Ep 359 When to Be Positive (and When Not To Be)
In this episode, I talk about the difference between genuine positivity and emotional bypassing.
You know that moment when you tell yourself, “It could be worse” or “I should just be grateful”? While gratitude can be beautiful, using it to skip over pain can actually disconnect you from what’s real.
We’ll explore how to know when it’s time to feel your feelings — sadness, anger, loneliness, frustration — and when it’s time to shift your thinking.
True growth comes from allowing the emotion to move through you, not rushing to replace it with a “good vibe.”
You’ll learn how to recognize when positivity is helping you and when it’s actually keeping you stuck in numbing patterns — like over-drinking or over-doing, instead of creating real peace.
I also share when to share how you are feeling with other people.. it's nuanced and you will for sure want to hear this.
