Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, Nontoxic Positivity, and More
Only you can choose via your head, heart, and soul Everyone faces certain big questions along the way. Who are you? What do you desire? Why are you doing that? Sometimes these questions feel invasive. Other times, you can answer them with certainty. Most of the time, you need to look within to truly know what the answers are. None of the answers to these questions are static. They change. That’s because change is the only constant in the universe.
The decision is yours. Everywhere you turn, there’s doom and gloom. All across social media, new reports, conversations with friends and family, it’s like a cloud constantly hovering above you. None of this is normal. The sense of fear, uncertainty, and hopelessness dominating it all? This is not normal. Then, to complicate matters, finding the balance between knowledge and being informed versus oversharing and being inundated is always challenging. You can’t ignore what’s happening, wear blinders, and pretend this isn’t
Are they obstacles or unique opportunities? Some weeks, this article gets written the day before I post it. Other weeks, like this one, it doesn’t get done until the morning I create it. It never ceases to amaze me how it just flows with ease one week, while another it’s a struggle to find what I desire to write about. This is one of the latter weeks. It doesn’t help that it’s a rainy day. Not in the sense of
A simple act with a deeper meaning. As I sit here, trying to figure out what to write about today, it occurs to me that the lenses of my blue blocker glasses are seriously smudged. How often do I notice that and ignore it? Today, I paused, grabbed the spray and cloths, and cleared the schmutz off my glasses. That’s better. These glasses I wear when I work at my computer don’t correct my vision. I only wear them to
No, seriously, who do YOU think you are? It’s all too easy to worry about what others think of you. Hell, whole industries exist to address this. Almost every single advertisement sells you on the idea that if you don’t buy this product or service, you won’t get laid, everyone will think less of you, you’ll miss out, and so on. Be the envy of your friends and family by buying “X” rather than the butt of the joke or
That’s more positive than negative. We are living in a bizarre, uncertain, distressing world right now. Tons of progress made toward a more equal, diverse, inclusive, amazing world are being shredded by scared, greedy, uncertain, thoughtless people on many levels. It’s hard to find positivity in much of anything regarding the world at large. It’s hard to accept anything in your personal life that’s good without feeling guilty or selfish. Yet, truth be told, there’s almost nothing you can do
When you’re distracted, you become disempowered and cede control of your life. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. The biggest downside of the information age, the internet, and social media, is how much junk is out there to distract you. This, coupled with the inherent fear-base of our society, is being increasingly weaponized to cause chaos, misguidance, and disempower the masses. It’s gotten to the point where there are distractions from the distractions. All of this is designed to move you
Applied nontoxic positivity can help answer this question. No two days are alike. Similar, sure. Alike? No. This is because variables will make every single day different and unique in some way or other. For example, even if you wake up at 6am, on the dot, every morning, the sun isn’t precisely where it was the day before. No matter how close the temperature of the air is today to what it was yesterday, the humidity and barometric pressure are
Because conscious reality creation is a neutral force in and of itself. You’re bombarded every day with messages that tell you to take a stand against this, in opposition to that, and so on. It’s as if there’s an endless loop of things to take a stand against. While on the surface this seems like a good way to resist awful things happening in the world, its depths tell a very different story. That’s because consciousness creates reality. This is
Unless you’re being actively mindful, the answer is probably yes. The world is not the giant, insurmountable ball of negativity you read about in the news. Before you disregard that statement, pause a moment the next time you’re in a grocery store, public park, or anywhere else with lots of people. What do you see? Is everyone being terrible to everyone around them? Is it a war zone of people taking, pushing, shoving, and doing naught but harm? Or is
