I've worked with visualizing an "old situation" but I replace my "old self" in the drama with my "new self" and play out a better ending which then replaces a new reality. An example is I felt defeated for a long time by domestic abuse. I replaced memories which kept running through my mind with "new memories" of how I dealt with the abuse as if I was in the Matrix easily moving out of the impact of being hit. This changed how I saw myself and changed how people reacted to me. The Ex went from being menacing to backing off and I started attracting a more balanced group of people around me.
Rose, I think people would love to watch you on video explaining this and encouraging them to also try it for every type of intimidating person. Coming directly from someone who did it so successfully, would have powerful impact I feel.
Thank you. That is something i can do. The way you took your abuse you experienced and turning it around. So thank you. And i am truly happy that things have changed for the best for you
You're so right! I've used to be more disorganized and a procrastinator. And so I always told myself in my head I was so, and people told me so. But, when I started to believe that I was organized and acted such, I became organized!! It's unreal how well this worked. Thank you.
Social Anxiety is awful and is deep rooted, it’s essentially deep rooted beliefs usually from things experienced when young. Good luck, lots of help out there.
Gregory May it’s good to be self aware but I think sometimes being too self aware turns into self obsession. Realize that people don’t think as much about you as you think about you. That has helped me tremendously.
I can't tell how true this is. I did this to myself once. When i was in 8th grade i used to see myself as an ugly and fat person. And everbody used to comment on that because i kept saying it! When i went to highschool i changed my self image. First off, i realised that i'm not that ugly and started liking myself. Started caring about my looks, my body and my hygiene... But there was still a problem with my personality. Then on 11th grade i was liked by everbody. The key sentence is "Not giving a shit." Because when you don't give a shit, they can't find anything to hurt your feelings. They know that no matter what they say, you'll be like "who are you?", "i don't care about your opinions" They know that they can't say anything bad to someone who doesn't care. Because that would be ridicolous. That would only cause them to hurt since the person who doesn't care doesn't give a damn. So what they can do is that: they can like you, they will like you... ...on 11th grade my insecurities dissapeared. I loved myself. My personality, my body, my face. I loved to person who i became. I was proud because i created that me. I remember the people around me asking: If you would change something about yourself, what would it be? I would say nothing. I wouldn't change a one thing. And they would get surprised, they used to react: "How can you love yourself so much?" They would adore me. They used to compliment me like crazy. They always talked about how mature and beautiful i was. I remember that one time that i got tired of compliments lol... that one time, my best friend was like "Are you hypnotizing them, what da fuck? The thing is I didn't even give a damn about the compliments. They weren't coming from the people i like.. They were just, you know, people. They weren't friends, they were not the people i cared about. So i didn't care what they tought... I wrote my experience to show you, guys. But also one of the reasons i wrote this is to make myself remember how changing my self image changed my life back then. I need to remember this because like he said in the video, I'm also having that idea that i'm being awkward about men i got attracted to. It's crazy, you can't guess how many potential love stories i have destroyed. But it's all about viewing. When i'm around them "I" define myself as awkward. And spread my awkwardance to them. So it's all about me. I can change it.
Awesome. I started working on this a few weeks ago, and it's CRAZY how quickly and drastically my life has been changing. Lately, I've been feeling less momentum, so this was exactly what i needed to nudge me back into gear. Great stuff bro. Keep em coming.
Hi Jericho! Yes when you get to the root there is so much potential for change. Consistancy of focus will gain momentum for you. We have all been there, you got this. Much love!
Jericho Mesa nice!!! I’m starting to implement this and am starting to feel people and how different they are treating me(in a positive way)Any updates on your situation?
@@peachyy_tea6569 I understand what your saying, you have to do and dress in a way that you feel beautiful, that causes the way you carry yourself this people see you that way. Give it a shot. 💚
Oh my gosh, Aaron! Thank you for this! I have lost 170 lbs.. going from a size 30 to a size small. I've surrendered a lot of my old beliefs about myself yet some still exist. I manifested this connection with this man...and he was exactly the type of guy i wanted to connect with...but with my negative core beliefs about being heavy, not being good enough, not pretty enough...he always affirmed me btw... never said anything remotely like that..he treated me like a beautiful angel sent to his life...but i sabotaged it because of my beliefs and then my fears kicked in and I've been making myself miserable. I have to let go of those beliefs to be who I am now. Thank you for making me aware.
Yeah. It would really build a better world if this are the kind of things that is being taught to everyone. Technical things are important, but as well as spiritual/psychological/social.. but Schools only teach technical things.
This is such a good video Aaron. I honestly find the self help industry very destructive regarding self image, because it is always about "becoming more successful" or doing this or that. Whereas I think the most important thing is to love yourself and to be at peace with yourself, then the world world around you will change, and you won't have to change for the world around you. Awesome video, thanks for the positive vibes :-)
Exactly Rosy, well said. Thats why I think its more about "letting go" of what is holding us back rather than acquiring a new idea to attach our identity to(i.e success, etc) . Thank you and Much love!
Rosy, well said. Peace begins within. Peace, joy, love, happiness, and every other loving thing begins within as well. How astute of you to see that! Very cool.
Thank you so much Aaron. On a constant basis I repeat the phrases, “that’s not who I AM anymore”, or the phrase, “I don’t have to do that anymore.” This morning those two phrases were consistently on my heart. Thank you for reaffirming the new beliefs that I AM aligning myself with. There are no coincidences!
I have had a gargantuan resistance to you and your messages. I watch your videos and know you're right and then try to pick apart your personality or video style in order to grant my ego rationale for not changing their ways. My inner does not reflect my higher, and I am causing a plethora of cognitive dissonance within my self. The point of this is to say: Thank you. I appreciate you. I must get out of my own way in order to progress. I am valuable. I love you and I appreciate you, Aaron. In light, Namaste.
I used to feel positively hyperactive and am way more grounded now...and my friends would joke "Nik's on a different frequency! Lol" and you know what, I am!! I embrace it but as an empath, it can be draining but I'm learning my boundaries xx positive vibes from Australia 🇦🇺
Finally I found someone who thinks like I do! I have always been very deep, sensitive, yet felt like there’s more here on this earth. Always having a spiritual life but finally I am seeing I was right! I love going deep.... thank you Aaron Doughty
It’s all about knowing you’re enough no matter how you look or how you act or what you have. We are all enough simply because we are here, and because we all come from the same source energy. Once you feel that deep within your soul, everything changes. It’s not easy to do, because it takes regular reinforcement over and over, but it’s amazing what happens when it finally sinks in. ❤️❤️ I’ve found that Consistently meditating is key to helping me accept this. Also, your videos and others videos and books have also been key as well. Thank you 🙏
@@astrogirl3323 lol you're so positive you attack me. He is an idiot and so are you buying into star seed crap. If you want to know the truth about what you are doing look for someone who knows not this guy.
I love this! My eldest has ADHD and is approaching his adolescent years. Since watching your videos he has become much more confident and more grounded and developing a wonderful sense of who he is. Thank God for you :)
I am going to listen to this every single day! Thank you so much for this! I just brave enough to get out of a 5 year abusive marriage, and I had lost myself. I believed all the horrible things my husband had said to me. And I am on a mission to love myself again! I have no self confidence,I am terribly depressed and anxious. But I refuse to live this way and let this horrible man define me. Now I know how to get started. I am so grateful for this video. 🤗👍
Blessings to you Desiree! You have to psychically and mentally stay away from people or memories that bring you down, avoid them, stay away. If it's impossible (if this is a family member, or from work or school environment), you can still maintain some distance and be just talking to them briefly, with very general information, do not give them any personal info (what You are doing/working/studying). Demons feed of your personal info and try to bring you down. Express NO emotion - no anger, frustration or anything like that. Demons also feed of your fear, sadness, depression, guilt, or any negative emotion you have. Do not feed Demons...
Thank you. meditated for the first time from another video, bc meditation was suggested due to recently experinced a panic attack and lots of anxiety for first time & out of no where. I didnt want medication. Ive done 3 times so far & just weeped. apparently i have shit i need to deal with; death of close friend, messed up childhood, the wreckage of many broken relationships.. right away i was able to see the anxiety is coming from meeting someone i connect with and this intense fear i have of attachment...its freaking crazy amazing how when u look inside, your inner self will show u. I hate crying bc of the intense pain i feel..but in the state im in when meditating it feels cleansing and good in away. Im looking forward to learning more!
The idea is simple. Now we just need to practice it to become it! What is it? A love being instead of a human being! The more we radiate out love from within ourselves, the more people will ping that frequency vibration to FEEL genuine love from your eternal, true self. Thanks, Aaron. I really find your videos to be quite helpful. You rock!
This is brilliant, Aaron! 🌟🙏 Great stuff! For the readers among us, a written summary: Examine why I have that self-image. Why would I have that belief? It’s probably tagged to a memory from when I was very young. Look at it from an observer point of view. Ask myself how I can perpetuate that belief about myself. I can see that that belief is illogical; it isn’t who I am now. Let go of the self-image of being overweight, for example. Take off the filter of how other people perceive us. Accept who we are in this moment.
Aaron , this is dead ON. I have lost 100lbs in the past 5 years. Changing how I viewed myself, even at the heavier weight, and treating myself with unconditional love every day. This really touches on HOW to accomplish it. Well done. Love your videos. I watch daily. 😍👍
no bullshit he’s speaking facts. just from a collection of others videos/resources I began that journey of healing wounds from my childhood and rewriting my identity awhile back. everything he speaks of genuinely works. don’t force it haha. it’s a beautiful journey. just be🖤
Tony Robbins said that people are going to act in a way that's consistent to their self-image. This is why pure willpower doesn't work most times. I've realized that my behaviors in the past were just self-fulfilling prophecies. Makes sense.
Man, this video chance my life!!!! in the same hour i saw this concpets! C-H-A-N-G-E M-Y L-I-F-E!! I try to put this ideias in my realiaty and WOOOLL... people begin to treat me LIKE A KING, cause i was seing my self as a solar person, positive etc!! THIS VIDEO CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER!! THANKS BRO!! JAH BLESS YOU!!
This was my favorite so far. I just discovered you today and ive been soaking up as much info as i could all day. Im a forever fan. You rock. Youreabout the same age as my kifs so i dont mean this in a creepy way bc im a grandma of 4, but you are just adorable. Keep up the good work honey. You are helping so many of us.
Omg thank you once again for another amazing video. I know you have an over joy feeling because you’ve healed yourself and you’re projecting that to heal others. It’s really a beautiful thing. I went through all forms of abuse as a child and I am taking my own hand into my new path. I can’t believe the drastic change in me from last year to now and I did it by myself and with the help of the universe only because I had nobody else . I keep having dreams of kids that need help and I keep having this feeling that my destiny is to help kids especially ones that go through trauma to prevent the cycle. Kids deserve healthy lives
This made me realize why I lost my self confidence with my physical attributes, I remembered I was bullied in our neighborhood and at school also, whenever someone is better or prettier, and they are being chosen or looked at more than me, it makes me feel bad and I always compare myself with others, now I know, I should love myself more so I can reflect a positive self image
Excellent video, one of your best yet. This reminds me how much I am influenced by belief. I think I'll start coaching myself again. I'll consciously be my own inner guide. Great work.
Thank you! Its one of the subjects I am most passionate about. Teaching about how beliefs create our reality and how to shift our beliefs to what we prefer. Thats great, I hope its a smooth process for you. Let us know how it goes, Much love!
These are brilliant and insiteful, and literally changing my life. I am 54 and never thought I could ever feel ok about myself from my very abusive childhood.i was ignored and neglected to the point of illness. I am so thankful for this and is really making a difference in my life. Kudos and thank you for making this possible.
Wowwww. Thanking you for answering all of my questions at the start of my day. I literally asked myself how do I actually work on the positive list & this video finally came up. After watching a few of you videos I knew your where the right person to answer my question. I wrote the 2 list of negative and positive words and definitions 4 days ago. Exactly how you explained it. I realized I was dimming my own light. A LOT. I instantly saw my change towards my children. I read the positive list before bed last night & I felt more positive. I know I have to be very persistent with my positivite list until I feel my metamorphic change eternally. I have to work hard at it until I feel it. Do to the amount of negative memories u have to read it multiple times a day.
This video has been a real stepping stone in me sorting out my issues and hang ups about myself. Me and my Fiancée are going through a really tough time as I'm not being my true self. We have been together for nearly 5 years now and he has confessed that he STILL doesn't know who I truly am I am taking action to change this and take time for myself to reflect and understand the true person I am inside. Thank you Aaron Doughty for helping and showing me how to change myself for the better and to become the real me. Thank you x
Wow, fuck me.....had a lightbulb moment....... 'children should be seen and not heard'.....brought this messed up view into adulthood and at times I feel invisible. Bloody fucked up family conditioning. Thanks Aaron, you're doing an amazing job at spreading you wisdom and light x
@10:12 "How I feel about myself is tagged to a memory" When I was younger I went to camp and this hot girl walked up to me and asked me if I was wearing a Halloween mask or if my face was really that ugly. Thank you for sharing this video~~
She may of been physically hot but she was ugly inside -as within so without.. To me if you look down on others you’re already below them!! let that fuel your fire to be your greatest version.. I’ve had countless episodes of rejection and hurt but Those that fall & get up are stronger than those that never have fallen,wiser because they have known hardship,happier because they have known sadness. peeeace😉
Thank You Aaron for all your videos and using personal examples when explains core beliefs. I was able to identify a core belief regarding “rejection” from an experience that happened when I was very young and thus makes sense why I continued to feel rejected as I developed that core belief so of course I would bring in scenarios in my life to reflect that. Amazing... Thank deep gratitude. Love you Soul Family🌟🙏🌟
I think I have everything I've ever read and every video I've ever seen this one will probably be the most life-changing it for me! A light bulb clicks on after seeing this video, I'll take what I've learned in the last 16 minutes and 22 seconds of this video and apply it to everyday life thank you!
Very true. I was overweight for half my life, food was a coping mechanism to fill in a void which I wanted unconditional love. It was the only "form" of it I "felt" genuinely. Now, as an adult I recognize that. Something I didn't know as a child. Once I realized that, it seemed like all my weight just fell away. Since I realized it was because I was lacking in self-love and it was something I've been working on.... because I recognized it, and started to work out for myself, realizing this weight wasn't me. I didn't weigh myself for months, just wanting to see things visually. It just seemed soooo easy all of a sudden. I'm 10 pounds from my goal ;4; it's a good feeling. Good luck to you, brothers, sisters, siblings whom also are struck with similar troubles... I'm thankful for these videos which teach authenticity. They really help, thank you. Peace and love.
great one man, that's been a personal struggle of mine for about 13 years. I've made some progress but I still have ways to go. thanks for bringing light to this much love always man
Hey Joshua, for most people its always in progress at some level, including myself. We are constantly redefining ourselves and always changing. Much love brother! You got this!
These videos help enormously and I'm attracting my desires rapidly but I come back to these videos to understand overcoming subconscious resistance or as I imagine you'd call it negative past momentum
This is amazing!!! Thank you for being so REALISTIC and easy to understand rather than airy fairy as others sometimes do. You provide TANGIBLE benefits & preacticaes!
such a great tip! dont hold on to negative experiences because it’s not who you are now. i feel worthless around girls i like because that’s how i was treated when i was younger. but recently i’ve had great experiences with women being attracted to me so i’m going to use those as new reference points. the past doesn’t define anybody.
Think back to when you were young and free. And be him or her. Or think about how you want to be and be that. Its simple. If your reading this means you never gave up on yourself, so BE great.
This is one of the best videos I've seen. You kept it real and were more open than many and it's awesome. I recently found your channel, but I like it so much.
Thank you Alex. Happy you see that because I think this vid has some of the best quality content I have made yet. Didn't know how people would respond but am happy to hear people are liking it. Much love and welcome to the channel!
This is very important man!! It explains to me why every time I change myself n start viewing myself differently it only takes couple of weeks till I relapse n fall into that negative image I have about myself!! Thanks and peace from Saudi Arabia
Take true to who you are and don't let the negetive of others say you you all or who you be. They don't like to bad. Just work on yourself change your self image for yourself and no one else they don't matter.
Awesome video bro. I'm In the process of taking a step away from my ego and doing a self evaluation of who I am. I am also learning to love myself, and even though it's still a fairly new process, alot of negative habits have just fallen off. I'm loving this new me in progress. Stay positive bro, and keep encouraging 🤙
I'm so glad I found another Lightworker. I was so lost and thought I may have been delusional but you are saying everything that I was preaching 2 years ago and no one was listening to me so I went dark and negative and now I'm back!! I'm not crazy after all, thank you bro!
Yes, it really is all about how you view yourself. It all starts from there. However, I'm still having trouble in applying this practically. Whenever I TRULY open myself and let go of various things that hold me back, I see progress immediately, but it's difficult to maintain the pattern of lifting yourself up on a daily basis. Takes a lot of "ego fighting" I guess.
Just in case I never said this before, I have been meaning to do it! Aaron I pray to a higher power that you are protected and that you live a long, healthy, happy, prosperous life ! There are lots of people in the world who are very nice and are trying to help people BUT you have an extra special touch that makes you stand out from the pack. Sending you a big hug for the light you shine on the computerized world of self help ! I know I am not alone in saying this but it's so true... I am very grateful to have found you on UA-cam - Joanie
you are incredable when i watched this video i began to be aware of why i felt not good enough in the presence of a woman and i finaly know now where it comes from also a memory and i felt myself change in the video amazing thank you for making this video :)
Phenomenal video, there's a book titled Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz and it dives really deep on the concept of self image, written by a plastic surgeon and his experiences with his patients' self image changes as well as cases where cases where after they looked 'beautiful' they still had the same emotional scarring and thinking patterns. Amazing book, will change your life and expose all of the negative paradigm that you currently live in
Thank you times a million. I have been on a quest to find inner peace and break the cycles I continued to put myself in. Your verbiage and intellect is exactly the equation I needed to break things down within myself and truly stop the blocks that free flow positive energy 1000 percent of the time.
I had to literally click on different videos to SOMEWHAT UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT I LIKE THAT FRONT Aaron WAS PULLING OFF WHEN HE WAS DEMONSTRATING IT 😆
Hi Aaron! ... this is what i ve started doing years ago when i was based in London ...and one day i was wondering in Harrods when in book shelves i saw a meditation book that i decided to have and dogs i started meditate every day on each chapter. ..since then my life ... my view of life changed that soon after i was able to dare more to see much clear what to do in life. ..and i done so much i was able to go go to the art school. .. to teach what i learnt with meditation attract people that needed my Healing and directions help. ..and of course i felt more confident in that sparkling new dimension. .. but then i ve decided to come back to Italy north Sardinia .. to help my mother x over 10 years until the end. .. what happened at one point i got stuck my life was the reversed of a medal. .. it was soon after that i discovered that i was perseguited and surrounded with negative ... evil people and wans't my immagination but was clear. . i was under spell x a million way.. not only me but anything concern me ...so it started my calvary... since over 15 years ago nothing going well. ..even i prayng God every day and night hoping in miracols. .. I wonted to tell this. . and share. .with you that may come. useful to you. ..i mean in life. .. God bless!
Aaorn, I am 39 now. i have this problem when i am insecure i create this different persona just so the person can accept me. The true me, i am very introvert, a homebody, love to travel, and not with a career i like. When i go out with my friend and there is a crowd, i am very anti social. So if someone approaches me i lie about everything myself just to be accepted or wowed. WHAT can i do to stop this? It has become a habit i do for the past 10 years.
When you invented this way of being you just wanted to be included.. what do you want now, be included or be yourself? And don't believe that you are shy, maybe you just don't know yourself enough
As a ADHD kid I always believed it to be more of a gift and so it was. Aaron keep doing what you do you are helping me finally bring out these same ideas to others with just a button click which is so amazing
You are amazing. You come from a place of understanding - conceptually and experientially...not just recycling/ regurgitating learned information. You're being an example of how to experience pure information/ channeling/ or just being connected. Thank you for being an example for us, so we can see and eventually experience for ourselves. Deeply appreciated. ✨🙏🏽✨
SPOT ON!! Especially that bit about weight. Most people who I've known who wanted to lose weight,failed to succeed due to not letting that image of being overweight go. Just like you said "temporary diet" that is why many lose it and then gain it back. Its more a way of life,a mindset!! Lovely video!
I've taught middle school for the last several years. My colleagues and I would talk about how much of our own reference points for how we view the world came from the experiences we had in middle school because it's a time when you're experiencing things so deeply from this heightened emotional state. I feel you on that!
Most ppl treat me opposite of how I think bc I don’t do a lot of negative things so they act like I’m sheltered, have never traveled, cursed, or never heard cursing etc. I’m almost 50 and just bc I haven’t done a lot of scandalous things they treat me like I’m a teenager. I’ve traveled to Canada, New York, Los Angeles etc. Sometimes ppl want to force who they want u be and not bc u think that way. I do don’t believe that everything deals with how u feel about who u are it’s ppl and their perceptions. There are children who are abused from the time their kids so I guess they feel like being abused. Ppl project their negative crap onto others who they see as less then.
aaron, this one is powerful! makes sense now that the more i value and love my self the universe, and God the more i abundantly share this love energy to the people around me, and like you said, the people around me feels the energy and it bounces back to me. love, happiness, wealth and health just surrounds my reality, has been surrounding my reality. thanks for the vid sir! btw i live in vegas too hopefuly i bump with you one day lots of questions i wanna ask you!
This video was so helpful to me. After a lot of therapy and searching for videos and answers about this topic, watching Ted Talks, etc, this video explained things in a way that made sense and got to the root of a lot of things I've been struggling with for a long time. This gets to the root of it and doesn't just offer some bullshit quick tips like a lot of videos I've seen. Can't tell you how much this helps me. Thank you so much for posting this!
Thanks for this. I always think that there's something inherently wrong with me to make people dislike me so. I used to be confident when I was a child, but it seems like my parents (especially my father) discouraged me in that and sowed seeds of doubt in my self and my abilities. I think he was ashamed of me for being myself and he would criticise and belittle everything I do. And being young, with no other role models, I started to believe that what they are doing is the right way for me and internalised everything. So the moment I entered high school I was a nervous wreck. The whole school picked on me because i was weak and vulnerable. Hence I didn't learn anything as I was just trying to survive school and I always doubted my abilities to succeed anyway. Primary school = class clown High school = push over weak kid that everyone picked on. As such my life is ruined. I have no job, no life, still live with my parents. I'm 27 now... What you said, does encourage me. I always think, what if this person thinks i'm weird (I end up acting weird and tense anyway). Anywhere I go I always feel like i'm being monitored on everything I do... I guess If I had more achievements in my life I could feel better about myself. Sorry I'm just rambling now...
Thank you for this video, and your other great videos. One thing I would add - a very important thing when it comes to this concept - is making sure that the new you that you want to be is TRUE to your actual personality. I consider myself to be decent in making personal change. However, I have spent so much time and energy in the past trying to adopt some characteristics that were not authentic to my personality. And, of course, I ran into problems. Learning to accept your authentic personality is huge, and I have recently begun to do that, and I'm soooo happy for it. I still make changes, but only if they are in alignment with who I really am.
That's very true! We had experiences in the past that affect us so much and shape our self image...My husband had a similar experience...even more painful for his young mind ( then age 15) that it changed his perception in a wrong way (for many years)...THANK YOU FOR A MARVELLOUS LECTURE...
Thanks Aaron,,, I love your voice , the way you explain, using simple words, I'm so glad that you have a God given ADHD tool, we all are give tools to go through life, with your tools you make people all over the world happy and a big change in this world too. I am very proud of you and anyone who listens to you,,be blessed,
Your videos are giving me a new found hope in life and understanding it, understanding myself. Breaking habits is hard. Especially mental patterns that you’ve worked with your entire life. But I’ve always believed that the mind is the master and if you just train it right, it can serve you for anything you want; positive or negative. The journey to mastering your mind is a tough one. An uncomfortable one. The thought of being able to change my mind is the only thing that gives me hope. People have let me down profusely and I have let others down in the same way. So I guess the only place to expect anything from is yourself. And I mean this without sounding jaded or negative. People are great but you have to get to a place of self reliance to truly trust yourself again after believing your entire life that you’re not good enough. I hope everyone finds their peace. 🙏🏼 thanks for your videos again!!
I agree with everything in this video but just a word of caution about the "self acceptance" advice that we should all be aware of. The whole idea here is that we are limited the beliefs we hold regarding who we think we are, since these beliefs ultimately become part of our self image and identity. So true change only comes when we get to the roots of WHY we hold certain limiting beliefs about ourselves, analyzing and deconstructing certain life events and experiences to realize the (often ridiculous) reasons why we ended up thinking that way. And that's why this advice about "self acceptance" can be a dangerous one... Such advice may lead us to justify, rather than challenge, some of our self-limiting beliefs, dismissing them as fundamental aspects of who we are that we simply have come to terms with rather than actively work on and change. Taking the example that Aaron brought up, if you have this belief that "I'm akward around women" you need to sit down and take the time to figure out where this belief came from and then use that awareness to help you overcome it. You are NOT supposed to just accept your akwardness around women as "who you are" and try to move on... You need to FIGHT that limiting belief with everything you've got if you want to get over it!! Hope that makes sense.
i have to admit i don't care about what people think until i am all alone and i have no one but me, myself and I ... very strong-willed ideas seem to lead to isolation
You are a great teacher I understand exactly what you are saying and when I think about it you are so right. Thank you you are really helping me you rock
I've worked with visualizing an "old situation" but I replace my "old self" in the drama with my "new self" and play out a better ending which then replaces a new reality. An example is I felt defeated for a long time by domestic abuse. I replaced memories which kept running through my mind with "new memories" of how I dealt with the abuse as if I was in the Matrix easily moving out of the impact of being hit. This changed how I saw myself and changed how people reacted to me. The Ex went from being menacing to backing off and I started attracting a more balanced group of people around me.
Rose, I think people would love to watch you on video explaining this and encouraging them to also try it for every type of intimidating person. Coming directly from someone who did it so successfully, would have powerful impact I feel.
Thank you. That is something i can do. The way you took your abuse you experienced and turning it around. So thank you. And i am truly happy that things have changed for the best for you
Super proud of you for getting out of that experience. It’s not easy. And to find a tool to help yourself heal from the experience…… admirable ❤
these videos are changing my life.
truth
Same
it makes sense very good explained
i know right, i feel like he's a miracle that we have him here with us, he's genuine love in human form
Kmi Wnger you go girlllllll!!!!!!!
You're so right! I've used to be more disorganized and a procrastinator. And so I always told myself in my head I was so, and people told me so. But, when I started to believe that I was organized and acted such, I became organized!! It's unreal how well this worked. Thank you.
Amazing!!
Yes ...this happened to m also
You are a Spiritual Being In A Physical Body.
Patrick Saunders I am a soul. Yay. ❤❤
I think we're ALL spiritual beings in physical bodies
I'm a spiritual being having a temporary human experience.
Patrick Saunders definitely a light worker!
Weird Guy lmaooo @ the Victoria justice reference
I'm a nervous wreck walking "into a room", and doing my best to hide that while acting "normal"... god knows what the hell they see or what comes off!
Gregory May
God knows y it just put your name lol
Gregory May just love yourself that's it he has spoken the truth ok.... I wish you good luck
Social Anxiety is awful and is deep rooted, it’s essentially deep rooted beliefs usually from things experienced when young. Good luck, lots of help out there.
Gregory May it’s good to be self aware but I think sometimes being too self aware turns into self obsession. Realize that people don’t think as much about you as you think about you. That has helped me tremendously.
I can't tell how true this is. I did this to myself once. When i was in 8th grade i used to see myself as an ugly and fat person. And everbody used to comment on that because i kept saying it!
When i went to highschool i changed my self image. First off, i realised that i'm not that ugly and started liking myself. Started caring about my looks, my body and my hygiene... But there was still a problem with my personality.
Then on 11th grade i was liked by everbody.
The key sentence is "Not giving a shit." Because when you don't give a shit, they can't find anything to hurt your feelings. They know that no matter what they say, you'll be like "who are you?", "i don't care about your opinions"
They know that they can't say anything bad to someone who doesn't care. Because that would be ridicolous. That would only cause them to hurt since the person who doesn't care doesn't give a damn.
So what they can do is that: they can like you, they will like you...
...on 11th grade my insecurities dissapeared. I loved myself. My personality, my body, my face. I loved to person who i became. I was proud because i created that me.
I remember the people around me asking: If you would change something about yourself, what would it be?
I would say nothing. I wouldn't change a one thing. And they would get surprised, they used to react: "How can you love yourself so much?"
They would adore me. They used to compliment me like crazy. They always talked about how mature and beautiful i was. I remember that one time that i got tired of compliments lol... that one time, my best friend was like "Are you hypnotizing them, what da fuck?
The thing is I didn't even give a damn about the compliments. They weren't coming from the people i like.. They were just, you know, people. They weren't friends, they were not the people i cared about.
So i didn't care what they tought...
I wrote my experience to show you, guys. But also one of the reasons i wrote this is to make myself remember how changing my self image changed my life back then.
I need to remember this because like he said in the video, I'm also having that idea that i'm being awkward about men i got attracted to. It's crazy, you can't guess how many potential love stories i have destroyed. But it's all about viewing. When i'm around them "I" define myself as awkward. And spread my awkwardance to them. So it's all about me. I can change it.
Awesome. I started working on this a few weeks ago, and it's CRAZY how quickly and drastically my life has been changing. Lately, I've been feeling less momentum, so this was exactly what i needed to nudge me back into gear. Great stuff bro. Keep em coming.
Hi Jericho! Yes when you get to the root there is so much potential for change. Consistancy of focus will gain momentum for you. We have all been there, you got this. Much love!
Does this change the way u look???^_^
Jericho Mesa nice!!! I’m starting to implement this and am starting to feel people and how different they are treating me(in a positive way)Any updates on your situation?
@@peachyy_tea6569 I understand what your saying, you have to do and dress in a way that you feel beautiful, that causes the way you carry yourself this people see you that way. Give it a shot. 💚
Oh my gosh, Aaron! Thank you for this! I have lost 170 lbs.. going from a size 30 to a size small. I've surrendered a lot of my old beliefs about myself yet some still exist. I manifested this connection with this man...and he was exactly the type of guy i wanted to connect with...but with my negative core beliefs about being heavy, not being good enough, not pretty enough...he always affirmed me btw... never said anything remotely like that..he treated me like a beautiful angel sent to his life...but i sabotaged it because of my beliefs and then my fears kicked in and I've been making myself miserable. I have to let go of those beliefs to be who I am now. Thank you for making me aware.
These ideas should be taught in school. Incredible video. Love this channel.
Love it great idea let's hope some school teachers/ educators make it to this Chanel :)
I have plans to tell my teachers about this! Lets spread this people!👊
I have been working in education for 15 years and could not agree with you more!
Absolutely!
Yeah. It would really build a better world if this are the kind of things that is being taught to everyone. Technical things are important, but as well as spiritual/psychological/social.. but Schools only teach technical things.
This is such a good video Aaron. I honestly find the self help industry very destructive regarding self image, because it is always about "becoming more successful" or doing this or that. Whereas I think the most important thing is to love yourself and to be at peace with yourself, then the world world around you will change, and you won't have to change for the world around you. Awesome video, thanks for the positive vibes :-)
Exactly Rosy, well said. Thats why I think its more about "letting go" of what is holding us back rather than acquiring a new idea to attach our identity to(i.e success, etc) . Thank you and Much love!
Rosy that's dope! im loving this channel💕💕
Rosy, well said. Peace begins within. Peace, joy, love, happiness, and every other loving thing begins within as well. How astute of you to see that! Very cool.
Great comment man. Couldn't have said it better :)
Thank you so much Aaron. On a constant basis I repeat the phrases, “that’s not who I AM anymore”, or the phrase, “I don’t have to do that anymore.” This morning those two phrases were consistently on my heart. Thank you for reaffirming the new beliefs that I AM aligning myself with. There are no coincidences!
I have had a gargantuan resistance to you and your messages. I watch your videos and know you're right and then try to pick apart your personality or video style in order to grant my ego rationale for not changing their ways. My inner does not reflect my higher, and I am causing a plethora of cognitive dissonance within my self. The point of this is to say: Thank you. I appreciate you. I must get out of my own way in order to progress. I am valuable. I love you and I appreciate you, Aaron.
In light, Namaste.
I feel everything you just wrote. May we progress in our journeys.🙌
I used to feel positively hyperactive and am way more grounded now...and my friends would joke "Nik's on a different frequency! Lol" and you know what, I am!! I embrace it but as an empath, it can be draining but I'm learning my boundaries xx positive vibes from Australia 🇦🇺
Finally I found someone who thinks like I do! I have always been very deep, sensitive, yet felt like there’s more here on this earth. Always having a spiritual life but finally I am seeing I was right! I love going deep.... thank you Aaron Doughty
It’s all about knowing you’re enough no matter how you look or how you act or what you have. We are all enough simply because we are here, and because we all come from the same source energy. Once you feel that deep within your soul, everything changes. It’s not easy to do, because it takes regular reinforcement over and over, but it’s amazing what happens when it finally sinks in. ❤️❤️ I’ve found that Consistently meditating is key to helping me accept this. Also, your videos and others videos and books have also been key as well. Thank you 🙏
i love how easily you explain everything :)
+Amanikins I like your username, it rhymes with Anakin hahaha. The Force is with you hahaha.

I love this! My eldest has ADHD and is approaching his adolescent years. Since watching your videos he has become much more confident and more grounded and developing a wonderful sense of who he is. Thank God for you :)
I am going to listen to this every single day! Thank you so much for this! I just brave enough to get out of a 5 year abusive marriage, and I had lost myself. I believed all the horrible things my husband had said to me. And I am on a mission to love myself again! I have no self confidence,I am terribly depressed and anxious. But I refuse to live this way and let this horrible man define me. Now I know how to get started. I am so grateful for this video. 🤗👍
Blessings to you Desiree! You have to psychically and mentally stay away from people or memories that bring you down, avoid them, stay away. If it's impossible (if this is a family member, or from work or school environment), you can still maintain some distance and be just talking to them briefly, with very general information, do not give them any personal info (what You are doing/working/studying). Demons feed of your personal info and try to bring you down. Express NO emotion - no anger, frustration or anything like that. Demons also feed of your fear, sadness, depression, guilt, or any negative emotion you have. Do not feed Demons...
Thank you. meditated for the first time from another video, bc meditation was suggested due to recently experinced a panic attack and lots of anxiety for first time & out of no where. I didnt want medication. Ive done 3 times so far & just weeped. apparently i have shit i need to deal with; death of close friend, messed up childhood, the wreckage of many broken relationships.. right away i was able to see the anxiety is coming from meeting someone i connect with and this intense fear i have of attachment...its freaking crazy amazing how when u look inside, your inner self will show u. I hate crying bc of the intense pain i feel..but in the state im in when meditating it feels cleansing and good in away. Im looking forward to learning more!
The idea is simple. Now we just need to practice it to become it! What is it? A love being instead of a human being! The more we radiate out love from within ourselves, the more people will ping that frequency vibration to FEEL genuine love from your eternal, true self. Thanks, Aaron. I really find your videos to be quite helpful. You rock!
This is brilliant, Aaron! 🌟🙏 Great stuff!
For the readers among us, a written summary: Examine why I have that self-image. Why would I have that belief? It’s probably tagged to a memory from when I was very young. Look at it from an observer point of view. Ask myself how I can perpetuate that belief about myself. I can see that that belief is illogical; it isn’t who I am now. Let go of the self-image of being overweight, for example. Take off the filter of how other people perceive us. Accept who we are in this moment.
Super helpful. Thank you ❤
Aaron , this is dead ON. I have lost 100lbs in the past 5 years. Changing how I viewed myself, even at the heavier weight, and treating myself with unconditional love every day. This really touches on HOW to accomplish it.
Well done. Love your videos. I watch daily. 😍👍
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will never know how much you helped me. God bless you and your loved ones.
These videos build on eachother and intertwine so well im improving my life by following Aaron.
no bullshit he’s speaking facts. just from a collection of others videos/resources I began that journey of healing wounds from my childhood and rewriting my identity awhile back. everything he speaks of genuinely works. don’t force it haha. it’s a beautiful journey. just be🖤
Tony Robbins said that people are going to act in a way that's consistent to their self-image. This is why pure willpower doesn't work most times. I've realized that my behaviors in the past were just self-fulfilling prophecies. Makes sense.
Man, this video chance my life!!!! in the same hour i saw this concpets!
C-H-A-N-G-E M-Y L-I-F-E!! I try to put this ideias in my realiaty and WOOOLL... people begin to treat me LIKE A KING, cause i was seing my self as a solar person, positive etc!! THIS VIDEO CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER!!
THANKS BRO!! JAH BLESS YOU!!
This was my favorite so far. I just discovered you today and ive been soaking up as much info as i could all day. Im a forever fan. You rock. Youreabout the same age as my kifs so i dont mean this in a creepy way bc im a grandma of 4, but you are just adorable. Keep up the good work honey. You are helping so many of us.
When you believe in something it becomes your reality. You can be anyone you want.
You are simply amazing Aaron.I thank God for your presence in this world.
Omg thank you once again for another amazing video. I know you have an over joy feeling because you’ve healed yourself and you’re projecting that to heal others. It’s really a beautiful thing. I went through all forms of abuse as a child and I am taking my own hand into my new path. I can’t believe the drastic change in me from last year to now and I did it by myself and with the help of the universe only because I had nobody else . I keep having dreams of kids that need help and I keep having this feeling that my destiny is to help kids especially ones that go through trauma to prevent the cycle. Kids deserve healthy lives
You should be working with Kids then. You feel it and it comes in your dream. Wish you well. You can do it
This made me realize why I lost my self confidence with my physical attributes, I remembered I was bullied in our neighborhood and at school also, whenever someone is better or prettier, and they are being chosen or looked at more than me, it makes me feel bad and I always compare myself with others, now I know, I should love myself more so I can reflect a positive self image
Excellent video, one of your best yet. This reminds me how much I am influenced by belief. I think I'll start coaching myself again. I'll consciously be my own inner guide. Great work.
Thank you! Its one of the subjects I am most passionate about. Teaching about how beliefs create our reality and how to shift our beliefs to what we prefer. Thats great, I hope its a smooth process for you. Let us know how it goes, Much love!
These are brilliant and insiteful, and literally changing my life. I am 54 and never thought I could ever feel ok about myself from my very abusive childhood.i was ignored and neglected to the point of illness. I am so thankful for this and is really making a difference in my life. Kudos and thank you for making this possible.
Wowwww. Thanking you for answering all of my questions at the start of my day. I literally asked myself how do I actually work on the positive list & this video finally came up. After watching a few of you videos I knew your where the right person to answer my question.
I wrote the 2 list of negative and positive words and definitions 4 days ago. Exactly how you explained it. I realized I was dimming my own light. A LOT. I instantly saw my change towards my children. I read the positive list before bed last night & I felt more positive. I know I have to be very persistent with my positivite list until I feel my metamorphic change eternally. I have to work hard at it until I feel it. Do to the amount of negative memories u have to read it multiple times a day.
I feel so much at peace now. I have an important exam next month and I feel a tiny bit hopeful. Thank you Aaron .
This video has been a real stepping stone in me sorting out my issues and hang ups about myself. Me and my Fiancée are going through a really tough time as I'm not being my true self. We have been together for nearly 5 years now and he has confessed that he STILL doesn't know who I truly am
I am taking action to change this and take time for myself to reflect and understand the true person I am inside.
Thank you Aaron Doughty for helping and showing me how to change myself for the better and to become the real me.
Thank you x
This is one of the few videos that actually helps in self image. Cheers man
Wow, fuck me.....had a lightbulb moment.......
'children should be seen and not heard'.....brought this messed up view into adulthood and at times I feel invisible.
Bloody fucked up family conditioning.
Thanks Aaron, you're doing an amazing job at spreading you wisdom and light

@10:12 "How I feel about myself is tagged to a memory"
When I was younger I went to camp and this hot girl walked up to me and asked me if I was wearing a Halloween mask or if my face was really that ugly. Thank you for sharing this video~~
F
What the fuck ?? That's so nasty. U r a divine being. I am glad that this video helped u.
She may of been physically hot but she was ugly inside -as within so without..
To me if you look down on others you’re already below them!!
let that fuel your fire to be your greatest version.. I’ve had countless episodes of rejection and hurt but Those that fall & get up are stronger than those that never have fallen,wiser because they have known hardship,happier because they have known sadness.
peeeace😉
Thank You Aaron for all your videos and using personal examples when explains core beliefs. I was able to identify a core belief regarding “rejection” from an experience that happened when I was very young and thus makes sense why I continued to feel rejected as I developed that core belief so of course I would bring in scenarios in my life to reflect that. Amazing... Thank deep gratitude. Love you Soul Family🌟🙏🌟
I think I have everything I've ever read and every video I've ever seen this one will probably be the most life-changing it for me! A light bulb clicks on after seeing this video, I'll take what I've learned in the last 16 minutes and 22 seconds of this video and apply it to everyday life thank you!
Very true. I was overweight for half my life, food was a coping mechanism to fill in a void which I wanted unconditional love. It was the only "form" of it I "felt" genuinely. Now, as an adult I recognize that. Something I didn't know as a child. Once I realized that, it seemed like all my weight just fell away. Since I realized it was because I was lacking in self-love and it was something I've been working on.... because I recognized it, and started to work out for myself, realizing this weight wasn't me. I didn't weigh myself for months, just wanting to see things visually. It just seemed soooo easy all of a sudden. I'm 10 pounds from my goal ;4; it's a good feeling. Good luck to you, brothers, sisters, siblings whom also are struck with similar troubles... I'm thankful for these videos which teach authenticity. They really help, thank you. Peace and love.
great one man, that's been a personal struggle of mine for about 13 years. I've made some progress but I still have ways to go. thanks for bringing light to this much love always man
Hey Joshua, for most people its always in progress at some level, including myself. We are constantly redefining ourselves and always changing. Much love brother! You got this!
How is your channel not exploding with subscribers? So much good stuff!
Cause he is full of it
Not everyone is quite ready for it. All in due time
He made it!
These videos help enormously and I'm attracting my desires rapidly but I come back to these videos to understand overcoming subconscious resistance or as I imagine you'd call it negative past momentum
This is amazing!!! Thank you for being so REALISTIC and easy to understand rather than airy fairy as others sometimes do. You provide TANGIBLE benefits & preacticaes!
such a great tip! dont hold on to negative experiences because it’s not who you are now. i feel worthless around girls i like because that’s how i was treated when i was younger. but recently i’ve had great experiences with women being attracted to me so i’m going to use those as new reference points. the past doesn’t define anybody.
Thanks Aaron! Everyone has always heard that you can't love anyone until you love yourself. This is the first time that it actually made sense to me.
Think back to when you were young and free. And be him or her. Or think about how you want to be and be that. Its simple. If your reading this means you never gave up on yourself, so BE great.
9:36 save your time :)
Thanks man
Ohh lol man thanks

oh thanks dude)
This is one of the best videos I've seen. You kept it real and were more open than many and it's awesome. I recently found your channel, but I like it so much.
Thank you Alex. Happy you see that because I think this vid has some of the best quality content I have made yet. Didn't know how people would respond but am happy to hear people are liking it. Much love and welcome to the channel!
Aaron Doughty this video is f@*king amazing, thankful I found this, a piece to the puzzle I have been seeking all my life
Yes cause he teaches us egoless confidence, the real coolness 😀
This is very important man!! It explains to me why every time I change myself n start viewing myself differently it only takes couple of weeks till I relapse n fall into that negative image I have about myself!! Thanks and peace from Saudi Arabia
Take true to who you are and don't let the negetive of others say you you all or who you be. They don't like to bad. Just work on yourself change your self image for yourself and no one else they don't matter.
Awesome video bro. I'm In the process of taking a step away from my ego and doing a self evaluation of who I am. I am also learning to love myself, and even though it's still a fairly new process, alot of negative habits have just fallen off. I'm loving this new me in progress. Stay positive bro, and keep encouraging 🤙
I'm so glad I found another Lightworker. I was so lost and thought I may have been delusional but you are saying everything that I was preaching 2 years ago and no one was listening to me so I went dark and negative and now I'm back!! I'm not crazy after all, thank you bro!
I appreciate the fact that you speak slowly enough to understand what you are saying. Some other coaches just rant after a cup of coffee and agh...
Yes, it really is all about how you view yourself. It all starts from there. However, I'm still having trouble in applying this practically. Whenever I TRULY open myself and let go of various things that hold me back, I see progress immediately, but it's difficult to maintain the pattern of lifting yourself up on a daily basis. Takes a lot of "ego fighting" I guess.
I can feel u
Just in case I never said this before, I have been meaning to do it! Aaron I pray to a higher power that you are protected and that you live a long, healthy, happy, prosperous life ! There are lots of people in the world who are very nice and are trying to help people BUT you have an extra special touch that makes you stand out from the pack. Sending you a big hug for the light you shine on the computerized world of self help ! I know I am not alone in saying this but it's so true... I am very grateful to have found you on UA-cam - Joanie
you are incredable when i watched this video i began to be aware of why i felt not good enough in the presence of a woman and i finaly know now where it comes from also a memory and i felt myself change in the video amazing thank you for making this video :)
Phenomenal video, there's a book titled Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz and it dives really deep on the concept of self image, written by a plastic surgeon and his experiences with his patients' self image changes as well as cases where cases where after they looked 'beautiful' they still had the same emotional scarring and thinking patterns. Amazing book, will change your life and expose all of the negative paradigm that you currently live in
Thank-you once again Aaron. 🙏🏾👌🏽💫😃🌟
I watch a lots of Law Of Attraction coaches videos but you're the only one to explain this easily... Not using too heavy sentences eva☺💗💗
I am so affected by reactions and assumptions. I need to not cares
Timothy's dog, try reading the book, The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. It’s a Godsend.
Thank you times a million. I have been on a quest to find inner peace and break the cycles I continued to put myself in. Your verbiage and intellect is exactly the equation I needed to break things down within myself and truly stop the blocks that free flow positive energy 1000 percent of the time.
You must also deeply forgive it . forgiving all situations will release you
I had to literally click on different videos to SOMEWHAT UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT I LIKE THAT FRONT Aaron WAS PULLING OFF WHEN HE WAS DEMONSTRATING IT 😆
You are NAILING it my friend!!!! 🙏
Hi Aaron! ...
this is what i ve started doing years ago when i was based
in London ...and one day i was wondering in Harrods when in book shelves i saw
a meditation book that i decided to have and dogs i started meditate every day on each chapter. ..since then my life ...
my view of life changed that
soon after i was able to dare more
to see much clear what to do in life. ..and i done so much i was able to go go to the art school. ..
to teach what i learnt with meditation attract people that needed my Healing and directions
help. ..and of course i felt more confident in that sparkling new
dimension. ..
but then i ve decided to come back to Italy north Sardinia ..
to help my mother x over 10 years until the end. ..
what happened at one point
i got stuck my life was the reversed of a medal. ..
it was soon after that i discovered
that i was perseguited and surrounded with negative ...
evil people and wans't my immagination but was clear. .
i was under spell x a million way..
not only me but anything concern me ...so it started my calvary...
since over 15 years ago nothing going well. ..even i prayng God
every day and night hoping in miracols. ..
I wonted to tell this. . and share. .with you that may come.
useful to you. ..i mean in life. ..
God bless!
Dogs is wrong ..
In automatic
I love your beard and mustache. ☮️💗🙏🏽 Great life-changing class! You are my “Favorite Spiritual Teacher.”
Jane
Aaorn, I am 39 now. i have this problem when i am insecure i create this different persona just so the person can accept me. The true me, i am very introvert, a homebody, love to travel, and not with a career i like. When i go out with my friend and there is a crowd, i am very anti social. So if someone approaches me i lie about everything myself just to be accepted or wowed. WHAT can i do to stop this? It has become a habit i do for the past 10 years.
When you invented this way of being you just wanted to be included.. what do you want now, be included or be yourself? And don't believe that you are shy, maybe you just don't know yourself enough
Study "mindfulless "---power of now book from eckhart tolle
As a ADHD kid I always believed it to be more of a gift and so it was. Aaron keep doing what you do you are helping me finally bring out these same ideas to others with just a button click which is so amazing
I love this, I'm seeing results from seeing my personal trainer and it's creating a shift within me, it's subtle yet powerful
You are amazing. You come from a place of understanding - conceptually and experientially...not just recycling/ regurgitating learned information. You're being an example of how to experience pure information/ channeling/ or just being connected. Thank you for being an example for us, so we can see and eventually experience for ourselves. Deeply appreciated. ✨🙏🏽✨
SPOT ON!! Especially that bit about weight. Most people who I've known who wanted to lose weight,failed to succeed due to not letting that image of being overweight go. Just like you said "temporary diet" that is why many lose it and then gain it back. Its more a way of life,a mindset!! Lovely video!
Yes
Thank you so so much for this literally is the life changing guidance I'd been searching for, your videos are invaluable
I am already 100 percent whole and complete!! I love to watch your older videos as well as the new ones Aaron.
This is my 3rd video, and I'm feeling empowered already. Thank you.
I've taught middle school for the last several years. My colleagues and I would talk about how much of our own reference points for how we view the world came from the experiences we had in middle school because it's a time when you're experiencing things so deeply from this heightened emotional state. I feel you on that!
Most ppl treat me opposite of how I think bc I don’t do a lot of negative things so they act like I’m sheltered, have never traveled, cursed, or never heard cursing etc. I’m almost 50 and just bc I haven’t done a lot of scandalous things they treat me like I’m a teenager. I’ve traveled to Canada, New York, Los Angeles etc. Sometimes ppl want to force who they want u be and not bc u think that way. I do don’t believe that everything deals with how u feel about who u are it’s ppl and their perceptions. There are children who are abused from the time their kids so I guess they feel like being abused. Ppl project their negative crap onto others who they see as less then.
aaron, this one is powerful! makes sense now that the more i value and love my self the universe, and God the more i abundantly share this love energy to the people around me, and like you said, the people around me feels the energy and it bounces back to me. love, happiness, wealth and health just surrounds my reality, has been surrounding my reality. thanks for the vid sir! btw i live in vegas too hopefuly i bump with you one day lots of questions i wanna ask you!
you have so much energy it is awesome there are so many dullards in this world it's hard to be around them and not feel like you're about to vomit
you are amazing and very genuine my friend! much love ! God bless you my friend!
ur mustache is so cool brah!
It's so damn cool but it looks like he's eating it
This video was so helpful to me. After a lot of therapy and searching for videos and answers about this topic, watching Ted Talks, etc, this video explained things in a way that made sense and got to the root of a lot of things I've been struggling with for a long time. This gets to the root of it and doesn't just offer some bullshit quick tips like a lot of videos I've seen. Can't tell you how much this helps me. Thank you so much for posting this!
thank God for this video, I'm slowly improving myself
Thanks for this. I always think that there's something inherently wrong with me to make people dislike me so. I used to be confident when I was a child, but it seems like my parents (especially my father) discouraged me in that and sowed seeds of doubt in my self and my abilities. I think he was ashamed of me for being myself and he would criticise and belittle everything I do. And being young, with no other role models, I started to believe that what they are doing is the right way for me and internalised everything. So the moment I entered high school I was a nervous wreck. The whole school picked on me because i was weak and vulnerable. Hence I didn't learn anything as I was just trying to survive school and I always doubted my abilities to succeed anyway.
Primary school = class clown
High school = push over weak kid that everyone picked on.
As such my life is ruined. I have no job, no life, still live with my parents.
I'm 27 now...
What you said, does encourage me. I always think, what if this person thinks i'm weird (I end up acting weird and tense anyway). Anywhere I go I always feel like i'm being monitored on everything I do...
I guess If I had more achievements in my life I could feel better about myself.
Sorry I'm just rambling now...
I always recommend Eckhart Tolle's "the power of now ".
Thank you for this video, and your other great videos.
One thing I would add - a very important thing when it comes to this concept - is making sure that the new you that you want to be is TRUE to your actual personality. I consider myself to be decent in making personal change. However, I have spent so much time and energy in the past trying to adopt some characteristics that were not authentic to my personality. And, of course, I ran into problems. Learning to accept your authentic personality is huge, and I have recently begun to do that, and I'm soooo happy for it. I still make changes, but only if they are in alignment with who I really am.
This came at the perfect time. Thank you so much.
That's very true! We had experiences in the past that affect us so much and shape our self image...My husband had a similar experience...even more painful for his young mind ( then age 15) that it changed his perception in a wrong way (for many years)...THANK YOU FOR A MARVELLOUS LECTURE...
Thanks Aaron,,, I love your voice , the way you explain, using simple words, I'm so glad that you have a God given ADHD tool, we all are give tools to go through life, with your tools you make people all over the world happy and a big change in this world too. I am very proud of you and anyone who listens to you,,be blessed,
Your videos are giving me a new found hope in life and understanding it, understanding myself. Breaking habits is hard. Especially mental patterns that you’ve worked with your entire life. But I’ve always believed that the mind is the master and if you just train it right, it can serve you for anything you want; positive or negative. The journey to mastering your mind is a tough one. An uncomfortable one. The thought of being able to change my mind is the only thing that gives me hope. People have let me down profusely and I have let others down in the same way. So I guess the only place to expect anything from is yourself. And I mean this without sounding jaded or negative. People are great but you have to get to a place of self reliance to truly trust yourself again after believing your entire life that you’re not good enough. I hope everyone finds their peace. 🙏🏼 thanks for your videos again!!
I agree with everything in this video but just a word of caution about the "self acceptance" advice that we should all be aware of. The whole idea here is that we are limited the beliefs we hold regarding who we think we are, since these beliefs ultimately become part of our self image and identity. So true change only comes when we get to the roots of WHY we hold certain limiting beliefs about ourselves, analyzing and deconstructing certain life events and experiences to realize the (often ridiculous) reasons why we ended up thinking that way. And that's why this advice about "self acceptance" can be a dangerous one... Such advice may lead us to justify, rather than challenge, some of our self-limiting beliefs, dismissing them as fundamental aspects of who we are that we simply have come to terms with rather than actively work on and change. Taking the example that Aaron brought up, if you have this belief that "I'm akward around women" you need to sit down and take the time to figure out where this belief came from and then use that awareness to help you overcome it. You are NOT supposed to just accept your akwardness around women as "who you are" and try to move on... You need to FIGHT that limiting belief with everything you've got if you want to get over it!! Hope that makes sense.
If you can't find the memory in the past because of which the self image is developed.. then what should be your action?
2 years later no answer...☹️All is lost brother
