Advice to let go to grow, heal, or find peace would meet my younger self with utter defiance. Was it that these gurus had nothing bad happen to them or lived in some Pollyannaish existence?

Use Free Thinking For Empowered Living
As the new year begins, commitment to free thinking sets the tone for empowered changes. An open mind without the limitations of belief transforms perceptions. January is the month of resolutions, new beginnings, and renewed dedication to maintaining healthy habits. Many of us are returning to self-care routines and personal goals that got lost somewhere between the spiked eggnog and second helpings of our favorite holiday meal. Some are still there among the missing or hibernating. Free thinking challenges us to reevaluate our convictions and shows us there’s no one way to live right. It also helps us to get …
Conscious Creation From What’s Foul
Conscious creation requires a look beyond the reality we see so we may envision the future we aspire to build.

Don’t fight what you deem foul. Conscious creation begins with the desire to actualize something new. Stop bracing in fear and start upgrading …
Be Mindful Within a Distracted World & Live Better
To be mindful instead of mind-full, reactive, or mentally absent is a worthwhile challenge. A busy world has people frenzied, immersed in their tasks, and preoccupied with their next assignments. We all get wrapped up in our doings and miss a lot. Prioritize slowing down to foster a way of being that enriches meaningful living. To be mindful is to taste your food, notice when your friend gets a haircut, or that the mountain laurel on your street has more blooms than last season. Present within our senses, we become conscious of the beauty of simplicity regardless of the complexities …

Spring Clean A Path To Freedom
Where do we begin our path to freedom? While the false front suggests that cleaning up the outside will fix your woes, true liberation is not an external process. Clean the baseboards, wash the walls, and, yes, eliminate the scuzzy food particles that take up residence, and grow between your stovetop and counter to get your inner energy stirring. It will not free you, however, from the self-imposed chains that bind you. No amount of outer tidying purifies the inward contaminants of distorted thinking and harbored emotions. Human nature compels us to set right what we deem disagreeable or foul. …
Sign of Intelligence? Perception vs Truth
A sign of intelligence may reveal itself as something much different from mental ability. At times, it is masked behind disorganization, impulsivity, or emotionality. We have measures to evaluate various types of intellect and attribute academic success as a sign of intelligence. While these indicators lend some credence, a deeper look suggests one’s observation provides only a narrow scope of a person’s ability to gain and apply knowledge. A more significant sign of intelligence is our ability to look beyond this, and instead of reducing a person to a perception, point of view, or belief, honor the complexity of each …
