Beware of Toxic Positivity

Life gets a lot better when you choose to view it through a lens of positivity and optimism...

I think that's something we can all agree on…

Just be careful.

Because most people fail to realize that there is a fine line between being positive … and being too positive.

I call this toxic positivity...

...and I promise you it is just as destructive as toxic negativity.

When your positivity starts replacing the truth of the situation in front of you...

It will keep you from taking the necessary action to fix the real problem and win.

You can have a positive attitude about being fat...

You can have a positive attitude about being broke...

You can have a positive attitude about your poor performance at work...

But if your positivity and "it is what it is" mindset keeps you from changing these things...

You have officially entered the toxic positivity zone.

Be positive...

But don't let "positivity" stand in the way of having the hard conversations with yourself that are needed to improve.

That's loser shit.
