What’s Been Going On

This was originally posted on my personal blog Well Color Me V=Back in December, I got sick. I thought it was just a sinus infection. The doctor gave me meds and it went away. All was well in my world, or so I thought. Less than a month later, the sinus infection along with a horrible cough was back. The doctors were reluctant to give me another antibiotic, which I get, because they don't want to over prescribe. They gave me cough medicine with codeine, and Benzonatate, neither of which did jack for my cough. I was miserable, people I work with were sick of listening to me cough all day long, and my family was over hearing me cough all night long. Back to the doctor I went and they decided that another antibiotic was indeed in order. Again, it worked and all was well in my world. Until the cough came back with a vengeance. Nothing was touching this cough. I ate cough drop after cough drop, I tried using a neti pot, over the counter cough remedies and home remedies. And still my cough remained, so back to the doctor I went. They decided that the best…

Let’s Connect

Hi Everyone - I'm really hoping to start some meaningful conversations around the topic of positive thinking.  I've started a facebook group which you can find here to us as a forum for people to talk about positive thinking.  I want to hear what works for people and what doesn't.  I think we all have a lot to share and we can really help one another.  Watching the news and reading the paper, I see so much negativity in this world, and I want to combat it, with one positive thought at a time.  But I need help.  I need YOUR help. So why not stop by and share a tip or a trick, or ask a question.

What Follows YOUR I Am?

I just read an amazing article at YourTango.com - here is a brief snippit of it and a link to the complete article - it's really good, I suggest you check it out, and more importantly - change your I Am statements. Whatever Follows Your "I AM" Is What You Attract Into Your Life by RJ Banks It's all about the law of attraction. Do any of these statements sound familiar? "I'm so broke." "I'm so tired." "I'm so stupid," And the list goes on... Whether you know it or not, or like it or not, you're reciting affirmations for your subconscious mind to program your beliefs about yourself and your life. Unfortunately, negative affirmations are just as effective in our lives as positive affirmations.......  Continue reading HERE

The Benefits of Yoga and Thinking Positive

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for opinions here.  As you know, I'm always looking for ways to think positive and improve my mental health.  I am also looking for ways to improve my physical health.  I've been looking at yoga as a way to combine these two things.  Do any of you practice yoga, and do you think these two things will work together.  Please share your thoughts, opinions and information in the comment section.  I'd LOVE to hear what you think.

Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.~ St. Francis of Assisi I was going to blog about this quote, because honestly, it's a great quote.  If you break the impossible down into smaller chunks and start with what you can do, you'll find that the impossible becomes possible. That's what I WAS going to blog about, but instead I'm going to talk about life.  Life and how it seems so incredibly overwhelming and how incredibly difficult it can be to remain positive when you're faced with the everyday frustrations that seem to crop up with annoying regularity. I'm going through such a period right now, and if I'm not going to talk the talk and walk the walk, how can I, in good conscience, expect others to do it?  I actually posted on my personal twitter acount that i was jumping off the positivity train and and climbing on the life sucks bus.  This is NOT the attitude of a positive person by any stretch of the imagination.  I'd like to say it was a momentary aberration, but the mood has persisted for a couple of days. This is where the opportunity…

The Importance of Self Belief – Ian Lock

Please enjoy this guest post from author Ian Lock IAN LOCK on the importance of Self Belief...   How can self belief help you to be Extraordinary?   As we move into 2013, I find myself thinking a lot about the power of self belief. Our self belief impacts upon everything that we are and everything that we do. People with true self belief can go anywhere and do anything. People with false self belief, or bravado, often just pretend they can.   Can you remember a time when you truly believed in yourself, felt good about who you were and what you could do? A time when you felt really positive? Even if it was only for a brief moment, can you remember how you felt and what you believed?   For me one of those times was when my daughter, Imogen, was born. I remember standing in the hospital room at around 2.30 am holding this precious little bundle in my arms and looking out across the skyline. I had an enormous sense of well being and purpose. I felt ready to face into the rest of my life and create possibilities for me and my family. I…

She Gave Me the Finger, I Gave Her My Heart – Chris Cade

Though that may sound like like the name of a really bad country song, I assure you I haven't switched vocations to become a musician. :) See, the other day I was taking my son to preschool and I had an "interaction" with a driver. There is a highway interchange that was designed very poorly and has great potential for accidents. All the people in the left lane have to get over to the right lane (which turns very quickly), and all the people coming from the right lane (which is a curve) have to get over into the left lane. To compound the issue, those going from right to left have a metering light that brings traffic to a stop. During rush hour, it's a dangerous intersection. I was in the left lane, another woman in the right. I kindly slowed so that she'd be able to get into the lane in front of me. Then I'd be able to switch to the right. Unfortunately, she decided to also slow at the same time. We both came to an almost complete stop in the middle of traffic because within the 1 second we saw each other, we couldn't agree on…

Four Simple Steps to Success

by Chris cade That may sound overly simplistic, but it's true. Just four simple steps will guarantee success in any aspect of life. All you have to do is... Know what you really want (your goals) Take action towards your goals Notice what results you're getting Correct your course whenever you notice things are not working Of course like any great spiritual truth, knowing the steps is easy. Living them... not so much. For example: How do you figure out what you really want? And what if you're finding it difficult to take action? Or even worse, taking the wrong kinds of actions towards your goals? My personal experience is that the above steps correlate with very specific aspects of our development. Knowing your desires comes from self awareness Taking action happens naturally when self-sabotaging subconscious blockages have been removed Noticing results comes again from self awareness Correcting course happens naturally when self-sabotaging subconscious blockages have been removed In other words, you can sum up success into two basic principles: Cultivate self-awareness and remove subconscious blockages that cause you to sabotage your own best-efforts.

Aber die Musici bleiben besteh’n

Music Alone Shall Live (All Things Shall Perish) Himmel und Erde müssen vergeh'n, Aber die Musici, Aber die Musici, Aber die Musici bleiben besteh'n   All things shall perish from under the sky, Music alone shall live Music alone shall live Music alone shall live, never to die.   So before you wonder if I'm going crazy, the answer is no, no I'm not.  I've been thinking a LOT about the power of music and what an awesome motivator it can be.  THEN I heard Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac and I felt like I HAD to share the lyrics.  From there it was time to come up with a title for the blog post when this song I sang at a music festival popped into my head and I knew if I put the title in German, it would require some explanation.  Wow...long convoluted explanation to get to the blog post, lol. Don't Stop - Christine McVie. Sometimes, getting up and just getting out of bed can be the biggest struggle.  Who wants to leave their nice safe cozy haven to face who knows what?  And then there is the whole concept of morning.  It's absolutely evil to some…
