As me, I'm going through tough times again and again. Whenever I get hurt, I used to be come here. I don't know what's wrong with me. The same kind of pain happened with me again and again. Now I'm becoming a good person and I'm healing myself. I'm trying my best to be live in present moment. I wait to tell this and I did it. May everyone want peace in their life, will get it. Thank you so much Buddhism KZbin channel for helping me in tough times. Namo Buddhaya..! Theruwan Saranai..! 🌻

Today there is no attention, kindness, understanding, decency, compassion, tenderness, respect, love, so we are suprised that we feel bad. You have to survive it, get over it, remain a good person, to find reason and meaning in everything. It's easier for me since I'm learning to be grateful and see problems and challenges as lessons. Good luck to you and all of us! 🍀💕

My strength is from the statement " Pain is part of growing". Accepting realities of life and working hard can propel us to the apex of achievements.

[@nishee84]

Summary: It is not suffering that makes us negative. It is the perspective that we hold onto suffering, that makes us negative. Hence, do not think about suffering as something negative. Practice Cittanupassana (Contemplation on the mind and the thoughts that mind creates). Do not judge or stop thoughts. When you experience depression or anxiety, be aware the type and quality of thoughts that comes to your mind. Ask “what an I thinking”? By Being mindful and being aware, helps to separate yourself from thought. You are not the thought. Notice the thoughts without analyzing, without stopping, without suppressing and fighting these thoughts. Instead, ask “ what am I thinking”. You are not depressed. Your thoughts are depressed thoughts. Don’t run away from pain. Pain is part of growth. “Where there is birth, there is suffering” - Buddha. That is the reality. Practice, contemplating mind through meditation. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼🧡

Very well explained.. now I know thoughts are merely thoughts that'll stay and pass for sure.. being mindfulness I am doing better now..

[@bookjourney50]

Even though I am getting positive and doing things. But still, these thoughts come into my mind. I am a little getting aware of my thoughts. But sometimes these thoughts get a little more stressful, but then too I am getting fine and trying once again to be positive. So my experience is making me understand that I am making tiny tiny improvements within myself. Even though I cannot become wholly perfect but trying my best to be the best version of myself. Namo Buddhaya. May everyone be happy, in peace and make success in their life. 😀😀💯

"Your thoughts are not you" idk how many times I repeat that in my head everyday.these intrusive thoughts drain my energy which I should be using for my studies and other meaningful stuff in my life. For anyone fighting to find a piece of peace in your life I wish you the best! Never give up!! Please don't let those dark thoughts to get you. They can be disgusting but remember they are nothing about you. Sometimes all you have to do is just doing nothing. Don't react with them. You are not the only one struggling and don't be afraid to ask for help your loved ones are always ready to listen to you.. the happy life you are waiting to have will soon be yours keep being that good human you are.. Really really grateful for this channel for spreading the beautiful advices from Lord Buddha 🙏

What i love about this, and i feel like all of buddhism is like this, its not teaching me how to pray or devote my life any allmighty power. It is simply teaching how to live life in a peaceful way. I am not religious, but i really like the mindset of buddhism. In my 3 years of therapy there is one sentence i always tell myself when those depressive thought come: "I am not my thoughts". The moment you said it in your video had me had goosebumps. Thank you for your kind words, i am sure this helps so many people.

This doesn't help people who are suffering from depression without the negative thoughts. The way depression effects me is that I feel very unmotivated and low in energy. I also don't enjoy things the way I used to. Thinking positive thoughts doesn't help. I think a lot of positive things throughout the day, yet still I am unmotivated.
