BUT-it's important to allow yourself to feel all of your emotions. Stuffing them away and deciding to focus only positively will only help so much when you feel awful.
Please do not equate positive thinking with stuffing feelings. Positive thinking is only the last step. It comes after "feeling your feelings." I get your point however. We must not forgive or move on prematurely because we are pressured by a belief system like Christianity.
Identify emotion
Talk about it
Write about it
Feel it
Accept it
Forgive
Let go
Move on
Start at the beginning with new emotion or event . . .
Stuffing means keeping an emotion down in our unconscious and not letting it up into the conscious mind where you can process it.
