Living consciously is about taking control of your life, about thinking about your decisions rather than making them without thought, about having a life that we want rather than settling for the one that befalls us. It's a book you'll want to have sitting on your bedside table. Fifty-two short chapters each contain a nugget of wisdom, applicable to your everyday life, that invites you to pause, come alive to the moment, and remember the deepest truth of who you are. And each offers practices to help you bring this heart-centered awareness into your relationships, your work, and the way you show up to yourself and your life. You'll find questions that orient your attention to the present moment ("What is most alive in me right now?"), suggestions for moving through sticky habits ("When you notice a pattern has overtaken you, stop. Pause. Take a breath. Put some space around it so you have options."), and ways to work with fear ("Get to know the scary stories fear tells and how it feels in your body. When you notice it, step away from the grip of fear, and see what life wants to offer you--beyond the fear.").Living consciously is about taking control of your life, about thinking about your decisions rather than making them without thought, about having a life that we want rather than settling for the one that befalls us.
