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

The Positivity of Understanding

Now more than ever, there is a tremendous positivity in understanding. Unfortunately, 2020 has shown that people are frighteningly good at being unreasonable. For example – those who consider mandatory mask orders and social distancing to be violations of civil liberties. What they are telling me is that efforts to keep more people safe in the middle of an incurable pandemic are unimportant? Do they have some form of immunity so that they can walk around without a mask or

You Will Have New Ideas All the Time

You will have new ideas all the time. The question is – what will you do with them? In the eight years since I began to practice mindfulness and conscious reality creation, the practice has been altered. While the premise is largely the same as it’s always been – that you can choose for yourself the life you most desire to live – the how of it has been changed. This is because, in the 8 years that have passed,

Am I Being True to Myself?

Am I being True to Myself? How does that even work, and what does it mean? For the second time, I am listening to Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles. This is a most outstanding analysis of the writing process, and facing off against what Mr. Pressfield calls “Resistance.” What is resistance in this form? Resistance is the intangible something that whispers in your ear and gets in your way

The Big Picture Can Be a Trap

It is all too easy to neglect the little things in this world that make you feel positive. Especially when so many bigger picture issues will totally produce the opposite effect. Every day you are bombarded by fear, lack, and scarcity across social media, the news, and even among friends

What Control Do You Have?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You can take control by giving up control. One of the most dominant messages of society is control. There are any number of examples of this you can look to. Control over immigration; shifting control of industries away from federal regulations; controlling the media to be more favorable to one opinion or the other. Everywhere you look, there are attempts at assuming, creating, destroying, or otherwise shifting

Positivity Sets Your Frequency

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity can raise your frequency to improve life daily. Everything is energy. Whether it is the smallest subatomic particle or the largest star in the cosmos, the base of everything is energy. All energy vibrates and vibrates at a frequency. Like an older radio with a dial, you can tune into various frequencies, and sometimes you will get static while other times you get signal. Higher frequency

Why or Why Not?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Do you ever find that you are asking yourself why or why not a lot? Often the topic can be similar, but it’s just a matter of approach.  Why take that chance?  Why not take that chance? Why is a question we ask constantly, pretty much all of our lives.  Why is the sky blue?  Why are those people holding hands?  Why did he/she/they dump me?  And

Where do Power and Control Come From?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The only real power and control we have is internal. All of the external expressions of power and control are never ours.  They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us.  Some take that responsibility to

What Do I Bring to The Universe?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures. What do I bring to the Universe?  This is a question I know a lot of people ask.  The answer, however, is simple. You. You are the one and only you that there is, and I am here to tell you that this is a great thing.  Yes, you are amazing, and what you bring to the Universe are your unique, incredible gifts, and the youness that is
