Namo Vidhaya.
2
For a long period of my life, I have been the biggest critic of myself.
3
I think most of us has done that at some point in our life.
4
When we make mistakes, when we fail, instead of looking at the problem, we turn on to ourself, we blame ourself, we criticize ourself.
5
And this is called the destructive self -criticism and this leads to anxiety, depression and emotional suffering.
6
So from today's video I would like to share with you three practical steps to follow
7
and to apply into your life and completely let go of the anger towards yourself, the self -hatred and self -criticism.
8
Number one, I want you to to talk to yourself like you talk to your best friend?
9
Let me ask a question from you.
10
Would you criticize your best friend in the same way you criticize yourself in your head?
11
You wouldn't.
12
If your friend came to you in a problem, how would you talk to your friend?
13
You would support that person, right?
14
Would you say like, you will always be like that, you will always be stupid, why are you always stupid?
15
You wouldn't.
16
How would you say?
17
You would say okay that's fine let's get through this together.
18
I'm here for you.
19
I'm here to support you so let's get through this together.
20
I want you to support yourself.
21
Talk to yourself in the most supportive way.
22
Whenever you make mistakes do not turn on to yourself and blame yourself.
23
Support and say yes you made a mistake well
24
but we can correct it let's take action to correct it
25
so talking to your best friend talking to yourself like you
26
talk to your best friend is a practice of loving kindness in Buddhism there's a word called metta
27
and the common translation for the word metta is loving kindness
28
but the word metha is more closer to the meaning of
29
loving friendliness you become the friend of yourself you become a
30
good friend now understand a good friend will criticize you okay he will point out he
31
or she will point out what is wrong
32
and what where the weakness is and what went wrong
33
and say this is where you made the mistake
34
so let's get through this together and let's correct it so
35
that that supportiveness but still there is criticism understand
36
that criticism itself is not entirely a bad thing it's not
37
a wrong thing right you can criticize we can criticize ourselves to improve right
38
and that is called the constructive criticism but
39
that is not what most of the time we are doing
40
in our head right there's a huge difference between the constructive criticism and the destructive criticism.
41
What is the difference?
42
The constructive criticism is always problem -oriented.
43
That means in constructive criticism we focus on the problem.
44
But in destructive criticism we look at the person and identity and we blame ourself for that.
45
There's no good that we can gain from blaming ourself.
46
But if we can look at what we did, our behavior,
47
our actions and understand that we have made a mistake and tries to correct it and that is where our improvement is.
48
So in constructive criticism we look at the problem but in destructive criticism we look at the person, personality, right?
49
This is what most of the time athletes do to themselves, right?
50
They criticize themselves but constructively.
51
when they lose a match or when they win a match they go back
52
and they re -watch their clips
53
and to find to find out where did they make the mistakes
54
so they find the mistake and they take action to correct it
55
so that is called the constructive criticism you can still criticize yourself in a good way
56
and that leads me to the second step the second step is i want you to detach your behavior from your identity.
57
How to do that?
58
Whenever you catch yourself criticizing or blaming because of a mistake that you have done,
59
I want you to say this is not who I am, this is only what I did.
60
So you look at the behavior, you look at the action instead of blaming yourself.
61
Every time when you make when you when you
62
when you make a mistake
63
and criticize yourself you can say this is not who I am this doesn't define who I am
64
this is just an action that I have done, this is a mistake that I have done, so I need to correct it.
65
So in that way you don't label yourself from your mistake, right?
66
Most of the time what we do is we label ourselves from our mistake.
67
We say I'm a stupid person, I'm a careless person, I'm always forgetful.
68
The more you repeat this, the more you become.
69
Understand that we are what we repeat.
70
So every time when you find yourself criticizing I want you to look at it and say this is my behavior,
71
this is an action so that I can change it but this is not who I am.
72
An interesting fact about Buddhism is the Buddha says
73
that there is no single fixed permanent self called I that is sitting there and doing the mistake.
74
Every action of our life is conditioned.
75
Our identity is also conditioned.
76
That means it is under constant change which means that we can change it.
77
So that is why in Buddhism the Buddha sees
78
that it is an improvement in the noble practice
79
or Buddhist practice to see a mistake as a mistake and accept it as the mistake and taking action to correct it.
80
Buddha saw it as one of the greatest ways to improve in life.
81
So the second thing is that I need you to detach your identity from your behavior.
82
And the final step, I need you to take action.
83
Taking action is the most important thing in these three steps right although we think about it
84
and we think about it correctly and we we look at the problem
85
but we need to prove ourselves that we take action to correct
86
that mistake taking action is the most important thing right your body your mind needs evidence
87
that I'm going to change this can be changed
88
so you look at the problem
89
and you you find out what can I do about it
90
and you take action sometimes
91
that action can be difficult to take sometimes this action is something
92
that we have been avoiding for ages
93
but even though it is difficult you have to take
94
that action at least a simple step towards it so
95
that it your body needs that proof so
96
that the body your body gets that proof
97
that you are you're going to change your mind gets that proof that you're going to change.
98
And that's where the real improvement happens.
99
So these are the three steps that I need you to follow whenever you catch yourself criticizing.
100
Right?
101
First of all, talk to yourself like a friend, like a coach, like a supportive, a good friend.
102
And then I need you to detach your identity from your behavior.
103
And finally, I need you to take action towards correction.
104
So practice these three steps and have a beautiful life.
105
I wish you, may you have a healthy, a peaceful and a happy life.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
