Awareness

I liked this thought “Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. - Eckhart Tolle -

This thought made me curious "When you find yourself in a situation that prompts your mind to engage in negativity, take that opportunity to practice 'observing presence.'"

And I found this - "Let’s say you’re in a long line at the supermarket or the airport. The line isn’t moving and you’re getting irritated and angry. If you’re present with it, you may realize it’s not the line that’s causing you to be angry. It’s your mind, whatever your mind is telling you. And the emotions are your body’s reactions to your thoughts about the situation. That’s a very important realization, because now an element of choice comes in. You see that it just makes your life unpleasant to be feeling those things—the irritation and anger serve no purpose. It doesn’t change the situation. And now you have the choice…………………………."
