Positivity

/ˌpɑːzɪˈtɪvɪti/ noun

Definition

An optimistic and hopeful attitude or the quality of being certain and confident about something.

Etymology

From positive, which comes from Latin positivus, meaning 'laid down' or 'settled.' The meaning evolved through 'definitely true' or 'certain' to encompass an optimistic attitude about life and circumstances.

Kelly Says

Positivity exploded as a modern concept in self-help and wellness culture, but it's interesting that psychologists now study whether extreme positivity can actually be harmful—sometimes you need to acknowledge real problems rather than just thinking good thoughts!
