Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

All the research suggests that happy people are really social.

They tend to talk to random strangers, they tend to be around other people,

and they really make time for the people that they care about in their life.

How can you just be reaching out to people more often?

This is one of these things where we kind of know it,

but we don't often put it into practice, right?

You know, if you found out you were on your deathbed

you know this week and you know you had a week to live,

you might not like go to work.

Like you'd probably like want to focus on those people you care about in your life.

Like whoever they are, you would see your friends, you would hang out with your family that you care about, you put time into your romantic relationship, whatever.

That's what you do. But if you look at how we tend to spend our time, it's, you know, we're caught up in work.

Sometimes we're not even present

with our family members when we're around them you know because we're like you know let me

put the phone down kind of thing but happy people don't do that they're

prioritizing right now and so whatever you can do to shift to being a little more

social and a little more kind of social and they can connected with the people you care about.

Our instinct when things are good and when things are bad is that it's funny to kind of gripe about stuff, right?

You know, like, it's funny to kind of complain.

You probably even have people in your life that whenever you see them you just start like the

complaining fest like happens but that's not what happy people do happy people
