What’s the best way to get something done? Visualize it? Or forge ahead and make it happen? Just to be clear, this post is not for people who are only interested in the latter. Yes, you can accomplish a lot by focusing solely on physical reality, but things get a lot more interesting when you [...]
The Power of Rogue Affirmations
What’s your favorite affirmation? Even if you don’t do affirmations, I’ll bet you still have one. Like when you’re having a great day and you say to yourself, My life is amazing. Or when you accomplish something significant and you think, I am awesome. And I keep getting awesomer. One of my favorite baseline affirmations [...]
How to Use Magic in Your Everyday Life
Remember the show Bewitched? Who was your favorite character? Was it Endora, the campy, bee-atchy elder witch? Or Darren – the guy who was so cool, he had to be played by two different actors over the course of the series? Or how about Gladys Kravitz, the nosy next-door neighbor who was always catching an [...]
How to Break Free of Limiting Beliefs
Have you ever been trapped by a limiting thought? I can’t do it. I’m too fat/stupid/smart/old/unworthy. For many of us, these thoughts prevent us from moving forward in our lives. And yet, sometimes, we’re able to break free of these restricting beliefs and let our freak flags fly. How do we break free? What’s the [...]
How I Pulled the Curtain on the Law of Attraction
What’s so great about the law of attraction? I mean, everybody’s talking about it these days. There are movies like “The Secret”. And books like “Ask and It Is Given.” But the law of attraction is just a law. And the world is full of laws. Like gravity. And stopping at red lights. What’s so special [...]
What to Do If You’re Not Manifesting What You Want
Have you ever been frustrated by affirmations and visualizations? Has your manifesting mojo ever been seriously stymied? You know the drill: You affirm it. You visualize it. You cut out little pictures from magazines and plaster them all over your face. Okay, not your face, but your wall. And your mirror. And the dashboard of [...]
My Front-Row Ticket to a Miracle
What happens after we die? Do we disappear into a void, never to be seen or heard from again? Or do we float down a tunnel of white light, reuniting with our spiritual heroes and loved ones? I have a few hunches about what happens after death. I think life goes on, though different than [...]
How to Make Your Life Better Than You Could Ever Imagine
When you think about your life, what comes to mind? Is it bursting at the seams with love and creativity? Or is it just limping along, looking for a place to rest its weary head? Or maybe it’s somewhere in between. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, my guess is that things could be better. [...]
Dominos and Donuts: The Truth About Change
There’s a common misconception about change, and it goes like this: We see our lives like a donut. Everything is fine, except for the hole in the middle. If only this hole could be filled, everything would be perfect. Maybe it’s our weight. Or our job. Or our partner. Whatever it is, we think that [...]
Why Affirmations Can Make Everything Worse. And What to Do About It.
Affirmations may seem all light and fluffy, but they’re not. In fact, I think they should come with a warning label. You heard me right. A warning label. Anyone who starts using affirmations – positive, present-tense statements designed to train one’s consciousness in a specific direction – should be cautioned about what they’re getting into. What would [...]
