How to Overcome Negative Self-Talk | A Monk's Perspective

Negative self-talk can be one of our biggest obstacles. The inner critic tells us we’re not good enough, not smart enough, or that we should have “figured it out by now.” But what if there’s another way to see it? In this video, I share a personal story from my time guiding a mother and daughter who wanted to improve their relationship. While the mother was grateful for the wisdom, she began to judge herself harshly—believing she was “dumb” for not having the answers already. This is the trap of the inner critic. And it’s something many of us face. I’ll introduce a simple mindset shift: instead of seeing your weaknesses as flaws, see them as skills. There are eight dimensions of life, and we all have different skill levels across them. The great news is—skills can be learned and improved. When we look at life this way, we no longer have to be so hard on ourselves. Instead, we can approach growth with patience, kindness, and wisdom. If you’ve ever struggled with negative inner dialogue, I hope this video helps you see yourself in a new light. #mentalhealth #monks #buddhism Timestamp 0:00 Intro 3:53 It’s normal 4:25 It’s a skill 8:37 How to apply it ____________________________________ FREE Video-Led Meditation Retreats: 🔶 https://nickkeomahavong.com/retreats ____________________________________ FREE downloads below: ✅ FREE 21-Day Meditation Habit Builder: https://forms.gle/E4r8ntQDPTd2rwJg6 ✅ How to Become a Monk FREE Guide: https://forms.gle/8b3GX9Hkds9PffJc9 ✅ FREE Self-Care Checklist: https://forms.gle/Rds3vAEQ6uNmmeWs6 ____________________________________ ✅ Venerable Nick’s Website: https://www.nickkeomahavong.com/ ____________________________________ Ordination Opportunities: 🔶 Be a Monk Ordination Program: With minimalism and simplicity at its core, The Pa Pae Meditation Retreat gives Westerners the opportunity to ease into becoming a monk in a forest setting for those seeking short term and long term ordination. https://beamonk.org/ ____________________________________ Meditation Retreat: 🔶 (Chiang Mai, Thailand) Join the Pa Pae Meditation Retreat if you would like to meditate in the beautiful nature of the Chiang Mai mountains.
