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've heard Eckhart say the F word. My life is complete.
Your comment gas me rolling My life's ambition 😂
Same love HIM so much
"My life is so fucked up" never thought I'd hear eckhart tolle say that regardless of context..I love him so 😇
Saoirse Rosenstock yea that's true good point. Do you have a boyfriend?
Spiritual stand up comedy. I love it.
Found this video at 3am, I couldn't sleep because of negative thoughts 😂
The annoying ones
Me too.
In my case Its 5.14am!
That 3am thing must be common. I have those mornings too. So now we have some insight and laughs to make it better. The best to you and everyone.☺
Ditto
If you're reading this... you're going to stop thinking negative. Life is happening for you & not to you.
Through you :)
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.
It’s so nice to watch this without Oprah interrupting
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.
By far her biggest flaw, she interrupts all the time. But, none of us are perfect
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.
Thomas Keets Foreal 😂😩😂😩
Thomas Keets yeahhhh. I don’t think she gets him
Nobody explains these issues more simply and accurately.
Eckhart Tolle is the real life Yoda
I think he's from a different dimension...there is something extrodinary about him...i love when he laughs...its so playful...amazing person
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.
most important take away for my ego: I cannot fight the negativity because that itself is negativity. just Be [Aware of it] and let that make you happy.
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.
Sure
"a grievance looking for a cause" great quote
yes, if one walks about with a chip on their shoulder, they're sure to find someone to knock it off.
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.
The 2ond time i read The Power of Now, I felt a shift in me. I Became Present. Now if a negative or angry thought pops in, i hear it & it actually makes me laugh. 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
When Eckhart does those ego dialogue bits he's as good as any stand up comic 😂
That little chuckle he does - it cracks me up so much - and together we laugh at the futility of negative thinking.
Who is this man who has given me sleep again !? An angel .
Oh I simply love him !! He describes us all in a way that you HAVE to laugh. And realize how ridiculous we are.
wow i never thought that a parent giving up to a crying kid is actually rewarding and encouraging unhappiness... amazing.
‘What time is it? 3 am!’ I actually laughed out loud again to this.
I imagine the negative stream of thoughts as a tree growing and when I catch it happening I imagine the tree unraveling and plucking itself from its core, than I shift my attention to the present moment. It has worked very well for me hope this can help someone.
"grievance looking for a cause"
damn it, nailed it
Have been trying to stop the obsessive for seven consecutive years :| .. feels like eternity .. please wish me luck
Thank you Mr Eckhart, I struggle with anxiety and depression and I want to start being more positive.
I used tp be unable to listen to Eckhart Tolle. Thank God i got over that. His knowledge is deep. I've learned alot from him. He is brilliant.
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.
Thank you for allowing me to see that it is only negative thinking that takes me to a place that is so deep into a hopeless pit. Its like coming up for air to listen to this.
We are so very richly blessed to have you in our lives🙏
My favorite line… What time is it? Oh 3 AM i lmao everytime!!😂 great job eckhart!
It's nice to recognize the ego, and pain body for what they are..when you feel slighted or insulted, the pain body jumps up and reacts to protect the ego...all ridiculous..love Eckhart!
I have been binge-watched his talk since I found him in youtube. So grateful 😊
The ego is fed by negative thoughts, it is strengthened.
100% pure, without any masks whatsoever, wonderful man. Thank you Eckhart. 🦋💕
So many parents need to hear this
I am so grateful to have this beautiful soul to help me through my time here on earth. I reach for these videos when my mind goes into a tizzy or when I am in a calm aware state of receiving. Love love love Eckhart.
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." 🍎♥
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.
it's just pleasant to be able to come here and listen..
Zan only listening raises awareness doesnt it
Zan cumquat
That is a simply beautiful comment.
My mind never leaves me alone! Sometimes I think I have more than one. Many minds all letting me know how bad I am! I'm listening to you now Eckhart Tolle hoping you can help me find a way to stop this madness.
This is so good. And he is adorable.
Wonderful, thank you Eckhart. The world needs more of you!
Love you Eckhart - you are blilliant and have a subtle sence of humour which makes me smile.
I loved how at the start everyone was laughing at his impressions of people that worry about different things, but then he ends it with 'I don't think I can take anymore of this' - that part hits home and makes you realise how serious those states are for some people.
Thank you so much for being there for all of us now.
It's very rare for me to be able to stay aware because it happens so fast I totally identify with the pain body.
This happens especially when I get angry, it's like an explosion that suddenly takes over and I can only become aware of it when it's gone again.
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. 💕💕💕💕
I daily practice or listen to positive I AM affirmations to reprogram my subconscious..
Did it help
Struck such a deep chord with me, but luckily I'm blessed with awareness thanks to your teachings Eckhard. Such great wisdom.
I can listen to him over and over and over ... Thank you Eckhart for sharing your wisdom.
Great! We learn that unhappines work while we are children! I have never tought of that that way, but it is so logic. This is a exellent lesson for parents too.Thank you, you great man!
"A grievance looking for a cause." I love that.
Thank you for your Divine words of wisdom.🙏👏👍💖🙏
He’s awesome- his voice is calming and inviting. So accurate!
A true master is someone who has no need to show off as a master. And that's exactly what we can always without exeption see in your presence.
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!
Thank you Eckhart, wise man. Love you
I love you Eckhart. Thank you. 🙂❤️
Thank you Eckhart Tolle for helping us through our awakening process for that we are immensely grateful.👍👏🙏💖👏👍🙏🌷🌹🌺💐🌸👏💖🙏
Thank you Eckhart ! Ive listening for 3 years full time now everyday and finally have realized the essence of his teachings its been transformative to say the least. Now im on the path to practice his teachings into my life. Im doing much better again its all thanks to you
just wow. how he brings it all together at the end to answer the question is just incredible
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.
I am catching my self more and more. Really practicing present. It is so nice to have this man show us the way. He understand us.
Wisest of men, and always with such humor too!
I'm watching this in stitches at all eckharts negative thinking examples. Really helpful the way he explains it for us thank you.
That sound in the beginning always gets me centered even before the video starts wow..
I'm enchanted with the flowers they choose for Eckhart :)
I have read The Power of NOW , enjoyed Eckharts interviews over the years .
But for some reason this video (watched a few times over two days ) I do believe I ve finally got it .
Many thanks .
🌹Eckhart 🌹 Love Eckhart, he even cursed so spiritually... love you Eckhart. You’re a great great teacher.
I love you ❤. You've changed my life for the better.
Definitely fall victim to exessive worrying and overthinking. As a fellow anxiety disorder sufferer I have been through the depths of hell and back. Found Tolle's books, teachings etc in the past couple years and it has changed my life. Have devoted my life to learning mindfulness and meditation, to the point it inspired us to start our channel. To those reading this you are loved, you are safe and you will be ok. With love, Michael from Meditation Inspiration
Danke für deine tollen und inspirierenden Worte, Eckhart!
I had to watch this video a couple times to absorb everything, but I think it's so great that he just wants to help people😀
I'll see you soon, Ekhart. You're such a divine creation.
The mans a born comedian with great wisdom and understanding ❤️
Thank You so much dearest 💐
You’re such an inspiration 🥰
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏😇
Wow i can say this video found me at the right time was in the middle of a huge stream of negative thoughts and i took a step back and realized it was over absolutely nothing wow thanks eckhart
Thank you ALL who work on this ❤
thank you for seeing and communicating reality so clearly eckhart!
Very true, it used to be me until I was awakened. However, I am still conscious of thoughts and feeling from my past relationship, I don't engage, but I wish it would go away
He is soooo cute especially when he laughs bless him
I really admire you Master Tolle. And I dream about the magic moment of accessing my inner peace just like when that happened with you. I have terrible anxieties and and I've been trying to meditate every day. 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.
Parenting advice-thank you, Eckhart!
When awareness comes in, choice comes in. So simple and so profound. Made me think and realise, I only have to become aware and I have created a choice for myself. Thank you!!
Wonderful teaching thank you Eckhart Oneness peace and love to all
Thank you Dear Mr. Tolle .. very simple and important
EXCELLENT INFORMATION ABOUT NEGATIVE THINKING AND HOW WE CAN OVERCOME FROM NEGATIVE THINKING.
Eckhart nails those common things that my 'pain body' tries to play with me. It has been so cool to have them laid out, so when 'they' hit me now, I know what the hell 'they' are. Thank you.
Me too X
There are so many of us who randomly gives wrong lessons to children,should be it's the point to be aware human then be parent who gives awareness to their children)Thank you Mr Tolle
I am very impressed with eckhart my son told me about him
Ive never heard him say the F word before!! 💜Eckhart
I thought that's what he said. haha
I had to replay it just to make sure I heard him correctly 😂
Yes, he's human! Love it, it makes him more relatable
+Cosmo Nucleus Agreed !
What minute
I have very little ego no wonder I'm always happy. I love how he explains patterns and negative thinking tools to snap you out but realizing your ego is getting in the way. Just be aware and you will be free.
Love ET. Good spiritual advice AND a pleasant soothing voice!
Happy Birthday this month
You are a modern Meister Eckhart
Eckhart Tolle is my teddy bear. Thank you so much for this video
That a good imitation that's about what my mind sounds like
His message is so profound and changes the game
I prefer to use the word , “ accustomed “ ...I got accustomed to thinking & acting a certain way. ~ The word “ addiction “ is heavy & judgmental ..It’s good to be able to describe ( label ) these aspects of ourselves in the most open ended / neutral ways as possible ...So that one may have an easier experience to navigate changes we choose to make. Thank you 🐬
Love this....it totally resonates with a question I was asked the other day......"Why can't you let it go?" I've read all about Bowlby's Attachment Theory and now you've just clarified my addiction to the negative thoughts and behaviours to getting attention comes from my childhood and getting what I needed from unhappiness! Thank you, I needed this to help shift from this incorrect thinking and move on from this crippling addiction. I had awareness, but now I have more clarity to move forward. Love the bit about complaining enough.....screaming to get attention.....then eventually getting what you want....... "Unhappiness works" and unconscious belief that things will change while I am unhappy.......😂😂😂. Unhappy states make it worse......now it all makes sense!!! The ego's addiction to unhappiness 😁😁😁😁 x x
Namaste x x
I'm so glad to stumble upon this video
