The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Everyone has bad days. Everyone experiences relentless negativity. No matter how hard we try, no matter the attitude shifters or positive things for our awareness we work to use, there are going to be bad days. While I created these weekly posts to generate positivity, in order to help myself and anyone reading along, I acknowledge that there are days it simply does not work. No matter what we employ, no matter what we try, this day is terrible. There
Positive things feels better than negativity. This is a simple statement of fact. Negativity simply put does not feel good. Positivity does. Nobody wants to feel bad, angry, distressed, upset, depressed, or any of the myriad of negative feelings we can feel. Yet we practically bathe in negativity daily. Why? Because we are utterly immersed in it. Social media is full of complaints, the news is often upsetting or depressing, and we tend to think about it, talk about it,
Ultimately, everybody wants to be happy. I believe that’s what we all most want. Happiness. When we are happy, we are more capable of living a complete, satisfying life. Positivity is a direct path to happiness. Happiness is one of the ultimate in positive feelings, which is why it’s so important that we find and cultivate it as much as we can. There is more than enough anger, intolerance, unhappiness and outright hatred in the world. Adding to that only
Negativity only seems easier than positivity because we are absolutely inundated by it. Don’t believe me? Look how many of the news articles we read begin with a message that’s negative. How many politicians focus more on the negatives of their opponents rather than their own positives? How many people on your social media accounts are complaining about it being Monday? Everywhere we turn we are bombarded by negative messages. We are constantly being showered with this is failing or
What is an attitude shifter? An attitude shifter is something you can think about or focus on that will make you feel good. Shifters can come in any number of forms. A picture of a person, place or thing that makes you feel happy. A song or movie dialogue or comedy routine that puts you in a good mood. A scent, the smell of something that brings your mind to positive thoughts. Pretty much anything that stimulates your senses in
The world needs more positivity. Why? Because when we feel positive, we feel good. When we feel good, we enhance the ability to draw more good to ourselves. As such, we empower ourselves. When we are empowered, we are capable of almost anything. Unfortunately, we are living in a fear-based society. We are inundated with negativity, we are told that there is lack and scarcity, and that we should fear the unknown, the untested, and the unfamiliar. We sensationalize things
Sources to inspire Positivity can be found anywhere. Some sources of inspiration are easier to come by than others. Yet knowing we have an endless pool of resources, we can be inspired and find Positivity in all sorts of unexpected places. It’s important to keep in mind that inspiration doesn’t need to be a grandiose, earth-shattering something. We can be inspired by surprisingly mundane and uncomplicated things. Inspiration can be that simple spark that gets you to eat healthy, to
Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness. There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck? I am pretty sure the answer is NO. I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants
Everyone prefers to feel good over feeling bad. Finding positivity is about finding ways to feel good. We live in a society that feeds on a steady diet of negativity. Fear is a tool employed by many differently “leaders” to keep people in line, and sensationalism sells and gets more clicks on social media. This can make it far easier to live in fear and negativity than to find positivity. Also, it’s Monday…so most of us are going to work
Positivity can be found anywhere we look. There are all sorts of thing, big and small, that can bring about positivity. Sometimes they are easier to see than others. We are alive and breathing. We have amazing technology at our fingertips. We are capable of loving and being loved. We can have, do or be pretty much anything we desire. There is sky above us and earth beneath our feet. I know that it can feel like an impossible struggle
