Today I thought about...

Today I thought about the significance of self-confidence and self-esteem in my life. There is a correlation between these two concepts and the results in our lives. Take some time to assess and ask yourself what roles they play in your own life. Continue on your path of self-awareness. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about using digital distraction as a beneficial tool. Many of us get distracted from a task or what is in front of us by notifications on digital devices. How can we use these distractions as a tool? Focused breathing is a magnificent way to improve self-control and I decided to use digital notifications as a prompt to take three deep breaths. We have way more influence over ourselves than we have been taught to believe. Digital Distraction - A situation where one is distracted by a technology device (e.g., smartphone, laptop, tablet) while engaging in another activity. Pavlov's Dogs Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the significance of the words we use. Words are an indication of our beliefs about ourselves. They lend to our behaviors which influence our perceived outcomes. Choose to use words that are indicative of the magnificent individual you already are. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about one's responsibility for their happiness. There are so many ways we can choose to be happy for ourselves. Happiness begins from within, projects out, and is attracted back. YOU are responsible for your happiness. The Platters - Only You (And You Alone) Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about how we're all just children in adult bodies. When we realize that we are operating off of the basic childhood premise of longing to be seen and heard we recognize that everyone else is operating off of the same tenet. No one is intentionally out to trigger another individual, on a deep level. The same kindness we give to a baby or toddler is the same kindness we can give to ourselves and others. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the concept, "the ocean is the Wave and the wave is the ocean". We are all on our own singularly unique journeys and also connected in the human journey. We are so hard on ourselves and do not realize we are all here together and can help one another. Nothing moves without people so treat yourself with love and you will treat others with love. You will begin to see the change right in front of your eyes. Emily Flecther Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the philosophy, gifted by Bruce Lee, be as water. Water is fluid and flows. We have every opportunity to move along our journeys with the same fluidity as water when we choose to accept ourselves and the things we cannot change. Bruce Lee - Be As Water My Friend Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the concept of embracing life's obstacles as a pathway to desired change...the obstacle is the way. Whatever it is that you truly desire to change is on the other side of some form of a trial/challenge. You CAN triumph! The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about seeing beauty in all things. All it takes is a moment to stop, slow down, and witness. SWV - Rain In the spirit of connection and positive growth I can be contacted via ttitapodcast@gmail.com Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the importance of each moment. The future does not exist and the past is already gone therefore all we have is this very moment. Embrace this moment and experience it as fully as possible because it is all that there is. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the concept of every life situation being for you. If everything is for you then there is a constant opportunity for growth and expansion, which is the natural state of direction for all things. Ask yourself in a life situation, "how is this for me...?" Coldplay - Adventure of a Lifetime Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the acceptance and embracing of change. Change is inevitable and the very movement of every moment. Embracing change allows us to reliquish control and just BE our true selves. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about using the question, what if I contemplated death more often? The contemplation of death can be used as a tool for living more fully and letting go of so much that weighs us down. The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer Disney+ series "WHAT IF...?" Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the question, "Where in the world am I?" The premise behind this question is to ask yourself if you're in the past, present, or future, in your mind. There are many ways to bring oneself into the present moment and one of those gateways is by coming to awareness within your body through your five senses. School Of Practical Philosophy Enjoy the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about a song, Remedy by Surfaces, and how it just shifts my energy, focus, and vibrations right into a positive space. Not only are the lyrics powerful reminders but it's another example of how muisc can be used to shift one's state. Love this song! Thanks @surfacesmusic

Today I thought about how we're all dealing with feelings of inadequacy to some extend or degree. Since we are all dealing with this situation it means we are all going through the same thing, therefore we are actually perfect already. Continue to remind yourself that you are enough, because it is the truth! Cheers! Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the journey of continuous self-acceptance and how it leads to freedom. The more we continue to accept every facet of ourselves, the more inner-love, inner-peace, and inner-joy we settle into. The moment you realize that you're less concerned with external approval is the moment things have shifted for you. Step into your liberation! The fruit of negative feelings is endless ignorance and suffering. Patanjali, Yoga Sutras II.34 Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the realization and perspective of being just fine. In many life situations, in spite of the feelings that may arise, we have the choice to see and recognize that we are actually ok. Ask yourself in that moment, am I actually ok and you may surprise yourself with the truth. Experiment and check out Jhené Aiko's Trigger Protection Mantra Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about ageism and the fearful negative stigma of becoming old. We are not defined by the limiting ideas entertained when it comes to getting older. It's only if you concede to those beliefs that your existence will be so. You can always learn new things and remain full of life if you choose to. Ageism is just another Brule. Elisa Goodkind @StyleLikeU Embrace the journey...this is the way.

Today I thought about the reason we get upset or triggered in many life situations and how to manage through by acceptance of what we can not control. The main premise is that it takes control to relinquish control. It's that prayer, "...grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference." Think about it in this context. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about just how much more influence we hold in our own existence and the more we tap into that the more we determine how our lives unfold. Remember Uncle Ben from Spiderman? Well flip his message to Peter Parker around to, "With great responsibility comes great power." Thanks for another great one Jim Kwik! With You by Eric Essebag feat. Edson Sean & Yurek Akbar Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the three options available to choose from when faced with a life situation that's intolerable or makes us unhappy. In Eckhart Tolle's The Power Of Now he shares the three options; remove yourself from it, change it, or accept it totally. It's actually very liberating to accept the things you cannot change. That's something we've heard time and time again. Why not give it a go...? The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about how often we blindly accept beliefs without really questioning them. Who decided a curse word is a curse word? Why is it ok to say oh god in sex but outside of that context it's calling his name in vain? Why do we constantly look for an outside source to blame for why we behave a certain way? Just some examples. Asking the right questions lead to a doorway of answers and enlightenment. Keep questioning! Evanescence - Blind Belief Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the idea of choosing to focus on positivity, the flowers, rather than focusing on negativity, the weeds. What you give your attention to grows so why not choose to water the flowers and not the weeds...? Check out Emily Fletcher Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about the application of a particular concept and how it correlates to so many facets of our functionality in this life journey. That concept, coined by Jim Kwik the brain coach, is Knowledge x Action = Power. It's not enough for us to simply know, we must take action in order to impart real change. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Today I thought about how many times I've choosen to be complacent and not take action to change my life or simply take a chance and see what can happen. We allow unreal fears to dictate something as simple as speaking to another individual. When it's all said and done we are ok no matter what so why not take a chance on a possible "yes" outcome in your life...? Embrace the journey...this is the way Michael Jackson - Off The Wall Stokley - Cross The Line

Today I thought about just how powerful music is and how we can choose to use it as a prescription medication. Simply hearing a phrase or a sentence in a song can shift your state. We have the ability to experiment with what songs bring us into positivity because we know what music makes us feel good. Play around with the music in your life and see what it does for you. Embrace the journey...this is the way Sevdaliza - Hero

Today I thought about how much unnecessary pressure we can place on ourselves at times (feelings of inadequacy). Seeking some type of outward validation or acceptance for something that we already are. We are actually love born and because of that we are always enough. Embrace the journey...this is the way

Yes, we've heard it before, "take a breath." So why not experiment with actually practicing this tool...? Today I thought about how simple and powerful taking a breath can be in any particular moment. Give it a shot and see what happens. Enjoy the journey...this is the way.

Today I thought about a specific question. "If I knew my life journey was ending tomorrow would I be ok with the way I'm choosing to live my life moment by moment?" Sia - Miracle (Lyrics) Sia - Courage To Change (Lyrics)
