Whatever your constitution, it’s not difficult to fall into a pessimism trap in the world we live in today. Things look pretty bleak, right? But pessimism, fear, anxiety, negativity, and lack of hope all seem so heavy and dark, and an unfulfilling way to go through life. For me, on days when I feel pessimism creep in, I get out in Nature, listen to music, ride my bike, and meditate. It’s amazing how things can shift. #optimisim

As humans, we have a built-in bias to see what’s not working, what needs fixing, what doesn’t measure up. In general, it’s not bad to see the negative… we avoid falling into pits by looking out for potholes. But seeing only the negative results is what I call “paper towel tube vision.”
Why Do We Worry So? When it comes to concerns about life’s uneasy or potentially disastrous situations, we start to worry. I don’t think there is a single person in this world that hasn’t experienced a copious bout of the collywobbles in their lifetime — but why do we do this? There could be a […]
Humans feel and yes, humans think…a lot. But regardless of the implications of the famous quote by Descartes, “I think, therefore I am,” just thinking something doesn’t actually make it so. It turns out that for things to happen, there needs to be an initial cause. It turns out that for us to have the things that we want to show up in our lives to snap us out of monotony, WE need to show up first! So, one of the best ways to know things are about to get interesting in your life is after assessing your own pro-active involvement in it!
Losing someone is not a test, it is expansion. Events. Circumstances. Losses. Gains. These are more than what they seem on the surface. They are opportunities for clarity, growth, embracing the moment, seizing the day. Turn not away from the hurt or the joy, but fully embrace and allow it to permeate.

I am not a spokesperson or poster child for ANY religion, dogma, etc., but as I read somewhere within the innerscape of Facebook memes…”If you spend enough time with me, I’ll brainwash you into thinking for yourself.” This could not be truer. In my experience, people grow and flourish when they are validated, accepted, shown love and kindness, and are only nudged one way or the other when they actually SEEK to be nudged.

Allowing oneself to step back and observe rather than play into what is “happening” around you, is really the easiest way to keep it simple…in all areas of your life. This way of choosing to focus on issues allows you to also see the light at the end of the tunnel or rather the opportunity lying within the obstacle itself.
Belief is just limitation through judging one thing as good and another as bad.
What if our soul is, as poet Mary Oliver says, “pure light that shines where no one is”? In her poem (conveniently titled Poem), Mary Oliver speaks to the notion of the soul like this: “Airy and shapeless thing,/ it needs/ the metaphor of the body. . . to be understood/ to be more than […]
