Dealing with Tiredness | Ajahn Brahm | 19 Feb 2016

The plague of the age in our "always-on", 24/7 society is that people are often - even constantly - feeling tired. This is a difficult feeling to deal with and detracts from our happiness and well-being. Ajahn Brahm offers a fresh perspective and useful advice on how to deal with tiredness.

One Ajahn Brahm talk a day keeps the doctor away

[@grungil7570]

[@JaySoul711]

I like it ! 5 years later I’m still here 😅

"Pushing the wheelbarrow is easy, thinking about it is the hard part." I laughed out loud so much at this. Thank you as always for your wise words and teachings. Sadhu Sadhu SADHU!

[@maf9314]

Lee Pen sadhu?

[@howardcohen6817]

Hi hi hi.

[@SeowWee03]

I feel Iess tired & more energetic after listening. Thank you Ajahn Brahm 🙏

[@mamamiabenjamia]

'pushing the wheel barrow is easy, thinking about it is the hard part' love it!

[@setitheredcap2677]

This was absolutely phenomenal information. As a chronic overthinker, I know how much this poisons the mind, which takes from the body.

[@lordbyron3603]

I feel as if all the hot air in my head has been let out after listening to Ajahn Brahm tonight. I've been feeling so utterly tired lately, so tired I wanted to just give up, lay down and never get back up. So pull up this video, and half way through, I began feeling light and noticing I can breath again.

"Don't think about it, just do it"

[@guser2495]

ummm that won't work for everything

[@AroonTeni]

I always hear Ajhan Brahm to understand the psychology and philosophy about the topic. Nice teaching.

[@nickel2442]

May I suggest two of my favorite philosophers .. Calvin and Hobbes

[@markellis4417]

Thanks for this talk Ajahn Brahm. Just what the doctor ordered.

[@martaeyore8234]

Favourite Monk

[@noonespecial4171]

I started listening to Ajahn Brahm in 2015 during a very dark period, since then I started heavily investing in the Thai Forest Tradition and I can't thank AB enough, he is a true Arahant I'd swear it 🙏🙏🙏

[@MyPerfectGecko]

Wise words from a kind and gentle man. Modern wisdom. Kind insight. This is so helpful for me - THANK YOU

[@jennimok6452]

Thank you so much for this enlightening topic. Just what I most needed to try now that I get so stressed and tired often these days. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu!

[@lordbyron3603]

Television, entertainment gets me tired. So I don't watch much television any more. It uses up precious energy when Watching television or any form of entertainment.

[@marillavanbeuren8572]

totally agreement.

[@kirstymaving6228]

thank you this really helped me, especially the bit about university and discovering yourself. it helped confirm what I was thinking already. being positive is something I struggle with and your video made me notice the pattern im getting stuck in

[@bryanneo9585]

Thank you

[@ashwaghoshmeshram2585]

#THANKYOU 🙏🙏

[@nonyabusiness5286]

Master of knowledge beyond my capabilities so far. How can I move on beyond this realm. I have reached this point of not being able to teach anymore and tire too much I want to move on.

[@adude3812]

saaaaadhuu sadddhuu saddddhuuu haha thanks ajahn brahm! :D

[@amyyoung9255]

You helped me so much thank you so much

[@user-gd2oi2eo7z]

Today I was exhausted because if worry and hearing so much chattering. After meditation, I recovered. What ajahn Brahm said goes beyond tired ness of my kind. In first Johnna, threw are directed thought, after a while it is tiredness ,and that is the time the heart knows to let thought go and go into the second Johnna.

[@maipham4766]

Love your videos, i feel so exhausted:-)

[@SANDRA11610]

Thanks so much appreciate these so mutch. Nice teaching Ajahn Brahm

[@SandraLovesRoses]

Good sound on this one.

[@AngelaAllen40216]

Wonderful video and audio quality! Apt for a wonderful talk. :) Saddhu saddhu saddhu

[@lordbyron3603]

I also go into seclusion ... At least 24 hours of not seeing anyone. Sometimes, I'll sleep for 48 hours, getting up only to wash, brush or to take a toilet break. I've also reduce my work hours. Stop listening to all the product advertisements. Remember, this is the world. Learn to go against it .... against the grain like Buddha did.

[@nicholasbishop6731]

Or Jesus Christ.

[@marillavanbeuren8572]

I too try to discipline myself and insist on choosing one day, 24 hour period during which I manage to totally detach from the world around me; e.g computers, cell phones, headlines in any form, so that I cam just to be a "being" versus a "doing" person. Indeed I am refreshed and rewarded each time. Nice to hear from someone who seems to share my views.

[@riteshshaw8582]

Sadhu Sadhu SADHUUUUUUUUUU ❤️

[@theinzwin]

24:44 Thank you

[@soulonfire6459]

What I love about Ajahn is his practical talks and lived experiences. So helpful and encouraging. Stay safe and well all.

[@YoungbloodDhamma]

Sathu

[@huynhthidieu99]

Please, video the monk/ nun who seats next to the speaker.tx

[@road2edc203]

discuss curiosity please also the Buddhist attitude towards governing people.

[@mvann5]

Yes but there is chronic fatigue and long vivid and sleep disorders. Attitude can make a difference but if you are debilitated enough not sure how you deal.

[@minidino4]

Ajhan brahm i live in Calgary there is no forest or beach here

[@clairejohnston2461]

Do you live near a lake or stream? Or a stretch of open land? If it's quiet and pleasant those places could work for you. Good luck!

[@masterjacob4944]

Sadhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sadhuuuuuuu heheheheheheh

[@tys6739]

[@hippiechicksmomma8691]

I have severe tiredness

[@geoffreyofanjou6974]

Spoiler alert: If the talk puts you to sleep, the final 3 sadhus might wake you with a start.

[@pinkifloyd7867]

They freaked de shit out of me 😅

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

48:10 Ajahn Brahm basically frivilously advises to be untrue to one's own word, which amounts to lying that's ok, unless the advice was supposed to be Dhammic and aimed at lay buddhists a Dhammic advice would be to keep silent instead of giving a promise you don't intend on fulfilling

[@tigershenanigans6878]

BayanTheOne Context is important. He talked about a people who are arasing people to convert. They dont want to leave you alone if you are silent.

[@horridedifice]

BayanTheOne letting go of attachment

[@wowwowwow185]

now days you have targets to hit, or you get sacked

[@djVania08]

There is some truth to what he says but if everyone would follow his advice, there would be no roads, no bridges, and certainly nothing from modern day. Would that be better? maybe. But if we would follow his (monk) advice there would also be no monks very soon because their life is (from what I've heard) dependent on productivity (food) of other people. And lastly, I am certain that there would be very soon no people at all, since reproduction and evolution doesn't particularly agree with just being. Or 'doing' without any thinking/planning.l about the doing itself. So yeah, a bit unpractical advice. Nice to listen to but if you don't wanna become a monk, not really applicable. Or am I wrong?

[@ns1extreme]

Very soon there will be no people because we are doing too much and destroying the planet. Building things just for the sake of building isn't a good long term plan. If everyone lived simple lives like monks there would be enough food and resources for everyone.

[@howardcohen6817]

The problems with religion is that they're so serious and thinking about it. I ligion only once (before I do it); no re-ligion for me. Hi, hi, hi.

[@fattidiliberta]

too much entitlement....

[@heavenearth6631]

Open al quran recite, listen then you will energised. Easy.

[@guser2495]

oh my gosh ajahn brahm please don't eat dairy, too much sugar or whatever causes your voice to be so gargly

[@horridedifice]

Google User i smiled at this comment as i take refuge with the Buddha and trying to cultivate patient endurance

[@alexf800]

I can’t imagine what google user eats to have a negative rude mind like that.

[@theredqueen6911]

as a single mom, just what i needed!

[@nicholasbishop6731]

Wonderful
