Wait.... That's another thread. 😎🤣😁
Ok... Cheers to chilly positivity!! 💙❄⛄
Yay , positive yay, ok I am tapped out
I love the mindset that we get to decide what to do with the happenings in our world. All around us, we can focus on what could be better but just as easily we could focus on what could be worse. We choose the direction of our focus. Looking at 2023 coming right up, I choose to be grateful... for so very many things.... not the least of these are the beautiful connections in this world of platonic touch, which I never would have encountered without the unexpected pain brought upon me. 💙❄⛄
Goodness its been an interesting start to the New Year!
Hello community.
I was scrolling through some forum threads and was reminded of this beautiful nugget from last year. This video is about happiness in our lives and the idea behind "anti-fragility" which is sort of like becoming stronger after dealing with painful things in our lives. This is something that our bodies deal with on multiple levels i.e. physically, emotionally etc.... (think about how much it hurts to work out/lift weights but it winds up actually making us stronger)
I also added a link to the picture from the Whole Being Institute. I know this thread is about "Positive Vibes" but I really feel like that is only PART of the solution.... Its creating all sorts of new things to think about for me. 🦋⛄😊

Sending out positive vibes to those who need it.
@PrettyLuv THAT SONG!!! hahhaha I love it. Just absolutely love it. 💕 Your new forum thread about Science vids gave me a thought.... but I thought I should post it here.... For reasons. 😊
WOW!! So.... a friend of mine shared these episodes with me from TikTok. (I feel like the neuro-science behind all of our human processes is so fascinating!!! I’ve been taking some college courses on Psychology and Philosophy and Sociology and all sorts of other fun stuff like History etc etc etc. and the brain........ WOW!! just WOW!!!!!!!!!)
This is a LOT of information.... Maybe it will be a research paper 🤣😁😂 Please scroll past if you must!!
These episodes speak to the idea that our brain can only choose to focus on a certain amount of things each day. Specifically about being a "lucky lady." Its applicable to a lot of situations though.

We can think of attention like a bank account, where spending on one thing leaves a little less in the account for spending on other things.
This has some business training aspects but it was fascinating for different reasons. If we have the ability to only retain 90% of information given to us in a week.... we can choose to focus and pay attention to the positive OR the negative, but it comes back to choice. OUR choice to shift our focus. https://www.learningguild.com/articles/1379
Everyone is always bragging about the power of the human brain. So if it is so darned powerful, why does it fail so often? Why do we forget 90 percent of what we learn within one week? From the perspective of a neuroscientist, this question speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding about the brain and about forgetting. Whereas most people think of forgetting as a failure of memory, “I forgot because my memory failed,” in professional neuroscience, forgetting is not thought of as a failure at all. Instead forgetting is thought of as a natural, adaptive, and even desirable activity.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT This is absolutely not a blanket statement that if you try hard enough you can find peace and joy. Please please please, hear me when I say this is only ONE tool in our toolbox that helps us to live in a whole-hearted way. Just like cuddling isn't a cure all.... neither is this. I know there are a lot of peeps out there in the cuddle verse who are struggling with invisible illness like depression and anxiety. I'm sending so many hugs out there.... Double check resources from our beautiful moderator @Sideon post if its something you or someone you love are struggling with. (((HUGS)))

And these.... I’m so thankful for our beautiful community that gives us an opportunity to share and connect here on this platform. 💚🦋✨
Too much positive . My soul is too dark and crusty to handle to absorb the vibes 🖤
@sillysassy 😌💗 the brain is fascinating. The glia, the grey matter of the brain once dismissed, were only just recently discovered to be even more important than the neurons. We’re not a bunch of electrical wires as the brain was previously made out to be. Our neural firing is actually directed by waves.
It’s all very fascinating when you delve into it. But the deeper you dive the more wary you become of wave-like interference which we’re surrounded by on the regular. Very interesting stuff indeed.
Love your “lottle” - so cute
@pmvines omgosh.... ANYONE who knows you knows better than to believe all the crusty comments. (but I won't tell!!)
maybe you are like all the brain grey matter that @PrettyLuv is talking about.... the BEST part but not the rainbows and glitter. 😂😁🤣
@PrettyLuv EXACTLY!!! So then you stay away from things that can cause icky stuff!!! So incredibly fascinating indeed.
But the deeper you dive the more wary you become of wave-like interference which we’re surrounded by on the regular.
And today... Tuesday positivity.... is just for @pmvines.... my MOST FAVORITE KIND OF DARKNESS!!
Besides.... We are ALL here and that is something I know we have in common. We're not that different you and me. 🥰😊💗
Hello to the cuddle-verse!! Hugs to ALL!! 😊 Just a shout out to everyone and thought a few Positive Vibes thrown out to the universe are never a bad idea. 💗🌼🌞
So excited for the day that marks the end of the week (even though I have to work on the weekend 😂)
Sending out all sorts of happiness vibes. Hope you all are finding some things to smile about today. 😊😊😊
Wow.... I really like the Friday vibes. 😊💗🦋🌈🔆🌸🌼😎
Oh my goodness I just saw this in a new light.
What a beautiful way to express autonomy/boundaries/kindness/and authentic wholehearted living. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Mr. Emerson.
Sending out positivity to those who need it.
Beautiful @sillysassy
A little beautiful for today…. Because everyone needs some fun subway penguins!!
Sometimes Thursdays feel like Christmas Eve (maybe because its Friday EVE!!💗)
Wishing all sorts of pixie dust and rainbows to everyone who wants it. I for one can't wait for all the fabulous coming up tomorrow and this weekend!!
I found this reading and it really resonated. Sometimes I wonder what it is that I am most scared of? Maybe change IS the scariest part?
I am scared of stubbing my toe. That really hurts.
hahahhahaha @BoomerSpooner oh my goodness. Yes. IT DOES HURT ALOT!!! hahahhahahaha Opening your foot to the elements has a CHANCE of bringing you some major major pain!!! Buyer beware indeed. 😊
If its your weekend or even if it isn't.... Hopefully you can let go of all the ugliness in your world just for a moment.... take a deep breath, maybe get yourself next to a tight hugger, and let it go. New York to LA.... forgedabowdit!!
@happybear @b0nfire @wellnessseeker 😊😊😊
I feel like it’s reasonable to say that since I’m sort of in the middle of the country.
Happy Friday y’all 😊☀️✨
Ok. And THIS…. So so so necessary today. My mom sent it to me and now it deserves an extra share because it’s so darn cute!!!
@sillysassy I usually just run around telling anyone who will listen to me "Happy Friyay" 😂
No for real tho, that gif is ADORABLE! Nothing beats the silly deal with it sunglasses
Hope you are having a wonderful day! Happy Friyay CC tribe!! ✨💕
@sillysassy ~ Omgoodness! That one from 5/11 totally got my feels flowing. Thank you you beautiful human!!
@quixotic_life YOU get all the feels flowing. Its fun to see your little turquoise dragon show up.
I had a moment today where I just felt truly seen. Truly known. Even if it was just for a few minutes. I never realized how delightful it would feel to shake off all of the "shoulds" that had stacked up in my life and just breathe in a few minutes of connecting with someone else in an authentic and vulnerable kind of way. "Shields down" is sort of what it felt like.
What was so extraordinary about today was that it wasn't the first time I had been with this person..... there have been other shared moments.... but when someone wants to take a moment to say "tell me about you" it leaves all sorts of twinkling and glowing afterward.
Do what you need to do. Do what you want to do. But maybe just maybe you will be able to bump into someone who says to your soul "put your shield down and tell me a lilttle about you" or maybe you will be the one doing the asking. Maybe in your work life. Maybe in the grocery. Maybe the cashier at your restaurant. Either way... I am grateful for this community trying to connect with other people in a real way.
There is beauty all around if we look for it... but all this extra good stuff feels like pixie dust and sprinkles.
Good morning-ish you CC Peeps!!
Just thinking about how grateful I am for the way this community helps me see things from a million different perspectives.
Lots of good vibes flowing today. 🌈🦋😊
I was chatting with a lovely human yesterday and I have just been thinking about how grateful I am to find and spend time with others who are interested in ”Daring Greatly” by being IN THE ARENA instead of just being a spectator in this thing called life. Sharing those experiences help me feel really connected.
