Inhabiting the Now

I thoroughly enjoyed week 8 of the webinar on A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and Oprah. One of my favorite moments tonight was when Oprah talked about how when a decision is not coming from a place of ego, it gives you peace and you don't have to ask "15 people" if you're doing the right thing.

How much does that resonate? A big amen.

Also, Eckhart talked about being aware of each thing you're doing and your surroundings and just being fully present so the everyday isn't mundane or a means to an end. I really felt this at the gym today. I used to be working on one machine while obsessing that someone else was going to get on the machine I wanted next. Not productive, obviously. It's so much better to feel each rep and enjoy the movement and power.

This is quality of life.
