Finding Happiness

I recently watched a live Q&A with Dr. Laurie Santos. Dr. Santos teaches courses on the psychology of happiness and well-being at Yale University. In the video below, she shares a lot of useful and practical information regarding these strange times.

Here is a description and outline of the topics covered (complete with time stamps if you do not have time for the entire video). 

"We’re living in an unprecedented time as COVID-19 impacts lives everywhere. As we navigate and adjust, how can we manage the many emotions we’re feeling?
Dr. Laurie Santos hosted a Facebook Live Q&A to help us all find ways to cope and process. The video covers the following topics:
  • Reducing tension in a relationship while sheltering in place (1:11)
  • Consuming news without increasing anxiety (3:24)
  • Supporting healthcare workers and helping them prioritize self-care (5:19)
  • Remaining positive when living alone (8:51)
  • Staying focused and productive at work (10:36)
  • Finding your next career or job if you’ve been laid off (12:47)
  • Helping children who are struggling without their usual routine or friends (15:00)
  • Creating positive experiences while in lockdown (18:26)
  • Sleeping better, despite increased anxiety and stress (20:48)
  • Coping if loved ones test positive for COVID-19 (23:57)
  • Spreading kindness or making social connections while isolated (26:32)" 
 
 I hope everyone is staying healthy and entertained!
