- Mary Ann Radmacher ✨ I am a pretty positive person. If you know me, you know I’m the type of person that’s always like “oh it’s all good!” or “it’s gonna be fine!” It’s easy for me to say things like “you got this!” because that just happens to be the voice in my head. My inner critic has a decently encouraging vibe. But I don’t feel that way every second of the day. No one does. Positivity is a powerful thing but it can also be a misleading, confusing, empty or even toxic. Funny. Positivity can be negative! LOL. It’s true though, and just saying you’re happy doesn’t actually make you happy. So today, let me remind you that if it is not in fact, “all good…” then that’s ok. It doesn’t have to be. If you don’t “got this…” - well that’s ok. You don’t have to. It is ok not to feel ok, positive, happy. It is OK to feel what you’re feeling. This is a scary time. And in the poignant words of Mary Ann Radmacher, sometimes courage really is just telling yourself that you’ll try again tomorrow.
