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?
