Practices that may help

1. The Power of Now, In Practice
   Eckhart Tolle’s teaching is that most suffering comes from compulsive thinking about past and future, and that presence — full attention to the now — dissolves it. The practical moves are watching the thinker, feeling the inner body, accepting the present moment, and recognizing the “pain-body.” These are experiential teachings; some overlap with studied mechanisms like decentering, but Tolle’s specific framing is not itself a clinically tested protocol.
2. Negative visualization (premeditatio malorum)
   Briefly imagine losing what you have, so you stop taking it for granted and brace for setbacks.
