You know, when people don\u2019t take anything you say seriously. They expect you to shake everything off with a smile and a \u201cit\u2019s no big deal\u201d<\/em> attitude. If yes, you\u2019ve been the victim of toxic positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despu\u00e9s de leer esto, intenta prestar atenci\u00f3n a las cosas que te rodean, anuncios de televisi\u00f3n, vallas publicitarias, cosas que aparecen en tu tel\u00e9fono, \u00a1todo! <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s crazy when you think about it but we\u2019re literally surrounded by this big cloud of positivity wherever we go. This sounds funny and harmless but in this way, La sociedad nos impone un gran peso.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00bfHas visto alguna vez un anuncio realista de compresas o tampones? Ves a esas chicas felices corriendo despreocupadamente, dando saltitos con sus vaqueros blancos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They look like they just won a jackpot and not like they\u2019re bleeding and feeling like their insides are shredding. And here you are \u2013 lying down in the fetal position, in excruciating pain cursing the day you were born as a woman. So yeah\u2026not really accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Se nos impone una mentalidad positiva en todo momento. <\/strong>Los influencers predican un estilo de vida f\u00e1cil, el \u201cgood vibes only\u201d<\/em> cita est\u00e1 en todo lo que nos rodea y \u00a1gur\u00fas autoproclamados nos venden sus libros y cursos! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\u2019t even catch a break in the workplace! More and more often las empresas impulsan la positividad a trav\u00e9s de sus culturas laborales<\/strong> with the excuse of wanting to create a healthy environment when they\u2019re actually doing the exact opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vivir de esa manera no es normal ni natural para los seres humanos, adem\u00e1s de que a la larga crea un contragolpe mayor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Presionar a las personas para que pongan un bonito lazo a todo lo que dicen s\u00f3lo desestima sus sentimientos y les hace sentir que sus reacciones y emociones son exageradas. Y este es un camino peligroso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeping an optimistic attitude is recommended as we shouldn\u2019t be pessimistic about everything but forcing ourselves to be happy even when that\u2019s not the case is not healthy at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Incluso la ciencia ha descubierto que reprimir las emociones s\u00f3lo conduce a lo que llaman un \u201crebound effect\u201d<\/em>. Claro que puedes optar por ignorar tus sentimientos y expresar s\u00f3lo ciertas emociones durante alg\u00fan tiempo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sin embargo, tarde o temprano, eso rebotar\u00e1 y s\u00f3lo crear\u00e1 un efecto peor que en primer lugar, cuando elegimos no ocuparnos de ello. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trust me, I\u2019ve tried that and can confirm it. Dismissing my negative emotions and pushing myself to feel happy all the time gave me nothing except un colapso repentino y meses en terapia. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Algunos estudios han demostrado incluso que evitar las emociones negativas durante periodos prolongados puede conducir al desarrollo de muchas enfermedades, \u00a1incluido el c\u00e1ncer! Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo salimos de este bucle interminable de toxicidad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember how my psychologist gave me a really simple advice \u2013 you need to feel everything. Sure, feeling ugly emotions is not fun and easy but it\u2019s a must to keep our sanity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t hide from anger, sadness, and frustration by scrolling on your phone or binge-watching some TV show. If you do, those negative emotions will find you when you least expect it and crush you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esto tambi\u00e9n se aplica al trato con otras personas. Si alguien se desahoga contigo, evita decir cosas como:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know it\u2019s in our human nature to help others and we often think the right way to do it is by cheering them up but sometimes that\u2019s not the case. It\u2019s completely fine to be upset<\/strong> y a menudo lo mejor que podemos ofrecer a alguien es un gesto silencioso y un hombro sobre el que llorar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Otro consejo \u00fatil es consuma siempre los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n con un grano de sal.<\/strong> You don\u2019t post your worst life moments on Instagram, do you? So why do you think that an influencer and a friend from high school are living their best life every day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whenever you think someone\u2019s life is perfect, just know that you\u2019re not seeing the full picture. You have to remember that there\u2019s more to life than what we show on social media. Cada uno tiene sus propias dificultades<\/strong> and obviously, we won\u2019t share it all with the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But what we should do, is find ourselves friends we can share it with and not be attacked by a stream of toxic positivity but compassion and understanding. Don\u2019t forget to do the same for yourself too and remember that todos los sentimientos son v\u00e1lidos y est\u00e1n bien.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ever had one of those days where nothing goes according to plan or maybe you just heard some bad news that crushed your world?
