Definitely not! Positive affirmations can be powerful, but they might not be helpful if they don't feel authentic or are forceful. It's essential to meet yourself where you are.
Some days, gentle self-talk or simply acknowledging your feelings might be more beneficial than pushing for positivity. Remember, it's okay to have days when you just acknowledge your feelings without trying to change them.
Healing and growth are as much about understanding as they are about changing. Find what genuinely resonates with you, and don't force a square peg into a round hole.
