๐ฑAffirmations on embracing lifeโs ups and downs
๐ธA study looks at cases that mess with the idea of 'positive' and 'negative', showing how thinking in shades of gray is becoming the cool new trend
The Nuances of Positive Psychology
Positive psychology has been all about the good vibes, but what if we told you that sometimes, negativity can be a good thing? That's what the "second wave" of positive psychology is all about, and it's pretty mind-blowing.
Here's the scoop:
๐ค Critics of positive psychology have pointed out that labeling things as "positive" or "negative" can be problematic.
๐ช๏ธ Sometimes, things we think of as negative (like anxiety) can actually be helpful for our well-being.
๐ The second wave of positive psychology is all about embracing the yin and yang of life, and understanding that flourishing involves both positive and negative experiences.
๐ญ The paper introduces this concept through seven case studies, including things like optimism vs. pessimism and posttraumatic growth.
So, what does this mean for you? It means that it's okay to not always be positive and that sometimes, negative experiences can actually help us grow and thrive. Embrace the ups and downs of life, and you'll be on your way to true mental wellness. ๐งโโ๏ธ
