Awaken Your Inner Awesomeness with Melissa Oatman-A daily dose of spirituality and self improvement

What is Toxic Positivity

What exactly is toxic positivity and how could it affect you? Toxic positivity is the belief that no matter how dire or difficult a situation is, people should maintain a positive mindset. This attitude doesn't just stress the importance of optimism, it minimizes and denies any trace of human emotions that aren't strictly happy or positive.  Toxic positivity actually invalidates someone else’s feelings. An example of toxic positivity is someone telling you just to chin up. Toxic positivity is meant to try to make a bad situation better, but what it really does is make someone feel that they must hide their feelings or feel guilty for feeling them. Chances are that you have experienced toxic positivity in your own life. Remember that your feelings are valid, and it’s important for you to express them.

The Mindshape Podcast with Joey Braun

Meet Joey Braun.  Joey is the creator of "The Mindshape Podcast." Joey was a teenager who was bullied in school.  His experience left him feeling depressed and like there had to be more to life.  He started binging on podcasts and self-improvement books, and he decided that he needed to do something to make a difference in the world.  What did he do?  He created a podcast where others could share their stories of deeply painful and personal experiences to show others that you can triumph in times of tragedy.  Joey's podcast is helping to inspire others and motivate them to improve their lives.  He has interviewed people in the throws of drug addiction to a man who survived an intentional house fire that took the lives of both of his parents.  His stories are real, raw, and inspirational.  You won't want to miss this.

A Lean Mind with Ozan Kulcu

Today I welcome Ozan Kulcu.  He is the author of the book 'A Lean Mind: Managing the Mind Process to Reach Emotional Balance'.  He talks to us today about one thing that we humans love to abuse: Emotions!
He digs into the mind process - a process which one visualizes how the mind works with identity, memory, senses, core beliefs, and emotions; constantly producing thoughts and eventually actions. When we take a step back and watch the mind thinking, we can actually understand its processes. Then we can realize that to improve the actions and thoughts, all we need to do is to manage the core beliefs and emotions which are the root causes of each difficulty we are facing. One needs to go deep into emotions because they are abused so much. We try to ignore some, we try to suppress some, and we chase some. What he bring is nothing more than a new viewpoint that will blossom into a new relationship with mind and emotions.

Cultivate A Beautiful Mind

Are you having a difficult time manifesting?  Does it feel like you are actually repelling your blessings?  You may be doing just that and not realizing it. The law of attraction states that everything starts with our thoughts. Whatever we focus on grows.

In today’s episode, I talk about how to keep your thoughts positive, even when things seem beyond your control. I explain how you can choose better thoughts in order to cultivate more happiness in your life. It is your birthright to be happy and abundant. It’s time to start claiming it.

The Daily Dill with Mike Pickles

Today I welcome my guest, Mike Pickles.  He is an author, a motivational speaker, and the host of the podcast "The Daily Dill."  We talk about how to get motivated, release your fears, and take a leap of faith.  You know...like starting a podcast.  We also talk about the importance of genuine human connection.  We are all too often focused on the material things in this world when we should really be focused on human connection.  There is plenty of money to go around, but there is never enough time. We need to spend more time making authentic connections to our fellow humans. We had such a delightful conversation today about life, relationships, and education.  Mike left me feeling inspired and uplifted.  You won't want to miss his interview.   
Listen to "The Daily Dill."
