Toxic Positivity - 'Good Vibes Only'

In today's world, the slogan "Good Vibes Only" often pops up in social media and daily conversations. This phrase seems to emphasize the importance of positive energy and encourages steering clear of negativity to positively direct our lives. However, there are some deeper and overlooked aspects to the "Good Vibes Only" approach.

Toxic positivity is actually a state that promotes suppressing emotions and disregarding negative feelings. Always smiling and saying everything is perfect means ignoring real emotions. This kind of approach can negatively impact emotional health and prevent people from expressing their true feelings. 

Real life isn’t always filled with "good energy" alone. Facing challenges, experiencing stress, and feeling sad are natural. However, ignoring or suppressing these emotions can eventually lead to a bigger emotional outburst. A real positive approach involves accepting negative feelings and dealing with them. While doing so, it's possible to tackle challenges with a positive mindset.

Toxic positivity can also lead to disregarding others' true feelings. Ignoring someone's troubles or worries may make them feel like their feelings aren't being valued. However, genuine support and understanding begin with accepting others' true feelings.

The "Good Vibes Only" approach can distance people from reality and make them feel emotionally isolated. Always appearing happy and positive can make it difficult to form genuine connections and may lead people into superficial relationships.

At Ladan, we not only value external beauty but also internal balance and well-being. Instead of toxic positivity, we promote real positive care. This includes recognizing and accepting yourself and your emotions, finding inner balance, and embracing yourself as you are. Maintaining inner peace and balance positively impacts not only your skin health but also your overall well-being.

Real positive care involves not only smiling every day but also connecting with your emotions. Be kind to yourself and those around you, but don't suppress your feelings. If you're not feeling positive one day, explore why and take care of yourself. This is the first step in creating a real care routine that enhances both your inner and outer beauty.
