I was taught as a teacher that we were never supposed to “complain” about things in the classroom. When I questioned that tack, I was admonished. Now I recognize that a system that doesn’t allow me to acknowledge what isn’t working is toxic. I’ve learned a lot about honoring my own boundaries from your videos. Thank you.

Weathering the storm is about recognizing that there is a storm and protecting yourself from the storm❤

More than misrepresenting reality, toxic positivity goes farther: it suppresses and excludes voices of realism, healthy skepticism, and counter factual (I.e.: risk assessment) thinking. Sometimes it outright punishes and gaslights diverse perspectives. The result is cynicism, disengagement, and the flight of talent.

I consider myself a hopeful realist.
-
I say this all the time without knowing it had a name. Toxic positivity - this is brilliant. Thank you
-
Glad optimism and realism can coexist. I felt like I was always told I was a pessimist because of my realism but I felt like that didn’t quite fit me.
-
Your team will respect you for being real. Great opportunity to build trust.
-
I needed to hear this while the whole company is going through challenging times at work while no one seems to agree that it is challenging times
-
Right, part of my healing was admitting to God that I wasn’t okay. (I’m religious) and that was really hard asking God for help. But he’s coming through for me.

Holding space for others and self and having hope, faith, and seeing the light no matter how far away it is…I am also an eternal optimist

Alan Watts tells me reality is ommmmmm... Biting the apple from the tree of knowledge has been very toxic. Knowledge is the new currency but without action it remains an illusion or hallucinations. Application turns knowledge into wisdom. Now if I can figure out how to apply my experience strength and hope to help is my hurdle

That's great perspective
