All those are wrong. Here's an actual small help guide.
1. Embracing Possibilities: This requires being open to trying new things by moving past fear. Imo, acknowledge fear and prioritise that which is above it. Like spending time with a friend, doing new things. Or doing new things to find a social group.
2. Boosting Resilience: Resilience is built through hardship, not positivity. Try repetitive training and learning, that's a hardship.
3. Enhancing Relationships: Relationships are built through weathering difficulty, communicating well and playing.
4. Improving Health: Depression and mental illness manifests in physical health. There are a number of treatments for it, none of which should involve positive thinking. They involve introspection, root cause analysis but mostly just talking and supportive people.
5. Encouraging Growth: Growth requires being open to being wrong and self-correcting. It requires moving past mistakes and accepting yourself as you are or as you were before a change and the mistakes you made.
Positivity is a great way to wall yourself off from reality and not accept it. Reality will eventually come and kick your wall down and beat you with the bricks.

You know who where the originators of: "The Power of Positive Thinking?
It's not who you think.
Yes they WERE wealthy. Yet more important is why they were wealthy!
Think about that long and hard.
I personally knew one of them, as a kid in the 60s. I'm sure glad I wasn't his son. Who I as well knew.
