Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
You are NOT an imposition on anyone else. If you feel like you don’t matter or nobody wants you around – you’re wrong. Let me make this completely clear. Unless you intentionally wreck things, act like an ass, hurt people, or otherwise do unconscionable things – you are not an imposition. Further, you matter and people will want you in their lives. I know a lot of people who question this for various reasons. Some are in reaction to trauma.
Have a happy holiday. Whatever you celebrate – or don’t – have a good day! This time of year is overwhelmed by holidays. Lots of people celebrate something, be it Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, A’phabet Day (or No “L” Day), Grav Mass Day, or what-have-you. There are also people who celebrate nothing at all. Whatever the case may be for you, I want to wish you a Happy Holiday. And even if you celebrate nothing at all, have a good day.
How I will feel today is up to me It is totally my decision whether positivity or negativity will prevail. Every single day is new and different from the day before. No matter how much of a routine you may have, no two days are alike. Why does that matter? Because it means that every day is a choice. How you will feel today is wholly and entirely up to you to decide. Frankly, I think that’s awesome. Why? Because

I know that, for me at least, on more than one occasion I either made no choice, procrastinated about, or did not fully commit to a decision. Why? Because what if I made the wrong one? This is why recognizing that few decisions we make are truly permanent is so important to really living our lives. No matter how

I recognize that in the face of the world today, and all the insanity nationally and internationally, seeking out positivity for yourself may seem like a selfish notion. With so many people facing adversity, cruelty, devastation, tangible and intangible bad things, doesn’t it make you selfish if you seek positivity and good things? No, because there are limited things we can all do

This can be particularly challenging, because a great deal of the way in which we perceive our universe attributes much to selfishness. And while there are certainly some tremendously selfish people out there, much of what people see as selfish is not. I want to begin with a broad definition of what selfishness is NOT. Selfishness is not taking

Good can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. Negativity is bad. Bad can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. When it comes to feeling, I think I can safely say that most of us desire to feel

Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; evolve; to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible. While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has shown the skills and creativity we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of

Yes, I know that this seems like a lie, but that doesn’t make it any less true. We are each able to control how we are feeling. You and I have the ability to change our emotions. It’s important that we recognize several facts about how emotions work, and how we are able to make changes to

Recognizing the good distractions from the bad is important. I often joke that I suffer ADOS – Attention Deficit Ooooooooooooo, Shiny Disorder. This is borne of my attention being drawn away from one focus to another, sometimes really easily. Distractions come in many forms. Some are, without a doubt, good. But more often than
