This is something that is problematic for nearly everyone.  However, if you are dealing with depression, and/or anxiety, it can be even more difficult. What IS self-motivation?  It is finding our own inner-resources in order to motivate ourselves to do things.  Sometimes they are big things, sometimes small.  Finding motivation generally begins with the self, though we frequently go out-of-our-way to

Can You Know Too Much?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   It is good to gain knowledge.  But is there a line between knowing, and when you know too much? Previously I wrote about the topic of knowing.  As I opined there, the key to knowing is to recognize that for the most part, we know far less than we think. So if that is the case, is it even possible to know too much?  And if so,

How Does it Feel to Be Thankful?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   What does it feel like to be thankful? I discuss gratitude here a great deal, because of its necessity in conscious reality creation.  Moreover, I frequently explain that thought, and words of the thought, are not enough.  Feeling is an essential element in this manifestation process. It is really easy to say thank you.  Two words, pretty straightforward.  But the in-depth expression of gratitude, to be thankful

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   What makes you feel afraid? Everybody has things they fear.  Some are tangible, material things like spiders, snakes, and heights.  But the vast majority of what makes us feel afraid are the intangible, immaterial things. These include intimacy, success, failure, abandonment, wealth, and a vast number of feelings and emotions.  Intangibles, maybe, but still impactful on our lives. The fear reflex in each of us is hardwired.

What do I mean by that?  It’s actually very simple.  Did you do that thing you planned to do?  The question is a matter of taking a plan – the thought; figuring out how to do it – the feeling; doing it – the action. A lot of us are really good at coming up with ideas and

What is Knowing?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The key to knowing is to recognize that for the most part, we know far less than we think. Knowing how little we know is extremely important.  Why?  Because there will always be something new to learn.  There are new experiences to be had.  New people to be met. How many languages do you speak?  Do you know how to fence with a sword in each hand? 

What if I Suck at This?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You have permission to suck. A lot of people feel that they need to always succeed, always win, always get it right.  However, that is, in truth, impossible.  Things will not work out as planned, outside influences will change how a process works, or some other unexpected thing will interfere.  Hopefully it all goes as you want…but there are times where, no matter what you are doing,

Consciousness Creates Reality, for Real?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Consciousness creates reality because all of our perceptions of reality are unique. Whether you buy into this notion or not, that doesn’t make it any less true.  Yes, I recognize that this may come across as hooky-spooky craziness, but let me present you a different perspective. Do you like our present reality?  I know that it’s entirely possible that you do, and if that is so, rock

Can Distractions be Both Good and Bad?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Distractions can be pretty unavoidable.  They can also be both detrimental and helpful.  Recognizing the good distractions from the bad is important. I often joke that I suffer ADOS – Attention Deficit Ooooooooooooo, Shiny Disorder.  This is borne of my attention being drawn away from one focus to another, sometimes really easily.
