1. Talk to a stranger
2. Meditate
3. Reduce your number of choices
4. Focus less on an end goal
5. Call a friend
6. Keep a gratitude journal
7. Sleep
I love you
I recently moved abroad and whenever I feel drained I call a friend from back home and feel recharged after the conversation, regardless of what we were talking about. A friend calling me brightens my day. If you want to call a friend just call them, don't stress about the timing or what they will think, it's a good habit to get into and keeps you better connected than messaging
Here are my suggestions: 1. Get plenty of sleep . At least 8 hours per night . Exercise regularly . Have a diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables and be careful where you get your protein .. 2. Put some effort into your relationships . Be nice to people and expect them to be nice to you . 3. Match your studies and your job to your talents and interests . Have realistic goals based on those talents and interests . Don`t underestimate yourself , but don`t over estimate yourself either . 4. Don`t clutter your life with too many clothes or too much furniture or more " toys" than you need . 5. Help other people . Volunteer or whatever , but make a point of helping others . 6. Work hard at whatever your " job" is but limit your work to 52 hours per week .
I have finished (and got the certification) for this Yale course in Coursera.
This class has absolutely been life changing, and surprisingly there's more science and discipline in being happy than expected.
I recommend this to everyone who's going though tough sh**. :)
So true i did this too
This video: Talk to strangers.
*next day while waiting for Wendy's meal*
Me: Hey how's it going?
Stranger: F*** off
Me: 😭😭😭
Daniel Rose LMAO
lol thanks your post made me feel a burst of happiness
Aww that may happen, don't take it personally, keep moving forward, the next person could become a best friend
Or they do this : 👁👄👁……👀…….😶……😶🌫️
Honey, I am not even here.
This lady: Talk to a stranger.
My mom: Don't talk to strangers.
A key difference being there's probably a decade in time between those two!
This lady (to adults): talk to a stranger
A mom (when you're less than 10 years old): Don't talk to strangers
OMYGOD Laura was my instructor in this course through Yale, and I also received my certificate!! She was such an awesome instructor, she made you feel like she was your friend, and I also loved learning about meditation, gratitude and other things to help me live a happier life overall!! I highly recommend this course and I love that I can always go back and take the course just to refresh what I've learned and keep applying it to my life especially, indeed scary, uncertain times!!❤️🥰🙏🏼
I watched this video yesterday. This morning at my doctor's appt, I looked around to make contact w/ a stranger. I exchanged hello's with the cleaning lady, then a fellow patient who I kept making eye contact with, told me to have a great day. On my way home, a man on the street apologized 'cause he thought he was blocking me. I said it's all good- and as we walked, he told me how his mom taught him to respect women, and always "ladies first." He said he had three other siblings but that his mom said he was her favorite. After that, I gave money to a homeless women then asked if she was okay. I'd never done that before- I usually just silently give money. She said that she couldn't get into the shelters. She said that she'll be getting help from her siblings soon but that she had to survive until then. I told her to keep trying the shelters and to keep strong. I went to Starbucks and bought some sandwiches for her and went home. All of this is kind of insane for me. It feels like I'm in a different world now
You changed their lives for the better too. True happiness leads us to want to see others happy and doing well and the more we reach out to connect & try to help others or those we love the better it makes us feel better too. If only more people were awake & looking for those in need🔥
@@glitterheaddentaldiaries5825 Thank you for your encouragement- it means a lot!
Money is the most depressing thing but it does help
We live in a society where doing is an addiction, we have to be doing things, instead of being
Darren Tahana .... what??
Your comment is like that football team everyone thinks would win the competition but they still manage to flop
@@bob-manuel you taking the time to make an analogy about what I said proves my point
Darren Tahana sure whatever makes you sleep at night.
I love how y'all just guessed am depressed.
Javaria Yaqub sorry hear ur struggling with depression. I’ve been there I fall back in there but we can always crawl out. When you face the sun the shadows fall behind you.
@Sulayman Guelleh I agree that always helps, but acknowledging your feelings is important too.
Talk to a stranger, meditate, less choices, focus less on the end goal and more on enjoyable activities, call a friend, journal, sleep
U da mvp
Her podcast is soo good: the happiness lab
thanks for sharing Adam 👍
I love how people 50+ especially, in their 70's, 80's He'll 90's, are going to school to further their education and also, for personal development!!❤️❤️❤️🥰
More money would help. I'm mostly unhappy because I'm always broke living paycheck to paycheck
You can be poor and still be happy. The issue is you're very focused on what you don't have rather than focusing on what you do have. Do one of the steps she said in the video: every night think of 3 things you're grateful of having in your life and your perspective will change and perhaps you'll become a bit more humble.
I bet it’s actually your job that leaves you feeling that way.
Vote Bernie. ✌️☮️💙
@@ajp4860 why Bernie? Do you think taking money that isn't yours for yourself is what solves our money issues?
@Jesus Christ what does that have to do with what I said?
Thanks, I'm cured
Not going to an ivy league school just to become a teacher or anthropologist and owing a million dollars in student loans. Now that's true happiness.
I took her free class on cursera and it was the best time I ever spent. Life changing.
Meditation really does help! 🧘🏻♀️
I just want a double wide trailer.
8: food you eat (or better say deficiency on certain nutrients) directly affects your mood.
9: physical fitness, body needs to burn energy, cells need to renew, (think of your high energy dog breeds that need to burn energy outside every day)

Thank you
Hey, Now This. I love this channel, but PLEASE stop putting links to other videos over the final words of the one I’m actually watching! Super frustrating.
0:35 right at this second, I clicked out to find the course & immediately enrolled ❤
I think it's 3.6 million enrolles now
Science can say whatever but more money would definitely make me happier. Releave stress and abolish alot of my problems.
Well, in her course she sais that once the basic needs are covered (food, healthcare, home, etc) money is not as determinant as we think in order to makes us happier
Cool, I am doing the course right now on Coursera!
Ashwagandha root.
thnq thnq so much ❤
I dunno. I prefer when complete strangers don't talk to me when I'm in line or anywhere lol
I would give it a try. People generally love being approached and it's flattering when someone takes the time to get to know you.
@@lights473 I work in customer service/sales. I have to get to know strangers all day.
Awesome
All it is, is that these people feel disconnected to the people they love, they need love and connection to feel happier, this even happens in animals. Loneliness can cause us to feel this way.
Spend time in nature getting to know it. Listen. Try to feel. Find ways it speaks. Beware what you focus your minds on.
I agree 👍🏼
Is there a website where we can subscribe to take the happiness course for free at the Yale University?
It’s on Coursera !
Meditation is to relieve the mind from the endlessness of responsibility and the overloading of the senses. The best choices should remain to encourage better discipline.
I wish science disciplines would operate in unison creating a trifecta
"Real happiness isn't just about hippy, ephemeral, granola stuff."
**proceeds to suggest hippy, ephemeral, granola stuff.
And I beg to differ, he who increases his knowledge, increases his sorrow. Today's generation is depressed and suicidal because they do not take the information they receive in stride. Happiness is subjective.

This is the real deal!
Diet and what meds you take can cause depression.. Alcohol is a depressant. Don't drink. Studying never hurt anybody but not sleeping does.. Get into a routine and stay with it..No drinking or smoking grass eat healthy, read the labels..
thanks for sharing your helpful tips for a fulfilled life Larry

What does its energy look like ?
What does it feel like?
( Perpetually Expanding Goodness, Growing, Within, From The Center Out, Like The Sun, From Within The Body, like a sloooow.....deep breath growing towards its complete & satisfied fullness, )
Such is the feeling of wellbeing.
John A. Robbins
Thank God for Jordan Peterson who steers youngsters away from this sort of quackery. Calling this science really beats the cake. By the way, Psychology isn't a hard science and happiness is a byproduct. If youngsters are emotionally vulnerable these days it's because their weak helicopter parents have failed to accustom them to the hardships of human existence. I have an 18 and a 11 year old, raised by a set of principles propagated by professionals like Peterson (real developmental and behaviour psychologists) way before these professors came into the public eye and the results are simply staggering.
Great info but you missed a. major component - movement.
Would have been a much stronger #4
2:05 if u wanna skip the jibber jabber
All good but “limiting your freedom” ..meh no thank you. Options are great, self discipline is even greater
Limiting your freedom=self-discipline.
For example, I am free to eat all the junk food I want, but I have self-discipline so I restrict myself from that freedom.
This might be the first NowThis video I don't think is garbage
Good physical health is a prerequisite to this right?
Not 2 her
Is FoooooD what makes you feel GoooooD. Restrict SoooooM and do another good work or dead.
after hearing people now claiming gender dysphoria is normal, I think science is now politically driven instead of scientifically driven.
End HOMEWORK! One should study while in the school, after that is home personal life.
Because homework exist we are unable to concentrate in class and be present, and always have that worry and insatisfaction in the back of our minds
Homework is the root cause of all my stress, unhappiness and lack of learning during the class in all my academic years
End it since preschool all the way to college!
1:55
I start wrting as I am a writer
Or I do some craft
so, my depressed, suicidal brain has been teaching itself to be a minimalist, procrastinator, weird conversation starter with strangers, wsnting to always sleep, trying to find things to be happy about and trying to find friends who will actually pick up and not ignore more for being a depressing person who has clearly! been trying his whole life to be more positive! haha cool, still didnt need school for happiness 🤦🏽♂️
2:10
Wen da video begin
Just watch anime
One Piece
@@rgliquifyy3840 on god lol I mean one piece will keep you wanting to stay alive to see luffy become the pirate king
@@pablosanchez5294 😂😂 One Piece cures my depression because it's Greaat seeing how great the crew holds it together
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord (Psalm 144). Happiness to me is less important than Joy in the Lord because circumstances may change from moment to moment. An enduring Joy in Jesus Christ is what sustains me here on earth and into eternity after I leave this wicked and corrupt world.
2:02 Video starts here.
I want an Mazda RX7 and a BMW M3 E92 and a Lexus LFA and a Porsche GT3.
Ask dan winter
1. Don’t be poor

If you want to be happy, Play minecraft
Hello Strangers, how are you???
...and apparently FOOD.

So, now CZcams knows not just what you say, or search, also what you are thinking and feeling. Oh, creepy. This is 1984.
It is also 1923.
Delete social media
Why doesn't she do yoga or sports to stay in shape? Her lessons are very good but actions should also be taken by herself to be more taken seriously.
"science"
Well with her salary who wouldn’t be
Scientifically speaking, money doesn't actually buy happiness. It's not true that the more money you make, the happier to get. Try and be more humble about your own situation for a change. Be grateful for what you already have and it doesn't have to be materialistic.
Emotional much jeez
Not judging but it appears that she uses food to achieve happiness. Unhealthy foods
Be happy in Trump 2020!
