Hello everyone and welcome to episode 103, I think it is. Today I'm going to be talking about

positivity, toxic positivity and what you can do instead that's actually going to make you happy

because I can tell you right now, as I'm sure a lot of us already know, this whole toxic positivity

of like just be happy, think happy thoughts, just, you know,

don't be negative. Doesn't work, okay? It does not work. It's ridiculous. But on the flip side of that,

I'm not saying that you've got to be all like really pessimistic and expect the worst. I'm

going to talk about what the healthy option is to do and what's actually going to lead to true

happiness and true self-love.

Toxic positivity is not that. The idea of fake it till you make it might work in certain

aspects of your life, but you can't fake happiness until you make it. You have to address what

is going on in your mind. You've got to address what is happening in your life in order to grow from it,

in order to not repeat these same issues, you putting a blanket over it and being like,

be positive. Absolutely is not going to work in the whole fake it till you make it. It does not

work, okay? So I'll be going into that and I'll be giving you alternative tools to use that

actually do work.

Yes.

Now, what else?

That's about it.

I'm recording this podcast earlier than I normally would.

So by the time you guys hear this, I would have already had my stunning holiday on the Gold Coast.

I'm actually recording this on the Friday, so I'm leaving this afternoon.

And I cannot wait.
