Brummet's Conscious Blog

 * Today's article was written by Dr. Kate Siner -- Fall In Love With Your Life --  Our lives are filled with lots of repetition and routine. It's common for many of us feel numb and bored from time to time. Perhaps you have asked yourself questions like these: Why has there been little change in my life over the past weeks or months? Why is it that I'm no longer excited by my relationship? Or, why to I now dread my child's birth when only a year ago I yearned for his/her arrival? Somewhere along the way we came to believe that happiness was a place we were destined and entitled to arrive. We also came to believe that happiness came with having everything we want. These mistaken beliefs can really mislead us. If we aren't feeling happy or we're not getting what we want, we tend to feel like something is wrong. But, nothing is wrong with your life and nothing is wrong with you. To really access the marrow of life we need to learn some s...

-- Quote of the Day --  "As we may miss the joy of life by dwelling on the past, so we miss the possibilities of the present if we expect life’s best days to be in the future. The good days are now." ~ Lionel Whiston  -- Living Life Today --  Today's quote has some importance in my life... After the suicide of my mom and step-dad, the loss of other family members and friends, witnessing illness and age-related emotional and physical woes... I realized that today is my golden moment, and to stop working and staking my hopes on some day in the future that may never come.  Taking time to live : to enjoy nature, to spend time with our fur-kids and playing in the garden, to leave a positive legacy every single day, to embrace the moment. One has to find a balance here of course because our lives, or our capacity to really live our lives, may not end tomorrow... we might reach retirement in good health, we might live a long time...

-- Quote of the Day --  “Our consciousness is always creating - so if you are beating yourself up if you are hard on yourself, giving things away – or feeling that unless you do more (or suffer) you are not get what you need …and this shows that you have a sense of lack, and showing that you are not valuing yourself. …It is so difficult to get out of this because that energy doesn’t allow for positive thinking. ..It is a habit really – this became your way of interpreting the world. It becomes your go-to reaction as to why you don’t have what you want. – So give it space, and consider if it is really true, and what are the other possibilities that might be true. It is going to take some effort. But as you open up the possibility of other explanations then you’ll realize that maybe your thoughts are not true.” ~ Nat Couropmitree Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode titled: Conscious Creation for Business Owners  ...

-- Quote of the Day --  "I believe a man is born first unto himself for the happy developing of himself - The world is a nursery and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted. Some people seem to exist thus right to the end.  But most are born again upon entering manhood;  they are born to 'humanity' - to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the multitudes." ~ DH Lawrence -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio -- Violence in society, anger in the classroom, bullying in the fields...
