Send us a text
Positive thinking sounds like a strength until it becomes a way to avoid hard decisions, delay necessary endings, and skip honest self-assessment.
In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down the dark side of positive thinking: how optimism can quietly turn into procrastination, how “good vibes” can block accountability, and why real progress starts with truth, not feelings. We cover the difference between healthy optimism and toxic positivity, how to use numbers and standards to keep yourself honest, and simple rules that force action when you’re stuck.
If you’ve been telling yourself “it’ll work out” while avoiding what needs to change, this episode is your reset.
