Shiny Object Syndrome in ALOVEDLIFE Volume 1

Do you spend your time and energy on new and trendy ideas but never stick with them? If so, you may have Shiny Object Syndrome.

“Are you embodying your highest and greatest purpose? Are you living in harmony with your desires? Or does it feel like you’re constantly adjusting your compass and always on the outside of that elusive ‘flow’ feeling the self-help experts tell us to find?

Even when we have a sense of our highest and greatest purpose and make decisions that bring us closer to it, we still can get sidetracked. We run from our highest purpose for all sorts of reasons: fear of failure, fear of success, fear of commitment, fear of change. You name it. But one piece of this puzzle that knowledge can help us avoid is Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS).”

Read “Shiny Object Syndrome: Clear the Path to Your Higher Purpose” by Lisa Capri, exclusively in ALOVEDLIFE volume 1, a timeless bookazine by Absolute Love Publishing featuring stories on Intentional Living, Elevated Action, Conscious Connection, and Sacred Self Care.

Have you ever wondered if your toes could be connected to your anxiety woes?

“From feeling like a Nervous Nellie to suffering full-fledged panic attacks, anxiety leaves a lot of us on pins and needles. Read on to learn about an effective natural remedy that simply involves some TLC for your toes.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety affects roughly 40 million American adults, with women being twice as likely as men to have symptoms. Yet there’s a simple but powerful ‘anxiety antidote’ you’ve likely never heard of that’s rooted in ancient Asian wisdom. It involves analyzing the shape and structure of your toes and feet, and it can predict how prone you may be to experiencing anxiety in the first place.”

Connect In Real Life in ALOVEDLIFE Volume 3

Does the recent rise in social media cause you to struggle with in-person connections? 

“In today’s technologically driven world, it seems we’re constantly plugged in, turned on, and connected to others in our neighborhoods and around the world. But are we? Ask almost anyone if they truly feel connected to others, and the answer is likely to be hazy at best.

Why is that? Perhaps it’s as simple as this: Those polished pictures and self-edited posts just don’t feel real.

We are social beings who need genuine connection — not just any connection. Pings, likes, and tweets aside, social media just doesn’t feel authentic to most of us. We need more.”

Read “Connect In Real Life: Start An In-Person Share Group” by Denise Thompson, exclusively in ALOVEDLIFE Volume 3, a timeless bookazine by Absolute Love Publishing featuring stories on Intentional Living, Elevated Action, Conscious Connection, and Sacred Self Care.

Manifesting through Affirmations in ALOVEDLIFE Volume 1

Have you ever heard of manifesting through affirmations?

“I’m going to let you in on a secret. The main reason people suffer from a lack of money or love or health in their lives is that they do not value themselves – not really, not when you get down into those little crevices where doubts and criticisms live.

We believe we have made too many mistakes. We believe everyone else is doing things so much better. We think our flaws (hidden as we may keep them) make us unworthy of love or acceptance or a happy life. We think our successes aren’t as valid as they really are; we make excuses for how we were able to win rather than claim our success outright.”

Learn about manifesting in “Manifesting through Affirmations” by Caroline A. Shearer, exclusively in ALOVEDLIFE volume 1, a timeless bookazine by Absolute Love Publishing featuring stories on Intentional Living, Elevated Action, Conscious Connection, and Sacred Self Care.

Positive Self-Talk in ALOVEDLIFE Volume 2

Did you know that positive self-talk can change your body?

“Perhaps you’ve made a decision to become healthier. Or to lose weight. Maybe you start each New Year or birthday year with big dreams and goals to be your best self. But, despite your best intentions, eventually, you make a mistake, trend backward, or give up the goal. What happens then?

Unfortunately, many people resort to negative self-talk. While a tough-love approach might help some situations temporarily, often our self-talk crosses the line into thoughts that bring us down and create further conflict in our bodies, minds, and souls.”

Learn how you can use self-talk to boost your positivity in “How Positive Self-Talk Can Change Your Body” by Michelle Hastie, exclusively in ALOVEDLIFE volume 2, an evergreen book-magazine by Absolute Love Publishing featuring stories on Intentional Living, Elevated Action, Conscious Connection, and Sacred Self Care.

Animal Prints on My Soul Excerpt:

When Fate Brings You Fur Kids by Jean Brannon

Ah, that little word, “yes.” I knew if I said it, I was adding a whole new sideshow to the three-ring circus taking center stage in my life. I mean, I’d recently moved. Started a business venture. Begun working on a fixer-upper that was nearly beyond fixing. And I’d been writing, deliriously absorbed in a sequel that kept pulling me into another world for hours at a time, all while getting the two shelter dogs I already called “fur family” comfortable in still-unfamiliar territory.

“It could be fun,” Charlie suggested. He said it so cheerfully. So convincingly.

“And it could be what finally makes me go crazy,” I sighed.

“You know, they’re a bonded pair,” he continued, sensing me weakening. “Maybe three months old. Brother and sister. They go to sleep hugging each other.”

“Oh, dear.” My resolve crumbled further as he sent me the first picture. And as he began telling me what he knew about the quiet boy and his scruffy sister with one blue eye who seemed to have been on a mission for weeks to reach me.

Oh dear, indeed.
