Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
There is always something to be positive about. Sometimes you have to look harder than others, but there is always something. I know there are times when it all seems as though it is for naught. That it is hopeless, and that there is little to no point. Despite this, I maintain there is always something to be positive about. You are alive. You are here, you are breathing. You have opportunities and options before you. You have a chance
They don’t have the answers. Who are they? They are the people who tell you what is normal and not normal. The people who seek out extremes like black vs white, male vs female, rich vs poor and so on. The people who point out flaws, problems, things we should be distrustful of. Anyone who tells you if you do not follow in their same way you’re wrong. I don’t have the answers. The best teachers and therapists I have
What do you carry with you? When you wake up in the morning, do you begin feeling renewed? Do you start out your day looking forward to what’s coming, or dreading what’s ahead? We all carry different weights on our shoulders. We all have things we have to do, whether we are fans of them or no. The important part is what we choose to make of these weights. Challenges or burdens? Problems or opportunities? Matters or issues? They’re going
Welcome to the new year! So, as promised, I have begun to keep a goal log. What is a goal log? That’s really good question. This is my take on the answer. I went looking to find if there was some sort of an app for my phone that would handle this task as I foresaw it. Certainly I found a couple options, but nothing quite spoke to me. Also – I didn’t care to pay for an app at
Let it happen, or run with it. Life is all about choices. We can choose to accept life as it comes, or we can do our best to empower ourselves and take control over it. When we are inundated by the big pictures of our world, it can be a rather depressing place. So much anger, so much hatred, so very much fear. We are soaked within it, and expected to shake our heads sadly and wonder what, if anything,
The coming new year often brings with it reflections on the year that has been. It is important to acknowledge what has been. Denying the past leads to incredibly dangerous places sometimes, so it is good to be mindful of it. The other danger is living in the past. Because change can be so scary, there are many people who want what was. They want what they feel nostalgia for, they want that happier, more innocent time. Truth is, that
You have the power to take action and change. As the year draws to a close, instead of making a resolution, take an action to change your life. A resolution is merely a thought, and maybe an emotion. I resolve to eat healthier. I resolve to go to the gym regularly. I resolve to put more money into savings. Resolution is thought and the feeling it will bring about. Resolution is a step in the right direction, but it lacks
Discipline for me does not come easily. I have always had issues with self discipline. Whether it is my diet, my writing and editing time or anything else requiring focus and attention – I have regularly found it challenging to hold to what needs to happen to get where I want to go. This week I will share with you my plans, and work out with you what actions I need to take in order to create the discipline I
Who you are is pretty amazing. It does not matter what job you have or what categories you place yourself into – you are amazing. Geek, jock, nerd, Gen-Xer, Millenial, man, woman, gay, straight, bi, trans, black, white, tall, short, fat, thin, American, Asian, Christian, Muslim…doesn’t matter, you are amazing. We live on a planet with a rich diversity of ideas, of cultures, of traditions. We can communicate instantly across the globe with little or no effort. We can experience
Discipline for some does not come easily. I have always had issues with disciplining myself. Whether it was my diet, my writing and editing time or anything else requiring focus and attention – I have regularly found it challenging to hold to what needs to happen to get where I want to go. I have made a lot of effort in this department to address this problem. Acknowledging my lack of discipline is the first step, but admittedly there have
