“How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allah. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine.”

The Myth of Positive Thinking (and why it’s so dangerous)
Positive Thinking paints such a nice picture, doesn't it? "Positive thoughts lead to positive outcomes." "Positive thinking can achieve the impossible." Blah blah blah.
Don't worry. I am, by and large, a far more positive person than I am a negative person. I choose to see the good in most people, I choose to cling to the bright side of most situations. I give the benefit of the doubt much more often than I probably should. However, positive thinking has very little to do with whether or not you're a positive person.
And as a writer, someone who is more susceptible to poor self care, I've found that the difference between being a positive person and being a positive thinker is very important. I talk about self-care a lot on this blog. And understanding the subtlety of positive thinking and what that entails plays a large part in self care for writers
