This is a very important conversation. I am 60. Married twice. Spent my whole life chasing that hit of dopamine. Happiness is elusive.

I tend to hug almost everyone (women) I know, even acquaintances. I noticed a lot of people don't hug anymore though. We genuinely need that non-romantic physical affection.

Brilliant conversation! I grew up with no hugging and little conversation from parents. I believe it was undoubtedly a multi generational neglect. I feel awkward doing so now but feel it is important to practice.

This really resonated with me. When I dropped 30 pounds (went from 210 to 180) and got into shape, it was when my daughter was born. I had intrinsic motivation to be healthy so I could be there for her and be a healthy Dad. I had the right motivation and that worked when many other things didn't.

Watching while having a snuggle with my 🐶’s. Best anti anxiety, regulator and natural mood elevator ever. 🐾☺️

True happiness is in your purpose - to steward your gifts and talents to the best of your ability to serve and love others. It's really cool to learn of the science in the purpose.

🔥🙏♥️ count you blessings, not your problems. My lastest mind hack I achieved to my last biggest frustration is now saying thank you to every green light i get when I am driving. What a change this has done for my well-being, I laugh at bad drivers now instead of swearing at them anymore.

I shared this with Jason at Cog Hill Farm on YouTube, so they understand the profoundly positive effect that channel is having on our community. They generate oxytocin in every moment, it seemingly radiates through the screen and speakers.

Excellent. Just as AA’s co-founders understood, when one’s suffering can have meaning & then it gets shared, others can recover. It is in giving, (love & service) with gratitude & leading a principled life, that one receives. ODAAT. 🙏Happiness is a by-product of good living.
