How to Build Self-Confidence | A Monk's Perspective
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- In this video, I share a simple approach that you can use to build self-confidence. The key to this is to build a track record. If you don't currently have that confidence, my suggestion would be to 1) chose a goal that you can work on and 2) follow through with it for a period of time. This consistent follow through will help you build track record which then translate to trust and confidence. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth

How's your current confidence level and what are you doing to improve it?
When it comes to confidence, in my opinion, for men, the most important thing is to not tie your self worth with what women think about you sexually, or how much money you have.
It should come from your actions of trying to improve yourself daily and be a good person.
Especially in western countries this is a big issue
@@John.W81 Thank you brother
It feels like a race against aging to do all the healthy things
You are in Pennsylvania, and so am I. I wish that I could meet you. I am blind and cannot drive, but you are so close. If you come to Easton Pennsylvania, I would love to spend a few minutes with you. You have inspired me in so many ways. Thank you for all your time well spent.
Always promising myself i will defo mediate every day from now on. Always so busy but i can manage 10 mins every day, no problem. I rarely stick to my promise as have no time to spare. Tonight i promise i will do 5 minutes every day, 5 minute's i absolutely can spare.....
Thank you as always rev nick.
Sadhu 🙏
I think self confidence comes with happiness and Joy. And just accepting youself exactly as you are and being yourself.
That is easier said than done when sometimes external programming has taught someone they are wrong or do not fit the correct pigeon hole. If someone is made fun of their whole life for their body, they go to the gym, they change their diet, but they are still a large framed person, especially for women with social “norms” and body judgements it is often hard for that person to feel safe & acceptable in their own skin. The person can go to counseling and therapy but the minute a stranger or cruel family member fat shames them, they might slide back into self hate. Healing and self acceptance is not a light switch, unfortunately. It would be nice if it was.
I need to WORK ON MYSELF SO MUCH. My life has no meaning at this moment. Just existing.😢

I was raised by Narcissistic parents. I'm disciplined and tried my best to be consistent. It is cptsd. A part from this I need to deeply heal my wounds. Thanks you for this.
Build a track record. I never thought of this before. Thank you!
Another thought: just because you couldn't stick to habits a decade ago, doesn't mean you can't start now. This happened to a friend of a friend of mine: trying to overcome disordered eating AND make your bed every day with no understanding that you need self-compassion was too much, but now a decade later this "friend" is able to set achievable goals and do them.
Never give up!
#1 only you can change your life and never ever lie to yourself.
Every time when I need it you help meeeeee❤
Wonderful! I’m glad it’s helpful 😊
It is the little goals that we have achieved that help us build up our character & greater confidence in ourselves. Thanks for the reminder! 🙏🏼
Thank you Venerable Nick. This video came at an uncanny time. Feeling shaky in my confidence despite having some small success in building up habits. I have to stop withholding giving myself the acknowledgement of my progress so far, and have faith that this shakiness will be lessen as I continue to put in effort every day.
Yes just keep getting back up my friend. It takes time 😊
As usual, this is just what I needed. Thank you, and welcome to PA!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Dear Venerable Nick, thank you so much for your teaching and sharing your insights! You are amazing.
My pleasure! Thank you 😊
Ven. NICK, as usually u gave this as I needed it! Thank u 💓 so much. With lots of Metta.
I'm so upset I missed you in Atlanta on the 25th...even had my tickets but my knees decided to lock up ( I've broken both of them, not at the same time)....oddly enough when i broke the left in 2020 is when i found you're channel you helped me get through the pain of a shattered knee cap and fractured femur. Thank you Ven. Nick....Sadhu
I’m sorry to hear that. Please have a speedy recovery. We will be back next year.
Many blessings and thank you as always 🙏🏾
Be truth to yourself ! Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu Kha !😇😇😇

You're very welcome ☺️ thank you

I’ve been using the CBT model in my counselling for over 15 years. Not only has it revolutionised my life but those of many others too. Add on mindfulness techniques and it’s a winning formula. Work and practice.
this is so simple yet it makes so much sense. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Doing a lot but it is a long and bumpy road Nick! But won't give up. Meditation and CBT help a lot. And you're helping to, so thank you again🙏
Aww I’m glad it’s helpful 😊
Thanks, Nick🐦
Like many things, confidence needs maintenance.
Simple gestures and words might be a huge boost for others' confidence
You’re welcome my friend 😊
It is good to listen to your message.... It has been a while for me
Great talk❤
Thank you Venerable Nick. I have very little self-confidence, but I don't really know why. I always feel I underperform, or could do so much better. Too much time comparing myself against others or perceived ideals. 🙏
I feel better already. Time to make a change. Thank you
Not sure I need the topic but always feel calm and centered listening to you. Well - we can all use a little more self confidence
Thank you
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you very much, Venerable Nick. This is such an important topic/lesson.
Thank you Nick, brilliant terminology; track record
Thank you Brother Nick, it's not easy to follow your advise, I will start following, thanks again for sharing.
😊😊
Thank you vulnerable nick for your wise words. I appreciate your service and support very much.
Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭! Your videos are very helpful & been watching them eversince...thank you so much! 😊
Thank you so much 🙏 Now I really understand the sense of keeping a track record and of keeping up with the small promises we give ourselves….starting small, keeping track and then building up on this confidence. I feel as if I understand the sense and the truth in it for the very first time so clearly due to your video. Thanks. So. Much.
🙏❤️Sadhu😊
With your words you inspired and reminded me what I am fighting for here. Thank you ❤
Wow!! I didn’t see that correlation… lack of confidence because you keep betraying yourself! Got work to do!!
Thank you Ahjan. Wise words.
Thanks Nick 🙏🏻
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you Nick 🙏🏼you transmit so much love and kindness through your words - I feel very calm and confident after hearing you. You must have been one of the best therapist around when you were doing this line of work!
I feel for the younger generation - the wave of conditioning via social media and the internet is super subtle and super fast!! So much to stop and think about if we could just give ourselves time to be away from all these devices and mind noise!
❤
Aww thank you for the kind words my friend 😊😊
🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
I always look forward to your videos, they make me feel good and feel good about myself. They give me inner peace and hope. Thank you Ven Nick.
Peace be with you and may Peace Prevail.
♥️♥️♥️
I think it's basically a constant battle between one's own mental projections and dhamma (what is, actions/events and objective consequences of thoses).
Your mind can't trust something that isn't verified and consistent. Positive mental projections like self motivation or self love (without proof) could work for some time until reality checks happen and give us feedback.
Trust derives from the knowledge that something/someone is reliable with the same consistent (mesurable) results.
How can one be (self) confident without that? 😅
Thank you for your wisdom! Is there a meditation program at your temple in Thailand?

Are you having group meditations or any gatherings in Pa?? Love n Light venerable Nick.
Hi Nick 🙏 - How do we deal with a elderly father who holds grudges against daughter(s) for her life failures? and for her not being (yet) successful? A father that holds a negative opinion of his own daughter and can forgive her for always keeping trying. Actually, he does not even see her trying... he just sees how she can't stop failing on "monetary" or "material" life...
- See, just because I have never been married, I have no kids, and I haven't worked in jobs for more than a year - I have no finances and was 28 years waiting for my Greencard... he doesn't forgive me for my life failures... he said I will never make it, as I am a failure and unable to hold into anything. 😢😢😢 Sighs - What should I do?! I just went back May 2024 to Nurse school university, and he has said you will never get a degree.
❤
