    This video should be viral. As a psych student as well I wonder if all the knowledge in a never ending dose is good for us too. Thank you for reminding us of the basics and that caring for your mental health does need to be fancy or involve a brand new routine every week ❤

    I find that when we get enough sleep our brains think clearer than we do if we don’t sleep enough

    You’ve articulated something I’ve been feeling for a long time. I have 3 young kids so it’s particularly hard to follow any strict guidelines. I especially hate it when creators don’t acknowledge their privilege (e.g. “I like to wake up and immediately get some sun exposure and exercise” - what about people who have to leave for work before the sun even comes up?) It also causes a lot of anxiety if you can’t meet the expectations and there’s no flexibility
    I think your idea of keeping the balance is way more useful and important than any detailed strict protocol

    Thank you kindly for this. I tried to "optimize" everything only to realize that doing the basics (exercise however you can, eat decently, work at relationships) is all one needs.

    I have so so so so many tabs open of different self help videos and art tip tutorials that I've literally had up for months now and I'm realizing I need to just close them out and return back to the basics

    Viewer from Malaysia 🇲🇾 your video reminds me of **less is more**. I slowly forget about it especially when I’m living in a fast pace country - Singapore. Life can be overwhelming when I keep fuelling myself v unnecessary ‘tonic’

    Right now, i feel awful. I feel so much awful that i immediately wanted help and the only thing came to my mind was you. So, please help me. I feel like i suppressed so much emotions. Even when i talk to myself i cry. I feel burnt-out, depressed. Do not want to eat anything (normally i eat something before or after meals, now i eat when i starve). I am not even passionate about the things that i really wanted to do. A month ago i wanted to improve my german, now i have a tutor. But the thing that i don't have is passion. In the inside i feel tired, i feel something heavy in my chest. After semester exams this is my state. Plus, i am not that social, so i worry about this and my future. I can not talk about to anyone. I need your help.

    Really timely video and as always, you’ve articulately described a problem something that I think a lot people are feeling. It makes me wonder whats at the center of it or what it might be a symptom of… curious your thoughts - without getting to psychodynamic or jungian, there seems to be a sense that everything is “intellectualized” perhaps a way of coping with the lack of substance in modern relationships and work. There may be some projection on my part, but it almost feels like we are pathologically interested in becoming mentally healthy. Therapy words are used in contexts that have nothing to do with therapy … and it just feels odd. Anyways hope this comment didn’t come off too tin foil hat vibes. Great video.

      Haha not at all such great food for thought! I agree I wonder if having smaller communities/ family units means we spend a much larger portion of the day thinking about what we do as individuals instead and now gone a little too far...

    Andrew Huberman yaps nonstop, I can’t stand listening to him even if he has some good points 😭 it also came out recently that he cheated on his partner (who was undergoing IVF with him) with multiple women (with no protection) and gave her HPV….so it goes to show none of these “perfect” people have their life together (I also heard he cherry picks his studies but I haven’t looked into this myself)

      There's been a heap of studies (testing cognitive and motor impairment as well as with different samples). Click the references list on this site for a couple examples: www.cdc.gov/niosh/work-hour-training-for-nurses/longhours/mod3/08.html :)

    Hi, i have one question to ask. The thing is that at present I'm doing a degree which has almost all the units similar to that Bachelors of Psychology but it is not accredited. I talked about this to one of my professors and he said that the units i'm doing now will be counted if i happen to enroll in a psychology degree later. Therefore, my question is will my degree be accredited eventually if i do just few of the remaining units in bachelor of psychology that are different in both the courses later after completing my present study or do i need to follow a specific procedure to gain APAC accreditation? As being an international student it is bit difficult to switch the courses now and on top of that i have already completed a year with my present degree. Or if there is any other way please do let me know.
    Thanks in advance!:)
