Are Your Feelings – Positive or Negative – Always Valid?

Yes, your feelings are always valid. But understanding them is another matter. You’ve probably been in a situation where you had an emotional response someone deemed inappropriate or disproportional. You were overreacting, taking it too hard, overthinking it, or what-have-you. It did not help your situation, did it? Chances are it increased it, or made you more stubborn and deepened the feeling. What’s more, they might have been correct. You were overreacting, taking it too hard, overthinking it, or whatever.

Why Does Getting Over Feeling Hurt Take So Long?

Even unintentional hurt that we are made feel tends to linger. Someone that I care a great deal about hurt me. Let me be clear about several facts in this matter. First – I know it was not their intent to cause me hurt. They were in their own odd headspace, and it made them less receptive to the impact their actions had. Second – Given our history, this should not have come as the surprise that it did. Yet

You are Responsible for How You Feel

To some this is harsh. But being responsible for how you feel empowers you and doesn’t invalidate your feelings. Feelings are complicated. This is true for numerous reasons. Feelings are a matter of both how and what. How you feel and what you feel can have very different meanings, and even conflict. What are you feeling? This tends to be the name you put to the feeling you have. This can be challenging because there are lots of nuances in

This Is Good Because…

Finding the good in the middle of the bad. The current reality in which we are living is distressing, depressing, uncertain, and confusing as all get out. None of us have experienced something like this in our lifetime. The global pandemic has us taking extreme measures. We are sheltering in place, social distancing, and severely limiting how much time we spend in public, even of necessity. (Or at least – we should be.) Yes, there are some for whom nothing

Perception is Entirely On You

Perception is Entirely On You Nobody else can see the world through your eyes or from the inside of your head except for you. There is nobody inside your head but you. The only person who can think, feel, and do for you is you. It is nearly impossible to be completely cut-off from the world. So many things are constantly happening, and the connectivity between everyone via smartphones, the internet and such is a mixed blessing and curse. You

New Year, New Choices

The New Year brings new choices The end of the year is here. What do you desire for 2020? For far too many people I know, 2019 was an awful year. Whether it was deeply personal matters, health issues, family problems, or the impact of the numerous awful actions on the part of the government, this year was rough. We are about to hit 2020, a year that brings us to the beginning of a new decade. Also, you’re going

Why Choose Any Path at All?

Why choose any path at all? You always get to decide things, whether consciously or subconsciously. Doing so consciously gives you influence and control. There is no reason that you need to choose a path in life. You can simply go about your day-to-day activities, and let life happen. This might make you perfectly content. You may enjoy what life has to offer, and the adventure of your life may be ongoing and already acceptable to you. If that’s how

There Is No One Philosophy for All

There is no one philosophy for all. It doesn’t matter what you do or do not believe, there is more than one philosophy out there. When I began to write about the notion of Pathwalking for conscious reality creation it did not start out as my personal philosophy of life, the Universe, and everything. But over time, that’s what it has become. Yet my philosophy has taken much of its tenets and ideals from the philosophies and life ideas of

Current Thoughts and Feelings Are Changeable

Thoughts and feelings are changeable. Whatever you are thinking and feeling is yours, and yours alone, and there is positivity in your power to change them as you desire. Today is a grey and chilly day. As I sit here at my desk, pondering what to write about, drinking my 3rd mug of coffee, I am feeling some trepidation and dis-ease. It’s not that I am feeling negative – I just am not feeling a topic in the positivity realm

I Get to Choose How to Feel Today

How I will feel today is up to me It is totally my decision whether positivity or negativity will prevail. Every single day is new and different from the day before. No matter how much of a routine you may have, no two days are alike. Why does that matter? Because it means that every day is a choice. How you will feel today is wholly and entirely up to you to decide. Frankly, I think that’s awesome. Why? Because
