Hey hey hey Noah! It's been years man. Your contents helped me with my depression in my dark times man. I was worried about you man! You can't imagine how happy i feel to see you again. Love you man ❤️
I'll be honest with you Noah... Although I would rather do this in private instead of where everyone can read.. But oh we... Here it is. I am so happy you are back. So relieved you are okay. But I will be honest with you. You helped me get over a really bad breakup. The kind of break up where you gave up your whole heart to someine and they crushed it mercilessly and all you want to do is die. I came online to try to find a way to survive it, but most videos were about, "How to get your ex back". Those videos only led to more anxiety. I found you through the "Why the Law of Attraction causes Misery" video. I watched all your videos and discovered that I wasn't in love with my ex. I was in love with the idea of him. The idea of being loved and accepted. That I was afraid of being lonely. Your videos although honestly raw and not what I wanted to hear, were just what I needed to hear. I chose to accept your theories although painful but I was able to get over the relationship faster because the truth does set one free. So... I kept looking for you to post new videos and I prayed that all was well with you. See.. When I got on, you were already gone yet your videos were helping me in your absence. Now you are back... Am excited, but you are recanting most things you said before... And I am confused. And a tiny bit resentful because I don't want you to change. Lol. Honesty. What from your past videos should I keep and what should I let go of? I just needed to say this. I have this feeling all will be well in your world and my world, but I just felt the need to pour my heart out to you and be honest with you. I wish you all the best Noah and am looking forward to more of your videos. Stay authentic nomatter what we say. ☺ Blessings!
I think we all feel the same about the confusion. He did say he'll explain it soon. But IMO his old videos are prefect, even if they weren't 100% accurate. The inaccurate part only feels like white lies to me.
Lisa, see his previous video "old content vs. new content" (a few days before this video) where he explains very clearly what is different and what stays the same. It is absolutely NOT true that he is recanting what he said before. Everything he said before is still very valid and relevant and helpful, the only difference is that he is now adding a lot more depth and a dimension (body-heart) that was not present in his old videos (that were solely about thought). An addition that based on his more mature and wholisitic experience and understanding of what is actually going on.
@nature2rule I think that is just what everyone who comes here is doing - trying to straighten out their lives and good luck to them and to you too....people who are really having a tough time and are able to accept help from others who can really help, are doing the best they can - trying to straighten out their lives ...
Good video, man! I noticed a Jungian twist in your new content (which is awesome), but maybe I'm mistaken. Your old videos helped me in the past. Thanks!
Noah, you also thought us that beyond worthy and unworthy, there is just BEING, now that's where I like to remain. Truly there is no difference between your teaching then and now. You are just taking us deeper in the healing process and I am happy to be invited along in this journey 😊. Thank you!!!
But This Worth thing? where dose it coming from, he is talking about old content in this video, he is not denying the old content but, saying all this " how to achive self worth" is not sinking into me what is he talking about this WORTH? what IS SELF WORTH??? ITS NOT BASED ON??? openions and ideas ITS JUST A FEELING AND YET HE IS SAYING ACHIving SELF WORTH!!!?? what??
I want to post a comment to help someone of you out who are having a battle with self worth. I've been working a lot on this myself and the most important thing for me to get over the biggest hurdle was to first accept loneliness. Once you do that and understand what the present moment really is, then the work on self worth really begins and becomes much much easier and quite enjoyable.
It would be nice to be fine whether you're alone or not, like some monk. Although I practiced meditation for over 2 years, I never got to that point. Besides, I think humans are hard wired to be together with other people, and otherwise would feel that something is amiss, no?
AlekThunder47 What I was talking about excepting it as not being afraid of it so that when you’re with other people it’s just that much more enjoyable. You don’t have to go into isolation, I did this without going into isolation.
I cried. Can't wait for your exercise videos. Keep doing what you are doing. You are helping so many people, including me and I can't thank you enough.
Today I was feeling anxiety about work. It was an extremely heavy and hard sensation in my chest with a tight feeling in my throat. While I was watching this video I asked myself “does this feeling mean I’m inadequate?”. Suddenly the feelings all became soft and fluid. I just sat with them for a while and now I’m having a wonderful day. Thanks so much for the video. Can’t wait to see more!
This is new and different, and has given me hope and relief. I'm 61, and my struggles with severe depression/anxiety have been lifelong. I've been looking everywhere outside for something on the inside that's been here all along. My deepest gratitude for this medicine.
I really can’t find anyone else on RU-vid who’s wiser than you. Your words are so precious and you speak the truth of the universe. I hope more people will find your channel and this world can become better.
I see your past videos being a very CBT approach, now you're videos use another deeper psychoanalytic approach, a person centred approach, may be close to what is offered by psychologists here in England. You are a good teacher and your quiet and gentle manner is very helpful. 😊
everything you said applies to me. I recently admitted to myself of being needy, insecure, and approval seeking. some reason I think if I sleep with a hot girl or I get more money I will be happy and feel good enough. Now I am on a journey inward before I spend too much of my life trying to obtain things that do not matter like money and sex.
Money matters greatly up to a certain extent. Mainly fullfil the bottom portion of the pyramid. Balance is the key point, we cannot be fully self sufficient so we'll always need money, however, we don't need a million dollar house and a Ferrari.
Same here. I noticed that I embarked on a career in finance and put in a lot of effort into dating many women to prove that I am someone who is worthy or good enough. It's time for us to go on an inward journey my friend
Yes. Me too. I hope he shares his techniques. My issues stem from a verbally and emotionally abusive father. I never feel like I'm worthy, I'm always scared I will disappoint people and they will turn from me. It's awful.
Sleep with a hot chick she might take your money not caring about you at all..Then she might want more you will have nothing to give then she will leave..Your broke..
Hey, Dear As I was watching this, it seems that you are talking and interacting with me, I have all these same feelings and emotions and you have a great understanding of low self worth , what it is etc, I have struggled with so much low self worth in my life and still suffering. I want to tell you that I have had a hard time in my childhood, so many bullyingness, trauma and humiliation I have search all the youtube to finding the root cause of low self worth and understanding it deeply but sadly nothing found, it seems that no one actually know something about it. But this video is great, no words to say about it In my opinion , You are the most qualified person on all the internet world who know deeply about this topic I am waiting for next videos 💔💔💔💔💔
So you're telling me all this time I've been pursuing "success" with great pressure and angst all for the useless and foolish pursuit of increasing my self-worth in a manner which isn't healthy? I feel relieved and energised from such a concept. After staring down and looking for the "unworthy dragon", I came to realise it's simply a scared lizard that makes weird noises. It only looks big when you look away and a light is cast onto it making its shadow appear as that of a giant scary dragon. As long as your stare at it directly, its actual appearance is rather humorous and pitiful.
This is exactly the series I need right now in my life. I have been working with a therapist I love for 3 Years now and a few months ago she diagnosed me with PTSD. I have felt frustrated that although I understand theoretically why my negative thought spirals don’t make sense I can’t seem to stop them. But recently I realized that I can’t move forward because I have so many unresolved problems from my past. I need to go back and take a deep dive into my childhood in order to finally heal. I used to think that I would be happy if I changed myself if I stopped being that child that was unlovable. But now I know I cannot seperate myself now and in the past. If I cannot love myself as a child then I will never be satisfied with the adult I am now. I am paralyzed with the fear that I will never be loveable. Moving forward for me is about going back. If you could make a video on how to feel worthy of love when you grew up surrounded by only rejection that would be good. I just can’t figure out how to tell myself I was worthy of love when I didn’t receive any. I am autistic and I just feel too different from others. I just wanted to be a part of their world, to be normal.
You are loveable because you are. It's that simple. In a sane society you'd be loved. As someone who also wasn't validated growing up and faced quite a bit of trauma.....someone who studied made modalities and spirituality and transformation tools.......it's really a mix of "i choose to love myself BECAUSE, just because" and looking at the psychology behind why people GOT love when I didn't. I simply was too much for my caretakers to handle. Too different as a soul. Too kind, too smart, too confident. Ironically I started internalizing the opposite. What I can tell you is there are no mysteries to this process of healing. The reason you may feel unworthy is because no one made you feel worthy of it. And the reason those who feel worthy of love do, is because they ADD examples or experiences that help with that........or they just decided they were. Life is simple, and I'm making more progress now that I see there are no mysteries.............basic human psychology. We become a product of our experiences and environments. And it's unfair.....many of our situations are unmanageable and totally unfair. But we can survive and now heal. Your child self was simply a innocent cutepie in adverse circumstances....facing all kinds of negative influences. Don't overthink it. Just give love to that child. This can look like anything. There are no right ways, just as long your intention is to give that love to yourself.
YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your'e back! You were the first person to get me started on my journey of personal growth and introspection. Love u man! Super thrilled to see you again!
Hey, Noah. I just wanted to tell you that your last video, "Reduce the power of unworthiness" can't be watched. I ignore if it is a mistake or if you deleted it. Love 💚
The bit about being funny really applied to me, I would enjoy being funny & liked telling jokes to my friends but always felt the pressure of performing again when socialising & would feel anxious over being funny & acting in a certain way that would make people laugh but now I recognise & accept that it’s ok to just be you whatever you may feel at that moment ✌️
So wonderful you are back. Your new videos are filled with such sincerity, compassion and understanding. Thank you for letting us in on your journey. You are a blessing! ♥️
I am grateful for your contribution in my life with your teachings and explorations, I also want to explore these in my experience, love and joy to you!
Thank you Noah. You helped me when I was so depressed after my mom died and when I found out I suffer from life treating illness. Your voice, guidance gave me light in my Abyss, a Hell in my mind. Keep doing what you are doing, you are bright star in this universe
Love this so much. Feelings of unworthiness can never be solved with the external. The belief "If only I could lose weight, find a partner, make money...then I would be happy (aka worthy)" is clung to. Even if these things are achieved, a new "if only" is quickly added. "If only we had a better house!" You haven't really gotten to the root within yourself. I know I've been there. Thank you again for coming back 😍
The question that comes to my mind right now is, how can I go towards the pain? When I feel "lack" am I supposed to just "let it be" without seeking distractions or even jump into it (and cry) until its done? Yeah, I don't know... Whatever... Waiting for the next videos. Thank you!
Gabriel, here's what you can do: Let it be here. Let the feeling of inadequacy or unworthiness (or shame or fear) be here. Without judging it, without resisting it. Without thinking that you already know what it is all about. Without the mind stories about it. But meet it directly, without stories, meet its rawnss, its essence, its immediacy. Meet it with curiosity. That is the key. CURIOSITY. You can't hold on to stories about the feeling and be curious of the feeling at the same time. In order to be truly curious you have to put away the stories and truly look, truly become intimate with it. Be curious about the shame/fear/inadequacy/unworthiness (or any other emotion or sensation that is here presently). Like you would be curious about a wondrous new thing that you have never seen before. Examine all its aspects from all directions. Feel it fully. Without the stories about it. Without explanations. Feel how it feels like in the body. The sensations involved in it. The shrinking or freezing involved in it (for example). Notice where in the body you feel it. Notice how it feels. Not the label of how it feels but go directly to the ACTUAL feeling. And also Notice how it changes and moves. In other words, be the awareness inside which emotion/sensation appears. The awareness which is aware of the emotion. Be very very close to the emotion, be very intimate with it, BUT don't fall into it completely. Realize that you are not the emotion, but rather you are the space inside which the emotion appears (and disappears). If you want to go much more deeply into this, into how to truly befriend yourself instead of being at war with your feelings and sensation, I highly recommend the work of Jeff Foster and Matt Licata. PS. And just to clarify one thing - I wrote above to let the feeling of inadequacy/unworthiness/shame/fear (or any other internal movement) be here without judgement or resistance. However, if judgement or resistance do arise in you, then become curious about them instead. No need to resist the resistance or judgement.. (It is not 'wrong' or a 'mistake' to resist or judge. It is a wise internal movement within you). Just be curious about whatever internal movement presents itself at the moment. After all, they are all (whether it is shame or judgement of the shame) your own cast out children. Be a home to them all. They are only looking for a home in you. Be the loving home for them.. allow the fear, joy, shame, anger, inadequacy, anxiety, happiness, unworthiness, boredom, judgement or resistance to be here. Hold them in your loving gaze and let them unfold and tell you their true story (we can only hear their true story if we do not push them away, if we allow them to be here with us)..
But This Worth thing? where dose it coming from, he is talking about old content in this video, he is not denying the old content but, saying all this " how to achive self worth" is not sinking into me what is he talking about this WORTH? what IS SELF WORTH??? ITS NOT BASED ON??? openions and ideas ITS JUST A FEELING AND YET HE IS SAYING ACHIving SELF WORTH!!!?? what??
Noah, I hope you read these comments? Please stop searching for worthiness, you are the most worthy person on the planet - you have helped people throughout the world and now you can just relax - please!!! You cured my anxiety which I had had for 35 years by telling me it was just a feeling which I had labelled anxiety; as soon as I removed the label I lost the palpitations I had lived with daily all that time. You are not a god, have no need to be a god, you are no better or worse than any of us, you are just you. Stop trying to find more - STOP!!! All the nonsense you are going through now is just thoughts and stories you are telling yourself. STOP - watch your own videos and believe everything you say in them - stop the journey you are on as it will lead to more distress. I know what you mean about feeling empty when you can stop all emotions by stopping the thoughts but that is way better than deeper self analysis - you are amazing and all you have done for millions of people is more than any government or friend has done. Be content with that and keep helping others with your “old” brilliant videos. I have started watching sadhguru who adds to your logic and helps fill the emptiness. Love from Scotland
Whenever someone tells me I have low self esteem, it's like an odor I can't smell. I don't know what they mean. So I hope to go deeper with this and become more loving towards myself. To be honest ya kind of wanna tell 'em to fuck off when they say this.
I keep thinking that, at some point in the lecture, you're just going to throw your hands up and say, "You're impossible to talk to! You'll never understand life! I'm done wasting time on you!" I'm glad you're back. I enjoy our conversations, though one-sided they may be.
Man. You are so authentic, calm and positive... Just watching you sit talking or your eyes closed makes me feel better and calmer... Your videos are like hypnotic sessions, I change after watching them... I cry... Very powerful. Thank you, with ❤️
Noah I have felt unworthy since childhood. I've always know that feeling and I've tried burying that feeling many different ways just like you've said. I'm so tired of this feeling it really has kept me down, I've buckled to the feeling of inadequacy and given up on life. What do I do now??? Im so lost.
You’re amazing man, all I got to say. Keep it up these videos are truly life changing and eye opening to how many people including myself have been living life feeling inadequate.
You seem very vulnerable, like u are about to cry at any point. At first i felt it was very brave of you to let yourself weak in front of the camera, but now... I mean, I'm only concerned, if you have it under control then it's OK.
That was totally NOT my impression. He seems to me much much more stable and healthy and secure than those (the vast majority of people, especially men) who cover up their doubts and innate natural tenderness and sensitivity with masks and suppression and strategies that (they think) make them appear confident and strong.. but in reality are nothing but a recipe for misery, lack of fulfillment, a deep feeling of inauthenticity and a hiding of one's true self behind (smiling or so-called confident) masks. These masks and armouring also make it very hard to form a truly meaningful connection with others, a connection that is NOT based on projected inauthentic images.
Hi Noah, first let me say thank you for all the info and content.. New and older. The older content helped me so much get through a lot.. A break up... Deal with my anxiety.. Etc. But it was always very cold to me... Lacked soul. And some ideas could lead to emptiness.. Such as "what is love.. It doesnt exist.. Where is it?" Or ... "Everything is just thoughts..just stop thinking about that and come back to the moment" but some feelings like... Missing someone ... Those are genuine and you cant just stop missing someome by coming to the present moment... Especially if that person is no longer alive. But thank you for it all.. Excited to see this new you and gain more insight.
Noah, those of us who are excelled, need more new videos. Get moving on ur new awareness. Thus far, u have helped me more than others. I would love to be able to afford $$ an opportunity to have a consult with you. I have had celestial travels, out of body experiences and feel that I am channeling Artemis. I have tried to find local support and have spent thousands $$$ to no avail. But have learned more from u than the supposed excelled human beings in spiritual meet up groups. Get snapping on ur new discoveries of u. I've been there and know how it feels to look back on what your wrote or said and see that is not for now but was for then, when u spoke it. I wrote a book and took it off the market a few months later because it was being sent in half the hard copy and the electronic version could not be downloaded. I figured it was no for that time. Now, I feel it is time to release it again very soon. U, Noah, need to give us, at least weekly, ur new learning, as I need to write and compile my new learnings in another book to find my enoughness. I applaud u because I KNOW. In a time u feel u know all things and u enter the dark night of the soul that teaches you that you knew a crumb, but here is more. I've been in this since 1999 and have found no help and spent thousands $$$. l see am on my own with God, Source, Universe, etc. I welcome any assistance. Meeting with meetup metaphysical groups has not helped. They just brush me off and hope I find what I need to support me.
Yes, I am. I am always waiting for confirmation that I'm loved. I'm tired of it. I want to just know I am loved. I really enjoyed this video and am eagerly awaiting your techniques expounding upon this topic. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, and welcome back Noah ❤️
I woke up this morning and I was unhappy and anxious because I didn’t know how am I gonna spend another day. I’m having a 4-month summer holiday ( semester to quarter) and I’m just wasting it. I didn’t find an OPT, so now I can’t work. 99% of my time is spent in bed with phone, which makes me feel like a loser. And I realized that the only way to be happy is to do something valuable. Your video is so in time. And when I watch the title of all your videos, it describes all of my problems..... god I have so many problems. your voice is very soothing and the content is really helpful. Thanks Noah
Thanks for the video. I totally agree that we need to look into the unworthiness otherwise we just try to numb ourselves to it. I recently have been doing this using your 5 steps and The Work by Byron Katie :) I do feel unworthy in my life particularly with needing women to like me. There was a girl who I used to be close friends with who rejected me as I asked her out and I still feel like I need her love to feel good. I am struggling alot to let go of her, especially since we got close and I showed her my life. And I feel so worthless that she doesn't like me back, especially since I showed her all my inadequacies, anxieties and depression. I just don't feel good enough. Any help with how to get over this girl (who I don't really talk to anymore)? I really do need her love to feel happy I feel. I am struggling to disbelieve this though/ feeling.
I feel the same abt a boy, we both "met" like noah said, truly met without worthy n unworthy n shared love, n now he has gone back to the shell n his masks and acts in ways that hurt me, goes to other women, talks down to me, stuff like that.. Im trying hard to move on n see that they are dealing with themselves n these actions have nothing to do with me, but it is hard to believe that i will find true love someday, because i feel people always return to their masks
I am glad that you started making videos again. It helps and motivates when I go through a hard time. I am sorry to say this but it looks like you are (or I am just sensing) that you are going through some tough time. I am wishing you strength and hoping all is well. You are an inspiration to many of us, please keep going and sharing all your wonderful work.
Yea! This was a great video- like your past ones! Thanks for sharing your gifts. Our only true incompleteness is not loving ourselves, others and God as they and we deserve based on our inherit worth and dignity.
@@PiggoNZ , I don't know why but I like to pick on him, he's a far better person than I'll ever be, he helps many people without pay, he helped me too a little, guess it shows how sad, depressed and disturbed I really am.
I dont know whhhy but midway watching i suddenly feel extremely happy and could not stop laughing and smiling to avoid suspesion i had to pretend i was watching comedy!!! Whhhhat happned to me?? Can somebody explain??
Sir, thank you so so so very much for coming back!!! 🌸 We need you and your positivity. You have given life to so many people. Can't ever thank you enough for the noble work you are doing for us.
Noah you have no idea how much positive impact your content has on my life. I discovered you through Insight Timer, I try to listen there to avoid RU-vid media addiction:) Anyways thank you so much. This video is so old but I really hope you are well, healthy and content in your life. Take good care friend :)
Hey Noah , missed you saw your notification and was like wow this was my friend on my hard times , PEACE❤️ you helped me when I was sad in 2014/5/6/7. Today I am happy 💚💚
Thank you. I have a problem with the term self-"worth". Worth is synonymous with value, which implies a market where your value is compared to other things of value. Perhaps self-respect is a better term
I can really feel how you are speaking to me, to all your viewers as individuals. Thank you Noah, you reminded me to use my emotions and thoughts as tools, but not let them rule my life or say what is true or false. Thank you
A phrase you've used a couple of times in this new thread of videos is the idea of "cracking open", and this resonates a lot. Once again, just to say how tangible your acceptance of things is lately, the love behind it all. Thank you so very much
Tu, shivers for me... The flames. the warmth of your devotion Tu, children of me I love, I give the fantasy To live a life more real with light Showered with love and pain and all Emotions wait for us... IS IT FOREVER??? One love to give One song to sing Two hearts to live in harmony One love to see and feel its way... Its flames... One love to share One love to speak Hard to get there Up in harmony One love to stay Deep in my heart... Please stay!!!! Is it forever anyways?? #26/10/2019
This stuff is gold just wish this was written down because I forget what you said after a while and that why I fall back to my old ways being Controlled by my unworthiness anyway I’m writing your quotes down hopefully stay in my brain hate when I tell ppl that I’ve been following you since day one but can’t get them to understand what it is that you teach easily constantly have to watch whenever a serious event happens in my life. I AM ENOUGH! You are enough
Trying to get a house and save money so I can be independent. So quit my job? I can't! I appreciate your advice, but we stop working, we're effed man ..
Hi Noah. Thanks for the video. I have some concerns with Social Anxiety. When I am alone and these negative physical sensations pass I don't have much issues with them. However in front of other people when these physical sensations come I feel like suppressing them. For example when I am passing down the street and someone is approaching from front, I feel that my attention goes to the other person and I have to look away. Or when I feel fear or when I blush while talking to people I tend to suppress. Would you encourage to let the sensation be as it is when it comes up?
I have met a few counsellors and that has never done anything for me... talking to someone who didn't have much to say.. also time consuming... You helped me with big time grief and crisis; and i just watched a youtube video on grief.. I read a lot of psychology, and maybe too many cognitive theories, your advice helps! the way you unpack the events and the psychology, it is logical and it helps! I dont need compassion or a listener from a counselor. I need somone to break down the process.
What would your advice be if you are working through feelings of unworthiness or being unwanted and during that process someone rejects you or treats you as if you are unworthy. It can feel like that person is providing you evidence that those things are true and it makes the process of overcoming those feelings much more difficult. What is your perspective on that?
Could you do a video on how to learning to trust other people so that one can be more open and honest in the company with others? I come from a background with alot of trauma, being hurt by other people both physicly and emotionly. Spent years working with this in various ways, trying to question, detach and understand this and even though I witness some progress I still struggle alot with it. Thank you.
