Stumbling Over Old Beliefs along my Path

Practicing mindfulness alone doesn’t always open the door to change old beliefs. One of the key elements of Pathwalking is using mindfulness to consciously create reality. Ergo, I am doing things to better myself and create the life I most desire to live. There are two super-frustrating things I cannot seem to get out of my head. These are my thought processes when it comes to money and when it comes to weight loss/body consciousness. Specifically, these are brain weasels

The World is Not on Fire

The World is Not on Fire Despite appearances, the world is not, in fact, burning down. There is no denying that we are living in trying times. The amount of hatred, anger, indignity, and negativity you and I encounter on a daily basis is utterly staggering. If you give this too much attention, it becomes far too easy to see the world as being on fire. Whether the dumpster fire is Trump, Brexit, corporate greed, climate change, or what-have-you, it

Life is Never a Singular Path

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You are empowered to choose the path/paths you desire for you. Over the course of your life, you are going to have different goals at different times. Some are small goals, others are larger and have a wider impact. All of them are significant to you. There will be occasions when you are on more than one path at the same time. For example: developing a relationship

Speaking Your Truth

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Speaking your truth is an incredible source of positivity. A lot of people may find this hard to believe, but that makes it no less true. When you speak your truth, you open yourself up because you are being your most true, genuine self. While it can be scary to show the world who you are by speaking your truth, it is unbelievably freeing. This is because

Recognizing the Three Brands of Truth

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   In any argument or discussion, there will always be three truths. Yours, Mine, and the Absolute. If you believe that the truth is the truth, you are right – but you are also wrong. This is because in many instances the truth is entirely dependent on viewpoint. In Return of the Jedi, Luke confronts Obi-Wan’s Force ghost about claiming that Darth Vader murdered his father, rather than

Are Extremes Real or Artificial?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The world is seldom the extremes we are presented. There are many reasons why this is so, but the extremes of our world, the polar opposites, are seldom where anyone or anything actually exists. I believe that a lot of the emphasis on the extremes is because they seem easy.  Either/or situations can be made to feel simpler than having more choices on the table.  What’s more,

Positivity is Not Selfish, Is It?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity is not selfish. 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

How Is Positivity Worthwhile?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity cannot be created by thought alone.  Neither can it be forced. One of the key tenets of the self-help movement has been the numerous concepts presented to us about the “power of positive thinking”.  What many take away from this notion is that if you think positive, you will create a better life for yourself. The problem is, that’s only half the battle, so to speak. 

Why Be Happy?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you happy? We often shy away from this question.  Why?  Because when we look at the world around us, and all the troubles going on, we might just find that having our own happiness makes us feel guilty. It is one of the most ludicrous things I can possibly imagine.  Why?  Because just about everything we are doing with our lives is to find things that

Are You Being Kind and Supportive?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Being kind and supportive towards others is a sign of strength. Somewhere along the way, this has gotten lost.  From the highest offices in the land to the poorest poor, we have become more uncertain and unkind towards strangers. All too often, people keep to themselves.  But more than that, they are unwilling to reach out to other people for various reasons.  Whether it is their intent
