<h1>Do You Feel Disconnected from the World?</h1>
<p>Last week a series of horrible and vulgar events sent me spiraling downwards into a pool of pity.  In my eyes the world was against me and despite all my knowledge of the powers of manifestation, I couldn&#8217;t change my negative mood into a positive one.  I locked myself away from the rest of the world and stewed.</p>
<p>I tried counting my blessings, and there were dozens, thankfully, but this time that didn&#8217;t seem to help.  I planted flowers (they died), baked muffins, and got a new haircut.  Still&#8230;I was in the pits, disconnected from the rest of the world.</p>
<p>And then I remembered what Aristotle said:  “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”</p>
<p>How long was I going to keep up this habit of thinking negative thoughts?  The constant repetition would create&#8230;you got it&#8230;a habit.  So once I realized that this negative habit didn&#8217;t fit into my master plan, the decision to lose the negativity&#8211;to delve back into humanity&#8211;and to show my excellence again was an easy transition for me.  After all, that is my (and your) natural state.</p>
