The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
🐝 One Idea That Shifts You
Book #02 — You Are Not Your Thoughts
📘 Inspired by: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
🎯 The Shift
Your thoughts are not “you.”
They are noise.
You are the space they happen in.
Most people live in their minds.
Constant dialogue. Endless loops. Worries, judgments, memories.
But something radical happens when you pause and watch the thoughts instead of becoming them.
You realize:
You are not the storm.
You are the sky it moves through.
🌀 Visual Insight:
The Sky and the Cloud

————————
Still Sky
(Your Presence)
The sky never fights the cloud.
It just allows it. And it passes.
⚡ The Antidote
“Watch the thinker.”
This is the core of The Power of Now.
Not to suppress thoughts — but to notice them.
When you become the observer, you become free.
🛠 1-Minute Practice
Today, try this for one minute:
Sit still.
Close your eyes.
Watch one thought come in.
Don’t react. Just label it: “thinking.”
Let it pass.
Repeat.
This is not meditation.
It’s awareness training.
🧠 Quote to Keep
“You are not the voice in your mind, but the one who is aware of it.”
— Eckhart Tolle
💡 Closing Thought
You don’t have to believe everything you think.
You are not the story. You are the silence beneath it.
