How To Practice Presence in the Workplace | The Conscious Business Challenge (Week 1)

In this week’s challenge, Eckhart gives his thoughts on bringing a greater sense of Presence to the workplace.
Too often, businesses operate under stresses that create a toxic work environment, with an excessive attachment placed on future goals and achievements. The journey between setting and achieving a goal is rarely smooth, but according to Eckhart, it is our attitude toward the obstacles that arise that makes the difference between a happy and a stressful workplace. Paraphrasing the Bhagavad Gita, Eckhart advises: “Do not be too attached to the outcome, then it is much more likely that the outcome will be good.”
WEEK 1 CHALLENGE PRACTICES
This week, we challenge you to make Presence a daily practice in your work. Try these tips to attune your working mind to present moment awareness:
1. When an obstacle arises, welcome it. Difficulties are a fact of life-it is how we respond to them that determines the quality of our experience. Eckhart suggests greeting obstacles with a spirit of acceptance, rather than one of resentment or resistance (which only creates friction in the problem-solving process).
2. Focus on the Now rather than on future outcomes. Goals are an important aspect of most businesses, but Eckhart teaches that a workplace can only be joyful if more emphasis is placed on the present moment than on attempting to arrive at some future point-noting that nothing is worth achieving if the journey is stressful.
3. Assess the intent behind your goals. As we set goals in our work-and our life in general-it’s worth considering why we are making them. Ask yourself: Is this goal driven by a higher purpose, or is it motivated by ego?

What came to my mind when he asked him about the other challenges is probably the biggest challenge, and not just in business, but what to do when things don't go how we would like them to. It's good to plan and have goals but it's also good to accept that there are uncertainties. Accepting the fact that we can't control everything is like digging the well before we get thirsty.

[@stephenflood3463]

Wether it's business goals or any other goals we want to achieve in our lives, stress, anger, or anxiety is not the way to conduct ourselves in trying to achieve them. But if we stay calm and focused when obstacles arise we have a better chance of achieving our goals. It's like having the same goal as my Irish rugby team who have worked very hard in they're build up for the world cup in France. They all have the right attitude which is only focusing on each game at hand. They're not thinking about the final, but if they get to the final then they can start believing they can win it, and to lift that trophy would be our ultimate achievement🏆

[@midnightblue2893]

Thanks for sharing Steven! Are you on a rugby team?

[@stephenflood3463]

@@midnightblue2893 No, I'm not on a rugby team lol. I'm a massive fan and have been following rugby since 2006. I've seen many players come and go in the Irish team and now we got a whole new team and are ranked no 1 in the world. South Africa won the last world cup four years ago but we beat them in the Autumn Series. The world cup starts on Friday with New Zealand v France and our first game is Saturday against Romania. If we make it out of our pool we have a good chance of getting to the final.

[@johngreen4683]

If you allow yourself to enjoy playing the game it's impossible to lose no matter what the final result of the game is, if you absolutely have to win in order to be able to enjoy the game, you'll never know the true meaning of enjoyment. 1st or last doesn't need to impact how much fun you allow yourself to have 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@stephenflood3463]

@@johngreen4683 Yes exactly John. If there's no enjoying what you do it's only stressful or a chore. The team is in a really good place mentally and physically and are enjoying themselves at the moment. It's a balance of work rest and play. Their a really good collective group of players.🙏☘️✨

[@rogerlin9602]

2:34 Not to place excess emphasis on the outcome. Be present in the doing. So you don't become stressful. Is the goal for the greater good, or egoic goal? Never react against the obstacle, no reactivity. 🦆🦆🦆🦆 Consciously deal with obstacles. What is your relationship with the obstacle? Don't seek egoic satisfaction in the doing. Let the doing, or journey, be joyful. 🦋🦋🦅🦅💖💖 What is the collective state of consciousness? It can be joyful only if you place importance on the doing now, not attach to the outcome, It is a joy to be in a conscious company. Do they love the doing and working relationships?

Jesus save me because I’m losing hope. Please come soon I don’t know how much longer I can hang on. But I’m keeping faith. I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to take care of my children and I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries. BUT I TRUST YOU LORD! My husband died years ago. At times I feel so alone. I’m a single mom. I suffered an heart attack a year ago and I’m battling lupus so my health is failing. Both of my sons are autistic. I praise you Lord even as I constantly struggling to pay rent. Help me Jesus as I struggle to buy my children’s school supplies because I want to give up. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this, but thankfully I have you Lord! I know you will provide. Faith over fear! Praise God and his son Yeshua!

[@LeePhoria]

Hi! I'm just wondering what goals are considered to be egoic and what goals are considered to have a higher purpose? If you have a business, can you have a goal to make money (as most businesses do)?

[@Listen2BAware]

That's a good question. It reflects the conditioning that having money makes one: evil, selfish, unconscious, etc. While on the other hand having money can make life comfortable, it's seen as success, and it is necessary to sustain our basic needs. If we remember that money as is everything else is a concept and we attach meaning to it, we can change our beliefs about it. Yes, we want to make money in our businesses, they are part of our creativity and purpose. We provide products and services that benefit others and we are compensated for that. Consider how the money will be utilized to continue to foster peace, growth, and love for yourself, your family, and the collective. Before working on something related to my business, I say a prayer over my efforts and when I complete a project, I do the same thing. Hope this helps.
