3-Minute Coaching Tip "To be free of thousands of years of conditioning does not require time or future. At this moment you can step out of the movement of thought. And allow quite simply an alert presence to be there. You're not here any longer as the carrier of your personal history, but you're here as an alive field of aware presence." - Eckhart Tolle
Do you ever get caught in the vicious cycle of negative thought? When this happens do you notice that all the outcomes you think of are disastrous? This is called projecting negative outcomes onto the future. This happens because we get caught in believing that what we see and experience through our thinking is completely real and true. When you withdraw your attention from the future and focus on the very moment, none of the negative outcomes that you fear are actually occurring.
Coaching Tip: As Tolle suggests, whenever you are caught in negative thinking "...step out of the movement of thought..." and see if what you are experiencing through thought has any truth. The simplest way to step out is to take a moment, close your eyes and notice thought. Then bring your awareness just outside of the field of thoughts to the quiet space that is to the side or background of thought. Now favor that quietness until you are completely immersed in the quietness. Then notice you in the absence of conditioning. Notice that the quietness is your Self and the conditioned thinking is your not self. Now you are in the experience of Truth - that which exists only in the moment.
