Ep 128: Joy, Ease and Lightness

from Bloom Your Mind · host Marie McDonald

As I spoke at multiple events for hundreds of people this past week, I had a moments of deep gratitude for the tools available for us to use to practice presence. Some of what I teach on the podcast is content that I’ve invented and created, and other tools and concepts are things I’ve collected over time from brilliant thought leaders, authors, theorists and changemakers. In this episode, I’ll share a go-to tool that I learned almost two decades ago from Eckhart Tolle, and share the ways you can apply this part of his work- to daily life, big decisions, and the ideas that you’re trying to make real. I’ll also give examples of how I used his teaching this past week to reset for a public speaking event after getting one hour of sleep (!), to reframe my mindset after making a mistake, and how the concept of joy, ease and lightness has connected me to others in the least expected moments. What you’ll learn in this episode: Eckhart Tolle’s “Joy, Ease and Lightness” practice How focusing on the how and not the what is a hack for presence Why process instead of result thinking can calm the systemWhy pulling our mind into the present connects us to feeling happiness and joy How this practice helps us side-step habituated brain patterns Three examples of how practicing presence overcame real-time mind-drama How to connect with Marie:On the Web | The Local BloomInstagram: @the.bloom.coachAll Things Marie on LinkTreeJOIN THE BLOOM ROOM!We'll take all these ideas and apply them to our lives.
