No matter what situation or experience you are having, good or bad, you have a choice. Why? Because you can decide how to think, feel, and act upon whatever happens to you. Every single day we face choices. Get out of bed, or hit snooze? Watch TV or read? Workout or

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

Ironically, despite this idea of working with ourselves to help ourselves, people still seem easily inclined to give up their power, and turn to others to improve their lives. There are certainly plenty of times where we need the help of others. Doctors can treat illnesses and prescribe needed

It is not only spoken words, but written words we need to consider. For some reason, the semi-anonymity of posting online has caused people to be incautious and unkind with what they put out there. It takes very little for context to get skewed, or for someone to decide to stir a pot and create

As Marianne Williamson posits in her work Our Deepest Fear, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In a later paragraph, she writes, “Your playing small / Does not serve the world.” Her concluding paragraph begins, “And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other

Some are tangible, material things like spiders, snakes, and heights. But the vast majority of what makes us feel afraid are the intangible, immaterial things. These include intimacy, success, failure, abandonment, wealth, and a vast number of feelings and emotions. Intangibles, maybe, but still impactful on our lives. The fear reflex in each of us is hardwired.

The technologies available to us, the things we have built and continue to build. Things considered impossible just a hundred years ago are commonplace today. This does not just apply to the material. Much of the immaterial we believe to be impossible, is not. It is just a
Sometimes you need a change of scenery. This can be a tiny shift, or it can be rather immense, depending on the time and situation. A change of scenery, however slight, can go a long ways towards building Positivity. Clean off your desk, rearrange your furniture, change out your décor, change your body wash, look at some digital images you have on your computer or phone or online. Reposition and move about the small things around you that you can.
Only the now matters in the grand scheme of things. Yes, we can learn from the past and do things to prepare for the future…but this moment is the most real moment we will have. Only the now is the place of true reality. The actual, factual place where anything exists. Each individual moment, right here and right now, are where reality lives. My latest reading material has been Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.
Controlling emotions is particularly challenging. In order to manifest anything, you need to think, feel and act upon it. Thought is only the beginning. Without emotion behind it, you will remain where you are now. All this week I have been focused on the same notion. Positivity examined the power of words, and why want, a statement of lack, should be replaced by desire, a statement of abundance. In Pathwalking I explored how to go about changing feelings.
