How to Adapt to Change | A Monk's Perspective

How to Adapt to Change | A Monk's Perspective
Adapting to change can be very difficult. As a whole collective, we are and have been experiencing a major shift. This can lead to extra stress and discomfort. In this video, I wanted to take the time to talk about the different types of changes we have all been going through and how we can best adapt to all these changes. I hope this helps to provide you some relief or some peace of mind. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #minimalism

I learned from you how to make the diary to capture thoughts/feelings (good/bad) and to bring awareness about the things we should be grateful for. And I improve my English in this process too :) Thank you very much for everything!!! Hugs from Brazil!!!

    As the saying goes "the only constant in life is change." Whether it's welcomed or unwelcomed change, we need to adapt in order to survive. No major change in my life since the pandemic but it is important that we continue to support each other the best we can. Lift each other UP, not down. I believe in good karma. What a timely topic, Nick. Thank you for continuing to spread positivity.

    This weekend I'll be adjusting my waking time earlier to spend more time with my formal practice. This comes following a painful life event. My cat Harry passed 2 months ago without warning from a sudden illness. He was near and dear to me. I came unhinged, crying for hours at a time. Finally I realized these feelings of grief weren’t going anywhere soon. I tried to understand how my kitty could feel closer to me than any human has. He was always at my side, with me in my time of pain and illness, night or day. He was my sunshine and my rock during the pandemic lockdown. Many times since he died, I sat, witnessing these difficult emotions that are about missing what used to be. It took weeks to overcome the sense that he'd show up any minute, wanting to cuddle. Now I no longer look for him, which is some relief. Now my darling boy's purring, fuzzy, warm body is a pile of ashes. But he's no longer suffering. And when I think of him, he's not a kitty anymore...he's a light in my heart. And I'm grateful for sharing life and love with that little being.

    You definitely went through some serious life changes. And it was probably scary and unknown yet exciting and totally worth it at the end! I find change happens whether you like it or not and most of the time, it's a good thing. The universe kind of guides you to where you need to be. I always think of my idol Bruce Lee who said "Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind." Be formless and shapeless. Adapt to change. I'm very lucky that my life hasn't really changed during all this and where I am, life has been back to normal for awhile. Life goes on. 😊🙏

    Hi Nick, your videos helped me shifting my perspective about money, college and other things to be more relaxed, thinking in better/more efficient ways and decluttering stuff and thoughts that halted me from self development. I also read many books and watched videos about Zen Buddhism and implementing Theravada and Zen did lead to a new way of life for me. Looking back I don't regret how I lived but am happy to see thanks to people like you that there's this aesthetic balance in life. Keep this good work, thank you!

    Thank you for your video Nick! I used to struggle with mental health issues but I've made a lot of progress in healing in the past two years. I'm now studying abroad in another country, having to start over and be away from home and the people closest to me is not easy, and at times when I feel lonely or stressed I'm tempted to cope with problems in my old ways, but I'm committed to trying my best to make conscious decisions that are truly good for me in the long run, and actually applying the knowledge and wisdom I've learned to my daily life with action.

    Thank you Nick. I am adapting my spiritual life to my family life. I have a total different view than most people around me on the struggles that people are facing due to Covid. The struggle that I face is that I see everything from a spiritual perspective and the rest of the people around me from a material perspective. This leads to separation from others. The spiritual path is super and definitely lonely from a positive point of view. Hopefully more people around me will find the treasure of the spiritual path soon. Much love. 💋💋

I'm a college student and I have a hard time adapting because I am not used to losing sleep due to finishing assignments and I cannot help but feel embarrassed because most of my classmates are able to catch up with the task given. I cried the moment you say it's okay, a very simple sentence yet so comforting. Thank you again! I hope you have a great day!

    Br Nick, what a wonderful share! Change teaches non attachment that is for sure hehe, change is constant change & one has to be accommodating. I had a giggle when you talked about the airport & stepping out the doors to be greeted by a wall of heat (Hello) you know your alive huh lol. I travelled from down south where weather is or used to be cooler & headed up north to Queensland to attend Yoga & live there, i collapsed from heat stroke, had heat rashes & the mosquito's are full on up there too & i plodded along but i had to really adapt to giant Cockroaches scuttling across pathways as you walked & finding their way into fridges & cupboards, total test when they crawl over you at night. Great analogy regarding "Adaptation".. You can sense the agitation & mental health re covid/lockdowns/loss of employment, even loss of homes & over run hospitals. A talk much needed Br Nick, Namaskaram 🙏
