Noticing your Pre-programmed Reactions

It is so easy to just go through life reacting to things. Even when we strive for awareness and gratitude, our pre-programming can easily slip in and cause reactions without thought. But noticing when this happens can be just another chance to raise your awareness.

The Power of Your Mind

We often talk of how we are creating our reality through our thoughts, words, and actions. Sometimes this concept can be hard to grasp. Let’s look at an experiment where this fact is demonstrated clearly.

Our Tendency to Know Everything

As humans, we have a tendency to want to know things. Our egos don’t like to not know, and so we often make things up in the absence of actually knowing what is true. Here is an example.

Relearning How to Imagine

When we are children, the art of imagining comes naturally. As adults, we are usually taught that imagining is irresponsible or a waste of time. But what if it isn’t?

Accepting What Is

If there is something about your current circumstances you don’t like, it can seem counterintuitive to be told to accept it. However, this practice is actually one of the most important things you can do if you’re trying to improve your life.

Being in the Moment

Have you ever felt like you were “in the moment?” A time when you are so caught up in something you are doing or experiencing that you are fully present to that moment. If so, you’ve probably felt how magical that can be. Is this something you can cultivate in your life?

Examining Your Motivations

It can be very enlightening to deeply consider what motivates you to do things in your life. The core question is whether you are motivated from a place of love or one of fear.

Expanding Appreciation

You are probably aware that spending time practicing gratitude can have major benefits on your well-being. Here is a technique that you can use to go deeper into this practice any time.

Setting Intentions

Setting intentions can be very valuable in ways you might not expect.

Looking for everyday miracles

What is a miracle? Are they rare events that only happen to a few special people? Or can you change your mindset to start to see miracles everywhere?
