Sid Savara presents Positive Talk Creates Positive Action - How to Stop Talking Like a Loser posted at Sid Savara . com - Personal Development, Maximizing Productivity and Life Hacking, saying, "Every day we make many tiny decisions that affect our lives. One of the decisions we make almost unconsciously is the way we talk to ourselves, and the way our words affect our attitude and our action.

Spirituality

Chris Edgar presents Thoughts On Conscious Suffering posted at Purpose Power Coaching, saying, "The most effective inner work I’ve done on myself has been what’s often called “conscious suffering.” By this, I mean simply letting myself fully experience emotions I haven’t allowed myself to feel in the past. This kind of experience is rarely pleasant, but I find more calm and focus in my life — and the sensation I let myself experience becomes less agonizing — every time I do it."

CG Walters presents Into the Mist: Search for Meaning posted at Into the Mist, saying, "In our scramble for meaning and/or understanding, we should be certain not to underestimate the importance or the value of pure experience—that which sometimes cannot be captured in “meaning” and defies conscious understanding."
