Today we are talking about how to stay positive without positivity bypass.
For starters, positivity bypass is when you believe that everything will work out in the end if you stay positive. This leads to people suppressing their negative emotions and refusing to deal with their problems head-on.
Have you done that before? Or had someone say things like,
“Just write your gratitude's it will be okay”
“Just think positive”
Now, what I am not saying (and hear me loud and clear) is that gratitude and saying positive things are bad things. They are scientifically proven to help.
But what I found in my life is, I was not actually dealing with any emotions, I just pushed them down with a smile on my face. Can you relate?
Suppressing and not dealing with your emotions can lead to anger, drinking too much, unbalanced hormones, masculinity or felinity overload, disease, and even Cancer…yep it can.
Now how do we stay positive and happy and not bypass our feelings?
Today we will share 4 ways:
1. Workout and release your emotions. While working out you release endorphins and serotonin and if you are able to scream or grunt it helps release those emotions.
2. Journal or meditate.
3. Regulate your nervous system. You can do this by screaming, singing loud, dancing, yoga movement, deep breaths multiple times a day, PMA present moment awareness, and being in nature
4. Forgive others. Forgiveness is less about that person and more about you. God always wants the best for us but that does not mean there will not be hard times, that evil won’t show up sometimes, and even show up in others. Forgiveness is always about forgiving the situation using it to grow.
