Eric's Letters

For the past month or so I've been working on something that might be fun to share.

Being busy shouldn’t count for much. What should count is direction. Are you going in the right direction?

If we spend even a little time with our better selves, surely we're better off.

Getting clear on what's enough is like a superpower.

Committing to practicing being fully present with a single 10-minute block every day could be life changing. I know it has been for me.

Our remarkable ability to self-repair is one of many useful byproducts of evolution. But we have to be “at peace” for these mechanisms to begin...

If you find yourself lost in thought and can somehow become aware that you’re lost in thought, a decision to begin again instantly snaps you...

Placebos are real, and we can use them to our advantage.

Short pauses, extended pauses ... both feel really good, and both are necessary.

Listening is magic. It's amazing what happens when you fully do it, and stop doing other things.

When your eyes first open in the morning, what do you do?

If we could just stay focused on the right things, our lives would stop feeling like a reaction to stuff that happens to us.
