My dokter recommend the six minute diary. Think it's originally german (I'm Dutch but they have a Dutch one here, not sure of there's an English one). Three minutes in the morning, three minutes at night to fill in a couple questions about the moments of the day and gratitude. Some week questions about life here and there but I've really come to enjoy it. Also has a good built up of information about the scientific research before starting the actual six minutes a day.

Finding out there are truly wonderful people out there in the world and that there are all kinds. I'm talking about Hololive. Just about everybody you see there are wonderful people; even the CEO. And that's saying something.

Was that a "little" thing? No, but it is something that keeps me going.

I wish I was an easy person to please or more like a person people can be comfortable around and have a good time. Hololive has been teaching me these things, so I'm learning to be a better person. I also have a very selfish side that I have to co-exist with to live a fulfilling life, so that's where I'm struggling. The conflict between the 2 and finding the middle ground, then building the foundation.

After that wall of text, I've figured some small things that keep me going... My cup of milk tea in the morning, a long shower... Funny and cute content (anime girls and cats).

From what you and other people are saying, I think the simpler the "what keeps you going" the happier you are likely to be as a person.

While I have a long list of things. If it takes so much to keep me going, can I truly be happy? Needing too many things to keep going is high maintenance. High maintenance makes me fall apart.

The only good thing to take away from my comment is that there are truly many things in this world that can make one happy or keep them going. I've got to work hard... Gotta keep going.

I guess there really is truth in "the little things matter." Because I definitely feel the same thing. In my case, it would be just seeing nature around me flow and live like some kind of 4k HD film, except it's all real, complex, and working on their own. And I think that just takes me out of my world for just a moment

That's an interesting idea! While it may not be possible to power a house directly with dreams, there are technologies that harness the energy generated by human movement or activity, such as piezoelectric floors or kinetic energy harvesting devices. These technologies convert mechanical energy from human movement into electrical energy that can be used to power devices or appliances. So, while it may not be feasible to power an entire house solely with dreams, there are certainly ways to incorporate human energy into the mix. Additionally, your idea may inspire others to think creatively about sustainable energy solutions.
