The Effects of Toxic Positivity

I didn’t get into the self-help world until I was 22 and after that, I was pretty much hooked. My dad gave me the book “Success Through Positive Mental Attitude” by Napoleon Hill because it practically changed his life. That book didn’t hit as hard for me, but I picked up Think and Grow Rich and that just clicked. It brought to me the concepts of being positive, affirmations, and the idea that I could Mary Poppins my way to success - think happy thoughts, fly up to the ceiling and life would be good and, on the contrary, think sad thoughts, you come down off the ceiling, and now you have to go home.  I really thought I could affirm myself to success. Say “I’m a badass. I’m awesome. I’m amazing” 10 times in the mirror and success would magically pop out of thin air, and I’d be off to the promised land. I mean, that’s how it was literally taught to me. You know, like Stuart Smalley from Saturday Night Live? He would sit in front of a mirror and say to himself, “I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And gosh darn it, people like me!” That ain’t it, folks.  LinksWebsite - https://successchampionnetworking.com/ (https://successchampionnetworking.com/) YouTube Video - (available soon) Blog - (available soon) Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion) Mentioned in this episode: BABs The Badass Business Summit takes place live and has one goal... helping you build business freedom. 17 business development leaders 8 Breakouts Sessions 8 Workshops 7 General Sessions Panel Discussions Live Podcast This isn't a conference where you will take a bunch of notes and then go home and attempt to implement.
