They treat you as if you do not matter, and they act as if what you have endured is not important. They are wrong. You do matter, and what you have endured is important. Yes, you have struggled against incredible odds, and continue to fight to do so.
Letting go is frequently challenging. But doing so opens you up to tremendous amounts of positivity. This can present a huge number of issues, however. Sometimes letting go is challenging because deep emotions can be connected to the thing you need to release. No matter how logical you might style yourself as being, nor no matter how hard you try to not hold onto emotions, this can be complicated. Yes, I have written many times that we are all able
Positivity can be found anywhere. How does the game Cards Against Humanity have anything to do with positivity? Believe me when I tell you, it can generate massive positivity. If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you are dealt out a number of white cards with various words and phrases, some benign, some…various degrees of raunchy and/or gross and/or nonsensical. Then, you draw from the black cards, which usually have any range of one to three blank spots you fill in,
There is nobody you need to impress but yourself. I know that this seems like a lie. But it is one of the greatest truths there is. There are always going to be people who dislike you, or disapprove of you. When they are acquaintances it’s a very different thing than when they are close friends or family. Some of the ideas we have, decisions and choices we make, actions we take will not align with other people’s values, beliefs,
This day is the same, but different from yesterday. Despite their similarities, no two days are exactly alike. No two people are alike. Each and every one of us feels things differently. No matter what the subject, it may feel as if it is the same, but it’s different. It is very easy to fall into routines. We human beings are enormous fans of things being unchanging, and familiar. But as I have been writing a lot lately, change is
Do you do things that you desire to do? It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves. Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on. Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a
Comfort zones are both comforting, and comfortable. It is within our comfort zones that we know what to expect. They are familiarity, they are the known. A comfort zone is like a luxurious down blanket, soothing and warming. Nobody likes to step out of their comfort zones. The unknown is outside of them, and the unknown can be intimidating, scary, unexpected, and downright terrifying. So it should come as no surprise that the only way to truly grow in this
Standing up for what is right is not always the easiest choice. But it is still a good choice. In the medieval reenactment game I have been playing for almost 27 years now, there is currently a leader, a “King”, who has been openly racist, and continually taking inappropriate actions regularly. In a society where most of the people I know are open, welcoming, and otherwise decent to one another, this is a terrible disappointment. A friend of mine took
Everybody needs a chance to hit the reset button. Whether it is merely for a few minutes, a night, or an extended vacation, hitting the reset button is essential to our wellbeing. We might have things that need to be done on a regular basis, but we still need to rest and relax from time to time. That is what it means to hit the reset button. Despite negative connotations in the idea of rest and relaxation, such as slacking
Sometimes you need a change of scenery. This can be a tiny shift, or it can be rather immense, depending on the time and situation. A change of scenery, however slight, can go a long ways towards building Positivity. Clean off your desk, rearrange your furniture, change out your décor, change your body wash, look at some digital images you have on your computer or phone or online. Reposition and move about the small things around you that you can.
