  For sure.
• 1:16
  But here's where things get a bit tangled.
• 1:18
  Some folks think positivity is toxic when it's used as a shield to ignore problems or suppress real emotions.
• 1:27
  It's like slapping a be happy all the time sticker on a complex puzzle.
• 1:33
  It just doesn't fit.

  There's a link in the description.
• 2:13
  And show notes below.
• 2:16
  So let's talk about breaking free from victim mentality.
• 2:20
  I have a very good friend that has a really awesome theory of psychology.
• 2:25
  It's called the victim victimizer theory.
• 2:28
  And what happens is we get stuck in victim mentality and it goes on a vicious cycle.
• 2:36
  So picture this you're in argument, there's a victim and there's a victimizer and the victimizer will pick, pick, pick at the victim.
• 2:44
  And then eventually what happens is the victim gets so tired of being picked on that they go back to the victimizer.
• 2:52
  And the only way out of this vicious cycle is to get to Victor.
• 2:57
  Victor or have a growth mindset.
• 3:02
  We do this most often, probably inside our own heads.
• 3:06
  And today that's what we're talking about.
• 3:08
  And toxic positivity is one of my most polarizing topics because I do not agree with the term toxic positivity.
• 3:18
  It is an actual oxymoron and positivity is used as force in the book Power vs Force by Dr.
• 3:27
  David Hawkins.
• 3:28
  And that is where the problem lies.
• 3:31
  So have you ever heard of the victim mentality?
• 3:34
  Because it's when we label ourselves as victims of circumstances.

  Allowing challenges to define us.
