Can I Please Stop Second-Guessing and Self-Sabotaging Myself?

I would very much like to be done second-guessing and self-sabotaging. Despite the effort I have been making for over a decade to live life on my own terms, choosing my own paths – there is an ongoing challenge I can never seem to shake. Every path I choose, every approach I take, even when I am being super-mindful – I am second-guessing and self-sabotaging. Having just finished reading Gary John Bishop’s Stop Doing that Sh*t: End Self-Sabotage and Demand

Have I Successfully Redirected the Redirect of my Redirection?

Confused? Redirection can be like that. But it’s still massively important to redirect. I write a lot about very specific topics. Mindfulness. Conscious reality creation. Self-awareness. Positivity. And general self-encouragement/self-help concepts, ideas, and notions. In a nutshell – I write about seeking, finding, and creating new ways to be the best that we can each individually be. I am not an expert, don’t hold any degrees related to these concepts. I’m a student of life and share my experience as

How Might My Life Look When I Reach That Goal?

The answer to this question is key to the conscious creation of the goal. This moment is the only true moment in time. The now, the present, the here-and-now – this is the only time that is really, truly, real. The past has come and gone. The future is never certain. In the words of Yoda, “Always in motion is the future.” Most of us suck at living in the present moment. There is no fault for this, nor blame

If Yesterday Sucked Will Today Likely Suck Too?

I get to decide if today will be like yesterday – or not. Every single day I get to make new choices. I’m not talking about what to eat, what to wear, or those types of choices. I’m talking about how to think, feel, and act. Every. Single. Day. But that doesn’t mean I consciously, actively make choices. Often, I just go with the flow, follow my routines, and let shit happen as it will. That’s also a choice. Albeit

What Does the Saying “There’s No Time Like the Present” Truly Mean?

“There’s no time like the present” is a genuine, empowering understanding of the reality of time. Proverb, adage, whatever you call it – you’ve likely heard or read the phrase “there’s no time like the present” at some point. It may seem trite – but it’s quite powerful. Because of the complexities of human thought, we can get lost in ruminations of the past and plotting notions for the future. In truth, we can get so caught up in past

How Do I Break Clear of This Low-Energy Cycle?

I have low-energy today – and it’s not conducive to getting anything done. I have work to do. Both of my freelance jobs have things that need to be done by me. Nothing Earth-shattering or particularly time-sensitive – but they need to be done. Also – most importantly, probably – getting them done gets me paid. Additionally, I have my own writing and editing to do. There’s a novel that I’d like to publish this year that’s not done. On

Head and Heart – Thoughts and Feelings – Speak Different Languages

Head and heart are often tied together. But thoughts and feelings are very different. Lots of people have made this observation over the years. The head and heart – thoughts and feelings – can be in vastly different places, and often don’t speak the same language. I’ve written about this a lot over the years. The head and heart can often conflict because of how much they differ. This is one reason why people will do something they know –

How Can Today Be Made into a Notable Special Occasion?

You can choose to treat today as the special occasion you desire for it to be. Our culture has a major love affair with celebrating special occasions. These include birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, graduations, and many massive achievements like promotions, marriages, births, and so on. The focus, however, often gets rather narrow when it comes to defining a special occasion versus the everyday. People put so much energy, time, attention, and investment into a given special occasion that they ignore all

Choose When You Get to Choose

You get to decide to choose – or not – when faced with a choice. For the longest time, I was really good at deciding not to decide. I would stand with a choice before me – and overthink the crap out of it. I’d explore every possible “what if?” scenario, fear getting my choice wrong and having to suffer due to that – until the choice was no longer mine to make. Opportunities passed me by. Things happened outside

Am I Lying to Myself?

I don’t think so – but it’s possible I am lying to myself. The only person who can truly know me, in-depth, is me. This is because there is nobody but me here inside of my head, heart, and soul. No matter how much I connect with anyone else – in any way, shape, or form – I’m still the only one in here. The only person capable of getting at my motivations, recognizing my beliefs, values, and habits is
