Day 2 - Mindfulness;
One of the most powerful tools I discovered on my journey was the ability to stop the negative thoughts in my own mind.
Discovering not only that EVERYONE experiences these negative mental communications, but also that I was the origin of these thoughts and could choose whether or not the thoughts would continue to harass me - was a revelation for me.
Eckhart Tolle was my teacher and I continue to listen to a lot of his stuff now and then when I ‘fall off the wagon’, but luckily I would say that those instances are few and far between. So much so than listening to the clip below seemed like revision even though I hadn’t heard it before.
Eckhart is a fascinating man, and I urge you to read his book ‘the power of now’.
You can also find the audio book version on YouTube I believe. Whilst lending from some of the notions of the likes of The Secret, and the concept of manifestation he provides a far more pragmatic theory which ultimately brings the power back to you, something that we as men really want.
We want to control our minds and futures as best we can - because that’s what we do best.. protect, create, conquer, grow, subserve our communities, and then lead.
