Relax

     Sometimes, staying in the positive can be extremely difficult, especially when you are dealing with the various stresses from work, school, and life. Something that can really help ease your energy levels is meditation. Start with taking at least 5 minutes out of every day (preferably every morning or night), close your eyes, turn off your electronics, light a candle or two if you want, clear your mind, and just breathe. Breathe in the positivity, and breathe out the negativity. Tell yourself to only think positively and that you will not allow any ounce of negativity into your aura. Breathe, relax, and balance out your positive energy...
     As you begin to do this more and more, I promise you will begin to feel the stress find its exit from your life. 
     Also remember, energy is contagious, so always make it positive.

Throwback Thursday 11/7

TLC
   They were IT back then, and even now I jam them quite often...
   These are three of my favorite songs by them from back in the day, listen to them to get your taste of Throwback Thursday!

TLC will always have a special place, not only in the music industry, but in my heart and the souls of many others. No other can compare.

Outerwear for Men

 Just 3 of my favorite fall outerwear pieces...

Wool Casentino Peacoat by ISAIA
I love the red, the wool,
and the thick look of this peacoat.

Frej Krimsley Topcoat by Theory
The length of this topcoat is
everything! Sleek, sophisticated,
yet incredibly simple. Totally an
East Coast style.

Wool-Blend Peacoat by Versace
This piece is a classic.
A peacoat like this will never go out of style...
Especially for Versace, the signature medusa logo buttons
add that final, trendy touch.

A Lesson Learned

Learning How to Learn

     In the past, I have had a bad habit of disliking those who are like me or those who have qualities I wish I had. During the past few months, I have really been trying to work on that. I have tried to channel my energy into positive reactions rather than the negative. That starts with perception. What was wrong with how I was perceiving these people? I let my subconscious jealousy get in the way of my conscious view. So, I stepped back and realized something; I needed to cling to these people and embrace them, rather than run away from them and try to compete with them. Now, I see that there is nothing wrong with someone who is like me or better than me in certain areas of life. How could they possibly be doing something wrong if they aren't doing anything wrong? Does that make sense? I have been the one creating that negativity in my own mind, not these people. I have really taught myself to admire these people, rather than resent them. Of course, one always wants to surround themselves with good people, so situations like this should be no different. Good people are good people, and that's just that. I admire people who are like me and people who have qualities I wish I had and I use that to make myself a better person. Not only do I get to surround myself with amazing people, but I also get to stay motivated to be an amazing person myself. This may be totally confusing, I am writing this late at night- but I felt it was important enough to share with everyone because changing this negative trait of mine into a positive one has really allowed myself to be quite happier every day. Hopefully if you have a problem like this, you can teach yourself how to turn the negative into the positive and be an overall happier person as well.
