Every Day is a Good Day
Every Day is a Good Day
A friend on Facebook posted the following quote this morning: Not every day is good. Live anyway. Not everyone will tell you the truth. Be honest anyway. Not all you love will love you back. Love anyway. Not all deals are fair. Play fair anyway. ~ Tony Cain Let’s talk about that first line, could we? Is that really true . . . not every day is good? Even if you’re not “having a good day”, isn’t…

10 Things You Should Do Every Day Before 10 AM:
A friend posted this video on Facebook today, and I thought it well worthwhile to share here rather than simply reposting on Facebook. This way it is always readily available as a reminder of 10 things we can ALL do every day before 10 AM, creating an simple daily routine that will help us feel better and get more accomplished on a daily basis.

Christmas is not over
Christmas is not over
Contrary to popular belief, Christmas does not simply come and go on December 25 after a long, frenzied shopping season that seems to start earlier and earlier each year. Christmas actually begins on that day and runs through the evening of January 5 (also called “Twelfth Night”) — thus the twelve days of Christmas. So . . . why are we pulling down our Holiday decorations and putting away our…

My New Year's Resolution
My New Year’s Resolution
My New Year’s Resolution I was embarrassed this morning to realize it’s actually been six months since I posted anything in this blog! OUCH! The saddest part of that is the fact that I love to write, and I simply have not been doing so. I’ve allowed too many other things to get in the way — things that are keeping me from fully expressing myself and my thoughts and ideas, and from moving…

Do you ever ask, "What if"?
Do you ever ask, “What if”?
Do you ever ask, “What if”? There is not a time or decision that I can think of from the past that I can truly say I look back on with regret. However, there are moments that I often wonder “what if” — one in particular. California. 1976 Young, innocent, a bit naïve, my dream is to get into modeling and/or show business. Not exactly a secure future, but hey . . . like I said, I was young,…

Back in the Saddle
Back in the Saddle
Back in the Saddle No, I’m not a cowboy, but this trusty (or maybe “crusty”) old phrase pretty much fits where I am (or where I’m working to get to) right now. I haven’t posted anything new here for quite some time. I seem to have been focusing more on communicating my thoughts and views through social media — primarily Facebook. But it’s time to get back in the saddle and start moving this…

Spiritual growth
I wonder what it really means to experience “spiritual growth”. I mean . . . really . . . what does that mean? Every religion and spiritual philosophy around the world and throughout history has found ways to express knowledge of or relationship with a higher being or “a higher way” and the importance of . Some see that higher being (by one name or another) . . . . . . as an external,…

Bigotry
A World Without Bigotry I wonder what the world would be like if there were no such thing as bigotry . . . of any kind. It seems that bigotry has been such an integral part of human society throughout history that one would almost come to the conclusion that it’s simply part of human nature. I wonder when it began. Arabs vs. Jews, Catholics vs. Protestants, whites vs. blacks, French vs.…

The Art of Now: Six Steps to Living in the Moment (final)
The Art of Now: Six Steps to Living in the Moment (final)
This week we come to the sixth and final step, according to Jay Dixit, in learning to live in the moment — mindfulness.
Know that you don’t know
You’ve probably had the experience of driving along a highway only to suddenly realize you have no memory or awareness of the previous 15 minutes. Maybe you even missed your exit. You just zoned out; you were somewhere else, and it’s as if you’ve…

Move Toward Your Pain
As we continue in Jay Dixit’s articleon Living in the Moment, we hit on a step that, for most of us, can be the most challenging — dealing with pain in our lives. It is natural for us, as humans, to do whatever is necessary to avoid pain and disappointment; but life happens, and the best we can do when faced with unfortunate circumstances is to find the best and most…

Go With the Flow
Today’s portion of our series from the article by Jay Dixit (Psychology Today, 11/1/2008) discusses something that many of us have an extremely difficult time doing, but something that is absolutely vital if we are truly going to learn the art of living in the moment.
To make the most of time, lose track of it (flow)

Inhabit the Present — Breathe
We continue our series on The Art of Now, from a 2008 article by Jay Dixit in Psychology Today. Today we’ll focus on one simple step that any of us can take at any moment throughout the day that can not only help us release stress and focus on the Now, but could also as a critical exercise in helping to save your relationship(s) with others.

Savor the moment
We continue in our series on living in the momentwith our focus on savoring this point in time in which we currently find ourselves. Eckhart Tolle points out over and over in his teachings the fact the this moment, right now, right here, in this very place is all we ever have. The past is gone, it’s just a memory. The future is not yet here, and when it does arrive, it’s now —…

Stop Thinking About It
This is the second in a series called “The Art of Now: Six Step to Living in the Moment” from an article I recently came across in Psychology Today. Today we focus what we’ll call “unselfconsciousness” — the idea that we spend far too much time thinking about what we’re doing and the possible ramifications (how others may react, am I doing it right, etc.) rather than…

The Art of Now: Six Steps to Living in the Moment
It has been a while since I last posted an article here, simply because I have been taking some time off to focus on other areas of my life, particularly the art of living in the moment. It has all been very good, and I’ve discovered how learning to live in the now has gone a long way toward reducing the levels of stress and drama in my life. Now it’s time to get back to sharing insights and…

Vow to Love Yourself
I have come to believe that one of the greatest epidemics we face in our society — and in the world as a whole — is a great lack of self-love. I don’t mean the narcissistic type of love of which we see plenty of examples around us every day, especially on the TV and movie screens. I mean a genuine, compassionate love of self.
We talk about love for our family, our romantic…
