It’s Never Easy to Unlearn What You’ve Learned

Unlearning takes focused, mindful effort. One of the most infuriating things about the subconscious mind is its power of absorption. Seriously, it’s like an infinite sponge. Similarly, when you don’t wring it out from time to time, it gets nasty. This is often most apparent in how your subconscious holds onto ideas, beliefs, and values that are not your own. How does that happen? The indoctrination of life in modern society. With a few exceptions, people spend the first 20

Your Approach Is Always Changeable

You ultimately get to choose negativity or nontoxic positivity. A lot of things happen in the world that you and I have no control over. If you spend any time watching or reading the news, doomscrolling social media, or otherwise giving these things intentional attention, they can, will, and do impact you. Yes, there is some terrible shit happening in the world right now. Russia and their war against Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, and don’t even get me started on

Why Should You Give Yourself Grace?

Because you’re only human. I have just returned from a 10-day vacation. While it was something of a working vacation, it was a total break from my usual routine. I was living my best medieval life among some of my favorite people, away from my regimen in every way. Thus, I was barely online, had no computer, and was utterly removed from my normal work. I love this adventure every year and always enjoy the time with my friends. I

Neglecting Self-Care Is Bad for Your Health, Wellness, and Wellbeing

Everyone deserves a break from the grind. Too many messages in the world today tell you to push. Keep going. Never stop. Do the thing, then do it again. Make it happen. Keep giving it your everything. The problem is, we need to give ourselves a break from time to time. The trouble with this is that most people feel unworthy and/or undeserving of a break, a vacation, or the like. I totally understand this. Recently, it has come to

Why Are The Journey and The Now the Best Parts?

Because they’re the most real elements of life for everyone. My wife and I were watching some show on either the Food Network or Cooking Channel. We watch a lot of shows on each network because we both love food. Eating it, cooking it, sharing it with friends. And I, for one, have learned a lot from various shows over the years. For example, my knife skills have massively improved, and I make pretty impressive spice rubs for meats. Anyhow,

Only You Know the Extent of Your Best

That’s because you’re the only one in your head, heart, and soul. Lots of people half-ass things. I’ve done it on more than one occasion myself. Sometimes this is because the thing being done doesn’t truly need your full ass (or energy, attention, focus, etc.) Other times, you make a conscious choice to give that thing only as much as you feel like due to personal, impersonal, life, world, or other random circumstances. However, more often than not, you probably

Perspective is Always Unique to You

Only you can ever know your head, heart, and soul. How you view life, the universe, and everything is unique. And I mean unique to you, and you alone. Yet it’s mind-numbing and incomprehensible to truly grasp what that means: there are around 8,000,000,000 (8 billion) unique, one-of-a-kind perspectives out there. Because of this truth, we find ourselves frequently in disagreement. I see the world this way; how in the hell do you see it that way? From our unique

Why Is It So Hard to Release These Feelings?

Resentment is a mix of multiple feelings that are not easy to release. I’m going to do some oversharing here. For a long time, I have consciously worked not to hold grudges or resentment. I’ve seen what grudges and resentment do to people. In short, no good comes of it. Then it came to my attention that I have a lot of resentment I’m holding. Wait, how’s that? I’ve been consciously working not to be resentful and hold grudges. So

Acting on Releasing My Disbelief

Enough with the self-persecution already! The single most obnoxious skeptic in my life is me. The problem is, even with proof that this is an abundant universe and that I’ve manifested things into my life, I still fight heavy doubt. No, conscious reality creation does not work in a void. The Law of Attraction isn’t just hooky-spooky bullshit; it works – but not in a vacuum. There must be action taken. What it looks like will vary, of course, but

Some Feelings You Can’t Put Into Words

You’re not alone in having inexplicable feelings impact you. I have no words to describe what I’m feeling at this moment. I think the issue is that there’s no single what or how to the feelings I’m currently experiencing. The trouble is, because I can’t express this, neither can I release it. A little backstory. Today, there was a gathering of specific individuals in my life that always comes with complexities, challenges, and stress. What’s more, it’s mostly subtle, a
