What if Positivity is a Choice of Attitude – Not A Cure-All?

Toxic positivity ruins positivity’s true power to better your life. Positivity, in its truest, most genuine form, is a good and healthy attitude. It sparks productivity, creativity, and can be part of an overall sense of wellbeing. In and of itself, positivity is a constructive, good force for living without fear and combating artificial lack, scarcity, and the like. Unfortunately, genuine positivity is not the only form. Many have emphasized toxic positivity over the genuine article. Toxic positivity has been

Care to Know Why I Believe the World Needs More Genuine Positivity?

Because positivity is an attitude that can create empowering change for everyone. Why did I start writing about Positivity every week over 9 years ago? Because one Monday, I noticed that every single post from all my friends on social media was negative. Everyone was either expressing concern about ongoing problems in the world at large, personal issues, hatred of Monday and the work week, and so on. A wave of negativity that was akin to sinking to the bottom

Today What Interesting Things Are We Going to do, Brain?

Today we do the same thing we do every day – make choices for our life experiences. Welcome to Monday. For many people, Monday is the true start of their week – back to work, back to school, back to rote, and routine. Lots of people come down from the weekend – and time off away from the 5-day repetitive cycle – and start the new week with trepidation, discord, and not the most positive or helpful approach. Because of

Fear on My Path – Walk Right Into it or Run Away?

You choose if fear controls you or you control it. I am about to do something slightly terrifying. What is it? I’m going to take a step into the unknown. I’m doing something that is financially risky – but has the potential to be incredible. This is really scary. It’s bringing up a lot of my deep-seated fears, which can be dangerous when I allow them to control me. Like every other thought and feeling – fear is under my

Is Positivity More Than a Feeling – But Rather, an Attitude?

Positivity is more broadly defined than just a feeling – it is a whole attitude and approach. How we experience life is a matter of attitude and approach. This is a choice every single one of us gets to make every day. Hence why it can be utterly subjective and highly variable. Trouble is, people often don’t see that their overall approach isn’t neutral – but tends to be positive OR negative. And often – because of how we’re inundated

Using Attitude Shifters for Positivity

Creating and Using Attitude Shifters for Positivity When you use mindfulness to consciously create your reality, positivity can be a real game-changer. Positive thinking is not everything. You cannot just think positive and change your life. There needs to also be feeling and action to create change. However, having a positive attitude will help.

For many years, the power of positive thinking has been hoisted towards the top of the self-help flagpole. While it can be very helpful to think positively, it isn’t always sustainable, because negative things can and will happen, and should not be disregarded. But positivity is not just a matter

Positivity is Not Superficial

Positivity can seem pretty superficial in the face of reality. This has made writing this particularly difficult for me today.  My government is doing something truly awful, and while on the one hand I feel powerless to do anything about this, I will not be quiet and ignore it, either.  And it is infuriating. Pardon the interruption, but I am going to state this right now.  We cannot stand for this disgusting action on the part of the US government.

Shifters can come in any number of forms.  A picture of a person, place or thing that makes you feel happy.  A song or movie dialogue or comedy routine that puts you in a good mood.  A scent, the smell of something that brings your mind to positive thoughts.  Pretty much anything that stimulates your senses in

How to Make Monday YOUR Day

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
