Jon my annual Brain Detox Challenge here: ⁠https://drleaf.com/pages/brain-detox-challenge#?utm_medium=sms&utm_source=attentive&utm_campaign=Message-01-16-24-10:28⁠In this podcast I talk about why it is okay if things are not good or happy all the time, and how our “social media” expectations can impact our mental health.We all know instinctively that things can’t be good all the time. No one’s life is perfect, regardless of what we may see on social media or what we hear or see as we go about our lives. I think we are all guilty of this—I know I am! Have you ever just looked at someone’s social media post or thought, why isn't this happening in my life? What am I doing wrong? Why do good things like this never happen to me? And, if we continue down this rabbit hole, we can feel worse and worse about our lives, which affects our mental health. It is important to remember that whatever we think about the most grows, and whatever we grow the most into our networks will drive us!🚨Get 15% OFF Brain-Ee bundle here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drleaf.com⁠⁠⁠   📲Get 20% off my brain detox app with code NEUROCYCLE20 (only for first-time web subscriptions): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://web.neurocycle.app/AuthSplash⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  💡OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:  -Apollo Neuro: If you also want to say goodbye to stress in the new year, check out Apollo!

Jon my annual Brain Detox Challenge here: https://drleaf.com/pages/brain-detox-challenge#?utm_medium=sms&utm_source=attentive&utm_campaign=Message-01-16-24-10:28In this podcast I talk about the negative effects of “toxic positivity”, and why we don’t have to be happy or positive all the time. Although this may sound counterintuitive, too much positivity can be toxic. It can harm people who are going through difficult times, and make them feel ashamed for experiencing normal human emotions like sadness, grief, depression, anger, and so on. If someone is made to feel that things have got to be positive all the time, then they may think that if they feel bad in some way, there must be something wrong with them, which can exacerbate their mental distress at a time when they need support and community. 🚨Get 15% OFF Brain-Ee bundle here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drleaf.com⁠⁠⁠   📲Get 20% off my brain detox app with code NEUROCYCLE20 (only for first-time web subscriptions): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://web.neurocycle.app/AuthSplash⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  💡OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:  -BiOptimizer’s Magnesium Breakthrough: For an exclusive offer for my listeners go to bioptimizers.com/drleaf and use promo code DRLEAF10 during checkout to save 10 percent.-Oneskin: OneSkin truly is the world's first skin longevity company.
