Words Have Power to Build Positivity

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Words have power. It is really easy to forget the power of the words we say.  When we say negative things, we tend to create bad feelings.  When we say positive things, we tend to create good feelings. It’s important to keep this in mind when we are talking to other people.  But it is also of equal importance to keep this in mind when we are

How is Accountable Mindful?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Being accountable is an important aspect of mindfulness. When you are mindful, you are choosing to be aware of yourself.  You are aware of what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and actions you are taking from there. When we are mindful of ourselves, we need to be accountable.  Why?  Because the only way to improve our lot in life is to be accountable for being

What Do You Think?

Words matter.  It is not only spoken words, but written words we need to consider.  For some reason, the semi-anonymity of posting online has caused people to be incautious and unkind with what they put out there.  It takes very little for context to get skewed, or for someone to decide to stir a pot and create

How Is Positivity Worthwhile?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity cannot be created by thought alone.  Neither can it be forced. One of the key tenets of the self-help movement has been the numerous concepts presented to us about the “power of positive thinking”.  What many take away from this notion is that if you think positive, you will create a better life for yourself. The problem is, that’s only half the battle, so to speak. 

Why Be Happy?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you happy? We often shy away from this question.  Why?  Because when we look at the world around us, and all the troubles going on, we might just find that having our own happiness makes us feel guilty. It is one of the most ludicrous things I can possibly imagine.  Why?  Because just about everything we are doing with our lives is to find things that

Why Does Aligning Head and Heart Matter?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Getting head and heart in sync can build tremendous positivity. However, getting the head (thought) and the heart (feeling) aligned can be challenging. One way to get the head and heart in sync is to be more mindful.  Mindfulness, or awareness, can take us to all kinds of incredible places. This is not awareness of the outside world…it is awareness of ourselves.  It is a matter of

How Can Patience Build Positivity?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Patience can be a real stepping stone in generating more positivity. When we are patient, we allow for the time that may be necessary for change.  When we do not focus on why we need this thing or that right here, right now…we can better focus on the thing coming to us. More often than most of us realize, patience pays off far more than impatience or

How Can I Be Better?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   To be better, the first step is to define the most important question – better than what? Better than whom is irrelevant.  Why?  Because the only person we ever need to be better than is our present self.  Further, in truth, we cannot generally be better than anyone else.  We are, in the grand make-up of the universe, all equal. Yes, when it comes to certain athletic

You Know This

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity is better than negativity.  You know this already. Why?  Because positivity is good.  Good can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. Negativity is bad.  Bad can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. When it comes to feeling, I think I can safely say that most of us desire to feel

Where do Power and Control Come From?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The only real power and control we have is internal. All of the external expressions of power and control are never ours.  They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us.  Some take that responsibility to
