Hey fam! 😊
As I'm writing this week's newsletter, I'm sitting at the airport lounge in Istanbul, waiting for my flight to Rome. I just spent some quality time with my family during the Easter break, and now it's time to head back to Italy. Saying goodbye to loved ones is always bittersweet, but I promise myself to be a better version of myself each time we reunite. 🌱
A few years ago, when my uncle scammed my dad, I saw the desperation in my parent's eyes, and I vowed never to let them down and always to make them happy. As the theme song "Gurenge" from Demon Slayer says, "The only thing that can change is myself, and that's all I need. I've learned the reason to get stronger..." 💪
🌟 Toxic Positivity Book Highlights
This week, I wanted to share some insights from a fascinating book I've been reading, "Toxic Positivity" by Whitney Goodman. In a world where we're often encouraged to "stay positive" and "keep smiling," this book explores the downside of suppressing negative emotions and the importance of embracing a more balanced emotional life.
Recognize the difference between positivity and toxic positivity: While positivity can be helpful, toxic positivity is the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state, leading to denial or avoidance of negative emotions.
Embrace the full spectrum of emotions: It's crucial to allow ourselves to feel and process all emotions, including anger, sadness, and frustration. Acknowledging these emotions can lead to personal growth and better emotional well-being.
Set healthy boundaries: Don't hesitate to distance yourself from people who consistently promote toxic positivity, as it can be detrimental to your mental health. Surround yourself with supportive individuals who understand the importance of emotional balance.
🌍 Language Masterclass Update
I've been working on an exciting Language Masterclass, and I'm thrilled to announce that it will be live in just two weeks! 🥳 Keep an eye on your inbox for more details and prepare to take your language skills to new heights! 🚀
🚀 Quote of the Week
"The only thing that can change is myself, and that's all I need. I've learned the reason to get stronger. So right now, hold my hand and march to victory. Even if I have to face the past that cannot be erased and the future that cannot be avoided, if I can get stronger for someone, I'll be thankful to carry all the sadness." - "Gurenge," Demon Slayer Theme Song
