Positive psychology is what is most often talked about in the field of psychology. What we forget to incorporate is the negative aspects of our lives. Positive thinking is almost always known to fail, because thinking that it can be positive all the time is just delusional. It is okay to embrace the negative aspects of your life and of your personality. Once you do that you will better be able to accept who you are deep down.
Key Takeaways:
- We often hear about positivity in psychology and don’t focus on the negative, but it can actually be helpful.
- If you are willing to embrace all the negative things, then you can better understand who you are.
- Focusing on just positivity is just delusional, face the negative, and accept it for a more positive outcome.
