How Can Anger Generate Positivity and Empowerment?

Recognize, acknowledge, choose, and do. Despite the many flaws and awful dialogue in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Yoda utters one extremely deep and useful nugget of wisdom. “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” Just about everything you do is inadvertently checked by our fear-based society. The bombardment of messages telling you to fear this, fear that, be afraid of them, and on and on, quickly overwhelms you. Much of that fear targets your

Are You More Capable Than You Allow Yourself to Recognize?

Odds are you’re more capable than you know. Arguably, everyone has limitations. This varies from person to person. These can range from the physical to the emotional to the mental to the spiritual – and combinations of all. What you can and can’t do is frequently part of your focus. The physical tends to be the most limiting. These meat-popsicles that people occupy are prone to lots of annoying issues that impact what you can and can’t do in them.

Is Your Morning Routine Exhausting or Empowering? The Choice is Yours

You get to decide if every new day will be exhausting or empowering. During the workweek, when you wake up, do you begin your day feeling exhausted? Do you struggle to get out of bed, get going, and face all that lies before you today? Or do you begin your day feeling empowered? Do you get out of bed, get going, and face all that lies before you today ready to experience potential and possibilities? Odds are, neither is the

What Can I Do to Get Better at Letting Go of Past BS?

We all hold onto things that don’t serve us. Letting go challenges us each differently. Over the past month or so, I’ve been focusing more and more on identifying my self-sabotaging behaviors. Thus, I’ve learned that my self-sabotage is born of conclusions I’ve made about myself, other people, and life. I recognize what these conclusions have been (for me, it’s that I’m not worthy, people are capricious and inconsistent, and that life is an unfair uphill battle). Now recognized, I

Do You Recognize and Acknowledge Self-Sabotage When You See It?

Self-sabotage is currently staring me in the face. There is nobody better at getting in my way than me. I have an incredible talent for tripping myself along any given path I choose. Somehow, I manage to find a way to self-sabotage. Then, I wonder what happened and how I can stop it from happening again. Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten better at recognizing it when it creeps up on me. Like a Dungeons and Dragons Rogue

6 Ways I Can Choose to Face a Trigger Situation

I believe how I handle a trigger and what I do after is my choice. But YMMV. There was a conversation thread on Twitter. It was skewing negatively, so I decided to make a less negative statement. Someone replied to that – in a way that I found insulting. I admit, my reply to their reply was somewhat less politic and tactful than it could have been. And that person went off on me for it. The response I received

How do you recognize if you’re walking the right Path?

How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask.  The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be.  Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and
