Hi everyone! I am watching the video on "Joy" in the classroom and Zach just said something awesome. That the conditioning that was applied to me throughout my life came through people who were not conscious. If they had been conscious, then they would have taught me how to be conscious. And that as I look back on that, to be compassionate. To be conscious as I look on that and bring consciousness to me and to them. Thank you Zach🙏

Overthinking was one of the biggest things holding me back, but I had it completely wrong. I thought it meant I was having too many thoughts. That is not actually true. I was not thinking any more thoughts than anyone else. The real issue was that I was too attached to my thoughts. A negative thought or limiting belief would enter my mind, I would pour energy into it, and before I knew it I was overwhelmed, dysregulated, and stuck on the hamster wheel of my own mind. The thing that changed everything was learning to see thoughts as things. Just objects passing through my awareness, like my phone, my shirt, or my car. I started observing the thought, letting it go, and returning to what actually mattered. The more I practiced that, the easier it became to stay present and focused.

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune…” Most of us think life is about force—pushing, striving, controlling outcomes. But what if the real work is noticing the tide? There are moments when everything in you is aligned—your awareness is clear, your resistance is low, and the next step feels almost obvious. That’s the flood. Miss it, and we tend to loop—overthinking, forcing, tightening.Catch it, and things move with surprising ease. The invitation is simple Pay attention to your inner current. Not every moment is meant for action. But when the tide rises—that wave is for us!

No shortcuts…
