The biggest single result from the course has been noticing when I'm settling and putting up with less than I want.

Quick summary

Athena discovered she had been settling for less than she wanted in life. Through the course, she learned to stop, become present, and feel the cost of her choices. This awareness led to lasting changes in her diet, exercise, and how she spends her time.

However, it shows up everywhere! It's the insight, and actually stopping, becoming present and fully feeling the cost that is new. It's because I've been the fish, swimming along asking "What water?"

Then I listen to Jon talk about his life, and it's impossible NOT to notice my tendency to go numb and continue on unsatisfied. Jon jerks me awake, and I have made numerous habit changes in diet, exercise and how I spend my TIME, since starting the course. And the changes have stuck! Yahoo! That is worth FAR MORE than the price of the course. ACTUAL CHANGE!
