Why Choose Positivity?

Because choosing positivity empowers you. Every day, you have choices. Get out of bed or sleep in? Oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast? Make or order lunch? Steak or chicken for dinner? Go to bed at 10 or 11? These choices are frequent, constant, and seemingly insignificant. But they are neither inconsequential nor insignificant. Life is all about choices. Great or small, everything you choose impacts everything you do. For example – let’s say you sleep in. And sleep past your

Yes I Can Empowers

The empowerment of Yes I Can is amazing. I don’t know about you, but No I Can’t makes me feel low, down, and dejected. It’s not a pleasant sensation. On the other hand, Yes I Can makes me feel good, up, and enthusiastic. It’s a very pleasant sensation. Positivity and negativity, at their core, come down to YES and NO. While there are certainly times when saying NO and stepping away from a situation is the way to go –

When You Go Looking for Negativity You Will Find It

Actively looking for negativity does nobody any good at all. We all know people who are constantly complaining. With few exceptions, there is something they can and will say on the negative in virtually any given situation. And they always will. Why? Because when you are actively looking for negativity, you will find it. You will always find it. This is beyond the concept of conscious reality creation. That’s because anyone seeking negatives in a given situation tends to have

Better is Always Possible

One aspect of positivity is that better is always possible. When things are bad, they can – and generally do – get better. Maybe not immediately. Certainly not as quickly as you might prefer. But they can, and will, and do. Because consciousness creates reality – this is something to be mindful of. When your thoughts and feelings are mostly subconscious, seeing better in a negative or even neutral situation can be challenging. But when you practice mindfulness and are

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 Too Shall Pass

Yes, this situation has been rough – but this too shall pass. Hard to believe that COVID-19 has been impacting our world for over a year. For most people, the impact was felt hardest when the nation shut down briefly in late March/early April of 2020. A shut down that was too brief to positively impact matters. Because of a lot of false narratives, focus on the economy over public health, and denial of the severity of the pandemic –

Giving Empowers Positivity

There is huge positivity in giving tangible and intangible things – giving empowers via a two-way street. A lot of people think of giving in the material. Giving time, money, donations, and other energetic matter. But giving is just as powerful – if not, in some ways, more powerful – when it’s immaterial. You can give immaterial things. This includes smiles, compliments, helpful (solicited) suggestions and advice, and other things that cost you nothing. But the most powerful thing you

Stay Home and Share Thanks Apart

It may feel negative, but the positivity of choosing to stay home and share thanks is immeasurable. Here in the United States, Thanksgiving is coming up. This holiday kicks off the season since it is immediately followed by mass consumerism leading up to Christmas. This year has been one of the most difficult for virtually everyone I know. Between the ongoing pandemic, a contentious Presidential election that the loser refuses to concede, and continued uncertainty stemming from both – the

Why Not Choose Positivity Today?

Today is the day. Choosing positivity consciously creates this fact. Why is today any more special than yesterday? Because today is the day. For what? Whatever you choose it to be. No matter where you have come from or what experience you had yesterday – today is a new day. Ergo, you get to choose how today is going to be. While this can feel like a trite, overused, hooky-spooky sentiment – that doesn’t make it any less true. Today

Who Wants to Feel Good?

Clearly, fewer and fewer people want positivity or to feel good. It is time to accept the truth, and I am going to do that here. Nobody wants to feel good. Everywhere you turn its bad news, terrible things, division, hatred, anger, and on and on. Spend 5 minutes on Facebook and you will receive a ton of negative messages. The negativity only seems to get bigger and bigger. Clearly, I am in the minority with my work to find
