DailyOM: Promoting the Positive

Promoting the Positive
Negative Pull

If you find your thoughts and conversations stuck in a negative pattern, enlist others to break the habit together.


Sometimes we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. Not everyone fully understands the power our thoughts and words have, or even if they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of complaining and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without lapsing into those old habits. However, we always have the option not to participate in negativity or to find a way to influence the situation in a positive direction. In the right company, you may even be able to directly acknowledge the fact that things have taken a negative turn, thus freeing yourself and others from the negative pull.

Not everyone will respond to your cues, and there's no need to become overly attached to the idea of changing other people, because people have to choose for themselves how they will be in the world. Many people choose negativity because it is familiar to them and feels safe. It is important to give people the space to find their own way, but you can always set an example, subtly representing the power of being positive. At times you may interject an affirmative statement into the conversation, and at others you may simply change the subject. You may also simply withdraw your energy and presence, which also makes a subtle statement. If you feel comfortable enough with somebody that is always negative, perhaps you can have an honest conversation with them; after all, awareness is the first step to change.

A powerful way to free yourself from the negative pull is to enlist allies who are similarly minded. You and a friend, coworker, or family member may agree to work together to continually shift the energy in a situation in a positive direction. The power of two people working to promote the positive is exponentially greater than one person working on their own. As you and your allies work together to lift the energy around you, you will be amazed to see how quickly the positive pull begins to draw people into its orbit, freeing one mind after another from negativity into light.

    DailyOM: Capturing the Thrill

    Capturing the Thrill
    Do What Excites You

    Life is too short to stay in boredom, do something today that excites you and renews your outlook on life.


    Each human life has the potential to be dramatic, thrilling, and awe-inspiring. Our lives are, in truth, ours to design. Each day, we make choices that influence the character of our experiences, and our decisions determine whether our paths are rousing or tedious, breathtaking or tiresome. We can create an exciting life by simply doing what excites us whenever the opportunity presents itself. Your passions may ebb and flow, and what excites you one year may not excite you the next, but when you make excitement a regular part of your existence, life becomes more fun and more fulfilling.

    If you are somebody that tends to live practically, excitement may overwhelm you at first. To ease the anxiety that prevents you from incorporating all that you find exciting into your life, acknowledge that you are alive right now in this time and every moment matters. When you choose to do more of what excites you, even if your choices requires you to make certain sacrifices, your daily life will soon be imbued with exhilaration, pleasure, and optimistic anticipation.

    To understand what excites you, you may need to observe and ponder your reaction to the activities, events, circumstances, and concepts that make up your life. What makes your pulse race, what makes you want to get out of your chair and take action? Try to avoid getting too wrapped up in life's details; their tedium may cause you to plod through your existence unaware of prospective excitement. Once you have created a substantial list of what excites you, find ways to integrate each item into your routine. You will soon find yourself riding a wave of excitement that lifts you up and makes life truly worth living. What excites you in your life?

    21 Day Consciousness Cleanse & 2 new courses!

    Dear DailyOM Friend,

    We're honored to share with you four new on-line courses on DailyOM this week:

  • 21 Day Consciousness Cleanse - The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse is a lifestyle, a holy journey into the most sacred and profound parts of yourself. To deepen this process, Debbie Ford has joined with DailyOM to offer you this accessible, practical and delicious Companion Course to ensure your success. In this Companion Course, you will be emailed daily visualizations recorded by Debbie herself to accompany each day of the Cleanse. These recordings, not found anywhere else, will help you clear your inner world so that you achieve the maximum impact of the Cleanse by softening your internal world and letting go of whatever no longer serves you. You will also receive the official workbook questions with each course lesson. more

  • How to Garden with Intention - Have you been to other people's gardens that have a magical quality about them, but can't seem to create it in your own? Perhaps you feel like you're going through the motions of gardening without getting as much enjoyment as you'd like. Or, maybe your garden feels as if it belongs to someone else. This course by Lois J. de Vries is a gardener-focused course designed to bring more meaning to your gardening experience. It can help you make better choices that result in a personal space that is not only beautiful and healthy, but also provides a sanctuary from the world that speaks to your soul.

  • Divine Nourishment through Seasonal Cooking - Many of us know the importance of taking care of our bodies. We also know it is important to care for our Earth. In a complicated world that has not supported the health of either the task may seem rather daunting. We can live and nourish ourselves in a way that supports not only the health of our bodies, and the Earth, but our human journey of evolution. This course from Mary Lane is designed to acquaint you with the rhythm and flow of the Earth's wisdom through our relationship with nourishment. The Taoists are one of many ancient cultures who embodied their oneness with nature and created a way of life to support it. Embrace the essential, energetic qualities reflected in each season and in your own physical, emotional and spiritual health. more!
