Decide

The experience of being in conscious contact with reality as it actually is can be a key to the freedom you seek.
By Eric Gower

Listen Please

It helps to pay attention to what we're hearing because it seems like our ears need some TLC.
By Eric Gower

Simultaneous

We can simply accept what is, and we can change what is. Simultaneously.
By Eric Gower

Already There

Maybe what we're really after is the art of discovering that we can be fulfilled before the next thing happens, not because it happened.
By Eric Gower

Notice

Somehow this liminal space lends itself to pausing, and the pause is the notice.
By Eric Gower

Take It Away

Perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to take away.
By Eric Gower

Yare Yare

It's 2021, and the global collective sigh of relief is palpable.
By Eric Gower

Big Joy

I'm noticing the many small, but great, things around me that bring me joy.
By Eric Gower

Resolve

In the end, what do we all want?

Do It Now

Doing what's meaningful to you really comes down to stealing hours from more comfortable pursuits and habits.

Unflappable

Some things are up to us and other things are not.
By Eric Gower

Predecision

Link a desired behavior with something you regularly do.
By Eric Gower

Good Habits

Your habits of today are a kind of vote for your future self. Adopting ultrahealthy eating habits today, for example, is a very good idea.
By Eric Gower

Slow Deep Breaths

Using the power of your own awareness to practice conscious, slow breathing through the nose is the ultimate mindfulness practice.
By Eric Gower

Burn Brighter

Every one of us knows, somewhere deep down, what it's like to be truly happy, if only for brief moments.
By Eric Gower

Tiny Bits

Add value to your future self every day, in five-minute chunks.
By Eric Gower

We Are Optimists

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

Pause the Busy

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

Blank Slate

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

Enoughness

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