Positive Psychology and the Law of Attraction aren't synonymous though the latter has been allowed to flow into the former. Both truthfully declare that any person will make their situations better if they are optimistic and persistant.
However, Positive Psychology is a lifestyle that is about making the best of a situation, believing in a better outcome when warranted, and always helping others to do the same when one is able. The Law of Attraction is a doctrine which is explicitly about those things yet it is a subliminally shaming one as well. After all, an aspect of the philsophy is that those who strived and believed with every fiber of their being but couldn't rise above the social nor the economical gutters are primarily at fault because "if those poor souls fully believed in acquiring good entities than they would have received them." Many who have faith in The Law of Attraction are amongst the most loving souls yet the philosophy itself is a covertly self-righteous one. ⭐⭐⭐ - Photograph by leninscape. - Photo enhanced by C.A.

I finally watched Mudbound and though I often weep during tragic movie scenes, none have caused me to sob in quite some time like the ones in this film; especially since it contains sequences which so effectively reflect true life tragedies along with segments of naturalistic camaraderie.
I haven't read the book that this movie was adapted from yet watching this film was like experiencing a novel; so literary is its screenplay. Every actor will convince you that their characters are real life people; so fine was the rope between soulless stoicism and melodramatic passion that they winningly walked upon. The direction will wrap you in the story without drawing attention to itself; so successful was the director in conducting the enhancement of the film's themes without straying away from realism. Mudbound may seem slowly paced in the beginning yet it does pay off. This mindfully crafted film isn't only a masterpiece but one that needs to be experienced by everyone. I'd wager that many would contend that nightmares aren't the worst type of dreams.
Those fantastical cities within the multiverse of dreams where the distance between faraway companions disintegrates, where there is not merely correction but affection that overrules poor decisions, and where no one can possibly be the least loved because there are no levels to love? Truly, most of us have experienced dreams such as these and all would likely agree that they are the best type of visits into the fantastical dimensions...when they are being experienced. What makes those dreams the most atrocious for those who can't seem to overcome being the tag-alongs of social groups is that when they awaken, they realize that it wasn't reality. Oh, if only they and those in their group knew, as well as felt, their exceptional worth. ⭐⭐⭐ - Written by C.A. Nicholas - Photograph by karosieben. - Photo enhanced by C.A. Nicholas. I think many artists would agree that the most dreaded type of review is one that sums up their work as "meh."
Like positive reviews, negative reviews can lead an artist into fame even if it is of a different sort. Also, an art piece can be deemed as so atrocious that it is brilliantly entertaining even if it is in all the unintentional ways. So-so reviews often mean that a project will be relegated into the realm of the forgotten. Yet receiving a "meh" review can compel an artist to strive harder for betterment...or it can persuade one to loosen up to produce something "so awful that it's amazing." ⭐⭐⭐ - Written by C.A.

Do you feel lonely in a cheerful group even if it consists of your friends or family, particularly since you want to engage in conversations yet it is difficult for you to do so? Perhaps that doesn't apply to you but someone whom you know. Either way, may my advice touch your heart and the souls of all you know.
Before I delve into helpful techniques, I must affirm that you are an amazing soul who is worthy of affection and if anyone believes otherwise then they are just blind to your magnificence. Keep in mind that those who truly care about you rightfully adore you just as much as those with whom conversation seems to smoothly flow. Dear soul, if it turns out that you haven't had the privilege of finding each other, strive on because oh you will. Now here is my guidance on how to more easily engage in conversation... 💡Attentively listen to those in your group. Let whoever is speaking know that you value them by looking directly at them. Also, be brave enough to look directly into their eyes from time-to-time. Please don't stare into their eyes though, unless you get an affirmation to do so; otherwise you may seem intimidating. 💡Even if there are many interruptions within the group conversation don't embarrass those who butt in. Just attentively listen to the interrupters and wait until they finish their pre-mature side stories. Make an attempt to speak to them privately afterwards (don't worry, coversations are generally easier when there are less people), and encourage them to wait their turn to talk next time. After all, though it may be rude to interrupt, people may interject because they fear that they may not be heard. Besides, interruptions may not be seen as rude but as subconsciously taking up the torch that the original speaker is willing to pass on. It all depends on the type of conversation, the environment which it takes place in, and the group dynamic. Either way, when a break arrives in the group conversation, turn to the initiator of each conversation and say something as simple as "what were you saying?" This will allow everyone amongst you to make their voice heard. 💡Give truthful and brief affirmations to whoever is leading the conversation at the time such as "Wow, that's amazing", "I'm so happy for you", or "I've never gone through that but my heart breaks for you". ★★However, don't encourage anyone if they're glorifying a bad life decision (such as an addiction). In a private conversation and in a loving manner, persuade them to change that aspect of their life and provide support if you are able. Emphasize that you love them no matter what and attentively listen to them. If they directly endanger the lives of others or themselves then immediately get help for others' sake as much as theirs.★★ 💡Ask simple questions, when appropriate, such as "What was the weather like when you...?", "How was your experience compared to...?", and "Were you more nervous or excited when...?" Asking questions can let the lead speaker know that you are paying attention and it helps keep the conversation engaging for all. ⭐⭐⭐ - Written by C.A.
