It doesn’t really matter why I became anorexic. It may have been a self-punishment for all that I had done, and might ever do, wrong. It may have been my attempt to control whatever I could. My anorexia, many many many years ago, may have been a reaction to my leaving the Unification Church. Fair points.Īnorexic thinking is my term for the rigidity with which my mind can work. In fact, you’re probably wondering what anorexic thinking is. However, you’re probably wondering what this has to do with anorexic thinking. Well, me and the other 3 million people who have bought the book! The Power of Now takes it to a whole new level for me. I’ve been trying to practice mindfulness and definitely preaching mindfulness. I’ve been mindful of mindfulness for a while. And when I stop and give Now my full attention it puts things in perspective. Because all we have, all I have, is right now. It seems to ring true how all the rest of time – the past and the future – are made up in ways. I’ve been, bit by bit, remembering to be even more present and more aware of the now (or the Now, as Tolle refers to it). It’s the kind of reading that sits with you in a deep way. I’m sure I’ll be referring to it over and over again throughout my life. I know I’m late to the party, but I’m glad I’m here now (pun intended). I’ve started reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
