Does the law of attraction really fit in with losing or disidentifying from the ego? How can the two come together in everyday life?
Hopefully this article can shed some light…
Regretting Seeing My Ex-Boyfriend
I have one more, unrelated, question for you that has to do with regrets and making the same mistake over and over. Specifically, I am making the mistake of getting together with my ex even though I know he does not want anything serious. Even though every time I see him it hurts after, I never seem to think about it in the moment…
How To Feel More Confident
Hi Adam!
Can you do a post on insecurity? I am a female and constantly bombarded with pictures of models on social media and feel so worthless after. Even if I have a confident moment, it all goes downhill when I see someone my mind thinks looks better and it’s really hard to pull out of it when that happens.
Thank you!

Dealing With Feelings Of Rejection
I recently spent some time with my husband's family to attend a family event. I had some difficulty with one of his close family members. During our time together she kept me out of the conversation as if I was invisible, she never looked in my direction to totally ignored me.
How do I avoid feeling rejected and emotionally depleted in her company?
The Gratitude Hack
Feeling gratitude or appreciation can feel hard if you are focused on something you don't want. Hopefully this video can help to show that gratitude can be easier to experience when we no longer demand an object for it at first...
The gratitude hack is to not demand a reason to feel grateful, and instead focus on the unconditional feeling…
Do You Need Resistance?
The Need To Be Liked
A few weeks ago I shared a few words on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. They said:
"Think about how much you’ll care what others think of you when you’re dead, or when they’re dead. Then carry on."
If we are liked, we tend to feel safer. We feel as if we are a more valuable part of a group, and if we are more valuable, we are less likely to be in danger…
Am I Making Spiritual Progress?
“My question is, I have overcome a lot from addiction, anxiety, self esteem and I owe it all to Buddhism and my practice of almost three years. As I approach my 3rd soberthday. I kind of feel like I read too many Buddhist books and that though I have come so far, I really haven't gotten anywhere, is that weird? In the midst of feeling so much better and waking up a little. I wonder if I've gotten anywhere at all. Your thoughts, please and thank you.”
Forgiving Your Own Mind
The Creative Mind vs Presence
Sometimes when I talk with people during one-to-ones, there can be a certain "spiritual conditioning" that ends up suppressing natural creative thoughts or desires. It's good to feel good. There are no downsides when it all comes from within...
The creative mind is an expression of presence.

Not Resisting Emotions Or Thinking Positively?
For example, letting yourself feel annoyed is far more helpful than hating yourself for feeling annoyed or fighting your own annoyance. If we give ourselves permission to feel however we are feeling rather than condemning the feelings, then suddenly there is some more space, the feelings don't seem quite so harsh or heavy, and the suffering decreases….
A Question On Anxiety
Easing Resistance
"Hey Adam, I am more aware of my own body than I ever was before. However, it somehow scares me. I discover unpleasantness that I did not even know existed. For example, as I come to the present, I feel pain and I hear this noise in my head (a tinnitus) ... It almost feels as if I am creating all this myself, maybe by becoming aware but being scared/resistant to what is. Is that possible? I am somehow disappointed in myself when I realise that I am not accepting the unpleasant sensations..."
