How to stay positive in times of trouble? Reframe and Feel through.
Being positive is not a mindset you can just turn on. You need to practise in thoughts and feelings.
More detailed information
It has been researched and proven: people who have a positive outlook on life build up reserves that they can use when things get more difficult. You become more resilient, more social, more emotionally intelligent and even physically healthier. But being positive is not as simple as the internet tells us. When things get difficult, we experience that forced positive attitude to life as toxic.
Living a positive life is not about ignoring or pushing away everything that is negative. After all, every human life, every professional life, goes through a valley every now and then. Reframing and feeling through are two ways of dealing with 'problems' and 'difficult emotions' and thus enable us to maintain a positive mindset.
