What if I am Just Not Feeling It?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   I’m doing all that I can, but I am just not feeling it. For more than four-and-a-half years, I have written about Positivity here, every week, without fail.  Over the past week a number of happenings have left me feeling mostly angry, sad, and not positive. A madman shot up a synagogue, and the unsympathetic President blamed the victims.  Another madman sent out bombs to prominent opponents

Five Steps to Change our Emotions

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Each of us has the ability to change our emotions. Yes, I know that this seems like a lie, but that doesn’t make it any less true.  We are each able to control how we are feeling.  You and I have the ability to change our emotions. It’s important that we recognize several facts about how emotions work, and how we are able to make changes to

How Do Want and Desire Differ?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   There is a surprisingly substantial difference between want and desire. Want is based in lack.  One of its definitions, from dictionary.com is to be without, or deficient in.  Want comes from a place of lack and scarcity.  It is a statement that implies that there is not enough, that you have gone without because that which you want there is not enough of. Further, that implies that

Consciousness Creates Reality, for Real?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Consciousness creates reality because all of our perceptions of reality are unique. Whether you buy into this notion or not, that doesn’t make it any less true.  Yes, I recognize that this may come across as hooky-spooky craziness, but let me present you a different perspective. Do you like our present reality?  I know that it’s entirely possible that you do, and if that is so, rock

How Do We Not Lose Hope?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Don’t lose hope.  I know that the world looks bleak right now, but we can still change it. Yes, there is some pretty awful stuff happening in the world around us.  Terrible people are doing terrible things; threatening to take away rights; disempowering and disenfranchising all for their own interests; shredding the very fabric of our society.  It feels terrible, it is scary and unpleasant and infuriating,

Positivity Can be Found Anywhere

Positivity can be found anywhere. How does the game Cards Against Humanity have anything to do with positivity?  Believe me when I tell you, it can generate massive positivity. If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you are dealt out a number of white cards with various words and phrases, some benign, some…various degrees of raunchy and/or gross and/or nonsensical.  Then, you draw from the black cards, which usually have any range of one to three blank spots you fill in,

Why Do We Compare Ourselves to Others?

There is no need to compare ourselves to anyone else. Each of us is unique.  We have our own gifts, our own talents, our particular, special way.  Yes, we are made up of the same basic molecular structure, and our souls are all interconnected…but we are still separate, unique consciousnesses. Consciousness creates reality in part because what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our singular consciousness.  Our lot is not just to survive, propagate and thrive,

Why Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Why do you deserve what you desire?  The short answer is simply – because you do. The slightly longer answer is because you deserve what you desire because you are capable of creating an incredible life where you are content and happy, because you can. The much longer answer is that you deserve what you desire because we live in an abundant universe.  Because of that abundance, and our power as creators, we are able to manifest our desires, and

Will You Get Uncomfortable?

Getting uncomfortable on purpose seems kind of backwards. Yet when we leave our comfort zones and work our lives away from familiarity, that’s precisely what we’re doing. I hate this part. There is nothing more disconcerting than effecting a major change in your life.  Really, how crazy is it to move away from the comfortable, on purpose, in order to create something that may be better…or, possibly, might be worse? But that is how consciousness creates reality.  We make our

How Does Familiarity Breed Contempt?

They say that familiarity breeds contempt.  Whether you apply this to a person, a place, or a thing, it tends to ring true. This is where the comfort zone exists.  It is familiarity, it is the known, and it provides us with a sense of ease and contentment.  If we get too comfortable, change becomes that much harder.  Change is, of course, inevitable. Familiarity is not necessarily a bad thing.  But too much time with the familiar leaves us feeling
