Can Distractions be Both Good and Bad?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Distractions can be pretty unavoidable.  They can also be both detrimental and helpful.  Recognizing the good distractions from the bad is important. I often joke that I suffer ADOS – Attention Deficit Ooooooooooooo, Shiny Disorder.  This is borne of my attention being drawn away from one focus to another, sometimes really easily. Distractions come in many forms.  Some are, without a doubt, good.  But more often than

What Do You Desire for Today?

What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique.  I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different.  We likely are wearing different clothing.  What we eat will vary.  Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details.  All

How do you Savor the Moment?

Savor the moment.  Be grateful, and excited, and enjoy it, here and now. As you are reading this my annual vacation is drawing to an end.  I have been enjoying a week of rest and relaxation with friends and chosen family, unwinding and de-stressing.  Fun, good company, and an opportunity to hit the reset button. Rather than become bummed out that my vacation is over, though, I am going to savor the moment.  From there, I am going to take

Change is Opportunity

Change is opportunity. Since change is inevitable, and we can choose to embrace change or not, we get to decide if it is bad luck…or an opportunity. How does this work?  Change is opportunity because it is a chance for something new and different.  It might be a fresh start, it might be a shift, great or small, that can be used to take on a new direction or do different things. I believe that if more people saw change

Is There an Albatross Around Your Neck?

Is there an albatross around your neck? What does that even mean?  First, the albatross has been a sign of good luck to sailors for centuries.  As such, killing one is considered to be bad luck.  In the old poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, because the narrator killed an albatross, his fellow sailors made him wear it around his neck. As such, it references the notion that you have a burden weighing you down. 

What Does The Future is Now Mean?

The future is now. I always thought that an odd phrase.  But then, when you take the Law of Attraction into account, it makes perfect sense. Consciousness creates reality.  In being conscious of the here-and-now, the future is made. If our present reality is the result of our past thoughts, feelings, and actions, then by being wholly in the now and totally aware and present we create the future.  As such, the future is now. I have spent this week

How are we Luminous Beings?

“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda. Sure, this quote comes from a small green Muppet in an epic sci-fi story…but that does not lessen the truth of the statement.  At our core we are beings of pure energy.  The meat popsicles we see running around the planet are not who we are when all is said and done. Why does this matter?  Because we are beings of pure energy, rather than these bodies we present

How Does Surrender Work?

Surrender has always been a challenge for me. For much of my life, I have been something of a control freak.  Over the years that has grown much more subtle, largely because I’ve been working on being more present and aware in the here-and-now. But I still prefer to be in control.  I do the driving, I choose to take less-than-well-traveled paths, and I prefer to be in control of my own destiny. Unsurprisingly, conscious reality creation is rife with

Brain Squirrels?

These brain squirrels running around inside my head can be a real annoyance sometimes. Brain squirrels, or for some people brain weasels, are those annoying little rodents running around and causing dis-ease, doubt, distractions, and various negatives to get in the way of just about everything. Working with them can be challenging. I think everyone copes with this in some form or other.  No matter our intent or general thoughts, feelings and actions, these random, little, mostly annoying thoughts just

Can I Discipline Habits?

Discipline has never been my strength. For a long time now I have remarked about my frequent lack of discipline.  While this is certainly something to take into consideration in regards to how I live my life, it is time to make another change. Consciousness creates reality.  If I say I have no discipline, that’s an expression of how I feel, ergo…surprise surprise, no discipline. Like attracts like.  When I can be disciplined to do a thing, I tend to
