Hello friends, I hope you are feeling very well and that this week will be very productive for everyone, that everything goes as planned and that we can overcome the inconveniences.
Today I want to talk to you about a topic that I think is interesting, since nowadays there are many people who want to sell us a lifestyle that is practically impossible to lead, I am talking about "TOXIC POSITIVITY".
Today, especially through social networks, they want to sell us an attitude and an appearance that I particularly believe should not be, I agree that we must see life with good eyes and we should not be negative people. But on the other hand there is the other side of the coin, being a POSITIVELY TOXIC person, as we know everything in excess hurts, so not necessarily being positive will always be the best.
Always seeing things in a positive way can deprive us of feeling the rest of the emotions that are also part of life such as sadness, anger, anxiety, being unsure at some time or circumstance, all of them are emotions that are not bad to feel, because life is not always a color of roses, there are bad and good moments, and each of them will teach us something, will give us experiences to face other situations and be prepared in the future.
Many people believe that saying "everything will be fine", "you can do it all", "you have to see the positive side of things", will solve everything and the truth is that it is not like that, we can give ourselves the pleasure of feeling stress and wanting to cry because things did not go as planned, everything lies in not turning it pathological, we can cry one day but be aware that better times will come and we will get ahead.
I think that as long as we know that we have the right to feel bad and the next day start over we are fine. There are gray days and we can also learn from them, life is a rainbow and not just one color.
Don't let someone want to infect you with their toxic positivity, let them know that it is okay to express the rest of the emotions, because in the end they are the most likely to suffer from some depressive episode, if we keep all those feelings and emotions that we don't express we will surely explode at some point and everything will be worse.
Let's not think that failing at some point is wrong, on the contrary if you failed it was because you tried and that will serve as an experience for when you try again. That will give you sadness and anger? for sure, but these are moments that we must live and then move forward. Do not let anyone tell you how to live your life or how to live your emotions, everything is completely valid.
