Nothing more of what exists is great but the meme doesn’t end there, it day more will come into existence which isn’t true and is the magical thinking part.
There is are entire movements that pushes these types of narrative with all sorts of end goals. A very common one is how imagining being rich will make your money problems will disappear.
This sort of stuff sells because it works temporarily. Ignoring problems can make them appear to disappear but reality remains unaffected. The problems will persist.
If you’re in an bad situation, imagining you are not is a common coping skill but anyone claiming it will end the bad situation is pushing magical thinking.
Making it more tolerable is only the correct solution if it’s some specific types of anxieties.
That wasn’t my takeaway. I don’t think this claimed a solution to getting out of a situation. I think if you spend your time focusing on the bad parts of your day more than the good parts, you will feel worse, regardless of your situation. This is just about focusing on the positives.
