Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Gratitude has the power to change the world. There is nothing in the world quite as powerful as gratitude to build positivity. Expressing what you are grateful for is about as pure a positive act as you can create. Making a statement about the things you are grateful for is always a conduit of positivity. Recognizing the good things we have in our lives and giving thanks for them is incredibly energizing. It can give us a sense of perspective
Mindfulness is self-awareness. It is knowing what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and who you are intent on being. It’s continuously amazing to me how easily we lose sight of mindfulness. We get caught up in all the things around us, the attitudes and feelings of the people we surround ourselves with, and that in turn can overtake our own mindfulness. Why is this important? When someone is telling you about their bad day, or you are reading
Consciousness creates reality when we work to be aware of our thoughts, feelings and subsequent actions. All too often, most of us get caught up in our day-to-day activities. There are patterns and routines each of us follows. Before you realize It, you may find yourself just going along with things, and finding that you are dissatisfied because you are seeing more things you don’t want than things you do want. We are living in a fear-based society. Everywhere you
Do you want to feel good or bad today? Positive or negative? Empowered or disempowered? Despite the insanity of the world at large, or our jobs, or our families and friends, or any other outside influences, WE get to choose how we want to feel. It’s our decision to feel good or bad, strong or weak, empowered or disempowered. This feels like a lie, doesn’t it? Welcome to Monday, the start of the work week. Oh look at the continued
It costs us nothing to be polite. When did we become so impolite? What happened that, as a society, we accepted rudeness, inconsiderate people, and selfishness to be the norm? Walking through some stores, I was stunned how many people just cut us off, stopped in the dead center of a busy aisle for no good reason, passed dirty looks when I said excuse me, and let their children just run about without a care. I thought about it, and
I offer you my support. I am fortunate to never have been sexually harassed or assaulted. But I know a tremendous number of people who have been. I believe you, and offer you my support. We are all in this world together. Every single one of us wants to live the best possible life we can. And yet, there are people who do not think about how their actions effect others. Some of it is simple thoughtlessness, some a matter
The people who become our persons in this life can be an amazing source of Positivity. If, like me, you find that overall people make you crazy, you understand this distinction. What it boils down to is those who we get close to in various ways are persons, as opposed to those who are the faceless masses we refer to as people. People in this sense tend to drive us nuts. They cut you off on the road, they elect
You woke up today. That is tremendously positive. You have air in your lungs. Your heart is beating. You have thoughts in your head. These are all filled with positive energy. You are reading these words on a computer, tablet or phone. The positivity of that is impressive. It is very easy to forget that the positive exists in the smallest, most trivial things in our lives. Just being alive and living every day is immeasurably positive. I know that
If you are reading this, you probably have freedom. Freedom means a great deal. In the USA, freedom means the right to gather peacefully, to protest injustice, to love whom we choose, to worship as we wish, to express ourselves, and more. The positivity of this is immeasurable. However, there are things we are going to see in a free country that we do not approve of. White supremacists and neo-Nazis waving flags and taking to the streets is not
Never neglect doing things that are fun. When I was between 11 and 14, I went to overnight camps in upstate New York. Sometimes we would take hiking treks offsite. On two or three occasions, we went hiking at a place called Kaaterskill Falls. I absolutely loved this hike. The falls are in two levels, the middle level having a clear pool one can swim in, and a natural amphitheater behind the falls. This was one of the hiking adventures
