The Lie About Always Staying Positive

from Matthew Heneghan: Unfiltered · host Matthew Heneghan

The Lie About Always Staying PositiveEver been told to “just stay positive” — like it’s some kind of magic cure? Yeah, me too. In this episode, I answer a follower’s question about how I “always” keep a positive mindset. The truth? I don’t.I talk about the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect, why toxic positivity sets us up for failure, and how real resilience comes from admitting we have rough days. Positivity isn’t about ignoring the bad — it’s about recognizing it, owning it, and still being grateful for the things that go right.If you’ve ever struggled with the expectation to keep smiling no matter what — especially as a veteran, first responder, or just someone trying to hold it together — this conversation is for you.🎧 Hit play to hear why imperfection isn’t weakness, it’s human.Website: www.authormheneghan.com
