As someone who has suffered a serious period of burnout last year, i wish i had learned this lesson before. Thank you so much for spreading this message. Hoping this can prevent others from going through as much suffering as I did.
Many corporations today use the term "Sense of urgency". The term is used to mean to complete a task in what they think is a "timely manner." Although challenging a manager on this concept would probably immediately lead to someone being ostracized. I've found it a sneaky way that our culture tries to leave us in a constant sense of TENSENESS.
I needed this. I mean I NEEDED THIS ❤ I've been struggling at work so bad over the past year, to the point where I daydream daily of just ending it all. I have been so incredibly stuck and lost. But this video here.....this is the message I need. Over and over and over. Noah you are a wonderfully beautiful human being. ❤ from Canada
What I'm finding out later in my career is, you don't need too much at the expense of your happiness and health. You can stay with a decent paying job as long as you're happy everyday doing it, and see yourself doing it for a very long time! I'm in IT but I'm not happy, I'm stressed all day 24/7 even at home, but this is the only thing that I know doing, even if it pays high, I would rather go back a decade and start enrolling in a Master Builder course or being an animal vet, because I want the daily life of a house builder.
This is incredible! I'm a violinist and I know that one day, my playing will deteriorate as I age and I'll be grieving the end of a career. So important to detach my identity with my career...
If we are not our career then what are we? We spent most of our lives at work and modern society has put so much emphasis on achievement. Even the whole narrative around finding purpose and meaning through your career promotes that. I am struggling to understand what to focus on if it's not career. I feel people who might get promoted or favoured by colleagues are those who put all their eggs onto the career basket.
I’m trying to understand that too, but the closest thing I can say is that we just are. We create these stories and meanings when we just are right now as we are. Weird to grasp and explain, since i’m struggling with goals too. Life is pretty damn weird
I will try to make a video that answers this part of it more clearly. Tough to answer in short reply. But I just want you to know that I totally understand your question.
Thank you. I am in the process of retiring from my life's work. Its what I wanted to be since I was a child, and I am in my 70s now. I still think of myself as being what I have been doing. Thank you for this wisdom.
I agree with the sentiment so much. I used to work in retail where I was performing really highly in doing 30% of the store sales and used to treated with so much respect and given self-esteem and self-worth and the manager and buy you coffee and offer you a drink but when your sales were down they will treat you like shit.I think is a good way of looking at how society treats us and gives us the wrong messages which we as men judge ourself based on a performance.
Yeah after working in customer service like having to talk to people all day I realized I want a job where I can just detach from the work emotionally because I find talking to people to be exhausting. I want to work with data not people. And yes I want a job I'm not super passionate about but I'm good at so when I do screw up at work (because I will) I won't feel a personal attachment to it. Outside of work is who I am.
I lost my ability to work and it hurt so much. It tok me a while to grasp it. I am not my performance. I had to suffer i order to understand on a deeper level that this is not me.
That exact thing you described about an activity getting heavy is exactly what happens to me when I play League of Legends ( a famous video game ). I don't find joy in the game anymore because I really care about performing well in it, even if there's no good reason for me to do that. I don't know if I need to change my perspective somehow or just fukin quit it entirely.
Great to find you! In my case, I don’t struggle to tell myself this logically but I do still reject it emotionally 🧐 like I still feel small when I get criticised about my work
Thank you Noah.... I dont know in some way... like when you just talk..it feels like you are a friend right here.. patting my back and standing beside and talking and helping... or maybe the other person in me talking... like when u take short breaks of rfew seconds to breath... i breath too... as if i was talking in my brain... and i close my eyes and listen to you... it feels something like meditation... thank you so much being there Noah...
We are conditioned to this mindset at a young age. Small talk almost always begins with "So, what do you do for a living?" The craft you performed defined the status you held in society, going all the way back to nobles and peasants. Breaking this unhealthy association will take time, but it is long overdue. A similar analogy I tell people revolves around the association with sports teams. "If you are relying on the to validate your existence, you are going to be extremely disappointed most of the time."
Started at new company this week. I wanna be here for a while but I need to not put the pressure of success on myself. I have really improved my anxiety, working out, dieting, and taking healthy supplements, has helped, and im sure ill listen to your audio book agian while driving to different job sights. I Still working on myself and have a long way to go! Thanks Noah your point of view has helped a lot.
Had a passing thought Noah - you ever thought about making a TikTok? Depression is so high nowadays among younger generations and the kind of videos you make, the information you're providing is practically unheard of on the rest of the Internet. It could be interesting to see shorter versions of videos like these on that platform. Wouldn't it be crazy if emotional release became trendy on TikTok? But it's your decision of course. Im really glad I got to run into your videos Noah, I feel so much lighter and freer with each passing day.
So helpful, Noah. Thank you! Originally, the circle was about 80% of my 'you' circle. Shrunk it to 20% and moved it outside of my 'you' circle. I feel such a sense of relief. You may have saved my life.
Thank you for bringing me back to truth on this. Throughout the years of watching your videos, you have certainly made an impact on my life. Thanks Noah.
Subbed for years. Watched many many many videos but this hits home. Thats my life’s problem i feel . I’v had so much pressure for so many years. Thank you for this 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Noah you inspire the way how I see life differently for the past 2mounths since I started watching your channel...You are amazing Thank you Again ...Life is Simple
Thank you Noah. This really hits home and made me think. My circle than went to the outside...so good. Your videos are amazing and have helped me through very dark times. Thank you.
I really like this video. Its so hard to not get caught up with expecting a job to give me my self worth and to define me. There is so much pressure when a person has a career to be successful. Thank you Noah.
Thank you Noah! Your videos actually got me through a lot 6 years ago, so I thank you for that. And now that life has a whole new set of challenges, it’s really nice to see that I can still benefit from videos like this one. You’re awesome, I wish you all the best 😊
Thanks for the video. You actually explained on of the concept of Yoga. I wonder if you, yourself are able to not identify with your work and to watch the games that your ego plays. Does number of subscribers mean anything to you, do positive comments make you happy and negative make you sad? and so one. Great job, my friend!!!!
The journey for me seems to be that I notice some tension around the success of my work, then I deal with it, and feel super light about it. Then, weeks or months later, I notice another piece of tension that may be different or just a subtler layer. Then, I let go of that, and feel lighter. And it goes on and on like this. As I get more sensitive, my capacity to sense tension increases, which allows me to notice subtler tensions, which supports me to live with more lightness, calmness, and authenticity.
Thank you! ♥️🙏🏽 ..damn you made me cry lol This whole time is was trying to identify myself to what I love doing as my career. I’ve been jumping around a lot throughout my career. This whole time I thought I was supposed to be a healer. ..back to the drawing board lol Thank you for your time ♥️🙏🏽 much appreciated! Namaste 😌
This is like... I want to just work in a shop or something and do music for fun but my ego is like NO you have to get a degree and earn lots of money and people will look down on me blah blah blah 😂 I'm gonna do it anyway
Thanks Noah. I think for me, I tend to define myself by my relationships as opposed to career. I have noticed now that I am single, I often feel less than or a failure or like something is missing. Could i apply the same logic you presented here?
Thanks for your videos, most helpful I’ve ever found honestly. Could you do a video on achieving goals while being present? It’s hard to find a balance, and feels like i’m always running away to the future in my mind. Maybe dealing with pain is the root cause? Thank you!
this all sounds good, but how am i meant to 'feel great' when i cant afford food or a roof over my head due to not being able to find a job no matter how many new skills i learn or jobs i apply for. Its pretty hard to feel good when you cant financially give or provide anything. You can be alot more generous with your time once you know you dont need to be devoting it to finding work..
This can be because we identify as smart or capable in some way. Alternatively, it can be programming about how winning equals happiness. Or, perhaps, something else.
Noah. How work practically separating your career from your own you? If we do that what this other "you" would be waiting for you? How to feel fulfilled with this new "you"?
Good work Does not mean I'm good it. No, you got it all wrong. Having a job makes you good. Having a job makes you worthy of being alive. People that have no job. They are worthless and I believe it. I'm not talking about people that are children. I'm not talking about people that are retired? And I'm not talking about people that are disabled. That cannot work. I'm talking about everybody else. If you're not senior if you're not retired, if you're not a child in school. And you're not. I don't know, mentally ill or something like that. And you are capable, then what are you? I'm worthless because I'm not working. I need a job to have worth, and I need a job now. I'm going cuckoo I am going cockoo because I don't have purpose
This doesn't feel practical. The modern workplace does not allow for low-performers it resoundingly disagreees with you, Noah. In fact it demands high performance, it demands you be your career. You're only as good as your last task, your last campaign, your last sale, and ad infinitum. Sure I can convince myself that I am not how I perform and I am not my career but I can assure you, I will be out of career options very shortly! Don't get me wrong, I love the sentiment in what you're saying but if you want to afford to live in this expensive modern world you will surely be punished for your non-conformity with this way of thinking. This is especially true if you work in a very toxic workplace under very toxic management like many of us do. Wish they all thought like you, Noah.
I hear you. My perspective is that it's possible to perform well, and put in a lot of energy towards your work, without believing that your worth is based on your performance. Moreover, it's possible the quality of your work would improve because you could be more fully present with what you're doing. I'm sorry that you're working in environments that you perceive to be toxic.
@@NoahElkrief I swear I started thinking this way after hearing your video and although I put in a lot of energy towards what I work I am now detached from it to prove my worthiness. My self-concepte is not attached anymore to how I perform or how I look like or how much money do I make. I exactly feel as you said - being more relaxed helps my brain to work better and my spirit at peace. Thank you so much for the video
God doesn't love me. This God is mean, because if this start loved me. I would be working and I would be making 25 to $30 an hour, and that's what I need to live in southern California. And I'm a single woman and nobody's gonna tell me that I'm worth $20 an hour. When I know g****** good and well I am worse more than $20 an hour. Kitty, boppers make $20 in our egg McDonald's. Why should I make twenty dollars an hour when i'm worth thirty I am worth so much more and this god does not love me because this god makes me grow and beg for a job and I still can't find one I still can't find a job
You are what you do and if you're unemployed, then you're worthless. And that's what I believe. I need a job but because of my master's degree. You think I'm a good fit for doing? Why don't you work at Amazon? I'm not going to work at Amazon. That was a disaster when I did that when I was desperate. Oh AA year before the pandemic started. Yeah, that was a big disaster and then I don't know. A year or 2 after the pandemic started. I went to fast food because my landlord told me. Why don't you work in fast food? Our daughter does it well. That's great, mister landlord. Your 30-year-old daughter works in fast food. Does she have a master's degree in business administration like I do? Does she enjoy the job? And what's her skill set? Because my skill set is very different than what her skill set is. And I'm not going to do well in a fast food job. And I'm not going to do well in customer service job? Because I hate working with the public and the public is stupid
Bro, a job is a job. That's what pays your bills. I also have a masters degree and work menial jobs because I am not in my country. I refuse to put my self worth on what I do. You my friend are very insecure. You put other people down for not having a masters degree. So many do work customer service jobs too. With the mindset you have, you'll put yourself in difficulties.
I request you to suggest some books which shed more light on the same....which would help me in creating a disconnect between my career and my self worth....which will make this concept more coherent and profound.....some philosophical and psychological underpinnings.....Please reply, I need it badly....
As someone who has suffered a serious period of burnout last year, i wish i had learned this lesson before. Thank you so much for spreading this message. Hoping this can prevent others from going through as much suffering as I did.

"Ending it all", the same thoughts that ran through my head the past 2 years, and now it's coming back, due to this damn corporate career!
I am me not my job. LIFE CHANGING thanks Noah
Thank you🙏
Sometimes I need that reminder.
It's especially important if you hate your job and feel worse because of it.
That's what I'm going through I don't make much money and I think I'm not worthy enough because of that
thank you I needed this video
Good point, it's easy to define ourselves based on how much we make especially compared to other family and friends.
What I'm finding out later in my career is, you don't need too much at the expense of your happiness and health.

Its pretty hard to feel good when you cant financially give or provide anything. You can be alot more generous with your time once you know you dont need to be devoting it to finding work..
Hey Noah
I would like to talk to you about an unusual topic for my obsessive compulsive disorder. Do you still do one on one?
I have trouble losing even when we play card games. Help please!
This can be because we identify as smart or capable in some way. Alternatively, it can be programming about how winning equals happiness. Or, perhaps, something else.
I don’t have a career nor want one
✍ Shrink work circle ✍

Does she have a master's degree in business administration like I do? Does she enjoy the job? And what's her skill set? Because my skill set is very different than what her skill set is. And I'm not going to do well in a fast food job. And I'm not going to do well in customer service job? Because I hate working with the public and the public is stupid
Bro, a job is a job. That's what pays your bills. I also have a masters degree and work menial jobs because I am not in my country. I refuse to put my self worth on what I do. You my friend are very insecure. You put other people down for not having a masters degree. So many do work customer service jobs too. With the mindset you have, you'll put yourself in difficulties.
I request you to suggest some books which shed more light on the same....which would help me in creating a disconnect between my career and my self worth....which will make this concept more coherent and profound.....some philosophical and psychological underpinnings.....Please reply, I need it badly....
