  I love when he breaks out in the charming Indian accent at times for maximum effect.

  Note to self: Meditation to focus on one thing, be bored more, stop ruminating thoughts by noticing, resolving.

  I spent a good portion of my twenties in a depressive fog.  Then I started exercising, became a firefighter and adopted a cat.  Honestly so happy and content with my life now.

  When are we happiest? When we are completely absorbed within one activity.

  For anyone who feels like anxiety is quietly controlling more of their life than they admit, Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz is worth looking at. It may point out patterns you hadn’t noticed before.

  Giving up social media was the best thing I have ever done. I no longer have to look at what people ate, where they went, all their powerfull and motivational quotes which only point to a mental crisis, all that nonsense out of sight out of mind. What a relief

  We don't need 5000 hours of self help content to make a difference. We just need to really grasp the essence of a few excellent lectures like this one. Thank you

  I have ADHD and the &quot;not enjoying games you think you should enjoy&quot; is a daily experience. I came to realize that my mind not being able to be in the moment is what robs me of the enjoyment of the game. &nbsp;<br>The &quot;opportunity cost evaluation&quot; my mind does is always active, part of my mind focuses on what I could be doing instead of being on what I am doing, this takes away my ability to enjoy what I am doing.

  The surest way to achieve long lasting happiness is to stop obsessing about yourself and get out of your head. Pursue a cause greater than yourself and commit to it. The more you try to make yourself happy the more it will elude you. <br><br>“Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulders...” <br>― Thoreau David

  &quot;The fullment of the goal is not what brings you happiness. The fullfillment of the goal makes the lingering thoughts go away and allows you to be one-pointed for a moment in time&quot; 💥<br>MY BRAIN JUST EXPLODED

  Is this why doom scrolling is so bad? You can never have a one-pointed mind when you’re constantly moving to the next topic after 60 seconds or less
