Phoenixivity 

the art of using positive thinking and positive behavior to manifest and achieve amazing success.
If we feel hopeful and POSITIVE, we will radiate POSITIVITY, through a process of self-development which I call Phoenixivity. My wife came up with the term Phoenixivity by blending the words Phoenix and Positivity. Thus, on June 12, 2010, the word Phoenixivity was born. It is now the title of my first book.

Phoenixing 

When you hit your early 30s and realize you need to reassess all your shit...your values, your beliefs, and your choices, because for the first time in your life you can clearly hear your own voice, and it's time to start living that truth even if you have to burn yourself to the ground and rise from the ashes as someone new - more authentic, stronger, and giving absolutely no fucks what the world says you need to be.
That girl is changing...she owns her shit in a new way...she just gives no fucks anymore and knows what she wants. She's kind of terrifying but a part of me wishes I wish I knew myself like that. Girl is phoenixing...

PhoenixStar

A tag used by some people that wanted something more that just a creative name.
These people are most likely bad at social interaction and randomly pop in and out of conversations, an are very awkward, but when you get to know them they are generally a good person, however they have low self-confidence. They usually get into a lot of cursed stuff, and have no regrets about it.
They usually go by phoenix, however a select few can call the phoe
PhoenixStar, thats very cursed

Phoenixing 

Our 30’s (or really any age) are a time to take stock, to come to terms with whatever great loss or trauma we’ve all come to experience by now, and to really begin to question who we are, who and what we want to. Sometimes this means stripping some of the old parts away as we step into our truer, more authentic self for the next chapter: this is phoenixing.
As we celebrated my birthday, I felt myself

phoenixing - letting go of past versions of myself to embrace a new chapter of growth and a more authentic version of myself.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
