Positivity: Little Things of the Moment

Life is full to overflowing of little things. These little things are day-to-day items, occurrences, people, places and things that build up positivity.  They are many, they are varied, and all too often they are taken for granted. The little things are things that bring us moments of contentment, of joy, of peace.  They make us focus on the moment, forget the overarching world situation.  They are of far more power and import than we realize, and they can help

Crossing the Bridges: One Small Step

To cross any given bridge, you need to start by taking a step, literally and metaphorically. One of the reasons I began this particular blog post was to help me get my head screwed on straight, while I assess both where I am and where I want to be.  Positivity is a specific topic, and far more general, and while Pathwalking is my life philosophy, it is also a more specific focal point. What neither address is the more personal

Positivity: Expectation

What do you expect for the New Year? Expectation is a reflection of your mindset, whether positive or negative.  If you are expecting good, exciting, fun and awesome things, you’re thinking positively.  If you are expecting bad, depressing, bothersome, terrible things, you are thinking negatively. If consciousness creates reality, and I firmly believe that it does, then expectation of positives needs to be empowered more than that of negatives.  I don’t want to create a world of terror, failure, misery

Crossing the Bridges: The New Year

The New Year is frequently used as an opportunity to get a new start to things. Many people make resolutions, which amount to often grand plans for sweeping changes.  Years ago, I decided that while resolutions are all well and good, they are soft, non-committal, and easily disregarded.  This is why I started instead of creating New Year’s Resolutions, to take New Year’s Actions. I began to blog regularly five years ago, as a result of my 2012 New Year’s

Positivity: Remember, We Are All One

We are all one. I’ve said it before, I’ve written it before, but it bears repeating.  We are all one. We are all composed first and foremost of energy.  Energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed, just transmuted from form to form.  Beneath the skins of so many colors, under the genders we claim for ourselves, we are all made of exactly the same stuff.  We are all one. This time of year for some is hugely joyous, while

Crossing the Bridges: Optimism for the Future

I’m not feeling it today. I have attempted more than once to start this post, and every single start has stumbled.  I get maybe an intro paragraph, and then can’t go forward. Why am I not feeling it today? Because I have gotten too caught up in outside influences.  Because the madness of the world around me is interfering with my own thoughts and feelings, and I can neither shut it out nor replace it with something more useful, something

Positivity: No One is Alone

I know that this time of year can be rough for many.  For those of you struggling, I want you to know that you are NOT alone. We are all in this together.  Each of us finds highs and lows with this season, but I recognize for many it’s particularly unpleasant.  For those of you who feel that way, please know that you are not on your own. I know what it feels like to be depressed, sad, lonely and

Positivity: Imagination and Creativity

While it’s important to focus on the here-and-now, and not get caught up in memories of yesterday and plans for tomorrow, it is also important to remain creative and imaginative. Creativity and imagination are the things that most set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.  Unlike the rest of the creatures crawling, swimming and flying around this planet, we have deep, incredible, miraculous powers of creativity. Sure, birds build nests and beavers construct elaborate damns that can

Positivity: Motivation

Some days just getting out of bed is a challenge.  Those days often require motivation. Finding motivators is an enormous positive.  Motivators help us to quit bad habits, start and maintain good habits, and make positive changes in our lives. Motivation can come from any number of places, both within and without.  This is one place where outside influences are often to your advance, rather than against it. Self-motivation can be challenging.  Simply setting a goal, like quitting smoking or

Positivity: We Are

Sometimes the most positive thing to face is that we are here. We are alive.  We are breathing.  We have endless possibilities ahead of us for the day. In the face of a whole lot of insanity from outside influences, the holiday season, or you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder; finding and maintaining positivity can be a particularly challenging idea. It may seem trite, but just being alive is a huge plus.  You are breathing.  You have the ability
