1. Nutrition
2. Exercise
3. Water
4. Sunshine
5. Temperance
6. Air
7. Rest
8. Trust
They all definitely help.
Thank you 🌬🙏🏽🤲🏽🙌🏽♾️
Seeing the list is a great reminder thank you!
Good sleep should be there!
Where is SLEEP
1. Nutrition: Acording to centenarian studies eat beans.
2. Exercise: It produces good neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, etc.
3. Water: Helps with the transport of triptophane.
4. Sunshine: It helps you sleep, and it helps with the pain.
5. Temperance: Equilibrium or Ecuanimity of experience, for example don't abuse Drinking Alcohol/Coffe and don't smoke cigars
6. Air: Spend time Outdoors/Nature.
7. Rest: Don't Overwork, basically you're not a machine, you need it.
8. Trust: have Friends, Family, a Community that you love and loves you, that and a Purpose.
This is a bad resume but a I try to summarize it as simple as I could so you don't have to see all the talk, its quite boring.
Thanks mate, even a "bad" but accurate summary is better than no summary.
Trust family? Not easy
@@eaumartineau7890 lol lol
I think the talk is fascinating but either way thank you so much for your list, you save me a lot of time
Thanks 🙂
He is a good speaker: lots of pauses, looks at the audience, some humor, brings in previous concepts, analogies, data.
Are you related to this guy
@@p1dru2art you don’t think he’s good? He at least seems comfortable and well read on the topic.
Agree. Gets his message across brilliantly.
Summary

5. Temperance
6. Air

8. Trust
The 8 principles seem incredibly obvious at first, but they've become increasing hard to incorporate into our lives lately! Thanks for the reminder dan banos!
Agree Nikhita. The question is then; why have we made our lives so difficult that it becomes hard to implement/live such natural principles? Maybe it is sound to look at our lives in general and first reduce what makes them complicated. Then secondly, incorporate (one by one) these 8 principles
Yes you must change your life style. Or your brain will suffer. Prioritize brain health or personality disorders kick in. It can also lead to more severe mental illness like scizophinea
@@greenapple6 There's probably a TEDX or CZcams video answering your question / concern.
its easier to post a typical comment. but, i want to point out how lucky we are in india. the purpose. the sunshine, the sleep, the veg diet, the temperance, the trust.
hard to incorporate ? just cycle to work.. you will get air sunshine nutition ( because of hunger ) water exercise almost everything
love the way he expresses himself thank you ...love this video
This is the talk I've been looking for... THANK YOU Dan Banos!!!
He delivered awesome points and with much style... BRAVO!!!
How important is mental health! My non-negotiable is that I have to go to gym at least every Saturday morning to start my weekend in a good mindset!
This presentation is really impressive! I really admire the fact that the keynote Learned English so now he is able to teach other his knowledge! Really admirable!
Thank you , simple and easy to remember .
Hatem Khrouf hjdjjdjdd
Thanku very much for your explanation
Great principles! They take practice but are so important.
Very good and a nice delivery, thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge by the way ive been looking for these answers for many years now. It is so helpful. Thank you so much once again.
Same here. I guess it's common sense but in the stressful times we live in, we don't always give ourselves the times we need, even if we can.
Back to the BASICS. Need to keep our lives simple and avoid excessive consumption.
Excelente conferencia, explicada con claridad y simpleza. Muy bien. Muchas gracias.
your Spanish is rlly good dude
Thankful for this video 💛
Its such a HELPFUL SEMINAR AND INFOMATION AND THE CONNECTIVITY IS BEST
Bravo! Well done! Newstart!
Great way to remember these principles! Thnx Dan Banos
These principles sound simple..the little trick is in applying it
Thank you !
Thank you so much for this.
Yes . Thanks ! I'm getting the help I need , but hearing it reinforced is also a help .
Music for your soul and peace of mind, relaxing music is here.💆♀️💆♂️
Thanks for the talk. Very insightful and inspiring
I appreciate hearing this
Beautiful Ted Talk!
It’s Things I’ve Hurd Before.
But Hearing Him Today, Was A Refresher I Needed So Greatly.
…Great Speaker…
As I age I've consolidated my 'felt' brilliant insights into exactly what my mom and dad told me before I reached ten. I liked this presentation
Simple but true
16:20 So critical and such a vital need today!
Good lecture.
Indirectly this guys told that we need to make balance among the five basic element. Out of which he clearly told about Sunshine(Fire), Air and Water. I got metal clarity to know that temperance and trust also play a vital role in achieving Mental Stability. However I had already got this fact in Hinduism Mythological Series. I am happy to hear that whatever I had known that are proven fact. Thank You DAN 😊
This is not a myth...so just avoid bring your hindutva BS here
Excellent need these in this corporate society !!!
Thank you. It was very informative because there was conflicting information out there about certain topics.
Discussion about mental health conditions like ptsd should be openly available to everyone
great video. very informative.
Perfection.
thanx very much
i love your lecture
Grasias-Blessed Be
Thanks😊
just amazing
Thanks. I enjoyed this. I think most of us know a lot of what was discussed but it helps to be reminded and get refocused on our health. It's easy to get distracted with our busy lives and the frequent distractions. Without health we really can't live optimal lives and enjoy the other things people strive for.
This is a great confirmation of SAMHSA principles
Sound advice.👍

Awesome I dont deal with it but ill share this 👍👏❤
Profound !
Very useful
He could be right ... Could have just said.. Moderation in everything and surround yourself wth people you love and who love you.
I’m hosting a community event on solutions for better mental health. This video is great for that reason alone.
Thanks so much for sharing on this important topic! To add to this, nutrition is an important factor when it comes to anxiety! Several nutrients that can result in anxiety if you're deficient include: magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6!
I think this kind of video should share to people as i know a lot of people are depress nowadays😕 including me.
Very informative
Amazing content
I clicked on this video by coincidence during my jogging session. Feeling goooood now as I cherish the jogging hours especially when I feel sad. Thanks for sharing these principles. I will ponder on them. This was precious.
thanks
This book has done wonders for managing stress and my physical health too. It explains the best way to breathe and ways to use breathing practises to improve physical and mental health. A very useful book. It's called The Full Breath by James Francis
Excellent refresher
Correct .
@@v.dargain1678 I'm glad I got that correct LOL
Namaste
The stomach needs healthy food from outside to keep it healthy , while the mind needs pure thoughts from within to keep it healthy.
Thanks
Would love to see a more in depth TED Talk on this subject.
Me too
Allowed.
Well done sir, great Ted talk. 👍🏼👏
So simple things but doing hard
thanks for the video! =)
💚 Let's spread positivity and break the stigma
good speaker
Sounds like the Seventh-day Adventist Health Message. Amen to NEWSTART
You knowww!!!I was convinced he is after that quotation he paraphrased which says "the greatest want of the world is the want of men-men who will not be bought or sold,...men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall." from the book Education.
Those eight principles are necessary for a healthy live. It's also important to keep a balance.
I liked the video as soon as he said nutrition!!! Eating fruits have really helped my mood improve so much! My next video will be on Vitamin C and mood, stay tuned!!!
Thanks!
My picks:
1. Water
2. Exercise
3. Temperance
4. Trust
Nice pics
Sugar could have been added to temperance or total abstinence or reduction like the meat in nutrition category.
I agree with that. Since letting go of eating sugar I've lost a lot of weight and feel better mentally as well.
Nice talk, I was feeling that I need to go to psychologist because I was not feeling well mentaly but after listening this I realized, I am not following any component of NEWSTART. Thank you for guidance 🙏 ❤️
Even in 2021 its needed
Happy holi
Make life colourful
12:00 BRILIANT KEY POINT...... This was given in 2015.... What if this message was sent around the world on Emergency Message Network 3/2020? Thousands could have been saved!!!
Well done Daniel my friend - PT
1. Nutrition(add probiotics)
2. Exercise
3. Water
4. Sunshine
5. Temperance
6. Air
7. Rest
8. Trust (bond with others face to face)
To the person reading this, you’re absolutely amazing and wonderful! God is SO great! God is SO real!! God bless you!!! God bless everyone!!!❤️❤️❤️
i concern, it's how I live!
I like this, although it is a bit difficult to remember what all the letters stand for! Maybe there should be one for things we should consider stopping or reducing, as they can harm mental health - S-T-O-P (S - Social Media, T- Texting (addicted to your mobile phone) Obesity (too much sugar and refined carbs) P - Procrastination). OK, perhaps as contrived as NEWSTART, but worth a try :-)
You don't need all of those abbreviations to remember how to live.
@@eaumartineau7890 I agree, I don't, but many people I come across seem to need pointing in the right direction to sort their lives out.
I like the symbols better and did a screenshot of them!
Always worth trying a new coping mechanism Paul.
I think it's true in my 30 years of having mental illness that a person must live a balance God designed us to stay active doing many things. I think that's the key to stay active with people and not be by yourself all the time. To go play basketball eat well go for a drive go walking do art study the Bible a little bit I mean keep active when the brain is active and the body is active you basically are going to have good mental health. What happens to most mental health people they sit around doing the same old thing everyday the mind turns too not thinking well. Everybody needs time alone too. And you need to do a little work.
yet we still have to love and respect all the other people, who are doing different. in philosophy the human character is divided into 9 virtues, all with positive and bad sides, god is the one who created us, we created the idea of the 9 virtues.
Stay cool Kevin
Is resting (sleeping )during day still a good principal?
Can you give a source for the research about gathering together giving 14 years more life expectancy? Id like to look deeper into that :)
It may be from a book called, "THE BLUE ZONES". the author had been commissioned to travel around the planet to areas that the citizens lived long healthy and happy lives❤️🙏..
You can also watch the documentary, I believe it was PBS.
@@janecaswell7579 Thanks for the info 👍
If I can suggest something is a book “Self observation “by Ted Hawk.Fascinating
Did you mean by 'Red Hawk'? I looked for the book and couldn't find it under 'Ted Hawk' 😞 However, I did find Self Observation by Red Hawk, is that it?
@@Writinghood Yes Red Hawk sorry for the mistake
@@ifnotnowthenwhen9063 Got it, Thanks 😊
Nice sir..... I Do
How ironic it is that we have to watch a TEDx video just to realise that we need good food, water, sunshine & air to live physically & mentaly happy life. We have depressed our beautiful nature which used to serve us everything by default.
1. Nutrition: Eat beans. People who lived to be 100 had a mostly plant based diet and ate meat about 5 times a month.
2. Exercise: Exercise alone helps diminish symptoms of depression & anxiety. Being active produces endorphins(happy chemicals) & serotonin in your body.
3. Water. Our bodies are made of 70% water, 80% of our brain needs components found in water. Water helps those necessary nutrients travel to our brains.*Gets up to drink some water* Water clarifies your mind and makes you happier.
4. Sunshine. Taking in sunshine helps you sleep, learn, memorize clearer, concentrate better, & decrease levels of pain in our bodies. Amazing.
5. Temperance. Find a balance in your life that can set you up above the average. Introduce habits & behaviors to help mental health performance. Don't smoke tobacco or drink alcohol, nothing good comes from it. Avoid coffee because it increases symptoms of depression & anxiety. Learn to abstain from harmful things.
6. Air. Spend time outdoors and let nature do what it was intended to do.
7. Rest. Getting at least 8 hrs of sleep gives mental clarity, helps you memorize & remember things clearer,enhances creativity, & to think objectively and analytically.
8. Trust. Keep your family/people you love close & invest in your relationships. Spend a good amount of time with like minded people. Trust in something that gives you a sense of purpose (God, The Universe, Etc.).
Pick 3 and focus on improving those aspects of your life. He recommends Nutrition, Rest, & Trust.
Did this on 3.5 edibles. lol
Do you have a book?
I agree with most of what he said, which basically consists of common sense. He gave new reasons for doing these things. However, I think everyone is different and certain things, like going to bed early, might not be optimal for everyone.
Or possible for many? I know families where mum and dad have two jobs each and it's ok having a framework to help your mental health, but whether you can action follow the guidelines and have the time to invest, is another question entirely.
Apparently rest humbles you too! 😂 😂 wonderful talk!
I'm lucky if I get 5 or 6 hours interrupted sleep each night. I'm doomed!
I'm having problems as a person to be normal in this pandemic. let's just say my brain is melting and it's getting worse by each day and now it's reached the point of being down bad (if yk what being down bad means)
SARAWAKIAN.❤️
How about a gratitude practice!

The Word of Wisdom 101
08:50 I hope the eight principles work better than the filter
A lot of what he is saying is not as much causation as corelation. For example, meeting with loved ones at least four times a month isn't a causation it's about the correlation between the frame of mind of prioritizing what is important and ensuring that you adhere to it.
With the exception of the ‘plant-based’ bit, this is straight GOLD.
