We all experience things that cause us to have an immediate, negative emotional response. Last week I wrote about not holding onto that and letting it take hold of you. So, what are some means by which to cope with a negative emotional response? Everyone can employ something different, and there is of course no one true response.  Also, situationally, different matters may call for a different response.  Some options for releasing that immediate negative response could include meditation, crying,

Positivity: Perception

You get to choose how you perceive the world. Do you perceive this world as a place of terror, of agony, of hopelessness and sadness?  Or do you see this world as a place of possibility, of joy, of hope and happiness? Yes, I cannot deny that bad things happen in the world.  There are people who are sick, war refugees, homeless, and other undesirable realities.  However, our overall perception of the world is individual, and we get to choose

Ultimately, when it comes to how I feel, I am the only one who has any say. For a lot of people, this seems hard to believe, I don’t doubt.  Why?  Because things happen that elicit an emotional response we have no control over. Which is not true. I agree that things happen that cause an emotional response.  Yes, we get into car accidents, we spill food on our clothes, we get hurt by someone we love, we do something

Positivity: Rest

Everybody needs a chance to rest. Whether it is merely a few minutes, a night, or an extended vacation, rest is essential to our wellbeing.  We might have things that need to be done frequently, but we still need to rest and relax from time to time. Despite negative connotations in the idea of rest, such as slacking off or laziness or other similar perceptions, there is enormous positivity in resting. Resting allows us to change our focus.  Resting allows

It’s that time of the year again.  As you are reading this, I am on vacation. I wanted to look back and see what I wrote last year at this time.  That, in turn, led me to read what I had written the previous year during this same week. I didn’t stop there.  I paused and took a quick look back to all of my previous Pathwalks that were posted while I was on my annual vacation.  This year is

Positivity: The Zone

Seek things that can put you in the zone. What is the zone?  The zone is that place where you are in perfect harmony with the universe.  You aren’t thinking, you are just being.  Whatever you might be doing while in the zone is often effortless, seems impossibly easy, and is immensely positive. A lot of different references to the idea of the zone have been made throughout history.  Miyamoto Musashi in his Book of Five Rings referred to the

I frequently write about energy. I believe that everything, at its core, is energy.  That is the center of the Universe, that is the point of origin for all.  We begin and end as energy, neither created nor destroyed, frequently transmuted. Over the past half a year plus, I have been working to meditate more frequently.  Why?  Because meditation is the ultimate means to connect to source energy. What is source energy?  Source energy is pure energy in the air,

Positivity: Meditation

Meditation can do a lot of good. We live in a world of almost endless noise.  Everywhere we turn we are inundated with information, with calls for help, action, and choices to be made.  People often can’t just be content with the sounds of nature and carry music or employ some other distraction.  Noise everywhere. Mediation is often misunderstood.  The word alone, for many, conjures images of people sitting cross-legged, palms up, chanting “Om” repeatedly.  This is a valid form

While you, and you alone, can choose and walk a given path, you don’t necessarily need to do so on your own. The key is to know the difference between allowing someone to offer guidance, advice and help versus control, obstruction and discouragement. Nobody knows everything.  Plain and simple, nobody knows everything. Because that’s the case, everyone needs to seek help, advice and assistance from time to time.  While we may each have our own expertise, there will always be

Positivity: An Amazing time to be Alive

We live in an amazing time. We have the technology to communicate across the globe instantly.  We have miniature computers we carry around on our persons that began life as portable cellular telephones.  We have cars that can stop themselves, and are equipped with cameras and indicators for blindspots.  We have produce year-round from every climate in our grocery stores. Right now we are being bombarded by fear of all the change that this technology represents.  There are people who
