Course on Wellbeing
Hey there,
Today I started this course on wellbeing, it is by Yale! It is freely accessible and all online. It teaches you all about happiness from a psychology standpoint, and lets you apply it to your own life and surroundings! It is also for non-students, but I think it is a great course for a student:

Thank you for sharing this course with us, tell me how far have you gone in it and how did it help you to build more productive habits?
@Mobariz Hi there :)! I'm already heading towards week 4! I really enjoy learning about how the brain is wired and putting that knowledge to use consistently! I feel like it's making me more resilient. To try and find silver linings where I can and be more mindful of my habits. Thank you so much for asking :)!
@OpenWindow
That's really amazing, I really should give the course a try, you made me interested in it :')

I actually completed this course a few weeks ago! I loved it and took a lot of notes on the stats and stuff. It taught me a lot about practicing gratitude, which I'm really grateful for hehe.
@TheAtticusFinch Whaaat that's so cool! Yeah I'm halfway through and I'm noticing positive changes and the weird thing is- people have been commenting on how I am more positive?
@OpenWindow
Literally so rad <3 hehe
I was a big fan of this course--I thought the professor was especially well spoken and smart.
One little piece of it that I found unique was the focus on "savoring." This idea could be used in the moment or afterwards, when a person immerses themselves in the sensation an experience is inspiring. I find it a lot less gimicky than just "gratitude" can be. It's sometimes a little too easy for me to quickly list off three things I'm "grateful" for, but it's much more maeningful and personal to think "Wow the raindrops on the surface of the river make it look like wet concrete. Like nothing I've ever seen" and then maybe think back to that odd feeling later, savoring the experience while it happens and afterwards.
Anyway, lots of good things in the course but I hadn't come across that particular one before.
