Positivity in the Face of “Reality”

Is it possible to find positivity in reality, given current world affairs? Yes. Let’s face it. There is very little good news about the world right now. Australia is burning, and it’s pretty scary. President Trump is threatening to commit war crimes and has illegally assassinated a foreign leader. Climate Change is not being addressed as the threat that it should be. The ultra-wealthy are getting richer at the expense of pretty much everyone else. I could go on, but

New Year, New Choices

The New Year brings new choices The end of the year is here. What do you desire for 2020? For far too many people I know, 2019 was an awful year. Whether it was deeply personal matters, health issues, family problems, or the impact of the numerous awful actions on the part of the government, this year was rough. We are about to hit 2020, a year that brings us to the beginning of a new decade. Also, you’re going

When You Look for Fault

When you look for fault you will find it because you expect it. This weekend, The Rise of Skywalker came out. The 3rd movie of the 3rd Star Wars trilogy had a lot to live up to, and for many of us, it did. Is it perfect? No. Does it live up to the spirit of the series? Hell yes. Many of my friends have seen it, and the vast majority agree it was a fun movie, worthy of the

The Positive Aspects of Nostalgia

The Positive Aspects of Nostalgia: Mindfulness will show you if your feelings are for a real memory or an idealization of the past. One of my fondest memories of my childhood is Star Wars. I was five years old the first time my parents took me to see this movie. Though I cannot entirely recall the experience, I do know that as I watched that ship (the Tantive IV, FYI) come soaring across the screen, as if from over our

Communication is The Key

Communication is the key. When you have a problem with someone, you ultimately have the ability to address them about the issue. We human beings are gifted with a myriad of means to communicate. We can talk, text, use hand gestures and body language, and even a combination of most of these to express ourselves to one another. You can tell people things they did not know, or help them to understand your point of view. Or you can choose

Choose Amazing Traveling Companions

The quality of the traveling companions you choose can impact your life in many positive ways. This weekend I embarked on an absolutely epic roadtrip. I and three of my companions drove over 14 hours to Nova Scotia, Canada – and back. There was music, conversation, laughter, and a generally fun atmosphere throughout the long drive, and it was totally amazing. The traveling companions you choose can make all the difference between an okay time and one that is incredibly

One Thing Every Day

Doing just one thing, every day, for yourself, is unselfish. Today will hold many things. Some will be expected and predictable while others will be unplanned and variable. Today will be a day. You have the ability to make certain choices that will direct your day, influence it, and could change your experience in any number of ways. Practicing mindfulness and being aware, in the moment, of your thoughts, feelings, and actions can take any given day and alter its

Current Thoughts and Feelings Are Changeable

Thoughts and feelings are changeable. Whatever you are thinking and feeling is yours, and yours alone, and there is positivity in your power to change them as you desire. Today is a grey and chilly day. As I sit here at my desk, pondering what to write about, drinking my 3rd mug of coffee, I am feeling some trepidation and dis-ease. It’s not that I am feeling negative – I just am not feeling a topic in the positivity realm

Opinions Are Like Assholes

Opinions are like assholes…everybody has them, and many smell like crap. But you can also wash them and wipe them clean. It is my opinion that consciousness creates reality. I believe that the practice of mindfulness and becoming aware of what you are thinking and what and how you are feeling is how you become conscious for reality creation. It’s my opinion that positivity raises your inherent energy levels and opens you up to finding and creating new and better

How Can Saying No Be Positive?

Saying No is a matter of self-care and empowerment for your life. No is not necessarily negative. This can be an odd concept to wrap your head around, but recognizing the incredible positivity in saying No can open you up to a lot of potential and possibilities. How can No possibly not be negative? This is a misunderstanding of a word that in and of itself has a simple meaning, but that gets turned into a much broader, bigger, powerful
