I haven't really had any big challenges in my life, but when things get tough I always fall straight out of my routine and take refuge in video games, films or, rarely, a sip of alcohol. P.S.:i will try your tipps nexttime 😊 Love your Videos!!! They helps me to lernen english and buddhism❤❤🙏🙏

[@softsophisticate]

Sorry to hear your sad news. Wishing you well. I have lost both my parents and my MIL. At the end, they were in bed, all their stuff was irrelevant and ended up being donated to charity shops to raise money for others. All they needed at the end is a bed and healthcare people to look after their physical and medicinal needs and close family to be there to love and just be there with them. Nothing else mattered. They all had to let go. They all passed away peacefully.

[@muhlenstedt]

@@softsophisticate thank your for sharing this, it shows me that am right about opening my soul for the essential and letting everything else goes. I hope the good memories of your dear people offer you comfort.Health and Peace!

[@9ballalex]

15 days ago my wife and I split up after 7 years. I never felt this miserable, genuinely tormented. I have started by instinct to clean my outside world; my apartment, and my car, getting rid of useless stuff and just keeping my spaces tidy. Doing so brings some semblance of peace. I can totally vouch for that first tip given on the video.

[@gingersutton8240]

“ When life falls apart”, remember when each of us hears your story & some have just the right words to say, it is the greatness of our creator taking a bit of you torment from you helping you “clean up” your insides. Many blessings to you & above all, PEACE! 🌷

[@HarekrishnaHarekrishna337]

10 months ago even my boyfriend had cheated upon me after 4 years of relationship . I felt miserable and was in depression and anxiety for many months but life goes on and we don't forget anything but actually we learn to live with these memories and pain forever.

I actually managed to get 2 jobs, unfortunately I had to tell the one job "off", lol, I know, I know, I was bad girl,....but they deserved every bit of it, lol. And sorry, I don't regret it, sometimes we have to do what we gotta do....to stick up for ourselves! I still have other job and doing very good with it, but once again I have to look for another part time job, I'm not worried, the right job is out there....I already kinda know something instinctively, but I don't want to say anything just yet...I will explain this soon.

Thank you for inspiring me to be silent. I needed this reminder. I have been losing faith because I thought that my neurotic mind can find the answers and was indulging in thinking and figuring out things. I was deluding myself.

You are so welcome my friend. Yeah it can be difficult at times to remember just how powerful meditation and stillness can be.

[@preceptor5068]

This was what I needed. There are things that are beyond my control and I'm expected to do things that I'm not willing to do. I've been feeling stuck in life since years. No amount of effort is helping me move forward and I feel so diconnected with myself. I feel I need to be still and let the energies come to me and clear my life. I'll give it a try. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

You’re welcome! I’m glad it’s helpful 😊

[@josephwong7103]

So agree with you that we declutter our outside world - work wonders which can make our meditation so calming & clear in a clean room & clean home. Then slowly clear everything else - tasks, appointments with family & loved ones, works, etc. - most important is to be kind to ourselves. Thank you for the reminder!

So, thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words Venerable Nick. I have autism, and these first few days back at school have been stressful, I've been more sensitive to noise than usual, and it's affecting my relationships with other people. Right now, I feel like I have lost control of what I do. I said some very nasty things to a good friend the other day, and I really regret it. I've just not been able to control my reactions and let go of what's happening. I've felt a little lost recently, but I'm confident I can take your advice and try it out, and I'm hopeful I will be able to gain some control over my life once I've cleared my mind a little. Again, thank you Venerable Nick for this video

Great topic and discussion. Towards the end of last year for me a few things went sideways, and projects didn't go as planned. I've needed to step back from everything and reassess. Try to enjoy and appreciate each day even without the things that had been motivating and giving me a sense of purpose for a while. Meditation, daily walks, being flexible, and rolling with the punches all help. I can easily relate. Thank you for the helpful tips 🥰😊

Not really sure whether I will enjoy it but rather be at the sideline; fantasising how well I can do why not just do it. 🫡 Try everything… then I will know and appreciate it. Importantly no regrets.

[@ZengHuaXiansheng]

Thank you very much for sharing this, Nick. I totally agree that sometimes we have to step back a bit and most importantly to get still to be able to find a good solution. And in some cases we have to let go completely. This might not sound very easy but I think the harder we make it for ourselves the harder it gets. I think it’s very important that we understand that a still mind is not dependent on things we have or don’t have because in the end we have to let go of everything anyway.

Thanks for the acknowledgement that sometimes one might like to go clean their whole place (or something) but not be able to. Love the part about making a list/plan if something is too big, completely agree. And if I may add, being able to run and immediately start fixing a problem that happens takes training and experience. Most people don't have that for most kinds of problems, so yeah sometimes the best thing to do is just stop and assess.

Ven.Nick you have been a blessing in my life. As a mentor, a friend, and an example. An example to take care of both our mental and physical health. To put the best efforts in what we can do and accept the circumstances we can’t. I have learned much just from your chantings, journaling, thoughts during meditation, and experience. Etena saccavajena hotu te jayamangalam and I will be sending prayers from the United States ❤🕊️

Why do we close our eyes sit and meditate when we can be in the meditative state most of the time even if we are walking around, doing chores or being around people? Im finding it more valuable to stay in a relaxed state of mind throughout the whole day than put in meditation sessions and then go back to stressing about things and thoughts in between the sessions.

Always perfect timing, Venerable Nick! :)
