September 13th Is Positive Thinking Day!!
Today is a good reminder that positive thinking is messy and difficult. It can be paraded as a cure-all for life’s issues, but it is not, and it is incredibly hard for so many of us.
I need to be honest: humans seem to build systems of shame, judgment, and fear much more easily than systems of kindness and love. However, this doesn’t diminish the worth of positive thinking.
Positive Thinking supported by systems of of care and safe spaces can help to undo years of deficit-based thinking. Yet, it takes a continual, dedicated effort to truly heal.
So this Sunday and always, I share a reminder, you are special, you are important, and you matter. And it is my sincerest hope that you can see the wild wonder that you hold. And if you are only just starting to witness that wonder, may you be able to own and chase this joyous journey the rest of your life, even if you stumble along the way.
And remember, no journey of positivity is perfect, nor does it need to be.
