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.

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.

Nobody explains these issues more simply and accurately.

"My life is so fucked up" never thought I'd hear eckhart tolle say that regardless of context..I love him so 😇

Found this video at 3am, I couldn't sleep because of negative thoughts 😂

Spiritual stand up comedy. I love it.

I think he's from a different dimension...there is something extrodinary about him...i love when he laughs...its so playful...amazing person

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've heard Eckhart say the F word. My life is complete.

Oh I simply love him !! He describes us all in a way that you HAVE to laugh. And realize how ridiculous we are.

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 .

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

"grievance looking for a cause" damn it, nailed it

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.

"a grievance looking for a cause" great quote

When Eckhart does those ego dialogue bits he's as good as any stand up comic 😂

It’s so nice to watch this without Oprah interrupting

wow i never thought that a parent giving up to a crying kid is actually rewarding and encouraging unhappiness... amazing.

Eckhart Tolle is the real life Yoda

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.

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.

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.

Thank you Mr Eckhart, I struggle with anxiety and depression and I want to start being more positive.

‘What time is it? 3 am!’ I actually laughed out loud again to this.

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!

Have been trying to stop the obsessive for seven consecutive years :| .. feels like eternity .. please wish me luck

If you're reading this... you're going to stop thinking negative. Life is happening for you & not to you.

Thank you so much for being there for all of us now.

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.

We are so very richly blessed to have you in our lives🙏

it's just pleasant to be able to come here and listen..

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.

My favorite line… What time is it? Oh 3 AM i lmao everytime!!😂 great job eckhart!

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.

Struck such a deep chord with me, but luckily I'm blessed with awareness thanks to your teachings Eckhard. Such great wisdom.

100% pure, without any masks whatsoever, wonderful man. Thank you Eckhart. 🦋💕

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.

I have been binge-watched his talk since I found him in youtube. So grateful 😊

This is so good. And he is adorable.

Wonderful, thank you Eckhart. The world needs more of you!

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!

The ego is fed by negative thoughts, it is strengthened.

Love you Eckhart - you are blilliant and have a subtle sence of humour which makes me smile.

He’s awesome- his voice is calming and inviting. So accurate!

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 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

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 can listen to him over and over and over ... Thank you Eckhart for sharing your wisdom.

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.

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!

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..

Ive never heard him say the F word before!! 💜Eckhart

So many parents need to hear this

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.

just wow. how he brings it all together at the end to answer the question is just incredible

Thank you for your Divine words of wisdom.🙏👏👍💖🙏

"A grievance looking for a cause." I love that.

I LOVE YOU...❤✌ TO YOU..AND WHAT YOU DO. I'VE LISTENED TO YOU FOR YEARS NOW. AND YOU STILL KEEP MY LITE HIGH WHEN AT TIMES IT'S NOT.. MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU.

I'll see you soon, Ekhart. You're such a divine creation.

Thank you Eckhart Tolle for helping us through our awakening process for that we are immensely grateful.👍👏🙏💖👏👍🙏🌷🌹🌺💐🌸👏💖🙏

That sound in the beginning always gets me centered even before the video starts wow..

I love you ❤. You've changed my life for the better.

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.

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

Thank you Eckhart, wise man. Love you

My mother-in-law is totally addicted to negative thinking, I just ordered here a copy of one of his books 🤩💗💗💗💗💗💗

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 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 dropping the F bomb, great video and information :)

I love you Eckhart. Thank you. 🙂❤️

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." 🍎♥

That a good imitation that's about what my mind sounds like

The mans a born comedian with great wisdom and understanding ❤️

🌹Eckhart 🌹 Love Eckhart, he even cursed so spiritually... love you Eckhart. You’re a great great teacher.

I love you. I feel you in my being as you speak or as my thoughts turn to your being. I hold you in the highest love, joy, health, appreciation, acceptance, wellbeing, wholeness, regeneration, esteem, and send to you all the goodness the highest, wholy spirit offers. You remerge with my being and it is the most beautiful, spiritual dance. Thank you. Much Love.

I'm watching this in stitches at all eckharts negative thinking examples. Really helpful the way he explains it for us thank you.

EXCELLENT INFORMATION ABOUT NEGATIVE THINKING AND HOW WE CAN OVERCOME FROM NEGATIVE THINKING.

When working in retail and even the medical field, I have found that when people yell, complain and make a fool of themselves, they do get what they want. However, they wonder why everyone treats them like they're a bomb ready to explode when they enter the building. It's very hard not to get sucked into the negativity when you're around it all the time

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'm enchanted with the flowers they choose for Eckhart :)

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

I'm so glad to stumble upon this video

I am very impressed with eckhart my son told me about him

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 🐬

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!!

Awareness of Awareness....deeper and deeper

I'm curious as to where Eckhart got his wisdom from. Its a rare human that can divulge such pivotal, beautiful life changing wisdom. Was he born with this. What age did he discover his teachings, its fascinating. He's very gentle I wonder. Does he ever get angry?!?!

Wisest of men, and always with such humor too!

Happy Birthday this month You are a modern Meister Eckhart

Thank you ALL who work on this ❤

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😀

Thank You so much dearest 💐 You’re such an inspiration 🥰 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏😇

Danke für deine tollen und inspirierenden Worte, Eckhart!

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.

Thank you Mr. Tolle. ❤️

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.

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.
