“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” - Andy Bernard .........I think of this quote often and it reminds me that the present moments are where true happiness and joy lies. Thanks for this Ali

Thank you. I needed this. I’ve really been practicing happiness as a choice because I was constantly consumed with expectations and disappointed with the reality. I’m not perfect and get overwhelmed but I will take some tips here and I’m working to have a baseline of contentment and happiness that is unwavering of circumstances around me while I still try to achieve and strive and do better

Expectations will be the death of us. My favourite poem 'He Never Expected Much' by Thomas Hardy follows the formula of happiness = reality - expectations. The lower your expectations, the more you enjoy life. Choosing incremental happiness (contentment while striving to be better) is the way to go. Thanks for sharing Mr Mo's wise words, Ali!

Having a goal and taking action to achieve that goal will not make you unhappy. It's the attachment to the outcome from that effort that makes a person unhappy or anxious. It's ok to be ambitious just don't be so hung up on the result. Try your best and hope for the best. When you have no (not low) expectation on the outcome from your effort, you will not be let down.

You really met the point when you described happiness as reality - expectations. Every time I look at famous youtuber and I start comparing myself to them I get dragged down into a spiral of negative thoughts and sense of unfulfillment. No matter how much you work, no matter what you achieve, there is always something that does better than you and it's your responsibility to decide if you want that to be your focus, or rather if you want to make gratitude for what you are and what you have the center of your attention.

This was really powerful, thank-you for sharing! I appreciated the "look down instead of look up", with the story you shared. ❤ I lost my friend (neighbor) a little while back, but I remember having that thought shortly after he passed- thankful for what we did have instead of focusing on the loss. I was so thankful to have been there, so he wasn't alone. The ringer was off on our phone, but for some reason we still woke up and were able to head over to comfort him and help him and be with him one last time (he passed later in the hospital). When I think back on that moment, as much as it hurts he is gone, I am beyond thankful that we had those final moments and all the memories of his visits.

Random sharing here that may benefit others, I think a lot of us link happiness with achieving goals. I started seeing a psychiatrist to understand myself better and realised that I have been linking my happiness with external goals & factors such as earning more money, getting a promotion. When I’m down, I go to eat good food, meet friends for drinks and travel, Spending time with my partner exploring restaurants and places but I realized I don’t have a specific activity that makes me happy internally. It will be an ongoing activity to find an internal happy factor for most people. Hope anyone that read this have a think about what makes you happy internally and work towards finding that 💪🏼

I get asked how I keep up my journaling practise and it definitely came from lowering my expectations Especially when youre depressed it’s about making incremental adjustments that eventually lead to steps towards feeling better. Now I consistently post journal with me videos on yet and thats kept me the most committed and helped with brain fog/dysregulation. For example, when I was the most depressed I had no appetite and no desire to cook. I’d let myself starve sometimes - and that was partly because I felt like if I cooked then it needed to be a perfect, healthy, pretty little meal. Eventually, I realized I needed to lower my expectations and in a moment I had energy I began experimenting to find my depression meal. Because I realized any food is better than no food - so who cares if its healthy, pretty, whatever. For a while all I ate was poutine, then oatmeal, then toast and peanut butter. Finally discovered a half a microwave baked potato and 2 sunny side up eggs. You may think, “fired eggs” you’re not depressed but for some reason frying eggs was okay but making my oatmeal with milk was too much work… idk. The point is this meal is relatively healthy, I feel good and eating doesn’t stress me out anymore. And I’ve gotten blood work done so I know I’m ok like this - because it wasn’t forever. When I was ready I started taking more steps and managing my mental health and getting happier.

Same! I used all my meals as “depression “ meals. When I was depressed I would say “I only have to get to the next meal”. I lost 60 lbs also.

Working on each present day has been something I've been working on and to remove external factors. I think at this time where a lot are struggling financially, that comfort zone to enjoy life seems lost even if they try to enjoy. People who are moderately/rich are even struggling in current times to make sure they don't make the wrong moves. This was a fantastic video to just keep emphasizing to enjoy the process to whatever our goals may head or intersect towards. And hopefully in the end that balance constructs so we are not worrying too much on a specific outcome and will naturally manifest.

Happines comes from solving your problems, not avoiding them. This one sentence helped me to effectively do things that matter which when are done are causing satisfaction. I think internet is the main problem for our happines. You always compare yourself with someone else who has something that you don't, and you feel miserable because of that. We really need to lower our expectations and enjoy the process and ordinary things that happen trough our days.

I consider happiness no different than anger, sadness, frustration, excitement. It's just an emotion that requires a trigger. As humans we familiarise with something and it doesn't bring us happiness anymore or at least not as much as it initially did. Hence why I believe a content mindset is far more important. Being able to accept where you are who you are brings about an inner peace that makes you happy. Ofc don't settle and thrive to be better than yesterday. But it's your life journey, nobody will take the wheel of your own journey for you! So whether you drive at top speed or you happened to be slower than others. The most important is that you are moving :) Wish you all a beautiful day!
