I agree. It's not realistic to be positive all the time. Sometimes we're served up situations that are supposed to bother us for a reason and it's up to us to investigate (but not fixate) the issue. Having said that, if someone tells me to be positive no matter what, I always feel like it's because THEY aren't comfortable dealing with my concerns or feelings. I think the more realistic mindset (and probably even healthier) is to stop, consider what bothers us and why, but learn to not attach to it, but let it go. I say that so casually, but it took me years (maybe decades) to figure that out and I still struggle. 🤭
So beautiful! Thank you!
