Part 3 of 3 — Go back to Parts 1 & 2 if you missed them!
In the conclusion of our Toxic Positivity series, co-hosts Megan Lund and Ryan Marquardt dismantle the myth of forced positivity and reveal the extraordinary truth behind its efficacy. Armed with scientific research and endless personal experiences, you'll discover practical strategies to help retrain your brain for positivity, including how to identify and transform negative thinking patterns. We also discuss the novel concept of pronoia — the opposite of paranoia, and probably one of our new favorite words ever created. We share the benefits of positive affirmations, which we'll be creating on a monthly basis for listeners to focus on each month moving forward, and we discuss how to flip negative phrases into empowering ones so you can nurture a more positive outlook on a consistent basis. Your mind is mysterious, but the science around positive thinking is not a mystery at all. It can lead to a life filled with more authenticity, more resilience, better relationships, improved health, and help you find more meaning in life.
