    I suffered from major depression and crippling anxiety. I couldn't do "1 day at a time." I controlled myself by thinking just get through the next 5 minutes (or any small amount of time). It helped. This is something that took a good 14 years from my quality of life. Being able to control anxiety is difficult, but it can be done. Don't be discouraged. Peace ☮️.

      Same. The path was easier than I could’ve realized. A work in progress yes, the fact that fear has left me, not in the form of bravery, within. Freeing me from pain bodies I had no idea existed within me, causing pain, suffering and illness. Don’t think I’d still be here if I didn’t find this message from Eckart. Was lucky enough to be with him in NY State for a week in the mountains of NY in one of his events, only 200 tickets were available, how my wife and I scored them is still a mystery. I’m humbled and grateful for that time with him🙏.

    He's helping me a lot to control my anxiety. That's why I get up earlier every day and take my time paying attention to the things I do before I go to work. Getting up, feeding my pets, taking a shower, getting dressed with the clothes I have already chosen to wear the night before. Enjoying my cup of coffee, and doing all this without thinking about work.
    Then, with plenty of time, I get in my truck and enjoy the driving to work.
    I really do not think about how I think my day is going to be when I'm at work.
    I don't care about it. I leave that until I'm already there and just taking things as they come.
    This eliminates my anxiety completely.
    I can see most people on the road driving faster, rushing and I see myself the way I was before. Taking for granted everything that the present moment is giving you.

      @Round 1 It about all nows, being fulfilled , all time one work in now it the same in retirement, the last will be more difficult because the old habits to work for future. Retirement would become restless.
      It remind me a company, with unusual approach to their employees. The moment you are hired you have one day of week to be free to figure out what you will do when retirement come. It not a day off, it your retirement day that some point come and you have to know how you live it, need learn it now.
      What happened after this, everybody started enjoying their work, the production sky high. The training retirement time become irrelevant, something changed the flame of mind of everybody. ( It is the freedom to chose, freedom of not be slaved by work in life) It the most intelligent idea of organization can apply. It is life of their employees the company giving back, the reward is beyond of reward.

I have a chronic illness (hEDS) which is unrelenting daily pain.

Somone once said "The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide" Through the tears, sad and happy, through very mixed confused emotions I have tried to occupy myself. Today, over two months on, I can see light at the end of the tunnel, I no longer need or want the anti depressants and am being, being more concerned with right now, The only thing I have planned, besides work, is a climb up Mnt Snowdon on Aug 20th. That will help my body, spirit and mind more than any man made drug.

    My driving instructor told me this to prepare me for my driving test years ago. He told me think of it as the first thing I have to do as I leave the junction, next thing of the next step I’ve got to do stop at the light. This helped me rather than feeling overwhelmed with the whole journey I separated it into each task I needed to do. I did pass first time

    I'd like to share something. I know there is not one solution for all but perhaps it works for others as well. After decades of severe anxiety and doubt. Watching my life happen in a dark matrix of my own making. One day I just said a few words. One sentence, I don't know where it came from, nor do I need to know. Words I say everytime I start to think or feel in a negative way. Instantly I literally feel positivity flowing through me. I have to use the words less and less. It's simply. 'do not feed the monster'.

  • @Naoko1875

    If you loose someone or something, you were really attached to, anxiety dissolves. And suddenly you are there in the Now. And you can stay with it, because there is no more future, you want to go to. Just appreciating and enjoying the little things in the Now - that’s what life is all about.

    Probably among the *most important speeches* ever taken so far by Eckhart Tolle.
    It might sound limited because he only speaks about simple things and anxiety which are aspects of life but I assure you after having watched and listened to hundreds of speeches that this video is the most fundamental because if you listen with the *uttermost attention* you realize that he speaks about the everyday life of *all human beings* on Earth.
    Be it their family, social or professional life.

    From 9min. in this video on life and living in the moment of LIFE. My book had a sentence: use your brain, listen o your heart, and live with mission. Referring to that, The Dalai Lama gave me a foreword for that book (Results from the Heart), while also pointing that we need to connect to heart while we use our brain. That is precisely the point Tolle talk after 9 min into the video which is alignment of our existence/ life with LIFE. Since we get too occupied in what goes in our mind, such act of connection between brain and heart - or life and LIFE poses a challenge for most of us... At the end, it is execution for each to find a way...

The other comment I will make is that I read someone commenting that they resented paying to come to hear Eckhart speak, when he is a millionaire. I might remind anyone who is thinking anything similar, that the 'little gem' above is free, and for me, is worth at least a million Aussie dollars. Thank you Eckhart, I'm very grateful.

    Great vid...it's all about the journey ... Finding the bits of the Jigsaws, often time you're working on more than one all at the same time!! and it's a struggle . Little jigs pop up and divert you in between all the time....but....Enjoy the constructional period as it occurs. See it develop and see the parts become the past as they slot together and if the Jigsaw ends in perfection then great.. Sometimes peices can not fit or you can't find one suitable or get bits where they shouldn't be , but that's life... So concentrate on the peices of life in your hands just now and play, juggle and try to make the most of this.. Keep the image of the conclusion but don't let it cloud the image of that jigsaw In the making, this can often be the best bit!
    Well that's how I see it and tell the people I help to do.
