Who Is Your Perfect Partner Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus’ love style: a Taurean has a love of sensuality; they will deeply appreciate intimate times shared with their partner.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

Virgo’s love style: A Virgo has a lot of physical and emotional energy to give to the art of lovemaking. The Virgo’s symbol is the virgin. Keep this in mind when you consider that they like a serene environment, and a partner who will provide slow, sensual touching of any kind as foreplay. A Virgo needs to trust you before becoming intimate, but once trust is built, they turn up the heat quickly.

Perfect partner for Virgo: Pisces is the perfect partner for Virgo. Taurus, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn are compatible partner matches as well.

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Libra’s love style: realize that Libra’s erogenous zone is their brain. A Libra loves communication in bed and out, so give direction and take direction well if you want to please them.

Perfect partner for Sagittarius: Gemini is the perfect partner for Sagittarius. Leo, Aries, Libra, and Aquarius are compatible partner matches as well.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Perfect partner for Capricorn: Cancer is Capricorn’s perfect partner. Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio, and Virgo make compatible partners as well.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

5 Signs You’re Holding Onto Negative Energy

May 10, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Sometimes holding onto negative energy of any kind is like drinking small dosages of poison. Over a long period of time it can kill you. It eats at the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. Negative energy is toxic. It shows up disguised in many ways.

Here are 5 signs you might just be holding onto negative energy and don’t even know it:

1. You are overcome by guilt and anxiety.

Are you experiencing erratic chest palpitations at night? Do you partake in homemade-mind movies full of guilt and shame from the past? Are you having a difficult time sleeping? These can be signs of negative energy holding you back. As you move throughout the day you are too busy to capture these signs. Unfortunately at night when there is nothing else to be done, the mind starts recreating scenarios and causing panic.

You can’t get past the fear during the night. You are stricken by fear of the unknown. Your body starts discomfort. A research by scientists from the National Institutes Health found that cells respond to stress in many levels. “Your heart rate speeds up. Your muscles tense. Your face may even blush. Stressors threaten how cells function.”

Do not fight against this because it just makes it worse. Instead, start mindfully breathing. Hold down one nostril and breathe in through the other. Inhale profoundly and exhale deeply. Continue doing this while alternating nostrils. Become mindfully aware of the release. Allow your brain to get enough oxygen. Let your body relax enough to return to its normal state. You cannot control anything. Fear is an illusion. Anxiety is a way to get your attention.

2. You stop doing things you enjoy.

Negative energy sucks the life out of you. You go about the day full of responsibilities. When you are depressed there is only so much you can accomplish. If you feel overwhelmed by life you will have little energy to do the things that make you happy. It’s important to carve out some time to eliminate the negativity. Sit outside and drink a cup of coffee before heading to work. Walk on the grass barefooted. Allow nature to ground you and release the negativity.

When we are under negative energy it’s hard to find joy. It’s important that you try to bring back those things that you find enjoyable. Even something as simple as taking a bubble bath can shift your mood. It’s in the small things that we are brought to positive light. Start small by creating a sense of worth and happiness. You will eventually dispel the energy blockage that’s holding you back.

3. Your weight has fluctuated.

Overeating or not eating are signs of energy shifts. If your weight has changed drastically it is important to address it. The body has warning flags and fluctuation in weight is one of them. Listen to the cravings or the lack of them. Pay attention to signs of an unhealthy body or one that is just suffering from negativity through emotional obstruction. Make time for hiking, walking, swimming or yoga. Activities such as these require peace of mind that helps re-establish balance in the body.

4. You are cranky and irritable.

When we are under stress our emotions react differently. If you are normally a happy well-balanced person but, as of late, you are short-tempered, that’s a sign you are holding on to negative energy. We enter into a “fight or flight” mentality. If things are imbalanced we cannot see them in a healthy manner. Therefore, we snap at everything. We have a short fuse. We become irritated by every rub through words or touch. It’s that time that you must step back and ask for help. Journal, speak with a professional, exercise, use your creativity, or volunteer at a shelter. Sometimes seeing past our own demons allow us to find perspective. By placing a focus outside of your issues you start to create a sense of worth again.

5. You are being overly judgmental.

If you find yourself comparing and judging like never before, you are holding on to some major negative energy. When you are unhappy you find things wrong in everyone else. Judgment is a way to deflect on your own issues. By placing blame, scrutinizing and comparing others, you stop dealing with your own life. Judging is also a way to avoid confronting your emotions and the things that you fear most. You cannot change your beliefs until you change the expectations and assumptions they are built upon. It’s time to ask yourself: What is causing the criticism and judgment? What are you afraid of? What can you learn from this experience? Stepping back and taking responsibility for your thoughts and actions is a way to recharge the energy and make it positive.

We are made from negative and positive energies. It’s the duality of life. When you hold onto negativity it clouds everything around you. You know what’s best for you. Find balance, find joy, and find what works for you in order to return to the light.

5 Signs Your Partner Deserves Your Trust

May 10, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Trust is the greatest compliment to a relationship. It’s one of the most rewarding components of a loving partnership. Sometimes when we fall in love we are blinded by the magic of hormones A great article by Peg Streep in Psychology Today says that, “Trust is the foundation of all human connections, from chance encounters to friendships and intimate relationships. It governs all the interactions we have with each other.” She further says that, “The human capacity for trust and trusting isn’t meted out on an equal basis; some people are able to trust more easily than others and are, in fact, better at being trustworthy and judging trustworthiness.”

As we enter into relationships, our childhood belief systems become the core programming for all relationships. Trust starts with yourself and works its way into romance.

Here are five signs that your partner is someone you can trust wholeheartedly:

1. Your partner is completely open.

Have you been able to be vulnerable? Have you both shared deep thoughts and emotions without fear of getting hurt? This is a genuine guideline that you are with someone who is trustworthy. People who have things to hide don’t normally share openly. They put up excuses and a million bricks to block them out of their truth. You can catch them in lies or things that don’t match up. If your partner is sharing and you are able to capture his/her humanness in its raw foundation, you have someone who trusts and loves you.

2. Your partner acknowledges you to the world.

People who lead double lives do not share their relationships on social media or openly with anyone. They go around hiding to talk on the phone. They put passwords to everything. If your partner is speaking about you, complimenting your relationship, or even just sending kudos of sweet messages, know that you have someone who is able to put you first and foremost. When your partner shares you with the family, friends, and the world you realize that there is little to hide.

3. Your partner is committed to your relationship.

If your partner is spending time with you while making a committed effort to show you that you are a unit, this person is for keeps. The longer time passes the more dedicated and devoted he/she becomes. Earning someone’s trust is never about proving a point. If trust is seen through the involvement of family and friends, you have to acknowledge it as real. Commitment is a means to say, “I am here. I am not going anywhere. Trust in me.” If you’ve been through hard times and he/she is still there, that’s a sign of a positively-driven relationship.

4. Your partner is always there for you.

You notice when someone is in for a short time or for the long haul. This is evident through obstacles. Life happens. It will throw curb balls full of hardship and stumbling blocks. If your partner is hanging tightly with you as the storm passes, he/she is trustworthy. Most people who aren’t in commitment mode will not hang around for the tough times. When you make a commitment to your own self care and self worth, those around you will also do the same. Relationships aren’t born perfect. They are created through the give-and-take of trust.

5. Your partner makes you feel safe.

When you have someone who makes you feel secure and grounded you have a trust on your side. Partners who help and alleviate stress by picking up the slack are folks who you can always trust. They want the best for you. They have seen you at your worst. They have witnessed your vulnerability and still stick around for more. This is the time you need to finally put down the guard and return the safety. Those who give trust also earn it. If your partner keeps promises, does things without an agenda, and continues to show up and love you, this person is trustworthy.

Dependability, stability, commitment, and love make a trusting relationship. You know yourself better than anyone and you know what works and what doesn’t in a partnership. If you are seeing red flags in your relationship, that’s your intuition letting you know that trust is a huge problem. As author David Amerland says, “Trust is an ethereal quality. Like oxygen or light we notice it only by its absence.”

If You Have A Hard Time Speaking Up For Yourself, This May Be Why

May 9, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Do you ever get that feeling of being tongue-tied when you talk to people? The feeling that you just don’t know what to say, like you literally have something stuck in your throat that prevents you from forming the words in your mind. If this sounds like you, you might have a blocked throat chakra. The throat chakra, or the fifth chakra, is located at the center of your neck in your throat, and balances the energy between the lower parts of the body and the brain. This chakra blends the functions of expression and communication, but a blocked throat chakra can make you feel suppressed and frustrated.

Below, let’s talk a bit more about the throat chakra, and what you can do to get it unblocked.

If You Have A Hard Time Speaking Up For Yourself, This May Be Why

The Sanskrit name for the Throat chakra is “Vishudda”, which means “pure” or “purification”.Obviously, this chakra relates to sound, as your thoughts form into words, which create a sound from your throat. The throat chakra is represented by a blue color most commonly.

speaking up

Characteristics of the throat chakra:

Verbal expression – speaking up for yourself
Communication, both verbal and non-verbal
Connection with spirit and intuitive abilities
Creation, ideas, and creativity
Understanding your purpose in life
Punctuality

Ultimately, the throat chakra symbolizes your ability to communicate your authentic truth to the world. The throat chakra is also closely connected to the sacral chakra, which also governs creativity and emotions. You want to use your throat chakra to communicate your ideas and deepest expression with the world.

A second function of the throat chakra deals with connecting to spirit, nature, Oneness, God, or whatever you’d like to call it. The throat chakra helps to align the purposes and intent of the lower and upper chakras, and acts as a balance between them. However, oftentimes, the energy of the lower chakras can get stuck in our throats, making it difficult to communicate our ideas. Opening the throat chakra can help you to bring your ideas to reality, and also may alleviate tightness in your chest, associated with your heart chakra.

Signs of a blocked throat chakra:

A blocked throat chakra can make you feel insecure, timid, and shy. However, an overactive throat chakra can lead to too much talking, in the form of gossip, rudeness, and harshness. It can seem as though you have no filter, and this will affect your relationships.

The following are symptoms of an imbalanced throat chakra:

Losing control of one’s ability to filter words and emotions; speaking too much
Inability to listen effectively to others
Anxiety about speaking
Quiet, almost inaudible voice
Inability to keep secrets
Spreading lies and gossip
Overwhelming shyness and isolation
No purpose in life

A blocked throat chakra can affect your ability to communicate ideas easily and effectively. A throat chakra blockage can also make it difficult to realize your truth in the world. Upon opening this chakra, you will find it easy to speak up for yourself, and will feel able to approach any social situation with confidence.

Some common physical symptoms of blockage include:

frequent sore throat
frequent headaches
dental problems
ulcers in the mouth
hoarseness
thyroid problems
laryngitis
Temporomandibular disorders of the jaw (commonly known as TMJ)
neck pain

Emotional Signs of Throat Chakra Blockage

fear of speaking
difficulty expressing oneself
shyness
contradictions in words and actions
social anxiety
inhibited creativity
stubbornness
detachment

An imbalanced throat chakra can lead to isolation and severe self-esteem issues. You might feel as though you have no worth, and no one will listen to you because you have nothing important to say. If you feel that you have a blocked throat chakra, read on to find out how to clear this blockage so you can speak with confidence and ease.

What To Do About A Blocked Throat Chakra

Clearing the throat chakra involves a lot of inner work, including quieting your ego and learning to tap into your higher self.

A few beginner steps to clear the throat chakra include:

Becoming honest with yourself about your emotions. If you need to cry, then let the tears fall. The top reason for a blocked throat chakra is suppressed emotions, so you need to make sure you check in with your emotions often and release any negative ones in order to clear the blockage.
Practice talking honestly with people you feel close to. Don’t hold back, and express yourself confidently and clearly. Speak up, and don’t allow others to talk over you or make you feel insignificant. Exercises on self-confidence can really help here.
Incorporate blue colors into your life to help boost this chakra’s energy. Wear blue clothing, eat more blue foods, and put blue items around your home.

This Is For Every Person Who Has Ever Been Depressed

May 9, 2016 by Power of Positivity

In our society, it seems that more people express they have been depressed than ever before. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 350 million people globally suffer from this horribly debilitating mental illness.

However, just because you or someone you know suffers from depression, does not mean you have to go through it alone or feel misunderstood. Almost everyone goes through depression in some part of their life, even if they don’t have it chronically. No matter how long you’ve been dealing with the illness or how badly you suffer from it, please keep reading for a little inspiration to get you through the day.

This Advice Is for Any Person Who Has Ever Been Depressed

stephen hawking — Read Stephen Hawking’s words of encouragement.

Depression hurts – it can feel like the darkest abyss, like a storm that never ends, or a jail cell inside your own mind. Unfortunately, many people who don’t suffer from it can’t understand the feelings of those who have to live with it every single day. Many only understand the illnesses and suffering they see right before their eyes, but depression doesn’t like to cause a big scene. In fact, it hides behind the scenes, only appearing behind closed doors when no one else can see how much damage it has done.

If you suffer from depression, it can seem like the days are long and the nights are even longer. You want to escape your mind. But you have no idea how. You want someone to hear you, to understand how you feel. But you don’t have the words to express it sometimes. You want to run away. But you don’t know where to turn. You want many things, but most importantly, for the sinking feeling in your chest to dissipate somehow.

Light at the End of the Dark Tunnel of Depression

If you currently suffer or have suffered from depression in the past, please don’t give up. Someone out there will hear your pain and understand your sadness, and can help you get back on your feet again. Just don’t turn out the lights, because then, you won’t ever give yourself that chance to recover. You CAN start to feel better again, with time, commitment, and dedication. Nothing in life comes easily, but the first step to feeling better is to admit that you need help. We weren’t meant to walk through this life alone, so don’t feel that you have to.

Depression can make you feel like you never want to climb out of bed again like you just want to sink into the sheets and pretend like the world outside doesn’t exist. If you feel like some days you don’t want to get up, just remember that you don’t have to. You don’t have to fight your feelings every single day – remember to give yourself a break sometimes. You’re only human, and you deserve to get honest with your feelings and honor your inner voice. This world has unrealistic expectations oftentimes, and no one can live up to perfection. If you want to spend all day in your bed and not pay any attention to the outside world sometimes, then do it. Do whatever you need to recharge, and don’t feel remorse about it.

Take Care of Yourself

Forget about the expectations of others for a second, and look at the person in the mirror in front of you. Depression often exists because we have forgotten our connection to our true selves, the selves underneath the masks that we put on each day to live in this world. We have forgotten our inner child, the person in all of us that longs to play, to have fun, to express ourselves authentically. Don’t forget about the voice inside. It’s crying out for you to remember it, to honor it, and to listen to it whenever you feel down in life. We take this life so seriously sometimes, but often forget it’s all just a game anyway. Don’t allow depression to win – though it might be unforgiving, cruel, and a tough monster to beat, you have the ultimate power, not the false voices inside your mind.

Final Thoughts for Anyone Who Has Ever Been Depressed

Depression can often sneak up on you when you least expect it, so when this happens, go outside your mind for a second. The mind likes to rattle on endlessly, oftentimes about the same things we thought about yesterday. Remember to take time away from the voices inside your head, to breathe, to rejoice in simply being alive, to feel, to experience nature in all its beauty, to laugh with loved ones, to smell the flowers in your garden. This life is a miracle, and though it might be a battlefield all the same, we should learn to love both sides of the story. The hardships, the heartache, the pain, the confusion, the love, the compassion, the hope, all of it.

Depression can seem all-encompassing, lonely, and fearful at times. But just remember to zoom out sometimes and look at the bigger picture. Depression isn’t your whole story. In fact, it’s only a part of it. Depression isn’t your only identity, so don’t look at yourself as if that’s all you see. You’re a work in progress, a walking miracle, so don’t think anything less of yourself.

This Is The Most Important Question You’ll Ever Ask Yourself…

May 9, 2016 by Power of Positivity

It may come as no surprise that most people feel unhappy with their jobs and careers, and many of them have no idea what to do about it.

According to a report by the Conference Board, a whopping 52.3% of Americans feel dissatisfied with their jobs, and this percentage has only increased since 1987 when the Board began doing job satisfaction surveys. So, with over half of Americans feeling unhappy with their work, then what can we do about this growing epidemic of people who don’t feel fulfilled by their occupations?

Obviously, no one can decide for you what you should do in life, so the ultimate decision for how you should go about living lies in your hands. However, making such a huge decision doesn’t just happen overnight. It often takes a lot of soul searching and contemplation to come up with what you’d like to spend your life doing, and even then, you could change your mind the very next week, month, or year if your passions have changed.

Many factors come into play when discussing career choices, but we all deserve to feel happy in our life’s work, and not just waste away our time doing things we don’t enjoy just to pay the bills.

If you feel stuck in life and don’t even want to get up for work any longer, keep reading to find out one simple question you can ask yourself to make the decision a little less difficult.

This Is The Most Important Question You’ll Ever Ask Yourself

In this world, we often feel as though we have been thrown into a system we can’t control, into a life we didn’t sign up for, into a complicated machine that we can’t quite figure out. No one said this life wouldn’t come with challenges, and no one said the system played fairly, but we don’t have to simply act as servants and slaves to corporations. We can follow our passions in life by going deep within to figure out our core passions, and not allowing ourselves to become swayed by the opinions of others.

Do you enjoy what you do each day for a living? Or would you rather be doing something else, anything else? If so, then you need to ask yourself the following question.

“What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?”

Of course, we must use money in this current system, but think about things in a hypothetical manner for a second. Picture yourself living in a moneyless society; what would you spend the majority of your time doing?

In order to find your passion, you have to think about it this way in order to really hone in on your ultimate dream. If you thought of things in only a practical manner, you might end up staying in a job you really don’t like the rest of your life just because you didn’t think outside the box for a second.

The Inspiring Story of J.K. Rowling

If you need further inspiration, think of the author J.K. Rowling. She worked in a small cafe on her books after getting divorced, living on welfare, and reaching the end of her rope. She didn’t care about anything else but following her passion – life meant nothing if she couldn’t pursue her dreams. By listening to her inner voice and blocking out everything else that told her not to dive into her work headfirst, she might not have become as successful today.

You can read countless success stories like this, and most of them have a common theme. The person seemingly had no options left and had reached rock bottom. They were running on empty, yet somehow found the strength and willpower to follow their dreams relentlessly.

So, once you find out what you’d like to do with your life, don’t let ANYONE tell you that you can’t pursue your passions. The only difference between those who follow their dreams and those who don’t is perseverance. You don’t have to possess any special talent or intellect or personality in order to make your dreams a reality – you just have to never give up on yourself.

Back to the main point of the article, though – after finding out your passion, then you just need to make actionable steps in order to achieve it. Everyone must start somewhere with their goals, but you’ll certainly have more of a chance at succeeding by getting the ball rolling with your dreams than by never taking that first step.

If You Have A Hard Time Speaking Up For Yourself, This May Be Why
