Does the Power of Positive Thinking Work? Or Is It Toxic Positivity

Just think positive thoughts about the terrible situation you are in and everything will be ok. That is typically the promise made from those who promote the idea of the power of positive thinking. But are we allowed to just have a bad day?

As a busy work from home mom and homeschool mom, it often feels like you can never have a bad day. The kids are watching us. We have clients to juggle. We need to keep up the façade of everything being under control. There are no chinks in our super-mom armor. Right? 

If you do have a bad day, then you aren’t thinking positively enough. Or you experience the guilt that you should have more control over your situation. Is it possible to just give ourselves permission to have a crappy day.
