an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident

“It was a moment of serendipity when I looked down and saw a twenty dollar bill on the ground.”

“Chelsea experienced serendipity when her friend had an extra ticket to EDC after she found they were sold out.”

noun

DEFINED AS:

the state of being awake and aware of one’s surroundings

the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world

“Consciousness remains the most puzzling mystery throughout time, being incredibly familiar yet the biggest conundrum human beings have faced.”

“During Tracy’s LSD trip, she felt as if her consciousness visited other dimensions.”

*SIDE NOTE*

Often times people confuse the words conscious and conscience. Have you ever wondered the difference between the two? Consciousness means having all three eyes open, being aware of this world and everything happening/surrounding you. Conscience simply means the awareness between right and wrong actions, e.i. “guilty conscience”. Stay conscious of what your conscience is telling you, my dear friends!

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Have you ever read something on Wikipedia and wondered who said it? With this amazing tool WhoColor, you might be able to find out! Highlighting the texts based on who wrote what, readers can more easily navigate through the information they’re reading and truly get to the bottom of what is being said. This is a great way to fact check information as well as see if it’s coming from a bias source! Facts are facts and we the people deserve the truth. Educate yourself, live free!

Hey internet friends. With the current 24-hour news cycle, it’s extremely difficult to navigate and prioritize information. In this video, I’ve arranged key events on a timeline with the proper context so that we can better interpret the events taking place all around us, and so that once the dust settles, we can remember the facts.

I highly recommend doing the meditation and the task at the beginning of the day, if possible. It changes the course of the day! But anytime is better than no time, so commit whenever works best for you.

*Task*

In a notebook, make a list of 50 people that have influenced your life. They can be both living and already departed people, your relatives, friends, teachers, coaches and celebrities, writers, musicians and personalities whom you do not necessarily know personally. Everyone who has influenced you, and contributed to your growth & development. The list must have at least 50 names. In the process of making a list, think about why you chose the person. What has changed in your life for the better? Move calmly and thoughtfully. Remember the best things about each person in the list and what they bring into your life. Trust in the process!

I recommend putting the phone in airplane/do not disturb mode at this time so that no one will interfere with you. Your list may be more than 50 people. But not less!

PHRASE OF THE DAY: * Today I behold the abundance that surrounds me *

This should also be written in your notebook and remembered during the day as often as possible.

*Meditation* The meditation can be done before or after the task. It’s up to you!

This is the Mantra you will mentally repeat during meditation: So Hum

Blessings to all!!!

Next thought, set an intention for the day. It feels so nice to have your mind set on something healthy and productive, something you can take your focus back to if things like anxiety pop up. Not gonna lie, some days I feel like being extremely lazy, or taking a mental day off and not carpe’n any diem. When that’s the case, I make my intention to be SUPER present, or to really focus on being myself and listening to what my heart says. It’s simple but I feel like it’s a constructive habit for my psyche rather than submitting to that blahhh feeling. 

Yoga doesn’t always sound like a good idea in the mornings. When that’s the case, stretching for ten minutes is better than nothing. Stretching for 10 seconds is better than nothing. And even if you still do nothing, the world will keep spinning anyways. 

Mornings are important, when you have a super ballin one it seems like the rest of the day flows so good. If you ever feel like giving up on the day 30 minutes in, start listing things your thankful for in your head. It’s really hard to be a cranky brat when you realize how BLESSED you are just to be alive and see the sunshine. Seriously, what if you lost your eyesight tomorrow? Our blessings go on and on and on and on 

Lastly, sometimes it’s fun to smile in your liver. In Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert shares with us the wisdom of a Balinese healer, Ketut Liyer. He tells her to smile the bad energy away, smile in your face, mind, and you guessed it, your liver. It’s a cute little meditation to do to guarantee a little posi vibes.

Everyone has the ability to build mental strength, but most people don’t know how. We spend a lot of time talking about physical strength and physical health, but much less time on mental strength and mental health. We can choose to perform exercises that will help us learn to regulate our thoughts, manage our emotions, and behave productively despite our circumstances – the 3 basic factors of mental strength. No matter what your goals are, building mental strength is the key to reaching your greatest potential.
