I am a very resilient person. I have overcome a lot of trauma and managed to survive and even thrive. I also acknowledge that my history and my trauma are things that caused some of who I am so I don't beat myself up when I have bad days... because feeling guilty for not being 'as good' as other people or Whatever can be just as toxic as faking positivity when you're not feeling it (Not to say wallow in a bad place, but acknowledging it, figuring out the root cause and then deciding if something can be changed or not is very valuable in my opinion)

This is a GREAT topic and you have some great ideas as well. I think it is a topic that is (for some) far more complex than could be covered in one article, though. You definitely gave me some food for thought and I'll be thinking on this throughout the day. That's a sign of a great post!
