Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
In what direction would you like to take your life? Every day is a brand new day. Why does that matter? Because it means that every day you get new choices, new options, new possibilities, new opportunities, and more. No matter how the previous day may have ended, you get a new day full of new options. Or rather, you get to choose how to view this new day. You could also possibly see every day as the same as

You are aware of what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and actions you are taking from there. When we are mindful of ourselves, we need to be accountable. Why? Because the only way to improve our lot in life is to be accountable for being

Your feelings will try to take you one way, while your thoughts attempt to take you another. Oddly, despite these both coming from you, they can make you feel as if you are an outside observer. When you can reach that place, and be the detached, outside observer, you can best determine how to synchronize

Too many of us get caught up in the world around us, and as such tend to neglect ourselves.

However, if you are dealing with depression, and/or anxiety, it can be even more difficult. What IS self-motivation? It is finding our own inner-resources in order to motivate ourselves to do things. Sometimes they are big things, sometimes small. Finding motivation generally begins with the self, though we frequently go out-of-our-way to
Making a plan has not always been my strong suit. I tend to take actions as needed, but planning? Not so much. From time to time I will make a plan. But more often than not, I just go along and do what I need to do. This is not tremendously compatible with the notion of conscious reality creation. Take my writing, for instance. A friend once told me there are two kinds of writers in the world – planners
There is a difference between action and intentional action. Action without intention can produce unintended results. Further, it can hamper your conscious reality creation efforts. The process of conscious reality creation is rather set. Thought, feeling and action are linked together in this operation. However, it is of vital importance that there be clarity, or else more likely you’ll find yourself wondering why you don’t seem to be getting where you want to go. Thought is the easiest concept. Everybody
Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness. There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck? I am pretty sure the answer is NO. I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants
There are actions I can take, right now, to change my life. The challenge with this is in mindfulness. While the action I am looking to take is relatively simple, it requires a great deal of mindfulness. I have written before about the power of the words I AM. These two little words will ultimately define me, in the here and now, in absolute and specific ways. I AM is far more powerful than the retrospective I WAS or the
