You’ve just found the secret to being happy. Go outside and run around - I promise you’ll feel better. Anything you remember with fondness from your childhood, just start doing again :)
i'm a kid and I to miss this feeling, depressing stuff. I just love to try my best to have fun, than fail miserably due to the constant treatment of "grow up". I just love life.
Hello random person, I don’t know you, but I know your unhappy. Remember this may be an ugly chapter in your life, but books always get better. Your so beautiful in many ways, I know you may feel lonely, or that you don’t matter, but I promise theirs someone who loves you unconditionally ❤️ please don’t change yourself, your perfect in everyway
*Thank you!* we're random guys trying to make self-improvement funny and sharing our experience with the world! We just post a new video on our channel about the one habit to stop to be happy. Check it out and let us know that you are coming from this video! We would love to meet you and see you there!
Maybe you just feel powerless,for watching something like this..But sometimes we need a reminder to show us diffrent direction,there are also million things that make us sad..So its okay to search for help
That's the thing, you're living in the future...try to just think wow I'm having so much fun I'll take this moment to be happy and motivated to have more
If i only could run away from my family and my country and start again , maybe then i could feel like a Human. I'll be just grateful for that. Life would be easier..
I feel like I was born in the wrong country...I love my mum but we just have to many arguments and she says that I don't help out enough but I just don't have the energy as I'm always so depressed 😔
To be happy u need to be grateful.....I can relate I’ve been there but when I tried this it worked. Be grateful to small things....like I have a family , I have food , I can see, walk, hear while some ppl can’t ..yeah I hope I helped you at least a little bit.
Same here. I always find myself waking up unhappy but I don't know why, before that sleep I was very happy and comfortable with everything, after waking up, I feel all the negativity
That is just what my Son's book is all about "You Are Now" starting at the depths of despair and finding true happiness and a meaningful life. Truly inspirational.
I practice meditation too, and I can totally relate to what you said. I'm trying different things... maybe we're too calm, we need some excitement and hedonism for contrast... 😄
Meditation does not really help unless you can be happy with your present conditions. Like if you are Paul Pogba, you can be unhappy with your club but after meditating, you realise how happy you can be with your millions.
I started having depression at the age of 9. I start historically crying when i'm all alone and no one's there. I actually like being alone. Because it makes me let all my tears old till I calm down and then be normal. One time I used a tip that in my brain I pictured a settings page and I said "Happiness 100%" and it actually kinda worked! It doesn't work anymore all I just do is put out a big smile and confuse my brain if i'm happy or not.
as a rather introverted person, at the same time being a shy guy with a moderete level of social anxiety, zoning out is comfortable I must say. But rather in the sense that not always I imagine past or future, just observe then I have a conversation with myself. Coming out with a topic and discussing with myself, sometimes I agree to the voices in my head, sometimes I make a reason to decline. Of course it is not rare as well that I zone out like as discribed in the video since, I'm anxious most of the time. I get to the point of being lost from the world, just to enjoy my internal monologue
I've been wasting a lot of time on video games and I realized whenever I try to stop o find myself watching UA-cam videos related to video games. Additionally, I've been really motivated lately with setting and achieving short/intermediate/long term goals.

I can’t be happy anymore I can’t go outside anymore I can’t goofy around anymore I gotta be matured now because I’m older? I hate being older now I want my child self back I want her back i want the girl who used to be happy and everyone loved her but she’s gone she’s not here anymore why? I really don’t want to go through this anymore cuz I want to be happy......again I want to be alive again I want to have freedom again I want to go out without being yelled or being forced staying at home again I miss it all I REALLY DO
My dads friend told me that in order to live a full life is to not take things to seriously and to not react to failure with sadness but with an intent to learn from it and become better, also find what you like to do don’t let your family influence what you like to do and your job, he told me that the best thing he did was study abroad and go on vacations by himself to force himself to meet people and interact more, he said that changed the way he thought and stopped being so shy. He also said that not everyone is your friends and your friends from childhood aren’t your close friends but people you know but you will start to make deeper connections starting from your teenage years, so just put yourself out there and be more relaxed and don’t care too much and don’t be shy.
I don't agree with the answer unfortunately. I think the answer lies in being gratefull and thankfull for everything. Instead of looking at things you don't have, concentrate on things you do have. Also loving, yourself, others and giving is a big part of happiness. The reason for this is that your thoughts determine your feelings and that determines your behavior. So how you think is the most crucial thing for determining happiness within yourself. You can still meditate and still feel depressed several years (know that by a friend of mine). I've learned this by psychology and studies
I wanted to leave the place several times. It's all becaude of my mind. I over analyze things a lot. I feel like it never gets better. I have my hopes and dreams, but it those little things like getting a bad grade that bring me super down. It's weird. I just want to keep a positive mindset. I don't want to be happy i want to be perfect. So I won't feel so left out and so I won't let others down anymore. It feel like I just can't achieve that. It feels like one the days a feel happiest, the darkness comes in and I feed it. I feel likr giving up
the perpetual bliss is a lie. It doesn't exist. Happiness comes and never overstays its welcome, therefore we should deeply appreciate it when it arrives. We should realize that no one can or have "it all" so we can cut down on the one thing that impedes our happiness: Envy.
l o n e l y g r x n d e doesn’t matter even if it really does not exist. considering that happiness is something everyone can achieve, we should still try and live our lives to the fullest, regardless of the mystery that clouds the future :)
Talha Khan Palal but it’s difficult , making it almost impossible for us to find the happy things in life when we’re continuously forced to do things we don’t want. We’re just sick of it. Nice to hear from you though, appreciate it
You’re absolutely right, I started meditating when I was 16 and i can’t even describe it. It was clarity. It was contentment. Mindfulness was easier, natural. I felt ready to thank on the world & explore it. Now that I’m 25 I haven’t meditated due to not having my own room for years and constantly moving… but since I have that safe space now. I’m going to start meditating again, Thankyou for reminding me. I’m just scared of all the thoughts to sift through since the last time…but it’ll be worth it. Thankyou!
The feeling of being nearly blind and then finally putting your contacts in after not having them and you get to look at the trees and sky and clouds and just smile because life is so beautiful. If it wasn't for the experience I would call this video bogus, but I seriously agree. If you can look at anything and fully sit there and comprehend it, it can be a spark of gratefulness and often lead to a happy mindset.
The productivity culture makes us care so much about the result, that we forget to enjoy the process. The Forwago helped me to keep improving myself and achieving my goals while still enjoying the process, and I am so grateful because of that.
I have been feeling like this. I should be so grateful as I am not going through any real hardship - still feel so alone and not myself - like my spark is diminishing. I just need to get over this and hopefully I’ll be happy again.
Don’t worry! I was really sad and suicidal in grade 7 but things weirdly got better! Idk how long it will come for you but trust me, things will get better
That happened to me, i was feeling really low all the time and could't snap out of it, then i began hard exercise and gradually i began to feel better, now i dance as well as much as i can, i feel great !! Put the effort in and you'll get a break through 👍
Thank you very much for this video. Very informative about our tendencies to want, to reject, to zone out. I really love the thought on mindfulness - focusing on what's important. Great video!
A person is happy when he does not despair over the past and does not think about the future, I mean reassurance, and a person is also happy when he helps others, and always the happiest person is the one who helps others the most. Your friend from Syria
I know the potential of meditation as a habit and how awesome it really is. But is seems so hard for a beginner (like myself) to sit even for 10 minutes there, concentrate on my breath and clear my mind. Do you have any tips or meditation techniques to suggest? It would be cool if you also include this in the next video.
221rays as a daily meditator, honestly JUST START WITH 2 MINUTES. set a timer on your phone, find somewhere quiet and for just 2 minutes focus on your breath. your mond will try to zone out and that's OK, keep in mind that you can't fail meditation. whatever effort you make will make a difference in your mind. Cheers!
221rays Try guided meditations first. It really helps specially for beginners, if there's someone guiding you in your meditation (even if it's a pre-recirded tape). There are plenty of excellent apps out there with guided meditation sessions like Insight Timer, Headspace, Calm, Omvana etc... I'd recommend the first 2, they helped me the most. And no, it's NOT meant to be hard. The more you practice, the easier it gets. Best of luck, 221rays!
Tbh when I bought my Xbox one and put it in my room, I don't remember a time I was bored and anytime anything bad happens I just hop on Xbox and things are better
I’ve been failing high school and always wanting so much more than my brother.I get the idea now,thank you. And I’m not meditating 99% of videos like these it’s always gots do with meditating
this is awesome but there is 1 false point made in this video, meditating is... NOT... the only way to become more mindful for example, and anyone who is reading this can try the following... just decide, decide that your going to look at things with wonder, you will then realise that everything has some amazement to it, decide you want to be mindful, make it a goal every morning and the chances are you will achieve it. certainly there are plenty of ways to become more mindful.
"Yeah you might get a glimse of happiness from your achievements, but what you'll learn as you get older, every time you reach one, is you'll just make another goal that doesn't lead to freedom." - NF
I sometimes feel like I'm meditating when I'm lifting weights. I ignore everything around me and the only thing that's on my mind is the task ahead of me. Is this wrong of me to say? Or do I need to meditate properly if I want to reap all the benefits as well
mr1337viking it's because you enjoy it. Enjoyment isn't limited to wanting or being mindful, it's just loving what you are doing. The chemical reactions and dopamine released, the burn, the results. Just enjoy it man, Love is powerful
I just watched this video and just meditated for the first time. All the symptoms you talked about occurred, but along with it a weird magical thing that I want to experience again some time. When I sat there, just as you said my mind wondered off in the first few seconds but I brought it back to breathing. And my mind constantly dwelled off but somewhere I weirdly managed to bring it to the present, an experience I've never had before. It was like I was there, but not there. I was only thinking about breathing, the fluid of air going in and out, and I felt my heart beat. Then the next part felt really weird, it felt as if I was an observer from outside watching myself and feeling myself at the same time. I was in the real world, but at the same time in my own world, and then my mind was suddenly just blank. Only thoughts were on my nose and the air around it. No sense of time whatsoever, I don't know how long I sat there but just suddenly my 5 minute alarm woke me up and I am now in a weird sense of calm, detached from my emotions. I just wanted to share this if it was interesting, even though it might have been a common experience
F*ck yes! Meditiation! I just read about Meditation in "Tools of Titans" (which I read because you recommended it) btw) and I definitely want to learn how to meditate!
Leonholic Check out Headspace on the app store. The first 10 guided sessions are EXCELLENT for beginners and are free. After that, check out the mindfulness app called Insight Timer. It has literally thousands of free guided meditations and a whole community of meditators. Best of luck Leon!
StratosFear1992 sounds like you've been meditating for a while. So what do you think?? Does meditation work?? Is it really the true way to eternal happiness?? What's been you're experience, I'd love to know!
J_Venchy I don't want to oversell meditation as a wonder pill but in my personal case, it really has transformed my life for the better. I started meditating a year ago in my final year of uni and it gave me the self awareness to know what my aim really was and the extra focus to study harder than I ever did. I aced my final exams and since then it has helped me improve in so many ways. Meditation only actually develops a greater sense of calm, focus and self-awareness in you. That self awareness however is key, as it helps you detect unhealthy habits and patterns in your behaviour that you weren't even aware existed. It made me realise how I was sabotaging my own success and that it was MY responsibility to make a conscious change. I stopped complaining and living in the past or blaming my situation on anyone or anything other than myself. I finally started reading and watching resources about self development and actually started putting them into practice. So meditation was for me a "keystone" habit whose positive effect spilled over into every other aspect of my life. I started a journal (as opposed to a diary) and have discovered so many self destructive thought and behavioral patterns in myself. Have gotten the focus to stick to an exercise regimen. I've learned to recognise feelings of anger and frustration as soon as they arise. This especially has helped me A LOT in dealing with people (be they close or strangers) Am better able to deal with situations when shit hits the fan. Overall more calm and focused. So mindfulness ITSELF may only make you 10% happier but if you keep your practice up, it will snowball into something truly transformative. If you're already a very disciplined and focused person, it may not make as big an impact, but it WILL help you nontheless with very little time investment on your part. So I'd definitely advise you to try it for a week. Since it's free, there really is no pressure to carry on if you find it's not working for you.
Its just that, I see people around me happy in school even when there grades are low But no matter how much my grades are high, I can't get rid of sadness Its just that i feel like a failure to my family I want to die but I can't, i started seeing my friends go out without me (bestfriends) every time when i get sad i just store the sadness and its come out in a form of either anger or depression
I've been stuck on the most horrific chapter of my life for 18 years! I want to make a change. I want to finally feel something. I've been trying to better myself over quarantine and I've certainly gotten things done but it's not enough. I need to keep trying. I need to keep working hard. I don't want to fall back into the pit of an endless cycle of darkness again 🥺
I know nobody's going to read this so I'm just going to put it all out here. I'm tired of pretending like everything's alright and that I'm strong and that I don't cry. I'm broken and I've got no one by my side
I like this channel but downvoted this video and here's why: Meditation isn't a new thing and it has arrived even in our western pop culture since decades. You're trying to answer the complicated question of how to become happy in life by simply throwing in some random advice one of which is meditation - as if it is that simple. But actully it's not. If it would be, we wouldn't have this billion dollar self help industry throwing new books, seminars and pills every year into the market. Life is complicated, contains suffering and each one of us is facing different obstacles. There is no ultimate way to become ultimately happy. Is this video worthless? I don't think so, but the title should rater be "Some ideas on how to become happier in life".
Wanting rejecting and zoning out ?? there is no other situation for 99% of the people ?????? When i'm having fun talking with friends, having pleasure heating or beeing satisfied of having done sport you really think that this is part of wanting rejecting and zoning out ?? [sorry for my bad english, love your video but not enought scientifique proof/sources]
Moved school recently and it was a choice I regret making. When I was asking my mum to move I already felt like I was letting her down as I was going from the place she wanted me at to the place I am now. When buying the new uniform she told me she was proud of me for being at the 'higher' school which made me feel worse. I pretended I was ill today so i didn't have to go in. There's one girl I know from primary school who I tag along with because she's the only person I know. Her friends dont like me and call me a nerd. I feel guilty for letting my mum down and lying and pretending to be ill. Today she told me I have to try and act happier because my nan had depression and it was hurting my dad to see me in a similar way yet I don't feel like I am getting the help I would like to be given even though i am nervous to ask and don't even know who I would ask if I was brave enough. That leads me here. Spilling my problems to some random strangers that will read this because I don't know what else to do. Sorry for those who read the whole way through.
Living the life you love and loving the life you live also makes you happy. Or at least persuading it trough actions, love/empathy and reflections about life/the life you’re Living makes you happy
Man, I miss being younger. No worries and always so happy. I miss the days of goofing around and running and playing outside :(
I like being older, now i control my own life and can enjoy it the most.

Maybe you just feel powerless,for watching something like this..But sometimes we need a reminder to show us diffrent direction,there are also million things that make us sad..So its okay to search for help
Whenever I try to live in the moment and appreciate things it always makes me feel worse because it reminds me that these things won't last forever
exactly
if you're thinking about that then you aren't living in the moment. are u happier now tho? it's been a year.
Me too...
That's the thing, you're living in the future...try to just think wow I'm having so much fun I'll take this moment to be happy and motivated to have more
Exactly
Woah I didn't expect to be so depressed that I had to search how to happy
me too.....

I tried meditation. It made me more furious, more impatient, more frustrated, and it only gave me more time to focus on all these negative feelings.
Yea that's the point focus on your negative feel its don't judge them let them flow I suggest u look up How to free your mind.
U actually don't know how to meditate dear..

And looked up “how to be happy”
And i feel a little better.
I am bakugo
My dads friend told me that in order to live a full life is to not take things to seriously and to not react to failure with sadness but with an intent to learn from it and become better, also find what you like to do don’t let your family influence what you like to do and your job, he told me that the best thing he did was study abroad and go on vacations by himself to force himself to meet people and interact more, he said that changed the way he thought and stopped being so shy. He also said that not everyone is your friends and your friends from childhood aren’t your close friends but people you know but you will start to make deeper connections starting from your teenage years, so just put yourself out there and be more relaxed and don’t care too much and don’t be shy.
i zone out all the time.. talking to friends, driving, in the gym.. constantly thinking of why i do wrong never right.
I’ve never known what true happiness really feels like. 😕
I don't agree with the answer unfortunately. I think the answer lies in being gratefull and thankfull for everything. Instead of looking at things you don't have, concentrate on things you do have. Also loving, yourself, others and giving is a big part of happiness.

I wanted to leave the place several times. It's all becaude of my mind. I over analyze things a lot. I feel like it never gets better. I have my hopes and dreams, but it those little things like getting a bad grade that bring me super down. It's weird. I just want to keep a positive mindset. I don't want to be happy i want to be perfect. So I won't feel so left out and so I won't let others down anymore. It feel like I just can't achieve that. It feels like one the days a feel happiest, the darkness comes in and I feed it. I feel likr giving up
I'm pretty sad right now but what makes me even more sad is that I have to watch a video on how to be happy. This shows I don't have a life anymore
Be grateful for what you have, there’s always someone who has it worse. Hope everyone feels better
I feel like MDMA greatly amplifies my mindfulness. Your information was an apt description of what I feel when I take it.

Now all he has to do is learn to re-create that in normal circumstances.
the perpetual bliss is a lie. It doesn't exist. Happiness comes and never overstays its welcome, therefore we should deeply appreciate it when it arrives. We should realize that no one can or have "it all" so we can cut down on the one thing that impedes our happiness: Envy.
Deal with it. We’re all living for a future that doesn’t exist.
l o n e l y g r x n d e doesn’t matter even if it really does not exist. considering that happiness is something everyone can achieve, we should still try and live our lives to the fullest, regardless of the mystery that clouds the future :)
Talha Khan Palal but it’s difficult , making it almost impossible for us to find the happy things in life when we’re continuously forced to do things we don’t want. We’re just sick of it. Nice to hear from you though, appreciate it
Nature love SAMEEEE
I feel like I'm just sad cuz im setting too high expectations for myself.
You’re absolutely right,
I started meditating when I was 16 and i can’t even describe it. It was clarity. It was contentment. Mindfulness was easier, natural. I felt ready to thank on the world & explore it.
Now that I’m 25 I haven’t meditated due to not having my own room for years and constantly moving… but since I have that safe space now. I’m going to start meditating again, Thankyou for reminding me. I’m just scared of all the thoughts to sift through since the last time…but it’ll be worth it. Thankyou!
The feeling of being nearly blind and then finally putting your contacts in after not having them and you get to look at the trees and sky and clouds and just smile because life is so beautiful. If it wasn't for the experience I would call this video bogus, but I seriously agree. If you can look at anything and fully sit there and comprehend it, it can be a spark of gratefulness and often lead to a happy mindset.
3000 years of philosophy to find how to be happy and there is still no answer to it but a 4 minutes video will change that!!
Improvement Pill not really but love you tho
@@ANTISHMETTT do you even meditate bro?
the answer the religion
@Qiyana in your opinion but respect it
doing a constructive activity or doing something you enjoy i would consider as good as meditation.
Justin Bennett i would disagree , I think meditation is giving a rest to mind while any activity requires mind to work
Agreed
Like ballin with the homies
Doing something you love doing doesn't feel the same when your unhappy in life
predators; they are around me. whenever i want to be happy, they make me sad. and i became sad, again and again. even if i want to be happy. I can't.
Thats so true...

The productivity culture makes us care so much about the result, that we forget to enjoy the process. The Forwago helped me to keep improving myself and achieving my goals while still enjoying the process, and I am so grateful because of that.
I have been feeling like this. I should be so grateful as I am not going through any real hardship - still feel so alone and not myself - like my spark is diminishing. I just need to get over this and hopefully I’ll be happy again.
I need to be happy I am incredibly sad
What's making you unhappy?
Dance for 1 hour solid to a funky house classic 😎
@Matthew Goodwin every human need happiness فهمت يا بزر
I am really depressed and I don't know why:\
We live in a society...
Don’t worry! I was really sad and suicidal in grade 7 but things weirdly got better! Idk how long it will come for you but trust me, things will get better
That happened to me, i was feeling really low all the time and could't snap out of it, then i began hard exercise and gradually i began to feel better, now i dance as well as much as i can, i feel great !!
Put the effort in and you'll get a break through 👍
bassam youssef same, but I know why:(
same
Literally just search "How to become happy"
:')
Happiness is our greatest need..."by serving others, our own highest needs are met..." Serve and keep serving.... give and never stop giving...
This made me burst into tears after watching this😭
Thank you very much for this video. Very informative about our tendencies to want, to reject, to zone out. I really love the thought on mindfulness - focusing on what's important. Great video!
I just wanna see my friends again.
I just wanna live before I can’t.
If I saw them, I’d be happy. I think. I hope.
Guys life has its ups and downs. Its like the ocean, never calm. I am hypochondriac and it really eats my self but better days are coming
I think this is why I keep shopping so much..I focus on happiness, not "getting to the next thing"
A person is happy when he does not despair over the past and does not think about the future, I mean reassurance, and a person is also happy when he helps others, and always the happiest person is the one who helps others the most. Your friend from Syria
Yuh :) you’re right ( change your state of mind you sort of)
I wished this video actually helped me.
"I don't seek happiness, but i look for pleasure"
This is a great illustration on the truth of happiness around us...
Great work guys!
Editing,Anime,Tiktok,Yt Is my only sorce of happiness🥰
Nothing else🥰
I don't know why but when the video started and me reading the positive comment i started to cry..
I know the potential of meditation as a habit and how awesome it really is. But is seems so hard for a beginner (like myself) to sit even for 10 minutes there, concentrate on my breath and clear my mind. Do you have any tips or meditation techniques to suggest? It would be cool if you also include this in the next video.
221rays as a daily meditator, honestly JUST START WITH 2 MINUTES. set a timer on your phone, find somewhere quiet and for just 2 minutes focus on your breath. your mond will try to zone out and that's OK, keep in mind that you can't fail meditation. whatever effort you make will make a difference in your mind. Cheers!
shir35303 I understand. Well this is good to know then.
check out 'Mindfulness in Plain English' by Henepola Gunaratana...perfect for beginners
221rays Try guided meditations first. It really helps specially for beginners, if there's someone guiding you in your meditation (even if it's a pre-recirded tape). There are plenty of excellent apps out there with guided meditation sessions like Insight Timer, Headspace, Calm, Omvana etc... I'd recommend the first 2, they helped me the most.
And no, it's NOT meant to be hard. The more you practice, the easier it gets.
Best of luck, 221rays!
Thank you all for the suggestions! :)
1) I don't want things though....
2) I do rejecting with myself....
3) I can't help dissacotiating...
Tbh when I bought my Xbox one and put it in my room, I don't remember a time I was bored and anytime anything bad happens I just hop on Xbox and things are better
same here
Same. But it's getting old. Now I have to find something else.
Distractions always help...until they don't anymore.😞
My Xbox is my drug. It’s bad
Idk try a book. It’s like traveling without using your legs
I feel better when i see that we all write "how to be happy"...guys we deserve the world
I’ve been failing high school and always wanting so much more than my brother.I get the idea now,thank you.
And I’m not meditating 99% of videos like these it’s always gots do with meditating
Family is the true happiness.
Tepes Obrejac my family says I’m unhappy all the time and that makes me more unhappy
how do you make these videos. I've seen other yters use this as well
CM Punk why would you want to make crappy videos.
Will Will do a favour for everyone, just don’t watch them
this is awesome but there is 1 false point made in this video, meditating is... NOT... the only way to become more mindful for example, and anyone who is reading this can try the following... just decide, decide that your going to look at things with wonder, you will then realise that everything has some amazement to it, decide you want to be mindful, make it a goal every morning and the chances are you will achieve it. certainly there are plenty of ways to become more mindful.
"Yeah you might get a glimse of happiness from your achievements, but what you'll learn as you get older, every time you reach one, is you'll just make another goal that doesn't lead to freedom." - NF
True, when you focus on what you have right now you'll leave no room for complaining and negative thoughts
happiness is in my name
exactly what i need now...mindfulness :D.. thanks for the video
I sometimes feel like I'm meditating when I'm lifting weights. I ignore everything around me and the only thing that's on my mind is the task ahead of me. Is this wrong of me to say? Or do I need to meditate properly if I want to reap all the benefits as well
mr1337viking meditation and any physical act that makes you focused and Zoned in is the way to go.... happy lifting
mr1337viking it's because you enjoy it. Enjoyment isn't limited to wanting or being mindful, it's just loving what you are doing. The chemical reactions and dopamine released, the burn, the results. Just enjoy it man, Love is powerful
to everyone who feels hopeless during this pandemic, sitting with their thoughts everyday, be kind to yourself and hold on. this world needs you.
I just watched this video and just meditated for the first time. All the symptoms you talked about occurred, but along with it a weird magical thing that I want to experience again some time. When I sat there, just as you said my mind wondered off in the first few seconds but I brought it back to breathing. And my mind constantly dwelled off but somewhere I weirdly managed to bring it to the present, an experience I've never had before. It was like I was there, but not there. I was only thinking about breathing, the fluid of air going in and out, and I felt my heart beat. Then the next part felt really weird, it felt as if I was an observer from outside watching myself and feeling myself at the same time. I was in the real world, but at the same time in my own world, and then my mind was suddenly just blank. Only thoughts were on my nose and the air around it. No sense of time whatsoever, I don't know how long I sat there but just suddenly my 5 minute alarm woke me up and I am now in a weird sense of calm, detached from my emotions. I just wanted to share this if it was interesting, even though it might have been a common experience
Easy to say, hard to do. What if you are rejecting the things around you.
So i just need to meditate for 10 minutes every day?
And the way i do it is sitting on the ground and than breath calm and then think of my day is that good?
No you have clean your mind the goal is to think as less as possible.
There are actually a lot of great guided meditation videos here on youtube. Maybe you want to just give it a try. :)
F*ck yes! Meditiation! I just read about Meditation in "Tools of Titans" (which I read because you recommended it) btw) and I definitely want to learn how to meditate!
Leonholic just sit in a comfterbel position. close your eyes. focus on your breathing and try not to think.
Leonholic Check out Headspace on the app store. The first 10 guided sessions are EXCELLENT for beginners and are free. After that, check out the mindfulness app called Insight Timer. It has literally thousands of free guided meditations and a whole community of meditators. Best of luck Leon!
StratosFear1992 Awesome, thanks man!
StratosFear1992 sounds like you've been meditating for a while. So what do you think?? Does meditation work?? Is it really the true way to eternal happiness?? What's been you're experience, I'd love to know!

I don't want to oversell meditation as a wonder pill but in my personal case, it really has transformed my life for the better. I started meditating a year ago in my final year of uni and it gave me the self awareness to know what my aim really was and the extra focus to study harder than I ever did. I aced my final exams and since then it has helped me improve in so many ways.
Meditation only actually develops a greater sense of calm, focus and self-awareness in you. That self awareness however is key, as it helps you detect unhealthy habits and patterns in your behaviour that you weren't even aware existed. It made me realise how I was sabotaging my own success and that it was MY responsibility to make a conscious change.
I stopped complaining and living in the past or blaming my situation on anyone or anything other than myself.
I finally started reading and watching resources about self development and actually started putting them into practice. So meditation was for me a "keystone" habit whose positive effect spilled over into every other aspect of my life.
I started a journal (as opposed to a diary) and have discovered so many self destructive thought and behavioral patterns in myself.
Have gotten the focus to stick to an exercise regimen.
I've learned to recognise feelings of anger and frustration as soon as they arise. This especially has helped me A LOT in dealing with people (be they close or strangers)
Am better able to deal with situations when shit hits the fan.
Overall more calm and focused.
So mindfulness ITSELF may only make you 10% happier but if you keep your practice up, it will snowball into something truly transformative.
If you're already a very disciplined and focused person, it may not make as big an impact, but it WILL help you nontheless with very little time investment on your part.
So I'd definitely advise you to try it for a week. Since it's free, there really is no pressure to carry on if you find it's not working for you.
Its just that, I see people around me happy in school even when there grades are low
But no matter how much my grades are high, I can't get rid of sadness
Its just that i feel like a failure to my family
I want to die but I can't, i started seeing my friends go out without me (bestfriends)
every time when i get sad i just store the sadness and its come out in a form of either anger or depression
That is what a true guru is for... to help you be happy...
Not gonna lie , 2019 is my lonely year
I have no memory of writing this comment whatsoever
Mine is 2019 and 2020 😔
I tried To be happy but I cant my society is killing me.
How to be happy: QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA
I've been stuck on the most horrific chapter of my life for 18 years! I want to make a change. I want to finally feel something. I've been trying to better myself over quarantine and I've certainly gotten things done but it's not enough. I need to keep trying. I need to keep working hard. I don't want to fall back into the pit of an endless cycle of darkness again 🥺
I know nobody's going to read this so I'm just going to put it all out here. I'm tired of pretending like everything's alright and that I'm strong and that I don't cry. I'm broken and I've got no one by my side
i love you sm
I like this channel but downvoted this video and here's why: Meditation isn't a new thing and it has arrived even in our western pop culture since decades. You're trying to answer the complicated question of how to become happy in life by simply throwing in some random advice one of which is meditation - as if it is that simple. But actully it's not. If it would be, we wouldn't have this billion dollar self help industry throwing new books, seminars and pills every year into the market.
Life is complicated, contains suffering and each one of us is facing different obstacles. There is no ultimate way to become ultimately happy. Is this video worthless? I don't think so, but the title should rater be "Some ideas on how to become happier in life".
great point!
True. Something is wrong indeed.
I think the thumbnail is the other way around. people tend to pretend they're happy.
Wanting rejecting and zoning out ?? there is no other situation for 99% of the people ?????? When i'm having fun talking with friends, having pleasure heating or beeing satisfied of having done sport you really think that this is part of wanting rejecting and zoning out ?? [sorry for my bad english, love your video but not enought scientifique proof/sources]
My friend just sent an old photo of myself, I was so happy, I want the old days back so bad
Moved school recently and it was a choice I regret making. When I was asking my mum to move I already felt like I was letting her down as I was going from the place she wanted me at to the place I am now. When buying the new uniform she told me she was proud of me for being at the 'higher' school which made me feel worse. I pretended I was ill today so i didn't have to go in. There's one girl I know from primary school who I tag along with because she's the only person I know. Her friends dont like me and call me a nerd. I feel guilty for letting my mum down and lying and pretending to be ill. Today she told me I have to try and act happier because my nan had depression and it was hurting my dad to see me in a similar way yet I don't feel like I am getting the help I would like to be given even though i am nervous to ask and don't even know who I would ask if I was brave enough. That leads me here. Spilling my problems to some random strangers that will read this because I don't know what else to do. Sorry for those who read the whole way through.
So basically, consumerism, and by extension, capitalism, makes people unhappy? What a surprise.
In who’s recommended was this😅
Yeah Mine neither
How to be happy- get a girlfriend
Not really
I am Jason what if you’re not happy because you can’t get a girlfriend in the first place
So glad someone understands where happiness comes from & that it is not subjective. Mindfulness is the key. 💙
Living the life you love and loving the life you live also makes you happy. Or at least persuading it trough actions, love/empathy and reflections about life/the life you’re Living makes you happy
Exactly
