We’re big fans of cultivating a more positive outlook on life but sometimes things are just really hard and taking a “good vibes only” approach just isn’t right. The internet (and world generally) is full of people telling us to be grateful and more positive, especially at this time of year, but this week we’re discussing what happens when we’re too quick to dismiss someone’s pain with an attempt to focus on the bright side.

We’d love to hear from you and if you’d like to contribute to our next topic on showing yourself compassion, please get in touch on the contact details below:
