    Holy shit. I never figured that I actually like my negative thinking and that my brain has been trained to enjoy it.... I have to change this

    1. Become aware of your negative thoughts.
    2. Realize that you are addicted to this way of thinking. Try to understand why you are addicted to this way of thinking (usually ego based)
    3. Understand that this way of thinking is futile and serves no purpose. Unhappiness does not work and does not change things.
    4. Remain aware of your thoughts. When you are aware you are in control; when you are unaware you are helpless.

    I made it my mission to help those with negative thought addiction. I formed Head Trash Anonymous. When I cleared my head trash, I reversed five incurable diseases that left me mentally and physically disabled. I'm healthy today, my doctors cannot explain me. I'm a medical miracle.

    There always a subtle background of humor, calm and light-heartedness in Eckhart’s words and persona. And also a sense of distance, as if he’s watching this whole thing from afar with indifference. Beautiful man.

      Thomas Keets one of my pet peeves with her is not only how she interrupts, but how she finishes others’ sentences. On the other hand I m grateful to her for bringing Tolle and others to the masses. She is a legend and I admire her.

      Its called an interview not a speech when she engages with people. If you ever notice as one of the best interviewer's a side from Barbara Walters they assist the speaker in getting all of the information they have locked up in their heads that they may forget to bring up. Other wise the person should just give a speech.

I literally, feel surprised when it happens. Awareness of my thoughts has changed me. I feel Wonder again, I find joy & beauty in little things....I Legit Love you Eckhart

    Negative thinking is so hard for some people to break because it actually produces a dopamine affect in the brain, which plays a major role in the motivational component of reward-motivated behavior. As a Master Life Coach I see this a lot. I help them to replace every negative thought with ten positive to help re-wire the brains neuro pathways.

    • @ella-bt8hp
      @ella-bt8hp 6 років тому +11

      Was it because he speaks slowly at times. I first thought he was very softly spoken but once I really listened I was amazed.

      When I first got The Power of Now, I struggled through paragraphs of material that were very dense and difficult. These little clips are very helpful. Reminds me to go back and reread Power of Now.

  • @dmrd222
    @dmrd222 Рік тому +2

    I was hysterically laughing when Eckhart started verbalizing the examples of negative thinking because that used to be me to a "T". Of course, it's really not funny, but I'm glad I can look back on it and laugh now thanks to Eckhart's teachings. I am grateful, too, that I have a very logical mind... and at least a small degree of intelligence... to absolutely understand what my ego was doing most of my adult life in terms of negativity. Nowadays, any time negativity creeps back into my mind, I stop myself and realize that it serves No Purpose. My mantra is: "An Eckhart a day keeps the negativity away." 🍎♥

      With respect to Eckhart Tolle's use of that sentence, a grievance looking for a Cause. My husband does this a lot, he gets mad and spends his time looking for what I may have done that could possibly make him angry. Instead of calling that a grievance Looking For A Cause, although I think that is a good phrase! I call it pre mad.

    Great eye opener, The more videos I watch, the more I read Eckhart’s books, more enlightened I become. When you have lived for so long unconsciously the pull to negative thinking , once guilt, once blame is strong but I won’t give up! I keep failing but I’ll keep trying. I love the presence, the peace that I was yearning to obtain for so long but I was looking for it outside , I am finally feeling it within 🧘‍♂️🤗 Thank you the Universe for Eckhart Tolle and everyone who help him spread his teaching.

    And that's why I like you even more!
    Dear Eckhart, you are such a gift. Thank you for making you, what you are now!
    Listening to you helps a lot, to feel the inner peace and to keep the feeling. And to just be. :)
    Best regards and all the best, always!

  • @simonesolas2672
    @simonesolas2672 5 років тому +3

    I was raised by an abusive, cruel mother who constantly displayed this negative way of thinking, it's taken a lifetime to heal but I've always, even as a young child had the inner belief the world was a good place and full of wonder. My father had many similar beliefs to Eckhart so im guessing this helped immensely although I often wonder why he married such a woman. I do however at times still struggle with negative thinking. This amazing man heals me he is such a gift to our world. 💕💕💕💕

  • @karend5327
    @karend5327 5 років тому +2

    What a wonderful man, even more so because he has been through it himself so understands. He has given us the solution to constant negative chatter - ‘awareness’. Such a simple tool to use. If I had known this I wouldn’t have wasted my time on self-help books. I am terribly addicted to my negative chatter. Also, it is just the same old habitual thoughts, almost a ‘safe’ place to keep going back to but extremely destructive because they gave me a disease I am healing naturally. So, all you sensitive, lovely people reading this, you must be because we all have the same problem, get yourself fixed mentally coz your body can’t tell the difference between fact and fiction, fight or flight. Also, practice gratitude for even the tiniest things in your life and it makes you feel better. Eckhart, you are an Earth Angel. Blessings, Karen, UK.

Every time I have crises I remember when you told that in one of your many crises you accessed your REAL SELF and I also dream about this moment.

    It's very rare for me to be able to stay aware because it happens so fast I totally identify with the pain body.

    I grew up alone with a lethally narsissistic parent. It took med almost 30 years to realise the severity of my wounds. My anger, my ego, my mental self-flagellation and resentment for never meeting the standards of others. The self-hate is at times som noisy I cannot pay attention to what is said and done around me. Eckhart is now slowly healing these wounds. I have a long way to go, though.
    I have now built up the courage to cut this person out of my life.

    Although I have had significant periods of positivity, I have done this negative thinking compulsively. It is a relief not to be doing it now. I will develop greater proficiency in new positive patterns of behaviour without falling prey to overly optimistic magical thinking in the face of past evidence to the contrary.

    I had a breakthrough after many years, where I feel I was living in awareness for a period of about 6 weeks. I didn't think, I just did whatever came naturally. I was so much happier for it. Happier and more peaceful than I'd ever been. I've since relapsed into overthinking and worry, and cannot get back there.
    Hopefully this will assist. Thank you Eckhart.

    Yesterday I was complaining to my partner 'I am driving among idiots!' He wasn't interested. Today the universe brings me Eckart Tolle, reminding me of paths already signed.

    thank you very much. I am very sad when i see the truth and tearing on my eyes. I will try to meet you one day and thanks you personally. I will work hard for it.
