We push ourselves to maintain good habits through willpower and repetition. The new habit may last for weeks or even months\, but as soon as we lose focus\, we slip into old patterns. \nThe biggest misconception about building habits is that continuous thinking\, planning\, and repetition is the key to getting results. \nThe real secret to habits is not in our willpower or our thoughts. It is our state of consciousness that governs everything we think and do. \nForget everything you’ve heard about building habits. Thom will teach you the Vedic approach to creating long-lasting\, positive change in your life. \n  URL:https://thomknoles.com/event/enlightened-habits-qanda/ CATEGORIES:For Vedic Meditators,Group Meditation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thomknoles.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/aditya-siva-3P1G67zNyCI-unsplash-scaled.jpg LOCATION:https://thomknoles.com/event/enlightened-habits-qanda/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230415T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230415T220000 DTSTAMP:20260618T162334 CREATED:20230221T190649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230406T050842Z UID:10000022-1681588800-1681596000@thomknoles.com SUMMARY:Satsang Masterclass: Problems are a Consciousness State (Online) DESCRIPTION:Veda shares that there is no such thing as a problem.
