How To Deal With Changes In Life (Buddhism)
In this video we will be talking about how to deal with changes in life from the philosophy of The Buddha. Gautama Buddha was a philosopher, a spiritual leader and is credited as the founder of Buddhism.
The teachings of Buddha revolve around Duhkha, which means suffering, and the end of Duhkha, which is regarded as the state of Nirvana. The philosophy’s most essential teaching includes the Three Marks of Existence, which are as follows:
1. Annica which means that life is in a constant flux
2. Duhkha which means that life is painful and causes suffering, and
3. Anatta which means that the self is always changing
Here are 4 ways we can try to not only embrace life changes, but also be happy and grow with them, from the philosophy of The Buddha -
1. Acknowledge the change
2. Practice non-attachment
3. Embrace change
4. Learn from the experience

“How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.” Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey
To be the best person you can be, to help and support those loved ones surrounding you, you need to first love and care for yourself. The idea of self-care doesn't always mean going out to the spa to get pampered. It can also mean trusting your heart and your intuition to guide you in the right direction in life. It means taking the time to listen to your heart and your intuition often. It is the kind and compassionate way you speak to yourself.

The Secret to Getting Anything You Want in Life I Jennifer Cohen | TEDx
Be BOLD by asking for what you want, versus taking what is given to you. The challenge is to practice asking for what you really want and getting comfortable with “no’s” (roadblocks) along the way. Her talk is filled with fun personal anecdotes and some practical steps for getting anything you want in life.
"Boldness is a stronger indicator of success than intelligence. Smart people think of all the negative things that will happen when things go wrong, but bold people think of all the good things that happen when things go right. Smart people can be bold, and bold people can be smart. But it’s boldness that is the secret sauce, it’s what puts you on the path of success." - Jennifer Cohen

Stop Trying So Hard. Achieve More by Doing Less. | By: Bethany Butzer I TEDx
Most of us are taught from a young age that life isn’t easy and we have to fight for what we want. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘nothing in life comes easy’ or ‘if it was easy, everyone would do it’. But what about ‘down stream’ effort. You are still trying and doing work, but working with the natural flow of life. You are more focused on the journey than the goal itself. We need to define what authentic success means personally, this will help guide you to down stream effort. You need to engage in inner work - define your values, and how you want to feel everyday!

Finding Your Inner Voice
By: Karol Ward
What would happen if you got stuck in your emotion without expression?... Disconnection...
When you are connected to the body, you know what you want! You are given the opportunity to say yes when you want and no when you don’t want. You feel secure with yourself and your choices, not caring what others will say or think. We may get confused, we may eat when we’re tired or angry; we may turn to a vice when we’re sad; but ultimately the body strives to move us toward emotional and mental health - towards balance. When the body is open, we are open to the world, open to live.
How To Figure Out What You Really Want I Ashley Stahl I TEDx
In what ways are you trapping yourself from the life you actually want? Get out of fear and come home to yourself! Ashley explains how to do this with a heart wrenching story and the following three steps:
1. Do a self audit - where are you holding yourself captive? Be honest with yourself - what’s working for you and what isn’t. Our natural state is love and creativity and over time we are taught fear. We learn to stop taking risks and putting ourselves out there. We become so self critical and scared. (What do you know that you wish you didn’t know?) Pain often launches you into your next stage of life - if you let it.
2. Follow your freedom. Pay attention to what feels good to you so you can set yourself free. Trust your gut (your second brain). Do you feel expansion or contraction, joy or fear, excitement or dread, liberation or suffocation?
3. Engage, take action, know you have the choice to connect to truth, your body, your joy and taking action!
