"thinking positive" isn't enough
There are times in which we feel truly broken or stuck. Trying to snap out of it by ‘thinking positive’ or ‘practising gratitude’ can feel inauthentic – and can invalidate the anxiety, inner conflict, and grief we may be experiencing. We need to understand our emotions as signals of deeper needs. This is what leads us to meaningful action, and change that lasts.
You need self-compassion, clarity and tools to make the changes you need
