Know Your Habits to Change Your Habits

You can’t change habits you aren’t consciously aware of. When it comes to choosing any given path, the choice often requires adjusting routines. That’s not to say that all routine is bad. Some routines are super-healthy. They may be good for you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically – or all the above. Instituting regular exercise or writing out daily gratitude are examples of this. Some habits are obvious to us. But others are not. And that’s because habit exists in your

Stronger as We

The positivity of being WE and disregarding “us” or “them” is tremendous. We are all one. When you get past these physical bodies we identify ourselves as, the communities and affiliations you and I place ourselves within, and any other identifications you can imagine – we are the same. At our core, we are Universal source energy. It doesn’t matter if you are male, female, fat, thin, Christian, atheist, American, Korean, or whatever other labels you can think of. At

“Us” versus “Them” Is A Lie

The impact of “us” versus “them” harms our life paths. All of us live inside this society to one degree or another. Thus, all of us are equally subjected to a particularly damaging lie. The artifice of “us” versus “them.” All too often, this is used by those in “power” for control. They create “laws” supposedly intent on protecting “us” from “them.” All you have to do is look at the United States right now. Voter laws, anti-transgender measures, the

This Isn’t Self-Help Psychological Mumbo-Jumbo

Self-help involves any and all acknowledgment of mental health matters. Mental health is important. And the stigma that still exists regarding aspects of it helps nobody. A lot of different elements go into working on mental health. Many of these elements work best when combined. Therapy, psychopharmacology, and self-help notions can be used separately. But often a combination of these proves to be most effective. In my experience, the best way to not just find but stay balanced and centered

How Important is Communication?

Communication is the key to connection – both within and without. I would, unscientifically, estimate that 90% of all the chaos, uncertainty, and misunderstanding between the peoples of the world is due to issues with communication. These, like the people themselves, are wildly variable. Some of it is language – both a difference in the language used and comprehension of similar language. I suspect some of it is miscommunication – a lack of nuance, a poorly-stated intention, or general misunderstanding.

It’s All About Connections

What if the questions of life, the Universe, and everything are all about connections? There is nobody in your head but you. You are the only consciousness inhabiting your mind, body, and soul. The notions, ideas, beliefs, values, habits, and everything that makes you, you, are singular. There is no us inside of you, no them, just you. But you’re not alone on this planet. No, there are nearly 8 billion other people here. And that’s just humanity – the

Whose Life is it Anyway?

Are you living life for you – or someone else? As children, our parents have a lot of expectations of us. But a great deal of this – particularly when we’re young – is beneficial. For example – saying please and thank you, sharing toys with other kids, overall good manners, and punctuality are qualities you carry with you all your life. As you get older, teachers have expectations of you. Learn what they are teaching, do your homework, meet

Do You Know Your Triggers?

Knowing your triggers can be hugely positive. I have made it no secret that I’ve been battling with depression for most of my life. I’ve worked hard over the years on my own, with therapists, and take an antidepressant to maintain my overall sense of balance. For the most part, I maintain an even keel. And I practice at that regularly. I meditate daily, express gratitude for numerous things every day, and focus on mindfulness practices. All these keep me

Where Am I Now?

Answering the question “where am I now?” is a first step in conscious reality creation. The philosophy of Pathalking, when all is said and done, is about using conscious reality creation to direct the journey. Knowing what you desire to create for your life, and how you’d like it to look, provide the goal. However, the future is not yet written. To get anywhere ahead of where you are now – you need to know where you are now. Many

Release the Pressure

Much of the pressure you’re under is of your own making. This makes it hard to release the pressure. In a lot of us, there is an instilled need to be constantly doing. Striving. Working to gain, advance, achieve, or what-have-you. The need tends to create pressure – which then leads to stress. While stress in small amounts can be an impetus for creation and a lot of amazingness – too much stress leads to depression, anxiety, and mental/emotional issues.
