Focusing on the Positive

[jwhitleyjr]

Hello Everyone:

Is it odd or strange to only focus on the positives of your life even through hardships? I struggle with Anxiety and Schizotypal. A long with having a job that does not pay much. So for me it's tough to be happy and to be positive.

Hi. I imagine that having balance is a good goal. It seems to be important for mental health to be able to feel and process negative emotions. Otherwise, we can veer off into toxic positivity.

And, it seems important to be able to feel joy and appreciate the little things, too.
