What is Positive Intention and Why does it Matter?

Positive intention gives us hope and is practiced with mindfulness. Lots and lots of people are struggling. After 2 years of a seemingly never-ending pandemic, an ugly, pointless war in Ukraine, the dark impact of reactionary conservatives in politics and business, and increasingly illogical anti-science and anti-reason campaigns, I know I’m exhausted. And so is virtually everyone else I know, too. No matter how strong you are, you can only take so much. Everyone reaches a point of saying, “That’s

What if I am Just Not Feeling It?

For more than four-and-a-half years, I have written about Positivity here, every week, without fail.  Over the past week a number of happenings have left me feeling mostly angry, sad, and not positive. A madman shot up a synagogue, and the unsympathetic President blamed the victims.  Another madman sent out bombs to prominent opponents

Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; evolve; to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible.  While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has shown the skills and creativity we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Don’t lose hope.  I know that the world looks bleak right now, but we can still change it. Yes, there is some pretty awful stuff happening in the world around us.  Terrible people are doing terrible things; threatening to take away rights; disempowering and disenfranchising all for their own interests; shredding the very fabric of our society.  It feels terrible, it is scary and unpleasant and infuriating,

Does Optimism Generate Positivity?

Optimism is a good thing. Having an optimistic outlook on life, the universe and everything is at least forty-two times better than not.  If consciousness creates reality, then it goes to follow that if we have a negative outlook, we draw more negativity to us. Optimism and positivity go hand-in-hand.  Both also suffer from a similar stigma.  Many people see optimism and positivity as being pie-in-the-sky, rose-colored glasses wearing ideals.  Sunshine and rainbows, flights of fancy with no roots 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

Five Quick-and-Easy Positivity Generators

Everyone prefers to feel good over feeling bad. Finding positivity is about finding ways to feel good.  We live in a society that feeds on a steady diet of negativity.  Fear is a tool employed by many differently “leaders” to keep people in line, and sensationalism sells and gets more clicks on social media.  This can make it far easier to live in fear and negativity than to find positivity. Also, it’s Monday…so most of us are going to work

Where can you find Positivity?

Positivity can be found anywhere we look. There are all sorts of thing, big and small, that can bring about positivity.  Sometimes they are easier to see than others. We are alive and breathing.  We have amazing technology at our fingertips.  We are capable of loving and being loved.  We can have, do or be pretty much anything we desire.  There is sky above us and earth beneath our feet.

How to Build Positivity: Getting into Better Shape

Taking steps to get in shape can generate massive positivity. Getting in shape can also take a number of different forms.  Health is not simply measured as physical, but also mental, spiritual and emotional.  Giving attention to any one of these can improve our quality of life and be massively positive, while working on more than one or all of them can be hugely empowering. Everyone is familiar with processes for getting into shape physically.  Diet and exercise, skin care,

Positivity: Fresh Air

Cliché though it may be, there is nothing like fresh air to clear your head. I like to take a few minutes during my work day to get a sun/air break.  Step outside, get some fresh air, escape the stale office air and my computer. There is something cleansing, both physically and emotionally, in breathing in fresh air.  It awakens the senses, it rejuvenates the soul, it opens us up to possibilities. I know that this is super-trite, but I
