But what if we could practice positivity everyday? Oh wait, we can... Positivity, by definition, means the practice of being or tendency to be optimistic in attitude. To take this one step further (it is always good to take things step by step), attitude is a settled way of thinking or feeling about something. So what if, starting today, we can all shift our way of thinking and feeling to simply a positive one. Now, I know this may not be easy, due to all the things that are happening in the world. However, we are choosing to give our power, our life force energy, away every time we spin the negative or act out of fear. We cannot create from a space of fear. And when we create, we are fully immersed in the present moment, which is pure bliss. We must train our brains to reframe all the 'negatives' into 'positives'. This is where meditation and yoga helps connect the mind to the body, to catch these thoughts before they spiral out of control. So on this day, I just wanted to encourage you to try to keep things positive, try to see the brighter side of life. Go for a walk in nature, smile as the wind hits your face, and start drinking from a cup that is not only full, but overflowing. I promise that once you commit yourself to the practice, your life will radially shift from doomsday scrolling to dynamic possibilities and opportunities. Everything starts in the mind, so keep it optimistic. Things can always be worse, and they probably will continue to spiral, but you control how you show up in the world, and how you are either contributing to it positively or negatively. What charges are you offering and what changes do you need to make? We are all magnetic, therefore we need keep positively charging ourselves to be able to express that optimism in the world. Be the change you wish to see in the world...

Since we can all foresee this inevitable future, we may as well dress for the time we have left. Did you know that when you look good, you tend to feel better? Taking an interest in your physical appearance is a key to unlocking the magic you possess inside. It also tends to get you complimented, which is also a boost for your self esteem. If you look like shit, I would venture to say you might feel like shit, too. So not to be superficial or fake about anything, but take some pride in how you present yourself to the world. Don't give up on yourself. Dressing is one of the easiest ways to change your day for the better. And don't do it for vanity reasons. True Gods and Goddesses know that authenticity lies in being yourself, down to your core, and the way you can express that confidence through your clothing is what makes you shine bright. So do some soul searching, find a style that represents you and how you want to feel|look. Then embody and embrace your true nature and share that with the world. If you need an ego boost in the meantime, try the Foreseen Mesh shirt, available in a black or white power mesh that feels like a second skin that you'd want to be in- you can foresee yourself wearing it everywhere, everyday, with everything (think cost per wear). Or for those who may be more adventurous, check out the Opulent Vest, or well, dress, cape, tunic, shawl, accessory, etc. This piece transforms into at least 10 different combinations to make you feel comfortable in your own skin, however you may feel inside. The Magical Palazzo, also available in black, makes you look as if you are hovering the earth, with grace and ease. And to complete the look, raise your confidence with TAOS Fascinator, which can double as a shield, mat, or fan depending on your needs. Transformative clothing that changes with you. Oh, and they are all unisex. Got confidence? Find yourself first, and confidence follows naturally. And then you can positively transform the world around you by simply entering a room, embracing your presence as a gift for humanity to witness and observe. Be an example for others to see and celebrate.

If you are one of the many people who require positive changes in this world and are committed to being a light in the face of darkness, consider joining The Substitute Society, my underground revolution of peace and love. This is the silent removal of ourselves from an intolerable system designed to control us. I choose life. I choose freedom. I choose me, and I choose you too. But you are the only one who can make a difference in your life, and this world in which we all live, by making the necessary choices to stop supporting a corrupt system, stop spending countless hours digesting the news and social media, and start questioning everything that you have been told and seek the truth. Get centered and reconnected to your divine nature, where your true purpose lies. This happens naturally when you just breathe, which is what The Substitute is all about. The breath reminds us of the divine power we have within. Remember who you are, and why you are here. Make a positive contribution to your community, the world at large, and to yourself, first and foremost. Be kind to yourself and simply try to be more positive starting today. Simple lifestyle changes are all you need to feel better. And when more people start showing up and doing the work, the systems will crumble. Welcome to the revolution...
