Testimonials

I have been here for a year and a half. When I joined, I was 100% in and was making good progress. I was in between jobs, and I joined every session Cornelius offered. I was able to do this from November 2022 through April 2023. I started a job in April, since it was remote I was able to still engage in almost every session. In January 2024 I had to start going to the office 3 days a week. This presented a challenge. I found a small conference room that I could use to do the sessions when I was at the office. I was still able to make most sessions. Yay! Then as time has progressed my meetings have gotten in the way of some of the sessions and I’ve missed more than I would like. Or I join and get interrupted. This is just a part of life and I’ve been carrying on. On top of missing more sessions than I would like I have started watching tv when I rarely watched it before. I was watching Virgin River on Netflix. It’s a good, wholesome show and I really enjoyed it. But I got the nudge that it was causing me sadness. It was making me think of the things I don’t have (a partner, community, beautiful mountain views) rather than focusing & being grateful for what I do have. I continued to watch it because I enjoyed it. I’ve gotten a lot of nudges I have ignored.

- In March I did Echo #5 - Optimal Physical and Mental Health. The first or second day I got the nudge to do Whole 30 (a clean way of eating).

- Just last night I got a nudge that maybe I should go on a social media fast.

- Along with the social media fast, I got the nudge that I should review the OneO way of life everyday so I can ensure I’m following it every day.

- I’ve been getting the nudge to join the hiking group I used to hike with.

So, the ah ha today was that I have been sad lately.  I have been thinking more about the past rather than focusing on the present and being grateful. I have been thinking about how I have been single for so long, poor me (consciously disagree). I am not at the weight I want to be, poor me (consciously disagree). Listening to the masterclass today it hit me that this is because of my current habits and I can take action on ALL these nudges. That is absolutely something I can control and I can be grateful for what I have and the progress I have made. I was acknowledging the nudges but doing nothing about them. I did finally act on one of them. I’m on day 8 of The Whole 30. I have also started walking regularly again. I have always loved getting out in nature and walking. Today I have turned off my tv and don’t intend on getting back into that as a regular activity. I will just sit and be more. I signed up for a hike on Saturday. I will stop with the doom scrolling. I will ensure I’m following The OneO way of life. Today’s masterclass was the big fish slap in the face I needed to stop just ‘doing yoga’. I’m so grateful for this community and all that Cornelius and consciousness provide daily. I’ve been here but lately have been dancing around the fire. Not anymore.
