It's a delicate balance. We had a LONG period of daily psychology that was very much about forced optimism and toxic positivity. We're now picking up on the fact that no, in fact it's okay and healthy to experience "negative" emotions as well - but that doesn't mean you have to always wallow in it either.

Just because we steered too far to the right doesn't mean the corrective movement should be all the way to the left. Also, it really depends on a person. Someone who is constantly running from their negative emotions needs to be assured that it's okay to feel like shit. On the other hand, someone who is always wallowing in their shit could benefit from being reminded of things to be grateful for etc. And most of the time you can't really tell who needs to hear what ( though it's oh so much fun to tell other people what they should be doing... ).
