7 simple rules for a happier life. 

I’d love to know your full bounce back checklist - I need something like that!

You should add an eight rule - watching your videos! I can only hope that the content that I produce can also go some way to making others feel more positive about their lives. Thanks so much xx

Happiness it’s definitely not a constant feeling.. however, remaining positive and doing what you love will continuously prompt happiness. From a self love content creator to another- I enjoyed this video. Thank you 💕

She is one of the reasons why my life is now on track and organized. Thank you so muuuch! ✨

Having an emergency fund let’s me act more courageously in life!!! I’m moving from LA to SD because I know I’ll be ok even if something goes wrong :) before I’d stay where I was out of fear, but having a fall back plan really let’s me step out of my comfort zone!

I needed this in my lifeeeee thankyoy for always being a light in the dark Michelle 💕

Another awesome video. I clicked on it expecting something very different as I have a few rules I follow to live a happier life. Yours were some great examples of practical rules. Here are some of my rules which are a little more spiritual and may come easy or naturally to other people, but I have learnt them through recovery from alcoholism and addiction: 1) Attitude of gratitude - Remind myself I have alot to be grateful for, this leaves me feeling secure and fulfilled and not empty and and wanting. 2) Live in the present - The past is history, the future is a mystery, but the present is a gift and I can use it wisely 3) Don't judge other - Judging others takes energy away from focusing on how I can improve myself. 4) Don't blame others - I must face consiquences for my actions (or inaction). If I don't have have an emergency fund and they decide to recall my car, its my fault I never saved an emergency fund, not the car manufacturer 5) Be openminded - I don't need to be rigid and stuck in my ways, it will make me bitter if things dont happen how I would like. I can be open to new ideas and ways to live. 6) Courage to change - Life doesn't need to be boring, I can get the six pack, if I have the courage to do some situps. I can have 20 000 dollars if I save on takeout each week, I have the courage to change myself and my reality. 7) Listen to my needs - you touched on this. HALT is the acronym, am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired? and a bonus one: 8) Do the next right thing - Take the next step. Life is about taking action, it is not a spectator sport. I remind myself to take the next step, put out my running shoes, wash the dishes, phone to enquire about that sky diving experience, find out about availible appointments to fix my aching tooth. Have a blessed day and thanks for the video!!!

Your Channel is just perfect for me to watch now..I am Disability retired after my having very stressful jobs in Call Center jobs I had for so long? Though my last 2 jobs were Translating,which was Super un-stressfull.. But all in all, I got burn out from that Customer service job! I truly appreciate your Channel in every way❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤from feeling very un-organized, cos I'm pretty unhappy not having my own place!

i can’t tell you how grateful i am for your channel, you inspire to try to change instead of beating myself up, hope you’re having a nice day lov u 🥺💗

You Content is so amazingly helpful ☀️❤️👌🏼 appreciate it so much!

These are so true. I have been facing my fears these past few years. Also starting to make myself do things to feel better

I love your videos so much!! I watch every single one🌈 you motivate me when im super stressed out! Thanks you 🌟

Thank you for this video! This is your best advice video ever!

Always inspired and influenced by your videos! You have brightened my day... AGAIN!!!

These were some really great tips, that we don't usually hear! :) Thanks so much.

Absolutely LOVE Dr Greger !

I can totally relate to the anxiety holding me back! I love the idea of the discomfort list. I will try that Thanks 💛

Love these tips! Will definitely incorporate them in my life 💛

Such a helpful video! I love how your tips are always readily usable, unlike many other RU-vidrs.

"do something to feel better" love thiiisss 💖💖

I appreciate you so very much! I wrote about you in my gratitude journal: I am grateful for muchelleb’s research-based YT channel. I can always count on your content to provide inspiration. Thank you. 💗🧘🏽‍♀️

So ready to watch once I’m at home 💕

I love your advice. Don't wait to do something in order to feel better. Do something to feel better. I feel super motivated already!

You are so incredibly helpful. Thank you

Love this. Your videos make me so chill

Thank you for your video, you're one of my favorite youtuber ever ❤

Loving the bun! Your hair is so cute!

Thank you so much, lovely video! x

I completely agree that having things to look forward to is crucial for inner happiness and productivity. It's been a lot more challenging with the current situation but I try my best to plan at least one interesting activity per week and something special once every few months to keep my life interesting! Always inspired by you

this vid is great practical advice. Instead of just dwelling on problems it is taking small steps that are part of the equation of happiness, and sometimes just taking action automatically makes you feel more positive too so i think this is a good approach.

Needed this video.

Amazing and such an inspirational video thanks for sharing!!!

I'm going to binge right now your recent videos. They help a lot ,, it has only been 5 days of 2021 but I already felt happier even though I DO need a proper morning and night routine I'm getting lazy

first!! love your content and all these tips 🥰

❤doing what we love every day! Looking forward to our routine and the things we do 🌸

Awesome content as always ✌🏽 Loved that you mentioned the sugar rush. Processed sugar also affects us neurologically and can damage dopamine receptors/response !! Something to keep in mind!!! I have been having much vegan chocolate lately lol, so I can def relate :-) Look forward to your new videos muchelle! Much love from TX

I love always having something to look forward, it’s the only way I can do life ❤️

This is awesome! I work with women with hormonal issues and establishing a routine is so crucial for them!

Who else struggles a lot in their sleep routine? I completely agree with Muchelle on waking up early, getting up immediately and going straight to the kitchen is really helpful. Wondering though how you can do that when you're stuck in an anxiety and strong palpitations? I really have bad anxieties expecially in the morning.

Very helpful. Needed this today

Your videos really help me a lot .....thankyou❤❤❤

so inspiring and helpful!

I study nutrition and everything you said about it is on point! thank you for sharing these concepts with such a sense of accuracy and respect for scientific facts.

Hey I am a long time follower of your channel. I am a college student with adhd and major anxiety. Being with major anxiety causes me to fret and worry about little things that If they cause me anxiety I will find a way to avoid doing that task. while living alone it is a major problem when I have to do it. for example if I have to call on the phone but cant do it another way, I will end up not bothering unless it is a life or death situation or I get someone else to do it. While keeping that in mind sometimes I struggle if I am the one that the other person needs. Not sure for others, but even the tasks that average people do daily is a difficult chore.

I love the way you put it clearly that this is a video on how to have a happier life, not a happy life. I really enjoyed your recommendation of getting up in the morning without thinking about it and just going to the kitchen. Getting up earlier is one of the harder things for me to do. Going to bed earlier is easier for me. You mentioned courage and doing things that you are uncomfortable doing: to just do it. Any recommendations how to get started or build up that courage to do it? 😊

Thanks!

Love this! 🤎

I needed this right about now

Really eloquent content 👍

It frustrates me so much that sleep is always a topic and I can not get sleep with a toddler. Ich have to get up about 2-6 times a Night and get up at 4 am and sometimes I am allowed to sleep till 6 am. 😭

Love this..

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have a serious problem with constantly being hard on myself that I'm not accomplishing my goals faster. I also didn't know that about the fruit! Can you please tell me where you get your clothes??? Everything you're wearing is super cute and looks very comfy. I remember once you said you put some of your favorite shops on your site (I think) but I don't see the list anywhere.

Love this! I think we could all stand to be a little happier. I agree we have to take action instead of waiting until we “feel like it” ♥️🎃👻

I noted your points ...... Now it's time to follow it 🙂🙂 Edit:you are awesome and fantastic

You are so much in to the video and the things you are being told makes you feel all inspired and motivated and bammmmmm.... 💥 5:42 you get a big 30 second ad. 😂

Umm can we be best friends already!? 😩 Ugh I so needed this today. Thank you!!

Quality content, keep it up !

Having something to look forward to is HUGE for me - for not just happiness, but also motivation. I think that’s part of what sucked the wind out of everybody’s sails when this all started. It’s still a tough one for me but hopefully we’ll be back to being able to plan stuff soon. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Love these tips! Have you read crappy to happy? It's life changing 😘

Will you do some kind of "prep" for 2021? I know you did something similar before, but I think you could be useful.

Muchelle can you please make a video on your bounce back checklist. Need one badly

Having something to look forward to is so important, which is one of the many reason why this year has been so particularly hard.

ty

The best thing I found to help me get out of bed was having a special drink to have in the morning, like a coffee with a certain syrup. It was a daily treat and was always excited for it

It's really hard to have something to look forward to these days... The outside got dark and cold here in eastern Europe, movie theatres are closed, restaurants are closed... I try to watch more art house movies and read, it keeps me sane.

Glennon Doyle makes a similar analogy in her book Untamed about stressors. I highly suggest reading it (:

I love videos like this, they inspire me to keep my shit together 😂💕

I've been working on the sleep thing for the last month and I feel like my sleep schedule is worse than ever lol

Easy way to up your happiness... watch a Muchelle B video ❤️

I have to wake up in time to be at my computer by 7:25 for online school, so I keep my alarm across the room (I had gotten pretty good at turning it off in my sleep when it was right next to me) and it has gotten to the point where I almost robotically jump out of bed to turn it off (fully awake, thankfully). Before I even know it I'm already standing across the room from my bed and at that point I might as well just go get ready for the day.

What is your advise for who does shifts ( nurse life) ?

Wow

💖💖

Going walking by myself gives me anxiety. I’m always afraid of weird/dangerous people approaching me. I started going out anyway bc I need to move and a white van approached me and freaked me out. Turns out I was just a women looking for her dog. Thank goodness for that. Lol. Needless to say I still go but I am very cautious and aware of my surroundings.

This is full of sooo many great points - totally made notes hahaha Question! When can we expect to see the annual life map to come back into stock ? I've had the digital one this year but wanting to invest in the physical copy for next year lol

Girl, the deliveries in Melbourne are so delayed right now that I just gotta trust they are going to arrive one day... :-/

What kind of pc you have? And where to get it? I would love to get one.

2:58 Me watching this while eating my second piece of cake 👁👄👁

Go to sleep a worrier and wake up a warrior ♥️

I fell asleep at 8:30 last night and woke up at 5:30am.. Lol😳🙌🙌🙌 Slept 9 hours? And I truly feel more rested & refreshed, but I don't have my own place..I rent a room inside a house and it is not really that enjoyable, tho?🥴🥴🥴

Eating pancakes without fruit while watching this and feeling guilty, lol 😅

@muchelleb could you link the therapist you follow on Instagram? thank you for the great video =)

I've always had issues with "wake up at the same time" as if this is something a person could control. Or "go to bed at the same time" as if that implied falling asleep at the same time. It's an ongoing struggle if you have any kind of sleep issues or just can't wake up to an alarm.

Any ideas on things to look forward to during lockdown? It's so necessary to have these little things, days just blend together!

Since the pandemic started I go to work and well there is nobody. All the reservations are cancelled. I work during the night. So during 8 hours it's so weird. I love my job. But since it started I not sure if I am depressesd or bored. What can I do to be more happy? I do not go out much, because we are in a red zone. I pretty much stay at home and go to work. Once a month I go to Costco.

For the past 2 months I have been worrying about my project.The project is not moving forward.I cannot get anything done.All I look forward to is watching netflix.

Am I the only person wishing she would get into LOA just to see a practical persons POV?

I go to sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time...hint. It's 2am now :/

Yeah.... I'm not waking up at 4.30 am in the weekends.. just.... no.

I adore you but I really wish "we" (productivity/wellness RU-vid) could stop talking about sleep the way we do. So many "how to wake up at 6am every day" and "get into a steady sleeping pattern" videos that are cute for RU-vidrs, self-employed people and college students... but completely unrealistic for the vast majority of the workforce. Many of us work shifts, even night shifts, we don't have the luxury to see sleeping and wakeup times as upgrades in our lives, and I don't think that lessens our chances at being productive or happy at all, actually.

I have 8 euros in my emergency fund 😂

Throughout school I tried to organise, write and take notes in my mind rather than on pads of paper, but if we don’t tell any of our relatives, teachers or other “powerful” authorities or prove to them that we are capable of working at a more advanced level than other students, then if we do not do the oversimplified tasks we are ordered to do then we are sabotaged almost completely, made out to be criminal, insane or retarded because we the people are to believe and act like we are owned by the state and those that control the state. School is indoctrination in order to make us useful slaves with a future of abusively long work hours, no permissions to be activists unless we will be ineffective at it, and no hope for emancipation or true enlightenment. We are sabotaged because authorities are brainwashed to protect the system which must be sure that the student is useful on some level to the rich and powerful but useless to their families and those in the community who would liberate humankind. It is called “the republic” and Plato thought of it 2000 years ago, a corrupt political system to deny people self-determination as they are “too stupid and unwise” to decide their own fate. A very good solution to the above is the following (obviously not lead by me or other men) Women should study ethics, organisation, virtue, sociology and every utopian idea there is, they should refuse to be employed (or they will not have time or energy) and they can create very social Women’s groups that very virtuously yet powerfully work to rule the World in myriad of enlightened nurturing ways. Women have thrown off many of the chains of their slavers the patriarchy, they must now learn to rule and rule the World far better than our bloated, greedy, inappropriately lustful, warlike, corrupt men have for thousands of years. Not to rule like tyrants, but to educate the World about the ideal utopian Mothering of Nations.

Thanks my dear you can read Quran and will see that life is nothing without Allah may God bless you and your family and all your followers
