Retraining the Faultfinding Mind | Focus on Joyful Events to Counter Depression | Ajahn Dhammasiha

<p>Ajahn Dhammasiha explains how the faultfinding mind can deprive us of happiness, and even drive us into depression. </p><p>If we&#39;re stuck in the negative feedback loop of complaining and faultfinding, we have to gradually but consistently reeducate our mind to pay attention to good and uplifting events. </p><p>What we pay attention to (&#39;yoniso manasikāra&#39;) is so important. We have a choice where to direct our attention. However much evil is happening in the world, there&#39;s still so much goodness as well. </p><p>We can focus on beautiful and inspiring actions, acts of generosity, kindness, virtue and sacrifice, and we will discover an endless source of joy and happiness.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage:</p><p><a href="https://www.dhammagiri.net/news">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/news⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Our email Newsletter:</p><p><a href="https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Pics: </p><p><a href="https://www.dhammagiri.net/photo-albums">⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/photo-albums⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://latest-pics.dhammagiri.net">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Our Youtube Channel:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724 </p><p><br></p><p>#depression #faultfinding #joy #happiness #buddhism #dhamma #positivethinking #dhammatalk</p><p><br></p>
