How Do Positivity and Toxic Positivity Differ?

The difference in how each variant of positivity works comes down to reality. I am a huge proponent of positivity. That should come as no surprise. However, I also believe that you cannot just live on positivity. Bad things occur, shit happens, and you cannot just avoid, deny, or neglect that. The notion of toxic positivity is to deny and ignore the negative. Gloss it over, pretend it is not there. But that’s not realistic in any way. Life is

Positivity Sets Your Frequency

Whether it is the smallest subatomic particle or the largest star in the cosmos, the base of everything is energy. All energy vibrates and vibrates at a frequency. Like an older radio with a dial, you can tune into various frequencies, and sometimes you will get static while other times you get signal. Higher frequency

Do You Know How Bright You Shine?

As Marianne Williamson posits in her work Our Deepest Fear, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In a later paragraph, she writes, “Your playing small / Does not serve the world.” Her concluding paragraph begins, “And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other

What Does it Mean to Live in the Now?

To live in the now is ultimate positivity.  Why?  Because we are living. No matter our present circumstances, we are here, living in a world of incredible abundance and possibility, now.  The positivity of this is incalculable. I know that this can be difficult to believe.  I struggle with it, too.  There are responsibilities, bills to pay, weight to lose and other matters that don’t feel so positive.  Yet when we live in the now, we can experience a higher

How Do Desire and Want Differ?

Desire is an expression of abundance. Want is an expression of lack. When it comes to self-talk, it is imperative to be aware of the difference in these. Consciousness creates reality.  If we are focused on “wanting” something, we don’t realize that we are taking a lack approach.  Because words matter, it’s important to be aware of the power of what we say, and even how we say things. This also applies to the words we think and don’t necessarily

How Does Appreciation Empower Us?

Appreciation appreciates. Everybody likes to be appreciated.  Being thanked in whatever form it takes goes a long ways towards feeling good and generating positivity. Receiving appreciation is huge.  Expressing appreciation is even more ginormous. We live in an abundant universe.  Lack and scarcity are manmade concepts, used to disempower the masses, and keep the collective consciousness controlled by a small group of individuals.  Every single one of us has the power to create amazing lives where we will not lack

What Matters Most?

What matters is being the best you that you can be. Nobody but you knows who you are.  That’s the long and short of it. Let’s look at a single universal truth.  No matter how we act, no matter how much we strive to be real and genuine, people will perceive us based on their own experiences, expectations, prejudices and knowledge.  They will judge you based on how they perceive their own world, and there is nothing you or I

How Does Praise Empower?

Everybody likes to receive praise. When you do a thing, and you do it well, receiving praise for it feels amazing.  It is incredibly empowering, and it serves as an affirmation of the choices you make along the way. For whatever reason, though, our modern society eschews praise.  We have an almost surreal talent for criticism, but when it comes to praise, we seem to display something of an aversion to it. I suspect that one of the reasons for
