1. Happiness = joy of buying something new
2. Flow state happiness= immerse in activities that brings happiness
3. Social happiness
4. Gratitude induced happiness= 3 things you're grateful for
5. Anticipatory happiness= imagine bright future, looking forward to things
6. Contentment happiness= Accepting as it is, live in a moment.
7. Physical happiness= Happiness after workout
8. Eudamonic happiness= Mission on making world a better place, spirituality.

Man I’ve got a addiction to this channel. I’m here in under 20 minutes 🫠

Been struggling with self esteem and confidence. I require a lot of reassurance, so I've been trying to find ways to give it to myself.
My spirituality and life purpose has been a big part of this.
This video kind of helped confirm I'm sort of on the right track. But now i have a way of being more specific.

Confidence is weird.

Two words,
MENTAL SATISFACTION,
Your attitude to something defines its value, happiness is what you make it 😊

I honestly don't know what I want to do with my life, until I find that I want to spend that time helping others find their thing.

I feel happy when I’m surrounded by friends who actually care about me. And today I’m going to Florida for the first time which I’m excited for.

I've felt all these types of happiness, and gotta say I don't think that last one sticks around. It's all about goals, and once those goals are achieved, the happiness goes with it. What's worse is when those goals are never achieved. Take a teacher that wants to put the best students into the world. After several years of passing through minimal students, the happiness and the drive to do a good job is gone. I view happiness like waves on the ocean. Ride the highs, and hope they are high enough to get you through the lows.

Before watching the video, I believed that living in a state of flow was the happiest way to live. If you asked me reason why I get up every day, I would say it’s to take care of my parents as they grow older, and then to experience life by pursuing my goals in both my career and my hobbies. Discover myself and the world. It’s simply about living a complete life and seeing how my journey unfolds until the very end. I’m also quite curious about where I will go when I leave this world.

I really love your videos, they help me solve my problems. Thank you ❤

Get out of your comfort zone, work something you need to overcome, accept yourself as a human being and that you're going to fail and stop trying to be perfect, you are wasting every fiber of your being, you are going to make mistakes and thats the fun part. Be proud of it cause that tells you that you need to work more on. don't make yourself boring or you'll be nothing, a nobody. Once you overcome these things, you'll be happy for sure cause you actually changed something and overcome it for once. Don't compare to others cause comparison is the thief of joy.

I think what makes a person happy depends on the individual and how they feel about things, not everything applies to everyone, and what makes one person happy may not make another person happy.

I recently experienced a challenging split. It has been really difficult since my five-year relationship ended a few months ago. My ex-boyfriend is still very much in my heart, and I can't seem to stop thinking about him. Nothing has worked in my attempts to get him back, and at this point, it seems impossible to be with anybody else. I realize it may seem strange to admit this, but I miss him terribly and think about him constantly.

Somehow I’m not surprised that I’ve had every single type of happiness EXCEPT the one that lasts. I’m still trying to find that “sense of lasting peace and fulfillment”

[tabuno]

A part of my happiness comes from listening to the female voice from these videos. Calming, relaxing, joyous.

[cameronlane]

None of the above. My little girl just died and I'm trying to find some small semblance of joy and I get suggested this video. Talk to me when you have lost everyone that makes your life worth living like I have. I'll wait.
