- It's common to get caught up in the chaos of daily life, but the question is, do you know how to reset your life? Do you have a buffer or "guard rails" to protect yourself and come back to ground zero? In this video, I wanted to share the wisdom of the monastery of how we reset ourself and hopefully it can inspire you to integrate this wisdom into your daily practice. I hope this is helpful. #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth

I reset by riding my road bike for an hour or so or go to the gym. Also, and this may sound silly, driving trains on Train Sim 3. on Xbox😅. I also listen to my vinyl records. Of course, meditation and chanting.
Still trying to figure it out, trying different methods. This video was very helpful.
Shower, exercise, meditate, have a walk in a natural area with my dog, go to church, listen to Venerable Nick and other spiritual speakers on TH-cam.
Namo Buddhaya 🙏!
Thank you for the timestamps! That is so considerate!
I'm not buddhist, but I'm a 24/7 stressed high schooler and I find your videos so useful and motivating ❤️ Thank you!
I’m glad it’s helpful 😊
witty reply incoming " im no stressed schooler but a semi buddhist healthcare worker minimalist lol joke
Buddha's teaching, ( we call it Buddha's Dharma) is not a religion...unfortunately over the years due to various reasons it became a religion ( an ' ism ') run by institutions of various sects, now it has become a religious brand.
Buddha wanted his words to be heard through Sanghas ( sanghas are a group of individuals who follow the the disciplinary code set by Buddha and dedicated to follow Buddha's words in order to find the true liberation of life existence. They were also given the task of spreading Buddha's teaching to the laymen to understand the truth of existence and how one should live during this existence in order to find the path through purification of the mind ( we call it the eightfold path) . This teaching is a way of life, put to practice to become habit . The knowledge of his teaching is useless if you can't practice.
So glad to hear you as a teenager in this age found this, hold it dear to your heart and practice these principles and I'm sure you will be less stressed and a happier human being. Blessings to you.
@@terripurifoy8069 Thank you, I wish you a lot of happiness as well 💕
The non-judgmental and practical way you always communicate your teachings are truly inspirational for me. Thank you
Aww thank you so much 😊
Exactly 🙏🏽
so refreshing in these times hehe
After years of watching videos by monks or monasteries, you have absolutely become my weekly and sometimes daily reset person. Sometimes I listen to great advice, but it’s so not practical. Your advice can be used by anyone desiring to be more present, more rested, more mindful, and have a more peaceful life. Thank you 🙏
Aww thank you so much for your kind words Deb. 😊😊
Thank you Brother Nick. I meditate twice a day. Once before sleeping and when I wake up. Especially when I wake up because of a high amount of anxiety at that time. It helps me reset as well as set the tone for the day ahead. I follow with a few short prayers of gratitude towards loved ones and/others who may benefit from positive intent. Thanks, again, for your guidance.
Thats the ideal way to do it imo
Namo Buddhaya 😊🙏
I love this! Could you share how you do gratitud prayers towards loved ones? Ie. "Thank you mom for so and so"? Or how do you word them? 😅
@@Phd366 I say them as if I'm speaking directly to them and picture them in my mind as if they are standing in front of me. Very simple. No need for formulas.
I'm so happy there is the Internet for this reason. These videos help me a lot. If I can find anything positive about the Internet and technology, it is these videos. Thank you.
"Time to be alone"-Yes! That is one of the greatest benefits of being a bachelor. And I need it! The more that I grow spiritually and understand who I am and how I am composed, the more valuable alone time is to me and for me.
I use these principles in my Christian journey... Thank you so much for these videos!!!! Universily true and applicable.
Sadhu sadhu Thank you so much 😊
I just wanted you to know, I am on a Facebook group that deals with PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety. That's not what I want you to know. I want you to know I've sent people to your channel, telling them so much of what you have taught has helped me immensely. I've had a *life.* One of the things I've learned is it's important to let people know when they've made a difference. You have made a difference, at least for me.
Thank you Ven Nick 🌺 I reset by taking a shower, burning insence, going for a walk, doing qigong and yoga, meditating, washing dishes, and going to Buddhist meditation evening (it is very good to have a Sangha meeting every week). 🪷
Wow that’s fantastic! Thank you for sharing 😊
By maintaining neutrality there is no resetting back to a neutral state. When we go up we come down and when we go down we come back up, this is because of an imbalance. By maintaining neutrality we cannot be pulled in either direction, up or down. This implies indifference but not indifference in a moral way, indifference towards our circumstances, not clinging to anything good or bad. Good things will always bring a contradictory force, same with the bad things. To see things as there are is to maintain indifference, even in ones appreciation and gratitude towards present circumstances.
Meditating every day and knowing the security and stability that indifference brings is how one can maintain focus and attention on what is true.
🙏
😊😊
I reset my self by listening to music and think of my childhood and good memories with people i love.
Beautiful marlon 😊 I’m glad that’s helpful.
@@nickkeomahavong01 thanks nick for sharing wisdom with us. Your vlog is so helpful to me. I had anxiety and my medication and cure is when im watching your videos i become heal by you. Keep it up nick
Namo Buddhaya 🙏!
Venerable Nick, thank you so much for this powerful reminder on the importance of resetting our lives. In the Christian tradition there is a teaching that says, "Be still and know that I am God." Even our great master teacher Jesus of Nazareth felt the need to get away from the pressures of his ministry and go into the mountains to pray and fast for 40 days. This idea of resetting is an ancient one but rarely taught and practiced. Again thanks for your valuable teaching.
2020 was hard but these years after haven’t been easy. Many of us are running like headless chickens. We need more teaching and grounding moments like this ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Tiffanie! I’m glad it’s helpful 😊
Amen! Today is election day! Pray for all! 🌷🙏🥰
Amen! Today is election day! Pray for all! 🌷🙏🥰
To the people that didn't watch the news 2020 was just another year.
The pandemic put lots of anxieties in us...we need more calming moments.
Ive always used chanting to come back to center. Been doing it fro about 15 years now. Always works a treat! + is almost the only way to shut up the monkey mind when living in a chaotic society! Also shaved my head the other week to help establish a new routine.
Wonderful my friend. I’m glad you’re able to keep up with the chanting. Keep it up 😊
"reset your mood and your mindset". We can definitely tell when we and others have not.
I’m going through big changes in my life, at 74. Your videos are so helpful in this time of transition. They are helping so much in keeping focused on my goals, not be drowned in anxiety or doubts, and go ahead. Thanks so much and may you keep sharing your teachings for the good of so many people. Blessings 🙏🏼💕
You so often post videos that align with my problems. You post about depression whenever I'm in a dark place. And now I was just telling my partner I need a restart. I'm so grateful for your content.
I was just thinking the same thing this evening, when this video popped up 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. You have made such a positive impact on my life! Your light shines bright all over this world! Peace to everyone from North Ga, USA!
For me, shaving my head is like shedding the burden of things that came about since the previous shaving.
It's like a soul cleansing from the outward in.
I feel younger too, energized and motivated again. 🙂 🙏
I live in Australia and I'm working nearly full time and living in poverty. I run out of money 4 days after my fortnightly pay goes in, becauseof rent, bills and cost of living. I work in aged care, it's tough. I'm a single parent. I m scared we will be homeless one day. I have just subscribed to your channel because you popped up out of nowhere in my feed, like I was meant to find you. I have been feeling like I can't go on, and I'm sick of living. Watching your video has given me a new sense of hope. 💓
I had never considered going to church weekly as a reset but I always feel refreshed and (I guess) reset each Sunday. ❤
I very much like the calm, simple and benevolent way you speak. And thank you for all the reminders of the basics of a simple, spiritual (christian) life!
Daily I reset after work by changing into comfy, baggy clothes like joggers, a sweatshirt and slippers. Then again later putting on PJs after a shower.
I resonate with the idea of cleaning as a reset: housework, dishes, laundry, changing the bedclothes all feel like a reset.
Never saw these rituals as part of a spiritual practice before but I like that perspective. Thanks for your videos, each holds profound but simple truth
Over a long life I have developed a strategy for testing people-generated “wisdom” and that is to look for examples where nature confirms (or doesn’t confirm) the wisdom. While it isn’t exactly the same as what is discussed here, I see the reset and peace it generates in farm animals or pets whose carers adhere to a strict schedule of feeding, cleaning, maintenance and rest. We, like all animals, respond well to predictability. So, the wisdom presented in this video passes the test. Thank you Brother.
I reset by putting my phone away! I usually fly fish to stay centered. I like a clean shave and I practice wim hof to keep my stress down. I'll keep answering as I grow.
Aww that’s beautiful my friend! Those are amazing steps 😊
My favorite chant to resset is Thai Chant Buddhist :
Supatipanno bhagavato savaka-sangho
Uju-patipanno bhagavato savaka-sangho
Naya-patipanno bhagavato savaka-sangho
Samici-patipanno bhagavato savaka-sangho
Vad-idam cattari purisa-yugani attha purisa-puggala
Esa bhagavato savaka-sangho
Ahuneyyo pahuneyyo dakkhineyyo anjali-karaniyo
Anuttaram punnakkhettam lokassa
Wonderful 😊😊
That's why I love being single and childless. Home is my Mosque, Church, Temple, and Ashram. When I get home, and close that door, that's it.
I may bring something in there with me that I must work through, but, eventually, I will and will flush down the commode.
Appreciate it Nick!!! Thank you! Everyday, at the end of the day, I reset by ritual of cleaning and closing shop so-to-speak for the day: clean the sink, brush my teeth, etc etc.... and prepare my bed and get ready. Another way I reset when I need it is: I listen to Dharma - Joseph Goldstein and others... I also exercise - regular senior exercises and sometimes some QiGong. These things ground me and center me. I love dharma and I appreciate the way Joseph Goldstein teaches. I have learnt from others as well but he is my present dharma teacher only in the sense that I listen to his teachings on his retreats as presented on the Apple Podcast and uTube. Thank you for sharing perspective Nick. It is always helpful to listen to you!
Thanks for explaining hair shaving. This is the first time I have thought about it as a rebirth of sorts. It makes perfect sense. 🙏
Thank you for this video. Resting, stopping the world, being fully present, is so important. Often times people "rest" while browsing the internet, or watching tv, a movie. And this is truly no rest at all. It is merely an escape. And if one watches the news it only draws our consciousness out into the world further, inciting emotional responses, taking us further from feeling restful and centered. It's like a barrage of worldly events constantly flooding our conscoiusness. Now more than ever it is so important to draw down on all that external activity in order to find our true selves. I tend to think that global warming is a consequence of humanity's hyper activity, and until we as a species learn to slow down, relax, and get in tune with Nature and our own natural biorhythms, and center ourselves, nothing will truly change....
Thank you so much for sharing these tips and wisdom with us. Listening to you speak is already like a spiritual activity for me, I always feel calmer and more grounded after listening to you. 🙏
Aww thank you so much Nora 😊😊
The simplest ways are always so transformative, thank you for grounding us with the basics 🙏
Thank you so much Matt! Yes simple is best 😊
I have already listened to this teaching, but listening now seems like the 1st time?
I have no doubt that the reason why is because of a recent event (trivial to be honest) but also because of something that I continue to have good days and not so good days regarding. It happened a good while ago but it's still in my system and varies in intensity.
It's never been a detriment to my outward life and caused me to mistreat anyone but it's there. I want it gone.
My point: I think that implementation of a reset practice, coupled with my new affirmation practice, I will finally be able to put "that" to rest and where it belongs- behind me.
So then I can truly appreciate this peaceful, productive, and fulfilling life that I am blessed with. 🙏
Great reminders, Nick! I would love to hear you talk about HOW to rest. It's definitely a skill - something that took me almost 50 years to figure out! It's not just about lying down, but really how to quiet the mind, how to focus on breathing, etc. Could you speak a bit about this? Sending love and gratitude...
I believe the last time I felt reset was 3 years ago on my first mushroom experience. I haven't taken any since since I stopped talking to my "friend". I felt amazing for an entire year.
G'morning Venerable Nick, thank you for your words of wisdom. I reset twice daily, in the AM before work and in the PM after work. I light a candle and just look at the flame and breathe. I am guilty of having clutter, but all I wanna do is rest and sleep. Life is draining me. I'm from Azusa CA, so we might've crossed paths at one time. Have a beautiful day and until the next video. Your voice is so calming, Venerable Nick and I am grateful that I came across your videos. Thank you again.
I have a storage unit full of material things I must let go of. Listening and learning is helping me.
I had a friend like that- female as well. She passed away in January of this year, and as I listen to you, I have no doubt that a reason for her passing, in addition to poor diet and questionable home environment, I mean literally the house, she was always go, go, go. She took care of everyone but herself.
Jeffrey, sorry for the death of your friend 🌹
@@Crystalquartz964 Thank you. She was one of those irreplaceable types.
Love you, Nick!
Sadhu sadhu ☺️
Life as a layperson is exhausting. The rat race takes a huge toll on me. I often wish I was a monk. I'm unhappy with my work. I don't feel it is the right livelihood. I cook meat every day. It's the only type of work I can get. These tips will be helpful to me I'm sure. Thanks.
This message reached me in such a positive way today, Venerable Nick. Thank you so much for sharing these principles with us. I deeply appreciate all that you do. Sending compassion and gratitude to you! 🙏🙏 Namaste.
Sadhu sadhu! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you, Brother Nick. I so needed to hear your lesson and voice tonight, EST. Your words and calmness helped me, sincerely, tonight.
Thank you for your wisdom and compassion. 🙏🙂🙏
Be Safe. Be Well. -Alli
I’m glad it’s helpful and came at the right time Alli. Hope you’re doing well 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom May you become an Arahat
Sadhu sadhu! Thank you so much 😊
Nick, I watch everyone one of your videos many times, and I am so grateful you share your life with us. Bless you my Brother, please don't stop sharing with us :)
Aww thank you so much mark! It’s my honor and pleasure to share. I’m glad they are helpful 😊
Namo Buddhaya !😊
Yes……REST!
😁🙏🏻
😊😊😊😆😆
Very analytical presentation.. Thanks with Gratitude.. Resetting is like rewiring your brain. To find where you go wrong & pull back yourself again to right path..Chanting suttas, vipassana meditation & reading dhamma books helps me to reset in right manner.. I feel these are protecting me all the time & I am in stream of flow of purity.. Very satisfied, peaceful, calm & happy too.
Beautiful Shruti! That’s so great 😊
My stress level has been very high and I been very overwhelmed. I've also been in excruciating pain in my bones. I don't have eye brows either. I draw mine in. I really appreciate and respect the time you take to share your wisdom, experiences and knowledge. I learn so much from you. Nick your a inspiration and excellent teacher and a good example for me. Thank you Nick. Reset my day.
I recently started buzzing my own head. It was something I wanted to do for such a long time. I never realized how attached people get to their hair and their looks. For me it's not something that I worry about anymore. It was such a relief to stop worrying and to becanle to reset. I'm no monk but it was cool to be able to relate.
Yes definitely. Letting go of one’s vanity is such a powerful practice 😊
Cheers, Rev. Nick to remind us this important topic, how to let it go and restart fresh, reset and restart.
Thank you so much 😊
Just watching your videos are very centering, so thank you. I’ve carved out a few daily rituals for myself. I’m currently in a political lockdown, so I have a lot of free time. I meditate!I’m up to 10 solid minutes, sometimes more, and every evening, ( almost) I like to soak my feet in a tub of water and light a candle. It’s my time, it’s silent , it’s wonderful. Thanks again for all you do. Not just for us watching you, but for all you do for everyone else. Blessings x
I'm your big fan sir 😊
I'll try resetting myself ✌🏻
Love from India 🇮🇳
Namo Buddhay 🙏🏻
Thank you so much my friend. Greetings to you 😊
Thank you with gratitude Nick! Always sending out advice when it is most needed 😊

You’re welcome carol. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this. In a hard time of my life and these videos are a lifesaver.
Thank you Nick! I feel good every time I listen to you.😊
Thank you so much irminsul 😊😊
I am so grateful for your teaching
Thank you so much 😊
thank you so much, nick~
these are just some of the basic things that we know we have to do yet always fail to do so...happy and grateful to watch and listen to this vlog and be reminded that we are basically human and not machines. we indeed need some time off to rest, reset and cleanse whatever clogs our mind.
I always love your videos and tips and am grateful I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Thank You for Your support 🌞🙏🏻🧘♀️
Thank you for this video . A great reset perspective and examples. I will keep this in mind as I remember to make my own reset rituals
Wonderful Mia 😊
Thank you, Nick. I really needed this. I find myself hiding from the world and people. I was never like this before. I realized that there is no purpose to life and it's very disheartening.
I hope you find a way, Evolve, I respect that you may have a purpose, just hidden from you, but there; I wish you the best
@@saguaro2231 Thank you for your kind words.
Namo Buddhaya 🙏 please be kind to yourself as well 🙏😊wish you all the best !
Your calm and wisdom voice guide me to enlightenment !! Thanks Nick for your existence ❤️
Aww thank you so much tra 😊😊
Thank you venerable Nick for sharing your monastic life but what I love most is your psycho therapy😃
Thank you so much Regina 😊😊
So good to see and hear you again. Your wisdom always promotes me to think about what l am doing. Sometimes l am on the same path and other times you give me something to think about. Thank you 🥰
Thank you nick, you are so humble ❤
Sadhu sadhu alyce! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Nick! ❤️
Hey Nick, I'm always happy when you have wisdom to share. Recently I've been more open minded to the idea of love and kindness meditation. I use to think that it didn't have any wisdom, but now I see that it does. In psychology we have the idea of projection, were we see our own negative traits in others, but it works the other way as well. We can see our own positive traits in others, and that's why this form of meditation is important.
Yes spreading loving kindness is quite powerful 😊
There are four sublime states...called
Metta (loving kindness) - Mudita ( Sympathetic Joy) - Karuna ( Compassion) and Upekkha ( Equanimity) ...these four are attitudes towards other beings. Each sublime state cultivates compassion, concentration and absorption and this process also helps to remove jealousy , hatred etc. and Equanimity differs in the sense of being a detached state.
The object is to know exactly what suffering being and to see the suffering of a being.
The word Ahimsa - Nonviolence is based on this
Thank you for your insight. Your videos always help me come back to center🙏
Thankyou for being you!
Aww thank you so much my friend 😊😊
Thank you for another video Nick. Your content is very inspirational. ❤
Thank you Nick.Watching your video just makes me feel peaceful and warm.And I learnt a lot from your videos.Thanks for sharing these wisdom.
Thank you so much yimin. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I like this very much:. Making a fresh new start over and over again. No matter what . Letting go of Things in the past. Thank you so much Nick for this Inspiration🙏☀️
I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom; the monk life you have walked to is astounding; the habits are so simple, but I feel, so pure....(ok, I'm not shaving my head or eyebrows, lol,), but I feel I understand, and have habits that are also cleansing, for me. I live in the desert; time alone, time spending with this cactus land; for me, it's the meditation, the fasination, the purification....all of your reset ideas spoke to me, and I thank you once again
Beautiful my friend. The desert sounds lovely 😊
Thank you. I have been praying a rosary devotion everyday for several weeks and today I wanted to reset more and looked at this and you prompted me to sustain the rosary chanting, thank you! 🙏
I am so greatful for the content you are creating. It helps me a lot to stay calm and lift my spirit. I realised as listing this video how many of this things I am already doing. Fills my heart with satisfaction. Sending lots of love 💗
Walking with my dog every evening during sunset. We walk in nature, and I am in the present moment. The sunset is a gift from God. Every creature on earth is aware of the sunset. An opportunity for stillness.
Hearing you always makes me feel emotional and sooo good! I am grateful to receive your teachings and kindness 🙏🤗 bless you venerable Nick 🕊️
Namo Buddhaya 😊!
Thank you Nick 🙏
Thank you Nick for this wonderful message ❤️
You’re welcome Vivian 😊
So grateful that this video was out during my evening ritural. :) Thank you s much for sharing your knowledge and your precious time with us.
These tips are so practical and inspiring. I can definitely benefit from having my own reset routine, morning and night. Thank you for sharing, Nick!
Wonderful Joyce! Thank you so much 😊
thanks Nick for sharing your wisdom, this is what I need
You’re welcome Patrick. I’m glad it’s helpful 😊
Very practical piece of advice. Thanks, Nick. I've just realised that my body and my soul would benefit from establishing a soothing evening routine to bring the day to a closure.
I really enjoyed this video, we all need to reset, sometimes… These were great ideas and very helpful 🙏🏻😊🫶🏻
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Nick. Your messages and the way you present them are so soothing. I believe Rest is an activity in and of itself but it seems that is not the way many people view it. To do nothing is still doing something.
I do believe people should learn to say NO now and then. Not to take on more then one can handle.
I love to read when I go off to bed. A good relaxing story. When my eyes become tired I closed the book and fall asleep. As my mother used to tell me “ tomorrow is another day”.
This is one way I de compress from the days obligations.
I AM GRATEFUL for this channel.
Resetting is very important in these modern Times. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your presence and wisdom. 🙏 My mind always ground itself to peace. When I listen to you.😘
Aww thank you so much. Hope you are well 😊
Namo Buddhaya 🙏!
Thank you so much. Your words and your energy are helpful like everytime I watch your videos. Thank you 🙏
I’m glad it’s helpful my friend. Thank you so much 😊
Love your energy brother, thank you for this video. Resetting is so important.
Love the dedication to this Nick
Thanks for sharing and trying to help people
Thank you so much Connor 😊
Namo Buddhaya 😊!
Thank you! I really this reminder today 🙏🏼
Wonderful my friend 😊😊
Thank you, this message comes in the right moment for me.
You’re welcome Eva 😊
Ty for a WONDERFUL vid. All of your words and guidance were needed today. Thank you. I need to reset and renew.
Beautiful advice and wisdom 🧡🙏 thank you!
At the perfect time for me! Thank you so much!
Wonderful my friend 😊 glad it’s helpful
Namaste, Nick: it is a very important subject to bring up. Most of us will struggle, and that is why I love that you remind us.
Just as (Yoga With) Adrienne alwalys say: we need to CARVE OUT time to do so and so...to rest, to be still, to meditate, to go inward or whatever we may name it:
As long as we do that, we're more able to be the humans we long to be, for others and for ourselves ❤
Thank you for this teaching, Venerable Nick! So often I find your videos to be apropos to what I'm experiencing at a given time & this one is exactly what I need today. I've been letting my spiritual practice fall by the wayside recently & the idea of resetting is perfect. I intend to begin now. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu!
Thanks for your wisdom, Nick! Your videos are inspiring and so helpful for those who feel lost, don't know where to begin, and need guidance and direction in terms of learning to be who they are, learning to let go, learning to incorporate healthy passions, and learning to live with peace, joy, and ease.
Aww thank you so much 😊
Thank you for reminding us to spend some time to reset!! Might seem simple advice, but it is definitely worthy of reminding us to stop & reset!! Thanks again!!
