Well, there are many of them - but most of us aren't often doing any of them. In fact we often do the exact opposite of the the things that make you a happier person and then wonder why we feel bad.
So, today in GoodForMeTV, I want to share with you 5 intentional things I do in my own life that have made a significant impact on my happiness so that you can start bringing them into your own life too.

Which one of these connected with you?
To do it with the inner critic anyways and it would eventually won’t be as strong of a influence in thoughts.
@@legacybug1599 Yes!
That thoughts are not always the truth and that exercise is so important. Going through a tough patch atm and I’ve started running again to rid myself of all the excess emotional energy and to get the endorphins following; It helps me immensely.
All of them!! Spot on in my opinion and great video as usual!
It takes a while to put all this in practice because all of these things need to become habits. In my experience one needs at least a few weeks of regular practice to form these chips in our brain that make us think or do the right things that you say, while the bad chips formed in the past slowly get rusty and deteriorate. And any relapse reinvigorates the bad chip again, unfortunately.
Now I'm still struggling with daily exercise, but I agree that even a walk makes a big difference. I walk everyday using public transports normally. If I use the car instead for 2 days and don't do any other physical activity I feel it immediately.
A few months ago, I felt suddenly quite depressed, like I've probably never experienced in the last three decades. Having learnt the lesson I went for a 10K run, and the depression was gone an hour later!
Ok it was a temporary thing and running is not the cure for depression but it does help a lot, as many researchers have proved.
I want to work on taking better care of myself physically - eating better, exercising more, etc. I always wonder what it would feel like to live in my body at peak performance haha. I'm tired of living my life through a veil of mental fog...
5 Things that Make You Happier
1. To set goals: The point of having
a goal is not just to reach the goal the point of having a goal is about
the process of how we need to grow how we need to stretch ourselves what we need to overcome the things that we need to face and deal with in the process of getting to that goal.
2. Not believe everything
you think.
3. Not let your inner critic
take over or make your decisions for you.
4. Keep your eyes on your
own practice do not invade anybody else's space with your comparison. In other words, do not compare yourself to anyone else. Someone else's journey is none of your business. What someone else has going on, someone else's success, someone else's failure, it's none of your business because it has nothing to do with you and is a waste of time.
5. Taking care
of your body both physically and emotionally and mentally.
Thanks for this!
Wow thank you
"Keep your eyes on your own practice, do not invade anybody's space with comparison"
Well said 👌👏 👏 👏
#powertruth
This one literally made me cry. Oh how I needed to hear these beautiful words ♡
I almost never leave comments on CZcams, but Julia Kristina, you are doing great work and your insights are real, helpful and meaningful. Keep going!
Thank you friend - that means to world to me. Kudos to YOU for showing up for yourself and doing the work.
Be honest with yourself at all times, it will lead you to good choices, which result in happiness. Don't be a fake!
I was drawn to you because I am sick and tired of society trying to convince me that I am redundant because I am in my seventies. ..especially when I am a lot more youthful mentally than my age...no wonder people kill themselves!!!...hoping to benefit from your wisdom...An Aussie youthful optimist🤗
Tip# 5 connected with me so much! I always remember feeling chill and better after going for a walk or working out and then I come back feeling stronger to do my homework or studying for an exam
Right? Exercise is like a drugless high!
Until I opened myself and allowed help in my life thats when I found you on CZcams, ever since me and my wife have applied what we have learned from our therapy sessions. I myself suffer from bipolar disorder and I get quite anxious in certain situations mainly from past traumas slowly but surely I have been managing my anxiety with breathing and changing my mindset to be the best version of a father to my 3y.o son and a better husband to my wife. Thank you for your work and we appreciate you hard work. We workout as a family.
Your video is as good as expensive appointment with a doctor
Really glad it helped on a deeper level.
@@juliakristinamah please reply to this query
When I had anxiety episodes especially when my name is called in a waiting room or when I was told to take lead in some job , I started shivering and felt like I will collapse or will have a heart attack and nothing happened but those 15 minutes were terrifying it scares me at times I got my self checked up heart was totally fine but Everytime I felt the same.
Please advise something specific to this issue.
Thanks
So ready to get into this 💛💛 best free therapy
Ahhh! Yes girl.
very helpful
you are right my journey is different than others
Love your advice!
You may have saved my life as well as my relationship with my toddler and my husband with just your words! I will eternally be grateful for finding you. Thanks for all you do! ♥️
hello Julia kristina. You helped me so much get through tough periods. I cant afford therapy but you kind of saved me.
You're such a beautiful person and I am very grateful to you.
"Do not invade someone else's personal space with comparison." 💖💖💖👏👏👏👏
You my dear, Are wonderful to watch and listen to. I have learned so much from you. You're a dearheart! Keep talking truth. THank you for your care for all of us.
Totally agree with you , keeping it healthy mind body and soul is definitely the way to go 👍
What you said about exercise makes sense. It's a great way to reset and shift thoughts.
Yes, yes sir!
Julia, thank you once again, rewatched your video and it was refreshing to hear your wise words again. Everything you say is amazingly helpful. You are a 🌟, best wishes.
I love how expressive you are!. The deep breath you take at 13:03. You have such genuine enthusiasm and passion and compassion. You really come across well in these vids. A stellar presenter!
Thought as much
Thank you friend - that means a lot. Grateful to be able to share this information with you.
@@juliakristinamah please reply to me also dr
Agreed!
I agree she is very personable and infectious. 🙌
I love this idea of experimenting with the food. Pick a day for nuts, greens, lean protein and then see how it works.
Julia, they all connected with me! I have a great therapist, but I realized I needed to do my own work as well. Recent cancer survivor with 40 years of managing MDD. The “critic in your head” resonated with me. Also the physical activity and clean eating. I found your channel in my feed. I subscribed. Thanks for your support!
I just came accross you and loved your positivity!
Hello, Julia I stumbled upon your channel . I believe it was meant to be since I’m trying to become intentional with my life . Thank you
So true about Empaths moving our bodies to flow all the messages out we're getting constantly. Put on an upbeat, positive playlist, comfortable clothes and walk those messages out of you. It was hard for me to start, but once you do, you will look soo forward to it!👍😍 Thank you for confirming the reason why I'm happier now
I am soo thankful that I discovered your channel!!
Fabulous reminders... Especially... "Keep your eyes on your own practice"... Love it!! ❤️❤️❤️
A huge one, right? It's a life changer when we remember to remember this one.
Your videos have been extremely helpful in the past few days. Thank you.
I love chatting to my mum and brothers and sisters... I think putting your self first, eating and drinking well. I am able to share my thoughts and feelings and things with others. I will set goals and focus
2 thumbs down?
Who are these people!
Thank you and keep up the great work!
lol. I'm not for everyone - and that's cool ;-) I appreciate you, though
Don't worry or waste your precious time and energy thinking about the other people that might not hav liked the video or thumbs downed it for some reason. I would begin now to practice keeping your eyes on your own trip. The thumbs down is their trip not yours. I don't mean this in a neg way but in a loving and friendly way. All the best to you. xo
When I have bad days I always say “I’m not going to have bad days any more” but they keep happening and yesterday was a terrible full of bad emotions. Today I woke up more hopeful and I thought of you Julia and how maybe you might have a video that could help me and I came across this one ☝️ thank you. I went for a power walk to simply get my body moving and reflect. I thought of what you said about goals and the importance of the process and to keep my eyes on my own practice.
I desperately want to feel good about myself and where I am in my life. I will put all five into practice.
I found you because i was searching for some type of video to make me happy😊😊😊thank you... I feel like we're talking face to face👍👍👍
New to mindfulness and loving it...
Again you are filling in the blanks between partial fulfillment and those extended reaches that will encompass the optimal potential that one can achieve. Thanks again for another great presentation. Take care and keep up the good work
Thank you my friend. Your words mean a lot.
My pleasure. You earned them.
Thanks again.
People should concentrate on themselves... absolutely agree 💯
Hi Julia I'm going to work on a goal for one thing a try not to let my inner critics get to me this week, have a great week.
DETECTING PATTERNS is KEY for those of us in transition from past harming patterns. WE
need to key into the specific phrases that continue to give us an un-easy gut
reaction. TIP: 1. Make an inventory of these statements. 2. Make it mandatory
to combat this with WORDS TO YOURSELF that are accurate and kind. 3. Create and
recite an affirmation each morning, specific to you, detailing you deserve
happiness. BEST PRACTICES and WISHES to us ALL!
Hi Julia, I really like your talks. I find them interesting and inspiring ...practical and true.....
I absolutely love your videos.
Thank you for putting in an effort. 😍
Miss, thank you very much, your lectures are very important for me to get improve the charactor
This was a revelation. I need to do this work.
Thank you again!💞
I just want to say Hi. I have been enjoying your videos for the past week or so. I found them as I was looking for insights on self-care and highly sensitive people. I wish I had tuned in sooner but am glad to have found them. Thank you for the wonderful library of videos.
Positive self talk and reframing thoughts is what I think is one of the most helpful ways to gain joy.
thank you
Stop comparing yourself to others and going forward with your inner critic. Do not let it stop us!
Thanks for all the videos, you have a great way of explaining common feelings and how to move forward through them.
So glad it connected Emma. Grateful that you're here!
Excellent it's very important topics.I am very glad to listening ur mindful.
A whole committee of critics - ROFL - so true!!! Much easier to deal with them while one is laughing, thanks!
Ha! Don't take those a*holes too seriously ;-)
Hi Julia, I am a newcomer, I lived in the Downtown East Side for 22 years, but I am now back in ON. I like your approach: outfront, simple and 'Go for It'...Vicki
Hi Julia, dealing with the inner critics really helped me and I felt a weight lifted. Thank you soo much, I've wrote most of it down. I will try and remember everything. Thank you soo much ❤️
Your previous videos helped me a lot but I also found out that It's just me who can help me to come out of negativity , I killed my anxiety by facing all the fears and doing my part leave rest to almighty God and I did very well.
But yes people like you open the door of mind.
Thanks a ton for the effort
GOOD for you for being willing to do the work. Glad you're here.
@@juliakristinamah thanks again
You are doing a noble Job by helping people fighting their fears and smile again
I love you so much already! Like,I just discovered your videos like two days ago, but I am soooo feeling your message. Thank you for being here!!
Hi Julia. I'm new...all of these are great. Moving the energy every day is my favorite. I've started 10 minute meditation daily and it helps me feel grounded.
Keep your eyes on your own yoga ! Wow I do this in yoga and life .
Compare. I'm going to stop. Thank you
Hello. I really excited. All topics are so important.
I found you in a bunch of pop and rock music videos and boy, was I lucky!
Thank you !!!
I loved this video ❤️ Learning to manage our inner critic is transformative.
AMEN TO THAT!
You are SOOO GOOD!! You and Candace Van Dell are off the CHAAAIIN!!! 2021 Look our bcuz empathy are goin get it!!
Thank you for talking about hapiness ,I am tryingvto b happy and also achieve certain things in my life ,but some people constantly try to destroy it, also intentionally
Im gonna really try to incorporate these things into my daily life :) thank you!!
2 points hit home with me. The point about the thoughts being just thoughts and not rules. And minding your own practice. Someone else's practice is none of my business bc their outcome does not affect me. That one hit the closest. Thank you
My inner critic based on my mother's thoughts. I need your couching program.
I loved this so much! Everything that I believe in is here.
Thank You 💐 these five points really resonated with me and it took a long journey to peel off all those negative labels that were put on me by mean people.
Following from Trinidad and Tobago....good stuff!!
Hello Julia. Kapil here from Delhi, India. I'm so so so glad to have found you. Through one of your videos I found out that I am a highly sensitive person. Each word you said in that video resonated deep and it was an epiphany. How I connect with food, music, animals, politics etc, is just so crazy and non-normative. But I've always been a little critical of myself for being that way. It's like I just can't chill and everything is just a big drama and it can't be the other way. But your video made me know myself and embrace it. I found my strength which as you said is how people confide in sensitive people too soon because the comfort they feel is just very strong. And we're genuinely empathetic and helpful. But I really need to work on the boundaries part. Listening to you is really therapeutic. It's like you're talking directly to me. Wish you were my psychologist for real.
My first video of you was about how to deal with a partner who has depression which helped me a lot to understand my boyfriend who's been battling with depression, anxiety and addiction, and probably bipolar or ADHD.
I have also been diagnosed with severe anxiety.
Thankyou just click on to your channel yesterday more positive already juila thankyou
First off congratulations to your success in everyday life issues that typically stop most people and I completely understand you put your work in to get where you're at congratulations
Your wonderful soul radiates
Love these thank u Julia
Something that has really worked for me, antidepressants......they work!
Ran across this on utube when googling how to be calmer and happier. I thought you were going to say to meditate. I was relieved when you suggested having boundaries, not feeling guilty, saying no, taking care of myself. Thanks, I needed that!
We can learn to handle life's difficult situations better - I like that a lot. Thanks Dr. Kristina. Can I simply add for anybody reading comments that it is not how many times you fall that matters, it is how many times you get up again. This quote is attributed to many successful people like Abraham Lincoln, Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Custer, and even Japanese Proverb. Weird, huh?
Ciao da Milano Italia....grazie per la condivisione..
I really connected with the "don't compare your practice " one. I'm in film animation at school and like you in your yoga course, I'd always be taking a lil peek at the work of others ( who was better, who was worse) and it used to really mess me up mentally. I'd never feel good enough! But I've grown and had more experience...and i realised that when i just focus on my own art/pratice I have a lot more confidence (and fun) while creating my animations!
Yes!! GOOD for you. I couldn't love this more.
Whenever my inner critic comes up, I summon my inner protector. My inner protector is my biggest cheerleader and reminds me I’m good enough and worthy.
I believe we all have an inner protector and can summon the protector whenever the critic shows up. This has made a world of difference for me.
Thanks Julia I visited my wife in hospital today parked as far away as possible from her ward. That was the easy one. Fighting those negative thoughts of her recovery is so hard. X
Thank you for the download..
Good for you.
I totally agree... thanks for the video.. it's a big help for me...
Came across this video in my news feed. Thank you for this message I so much needed to hear!
I always learned new things Everytime I watched your videos👇👇🙏🥰 thanks alot ❤️😻
Thanks
Thank you julia kristina.
Hard Physical exertion is the only thing that manage to shut my brain storms for 6 hours strait.
Only trouble is that it scales up muscle tone. It is easy to conceal it in the winter, but it is unnecessary show off in the summer.
Love that saying - “Stay in your lane bro” I use that when I start comparing my journey- stop doing that! Lol- where I am is exactly where I am meant to be ❤️
I just started a journal, this was my first entry....Thanks doll ❤
Awesome! so glad it connected.
Thank you for your videos. I saw my first video on codependence because my therapist suggested my step sister is codependent. I enjoyed your videos so much I keep watching more and more to learn about new topics.
I've been listening to several different videos in the last few months. I used to go to a therapist a few years ago, and would benefit from going again, but unfortunately with health care so expensive I just can't afford to go regularly with the health care bills of my children as well. Anyhoo, this has been a godsend and I've gained a lot of insight through watching these videos. They've made me feel less alone and more empowered in getting a healthier mind and body.
I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now & I’ve never commented before, but I’d like to take the opportunity to say “Thank you”...it’s been an incredibly challenging time for everyone & for me, you’ve been a port in so many storms.
Love & light ✨🙏✨
Thank you. I appreciate how you explain setting a goal.
Really glad that one connected with you Donna.
Hi Julia, subscribed a few weeks ago, one of your videos showed up on my feed and it was helpful. This video is excellent, echoes a lot of what my therapist has said over the past few years, things I need to remember when my thoughts turn on me. Thank you!
Welcome Kerry! Glad you're here and grateful this helped solidify some truths for you.
I have been praying for Wisdom and I found your channel. I have always taken the shortcuts because of not just a few inner critics, but a roomful of them. I am finding more peace with each of your videos. Thank you. Keep up the good work! Love you. You are my person!
I wondered if you were going to mention something about why money doesn't buy it. You seem like someone who could tell us. Come on Julia! Spill it!!!!!
Challenging that inner critic definitely connected with me. I don't have to believe every thought that pops in my head and yes, many times I have to push through the negativity and "Do it afraid" as Joyce Meyer would say. And when I do, it's amazing what manifests...truth.
Hiiiii I’m new thank u for this ! You are an absolute blessing
This is so good! The last suggestion is so true for me. I follow it every day, and it makes a huge difference! Thank you!
These videos are beyond helpful wow
Julia, you are a big inspiration to me. I look up to you. ❤️❤️❤️
New here - well I’ve listened to a couple videos - so really first time commenting. I really enjoy your videos.
What I have a problem with is the inner critic & failure. Now I know thoughts are just thinking & they are not me. Emotions are just experiencing & are related to my relationship with them. Failure can also be changed by my relationship with it. I am relearning at age 65 how to change so many things that change is becoming is my best friend. Thanks to Julia & my well developed Anterior Cingulate Cortex. Now let's all go out and increase our self-esteem by "self control" & brain development so we can be role models of strength & true beauty from within.
You are the best 🤩🙏🏼❣️
