I Believe ….. In the Power of our Beliefs

What do YOU believe in? Who are you at your core? Are your negative beliefs holding you back? What are beliefs? 

Beliefs are the core of who we are, what we do, and the success that we acquire. Claude M Bristol wrote a wonderful book entitled, The Magic of Believing. In his book he explains that there is one common strand woven throughout the many cultures and religions he investigated. All people, whether primitive or civilized, have shared a particular philosophy that is central to their culture. People of all ages have ascribed to the idea that if you believe that something will happen, it will take place. It is the power of belief that causes things to happen in our lives.

Most people define beliefs as inward convictions, a feeling of certainty about what something means. They are what you hold dear and are rooted deeply within. A belief is both mental and emotional. It is imbedded in the mind and in the heart. Continue reading

3 Positive ways to add Heart to your writing ~ Heart Centered Blogging

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”  ~William Wordsworth

As a writer and blogger, I often feel like there is a deadline somewhere I need reach successfully. In the beginning when I began to take my writing seriously, I often would write for the sake of writing, for the sake of a deadline. I have to admit those were my worst articles ever! Those articles would be so technical and cold.

When I was in the 8th grade, my English professor would often kick me out of class for being way too talkitive. I’ve mentioned before, my nickname all through high school was chatterbox ;) I loved it too! Although I was never really in class during my english lectures, I scored the highest in my english exams. Seeing this happen for two consecutive years, my English professor sat me down and had a chat with me. He said in his stern but nurturing voice, “You can write! One day I see you becoming a writer and having great impact but only if you focus. Channelize your energy little girl and you will be a force to reckon with. Dont get caught up in the hormones and throw your talent to the dogs.” Continue reading

I’m a positive thinker. Nothing phases me nor do I allow anything to suck my mojo.

It seems like I have been nurturing Positive Provocations forever, like it was always meant to be. An attachment, a love, a feeling for this blog and all its beautiful readers is difficult for me to put into words. I’m overjoyed and swimming in gratitude for all the blessings this Positive Provocations community has brought me. Continue reading

Are You Joyfully Nurturing Your Complete Being?

“Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.” ~Max Ehrmann

In our rush to meet the daily obligations of work, family, and social life, we tend to overlook our own needs. As a result, we feel exhausted to the point of emptiness. What’s missing is a relationship with ourselves. We need time to get to know ourselves, time to joyfully nurture our spirits, and time to create.
