Looking outside for the solutions to all my problems. What?!


Wow – I just had the most interesting revelation while I was meditating! I realize that I look outside for the tools to solve all my problems. I want to lose weight – I look for a program, a coach, etc. however I know exactly what to do. I want to exercise more yet instead of doing it at home or going for a walk/jog, I wait as I want to find the money to join a gym or yoga studio. I want to be more productive with my work so I look for a workspace rather than working at home. I know now, thanks to scholars, that it starts with me … with my thoughts – NOT with all the external levers that may be great but are not the starting point. My question is – where do I go from here? Is consciousness enough and now watching those thoughts and modeling them? Anything else? Thank you!
