I thank you from the heart There is no need to say how helpful and effective your videos are. You are really helping me coping with an anxiety which have been blurring my mind and ruining my life for too long. Thank you!
honestly, thank you. you’re truly changing my perspective and my life with your words. i am so grateful that God led me to your videos, again, thank you so much.
When I retired, I took a leap of faith and self-published some e-books on Amazon. I failed miserably. This experience created a fear of failure, which you have described in your video. I felt I was not only a terrible writer, but I made a fool of myself. Your video has helped me to understand that I was not prepared and I did not plan enough to get the job done. But as I reflect on your presentation, I realize that I wanted to be admired and at the center of attention, and because I didn't succeed, I felt I wasn't good enough. Besides, I wanted to be rich. All these thoughts did not and will not bring me happiness and peace. But I do want to write. However, I want to do it for the pleasure of it, not for money or fame. Thank you, Noah.
Absolutely love your teachings! Even though I suffer from anxiety and ruminations, I am also very analytical. And because I am analytical to a fault, your videos help me so much by breaking down things into common sense. This allows me to dissect my fears and make sense out of them. Your teachings by far are the best I have ever found to make progress in my recovery to feeling normal again.
I'm thinking of making a HUGE life change and I've been frozen in fear. I found this to be so helpful and somehow, just while listening, the nervousness in my stomach began to calm. Thank you!!!
I love the concept and have applied it to all the "insignificant superficial" fears successfully, but what about primal fears? Like: the fear of death or the fear you feel when you are having heart palpitations or an asthma attack or a diagnoses of terminal illness ect... I think a video on this matter would help a lot of people. Thank you for helping so many people.
+Noah Elkrief Look, I was typing with a guy in skype.. he didn't know me and i acted like an unknown girl... now he knows that i'm not that girl... The most shocking thing was he knew where i live... I think he will find me one day and make something.. im afraid of this
Thank you for your videos Noah, they are very inspiring and show the lead to follow... I recently read a quoted that really inspired me and made me understand how fear acts on me. Here it goes: "When fear knocks on your door, let faith answer and you will see that there is nobody outside".
Thank you 100000000000000000000000000 times!!!!! I have/had a fear of strong winds because I tought that I might get harmed in some way so when you said that the bad outcome that I am thinking of may not be bad at all. Now I have kinda reduced my fear of wind so thanks again!
Thank You, this was very useful. I am creating a seminar about "How to overcome fear" and I really likes your advices on action steps, so i will definitely suggest them to my audience.
Noah, I really appreciate your calm presentations and the logical stepping stone approach of them, how to link things together and that makes so much sense to me as you break things down. When you asked the question what do you really want and left a pause, I answered you as I watched it on my phone "peace" I said. Thank you for getting thoughts into bite sized pieces and for being so calm. You help a lot and I find you to be a steadying influence, allowing me to take that breath to slow things down and work through issues without it being over facing or overwhelming. Many thanks for this.x
Thank you so much for your videos. I find them extremely helpful even if it takes me a lot of effort to free myself from my previous (negative) thoughts on these subjects.
Hi Noah, I really thank you for your valuable videos. These videos are very helpful in coping with day to day stress, anxiety and depression. It seems you got damn real life practical experience though you are quite young. Once again thank you very much and please keep uploading such precious videos.
Loved it!!! Helped me see the inner workings of the mind with fear - AND get over something monumental I've been struggling with. Really helped! Thank you - you have changed my life for the WAY BETTER!
Dear Noah, I'm writing this comment to let you know how much I appreciate and thank you for these videos. Carneigi says people have deep desire to feel important and the way you get this feeling of importantance defines who you are. Teaching us that, another person's opinion or action doesn't make you less or more valuable is a great thing to learn to be able solve our deep issues on our own. And I would like to thank you for showing me and others a way to achieve this feeling of importance within ourselves, rather than from things or people that we have no control over. I love you for that, whethet it means something for you or not. :D Take care, stay safe.
Thank you so much for your videos Noah! You are honestly a blessing, I'm going back to school soon & I was really afraid. But watching this gives me so much hope! You made me feel better ❤️
Been struggling with anxiety and fear again, loss of sleep and constant headaches for the last week because of a possible job loss and restarting all over again, then I re-watched your videos. Noah, you're a lifesaver. Thank you.
No one on here makes as much sense as you do my friend. You definitely know what you're talking about and you know how to go straight to the heart of the matter. Thank you for your insight.
Hi. Your videos are amazing! If you could, I would love to hear you adressing how to overcome fear when it. comes to doctors and bad experiences relating to them. Kind regards from Portugal :)
Yano Noah, ever since I discovered free will doesn't exist, I lost my judgement of others. Sometimes I judge but then I remember it's not their fault. However I cannot let go of judging my past actions. I don't allow myself to be around people. Too much shame. They would judge me as they do not operate as if people are not in control. I even have a thought, that you do not like me.
some times i lelt fear control me in making alot of decisions And thanks to ur video i learnt some techniques.. and i am going to apply it I am going to live my life with no regrets
I was thinking someone was gonna break into me house right now cause 4 years ago someone knocked on my door at midnight so I had to get a gun and that scared me so bad I cried and stayed up all the nights but this video helped me so much! Thank you Noah Elkrief!
Petros Zeleskakis Yes, I will. But, basically, you just have to find the thing your anxious about. It's usually about purpose, failure, impact, potential, or something along those lines.
hi Noah , your really helping me , i am going through a little crisis here [i know i just labeled it !] i often feel a terrifying ,deep despair about existential thoughts . they seem so real and scary! any comment?
Very helpful when you're struggling to meditate with ocd. I keep getting images of bad health in my head, knowing the power of thoughts in meditation. Because of that fear it created ( thinking "What if those images make me sick?"), I stopped meditating. I'll give it a shot again now.. keeping in mind I don't have to believe those :)
This definitely helps cause I graduate highschool next year and I am scared because I am going to be walking down the isle in front of every staff who is there but I mean at least I will be with other seniors
Thank you SOOO much I had really bad anxiety of the future cuz I'm the youngest out of my brother and sister and when we get older they will die first and I'll be alone,all alone😥and they are so nice
I should set daily goals and work towards acheiving them but not worry about the outcome. If I don't achieve desired outcome I shud not worry try again next day . That's what you are saying ?
As I came across this video I have to say that this is so great!! I really am not the person to fear things at all, but when I was little looking back at my life really their was not that many things I was afraid of. However the things I was afraid of was things out of the norm. 2 major things I was super afraid of were Balloons and cuckoo clocks. The shapes of them for some weird reason and the popping. Beeings that I have no vission and blind I was afraid of that. Thinking that the balloon was going to chase me and hurt me. Like you said. Years and years later now as an adult it was the thought that provked it. O.K. Here is the other one that I was deathly afraid of. The cuckoo clock. Why in the world would I bee oh so fearful of a clock one would ask? Well, as a blind person I heard the weird and not normal noise. I was not afraid of any clocks I don’t think, but the cuckoo clock made me go into screaming and crying that i would wake up my family at night!! It was a very very unfimular sound and again, it was thought. The thought was that the bird was going to come out and jump on me and attack me and eat me. Where that whole time even though the clock made its cuckoo every hour nothing was happening to me the clock was on the wall sounding. Theirfore, it was the thought. I had this thought that the cuckoo was going to jump out and come down to where I was sleeping and start pounding me and jump on me. Hahahahaha!!!!! Weird thought? Yes. Well, how did I overcome my fears of the cuckoo??? WEll, it was step by step. Until I got a little older. I kept hearing a little bit by little bit cuckoo clock sounds. And in fifth grade, a teacher had brought in a cuckoo clock. I don’t know how it happened, but she made the cuckkoo clock sound and I didn’t do anything. I was laughing. So over time I got rid of the fear. Plus, I think that it had to do with age as well, and my perseption of things. Then well, of course, I just got over that fear and as I heard cuckoo clock sounds, from different people’s clocks that they had, i didn’t seem to care, and just realized it was just a time peace that was chiming the hour with a different and unique sound. Now balloons well,,,,,,, i just had to take a step and bee around them more. Getting use to hearing people popping balloons and not bee so squeemish about it. Touching the balloons and blowing them up myself. Now that i am an adult I at night think about the things that I was afraid of and I look back at my little kid self and I say “wow!!!!!! And laugh about it.”” Can’t believe I was such afarid of those things. Now it seems kind of funny and I can laugh about the 2 things that really freaked me out. All in all though, I was really not afraid of that many things. Listening to things I was afraid of though when I was little now, it is just like every day sounds. Absolutely nothing to bee afraid of. Now, I am able to help others when they tell me they are afraid.... I actually am trying to help a girl that i went to school with and she lives a sheltered lifestyle with a family. She is deathly afraid of beeing independant. She is afraid of traveling alone and even just crossing the Street. She wants to bee independant but her fear is taking over her so bad that she says that she is not able to bee independant. Well, I live kind of far from her but I try and email her about this.
I enjoy your hypnosis sessions addressing fear of failure. My problem is, when I even think about doing certain tasks, I’m paralyzed by physical discomfort and anxiety. These negative feelings are debilitating. Any advice on overcoming and/or getting past these feelings? Thanks!
I had a huge fear heights and my summer camp has a huge high ropes corse and so I stopped listening to my head and I got over it and I realized when I got down that my fear of falling was silly because the wires and ropes could hold 5,000 I may have cried but I did it and finished it thanks I even slipped and that actually helped me because it made me know I was safe
This was always my issue when I went to do anything, mainly the dating scene. I always was outcome dependent. Focusing on trying to get a specific outcome to happened, and by doing that, it created the outcome that I fear the most.
Great Video Noah, Thank you. I was wondering about the following: as you say "...If you do not know the outcome will be bad for you, then why having fear about that". I hope I get it right. If so, my question is: If you do not know whether the outcome of some activity would be good for your life, then why bother with that activity at all? Why should I do the next step towards getting new job/new girlfriend/moving to other town/etc?
i was scared to do a backflip and watching this vid made me over come my fear of me hurting myself and looking like an idiot doing it.THANKS SO MUCH KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK (:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Noah, I appreciate you and your teachings of true self and peace. You have helped me along in my process, thank you. I have two questions, the first being about choice. I understand thoughts are not under our control but what about the choice to follow a thought. Isn't it my choice to believe a thought or disbelieve a thought? I can choose to get angry or be in peace? Is choice just another way of taking credit or just an illusion? The second question, What is our relationship with the physical body? You said, "pain is not real", The body only has sensations. I would like to explore this further with you. Thank you for your time.
my fear well, I have a huge fear of the dark. Every time I turn my lights out and want to go to sleep my body starts getting hot my heart pounds I get sweaty and think of scary horrid thoughts. how could I get rid of this eroctic and random fear?
