Wellness Simplified Podcast91: Toxic PositivityToxic positivity is becoming more and more problematic as people choose to share "love and light" and tell people to "stay positive" instead of allowing others (and themselves) to feel their feelings. Feelings aren't good or bad, being sad, mad, or angry is a reaction to something and a way for you to process what is going on. And you need those feelings. In today's episode, Suzi talks about how toxic positivity is making people unnecessarily feel bad about having emotions. Instagram: @suziconfesses facebook.com/confessionsofafitnessinstructor

Studies have shown that a short Yoga Nidra practice is as restful on the body as an extra couple hours of sleep, making it a wonderful practice those days when you are feeling groggy but don't have time for a long nap or rest.
