Practicing Mindfulness – Thoughts, Feelings, and How They Impact your Paths in Life

Breaking down the roots of mindfulness for conscious reality creation for more clarity. What is mindfulness? It is the awareness of your thoughts and feelings. You gain recognition in the present of what you are thinking, as well as what and how you are feeling. (The intent of actions is a part of mindfulness as well, but I’ll get to that later). Mindfulness doesn’t just cover your thoughts and feelings alone. It also goes deeper. Mindfulness delves into your psyche,

Positivity Is the Best Offensive

In difficult times you need to choose the right offensive This has, thus far, been one of the most bizarre years of my life. I am not alone, because that which is impacting me is impacting you, too. It began with the always insane election process and the various ugliness that produces, whatever side you take. Of course, the whole climate change issue looms in the background to varying degrees. Then a virus becomes center-stage, and everyone is taking drastic

Be Your Own Knight in Shining Armor and Save Yourself

You have the power to save yourself from anything and everything. We live in interesting times. The world is currently in the midst of upheaval like nothing any of us have ever seen in our lifetime. It’s not a war, nor a great economic crash – it’s a virus. A microscopic invader that is hard to repel, impossible to see, and difficult to resist. Steps are being taken to keep people as safe as possible. They are, unfortunately, drastic –

What Makes You Leave Your path?

What makes you leave your path? If you are working on living a life you most desire what makes you choose differently? In the Chinese language, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters, one of which represents danger while the other represents opportunity. If that is not a quintessential definition of life in this moment, I don’t know what is. Outside of ourselves, the world may be going mad. There is a LOT of crazy random stuff going on

Mindfulness to Create Positivity is NOT Selfish

It is not selfish to use mindfulness to create positivity. Being aware of yourself makes you more aware of everyone and everything else, too. I do not doubt that many people see the idea of mindfulness practice as selfish. Putting your self-awareness ahead of others is counterintuitive nowadays to how good people approach life. I would argue that mindfulness is certainly not selfish because it helps you to be even MORE aware of others. Why? Because mindfulness starts at you

There is Never a Reason to Panic

As The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy says – Don’t Panic! It feels like the world is going mad, doesn’t it? Let’s face it, there is some pretty scary stuff happening right now. Great Britain and Brexit and the impact of that, the elections in the United States, and of course, you can’t ignore the coronavirus threat (nor pray it away or pretend it’s not a thing.) People are panicking. Fear has been elevated to new and utterly distressing levels.

Choice is an Everyday Activity

Even making no choice at all is still a choice. Every single day that you are here on this planet you are making choices. The vast majority of the things you choose are relatively mindless and mundane. When to get out of bed, what to wear, what to eat, where to go and when, and so on. Simple, frequent, daily choices you make that can, ultimately, impact your day quite a lot. How? Because maybe what you ate made you

All You Have To Do

All you have to do is make a choice. Decide to be aware. Work to find or create positivity. You have a choice. You can choose to be aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions – mindful – or not. Being mindful brings you to the now and allows you to choose whether your thoughts and feelings rule you or if you will rule them. Mindfulness is not just the awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and actions…but then choosing what

Did You Know You Can Choose Something Positive Right Now?

How are you feeling today? At this moment, you can choose something negative or choose something positive. It’s up to you. Before you stress out because it’s Monday, and for most people the day you go back to work after the weekend, please take the following into consideration: Reality is what YOU believe it is. If you think today is going to suck, you’re probably right. Recognize this and choose something positive. Other people are outside of your control. There

Always Positive is Impossible

Always positive is impossible – but how long you remain in a state that is not positive is a choice you get to make. Many people dislike any push for positivity. Why? Because they feel it’s artificial. You are ignoring major issues both with yourself and the world at large. Positivity all the time, they will argue, is impossible. On the one hand, they are correct. Always positive is impossible. As a human being, you will have experiences that are
