15 Easy Ways to Enjoy Life More ✨ 

"You only have control over three things in your life - the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions your take. Let go of what you cannot control and you will find joy.” ❤

I occasionally do a check-in with things I’m looking forward to and look at big, medium, and small things I’m looking forward to. This week: Small things: having friends over for a movie, making a good meal prep, finishing a book, a new show coming to netflix Medium things: a cheque coming in the mail, seeing my niece for supper, finishing a work project, trying to see the comet Big things: my brother visiting in May, my BFF visiting in April It reminds me that even though I have a 8-5 job that’s relatively mundane, I have found lots of joy in it!

Any chance you would consider slowing this presentation down a little? I think your insights are so good but there isn’t any time to sink in. It would be so helpful! I love your channel, Michelle. You consistently have fresh and exciting ideas ☀️

Babe wake up the newest muchelleb just dropped

I really loved the off-brand idea! I started it last year as you told us in one of your last videos and I noticed that my mindset started to change. I have been always restricting myself you can‘t wear/do/say this because thats not who you are but after I started to try more I become more confident and curious and find so much joy. For example I was always ashamed to like Taylor Swift because my Friends in school hated her and yeah you dont Wanna break the norm😅 but now I find my way back and really enjoying it and feeling like my Youth 2.0 has started 😂❤ So also on my List this year: watching standupcomedy live, reading a classic, try Rafting, Sing Karaoke, wear sunglasses, and explore more, be more curious what comes my way 😊

I have been doing anticipatory joy without even realizing it! I always like to have a little trip booked, to have something to look forward to. Thanks for teaching us this!

muchelle, you find the most interesting research. thanks for doing all the work and packaging it so thoughtfully for us you really are a gem

I had a really long conversation with my dad recently about the struggle of wanting to be in the moment but also capturing memories, and taking pictures came up as well. I decided that in 2023 I was going to keep a commonplace journal where I would basically turn it into a scrapbook and standard journal so that I could have the memories, but in the form of receipts, stickers, and things like that, but also be able to reflect and write about what those memories meant to me!

The style of gratitude reminds me of a book I just read Hunt Gather Parent...kids love to help and have real contribution starting at a young age and are so much happier when we let them!

commit to the bit - my fave tip! this will definitely help me with my indecisiveness, sometimes it can be crippling and hard to overcome. thank you for this great video, Muchelle! 🌻

Love the off brand stuff - it puts a name to a thing I do a lot. I love trying new things and taking on new challenges and keeping agile and fresh

Loveeeed this video!!!! Its one of the most useful ones for the new year i have seen lately! Thanks a lot!!!

Amazing as always! Love how thoroughly you research and how well you communicate it!!

Ruminating is my worst habit, going to think about the tips in this video and hopefully work my way out of that mindset!

Brilliant stuff, as always! 😃❤️

This is the kind of video you want to save to your Watch Again list, because it's so packed with good stuff :) I was also wondering about the question of taking pictures in the moment for the memories, so thank you for clarifying that!

Thank you so much Michelle, you always upload the good words that I need in my life. I just want to tell you how meaningful your work and videos are and how they have helped me with my life. Thank you so much !

This channel is so high quality. ❤

I love the idea to document my life through photos. I didn't know about the resaerch, but I have a "year in pictures" page on notion, which I only share with the people I experience the most! I've done this for three years now on almost everyday. It definitely changed my life alot and I'm much more aware of what I want to do with my time.. Great video! Lots of inspiration for a happier life!❤️

Love love love this Michelle! My favs were to try off brand projects and to document for you not others. Btw, you look great in blue 💙

Thank you! I needed this😊❤

This was tremendously helpful. I'm definitely going to re-watch it a couple times and try these out. I love how they were different than the usual things that I hear about and were more concrete with examples. Also! I love how you put them in chapters too.

I find this your most helpful video yet! Thank you! Loved the very practicable tips and the suggestion slides to screenshot.

brilliant video, thank you so much for sharing 💜

I love this video michelle!!

Loving the waves girl 💖

So helpful!!!

Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful and I will be trying some of these. I've been doing weekly resets & setting fewer goals. I've always taken pictures just for myself. I'm also a journaler and I get through my issues on the page or at least release some of the pain or feelings associated with it. I'm definitely too far in my own mind. It hurts in here. I have so much to work through internally and need to try to empty my mind.

Dear Muchelle, you have made a great impact on my life. I am following you for the last 6 months and love your content. My son was as your sister diagnosed with Adhd and your reorganosation ideas helped a lot. Keep doing a great work. Greetings from Gernany to sunny Australia, Dana

Really enjoying your videos! I am finding them super informative and encouraging. Thank you!

Love this but wanted to give feedback: there is sooo much useful content packed in, I think you could’ve made this into a series. It feels overwhelming watching the whole video because I can’t remember everything. Also breaking it into 1,2,3 rather than just headings, as it’s unclear whether it’s a subpoint or a new point (if that makes sense). Also it’s soooo fast! I don’t mind fast pacing but I could barely register one idea before it had moved to the next. Maybe a short recap at the end would improve this. Thanks 😊

I've watched this twice now. Jotted the main points, and made some additional "for me" notes (may resonate with others): Love the off-brand idea! But was alternatively very inspired to be more unapologetically on-brand, which is off-brand for me (for those who know, you know). As someone somewhere on the spectrum I struggle with over-editing myself, masking, and if not that, isolating. Ultimately for me being more on-brand, openly, and freely will be the off-brand thing to do. 🤣 Will still be doing some of your recs More magical feel good movies: • My Neighbour Totoro • The Tale of Princess Kaguya • The Iron Giant • A Little Princess • Mrs Harris Goes to Paris Books: One of my goals is to read more. I would love some book recs if anyone has some! 🙂 Anticipatory activity: • Weekly date night (with a partner, friend or even with the self) Set a theme for each week, designing the date around that theme. For added excitement (If planning with another) get each person to pick an activity based on the theme, and surprise one another on the date. Also, can choose themes together, and flip a coin to see who plans each themed date. Recreate a photo: I am inspired to find some old family photos, and try to recreate them! Also, this could be a fun party idea. Blast from the past: Guests dress like old family photos. Bonus if they bring the photo. Bonus bonus if they have a story they can share about that photo/memory. ✨️ Some good vibrations: Here Now - Pogo (or anything by Pogo if you're into it, Boy & Bear, Doubtfire) open.spotify.com/track/4UavYIDckb8VlNV8V3uDUd?si=Dw7j-M5HSNqYF2Ug50DVgA& It's a beautiful day - cover - Trinix Remix, Rushawn open.spotify.com/track/75qr9noACda4y1EdxpQSiH?si=UNtZb7RVSG2XzwU4mNU9aA& If you have any music recs, I'd love to hear them too 🙂 -- Thank you so very much for this vid! ❤️‍🔥 This is exactly what I have needed, formatted in a way that feels manageable, accessible, and fully achievable. But most of all fun! I typically enjoy your content, but haven't felt this motivated by any content in ages. Your actionable suggestions are going to make for an excellent 2023 Much Love to you, and yours 💓

This video was so much more interesting, insightful and detailed than I was expecting. I think I thought it was going to be a list like go to the beach, cook nice food, etc. Love the mindset shift ideas and research references!

this was so informative I will definitely be applying these concepts this year

so good. thank you

thanks for gratitude

Love this content

Amazing!!

Great life tips! I just subscribed 🥂

It’s really fun to see you evolve in an even happier person in every video you make! You are glowing, it’s very inspirational!

First!! Thank you so much for this masterpiece of video, you're so beautiful!

'No should'ves' .. huh .. What an intriguing concept!

you look pretty in colorful outfits!

A tip with food that I've found to be really helpful is to focus on foods I can add. Eg I often eat just because I'm bored or feel a bit anxious. When I want to eat and I know I'm not hungry, I just eat celery or another vegetable like carrots. They don't taste great, but it satisfies my craving to eat for the sake of eating, and it's even negative calories due to the fiber. Please note I'm still at a healthy weight and can afford to lose 10-20, this is not intended to be a restrictive eating tip but something to manage emotional eating

A therapist once told me “don’t should (💩) on yourself”

lol i just did a happy dance bc i saw this uploaded

The content is so good….I just wish it was delivered slower…with some pausing so the points can sink in

Can I ask what font you use for your headings? :)

I just adore you god your so knowledgeable I wish I could talk as fast as you. Thank you so much for this darling

Have you ever thought about starting a podcast??

I am probably never gonna watch A man named Otto, but I am gonna enjoy the original movie A man named Ove, it is in swedish but please enjoy and give credit to the original movie and try watch a movie in another language than english❤❤

Have you ever read the book "the happiness project"? I feel like it would fit right up your alley ❤

good tips!

Hi Michelle. I love your videos. But somehow I always feel a bit overwhelmed when I've watched one of them. I think it's because you have a lot of information in your videos and it all goed by very fast. My preference would be a slower video with less information or less different topics with more in depth information. I hope this helps in any way!

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Hi there! ♡Thank you for this video! Since you are interested in meditation, you might like the #ConsciousPlanet movement and #Innerengineering

Comment for the algorythm!

this was great. but for us old people how do I slow it down? seriously, my brain doesn't work this fast.

You look like Ellie Goulding

Don't "should" on yourself.

I loved the video but had to play it on 0.75X speed because you talk really fast and it’s hard to absorb what you’re saying.

Hi Michelle, I love your content but struggled a bit with this one - you talk so fast! And the editing just pushed all the talking together. Please could you slow down just a little in future vids? Thanks.

Very nice? I wish I am join your family life? My life is alone and single life bachelor's still age?My life is found a girl enter my life and my life is save

Girl, please slow down your talking. I had to watch this three times to understand you

seeing you enjoy climbing on insta made me want to try it out, so my boyfriend and i are gonna try it out this year!! perfect "off brand projet" (love the idea of this btw)! ✨😇
