- Here are 10 things you can do to make your life happier. I didn’t find them out until I was into my 50s. I’m sure they can help you live a happier life too.
The thing to know is this… you can do them earlier than I did.

Who is The Sandscratcher?
My mission is simple: To share stories and life lessons, offer advice & encouragement, plus share my love of music & TV....oh yeah, and anything else I find of interest!
My channel is where I'll share my memories, chat about life in general and share my love of music, old films and more.
You won't find my thoughts on politics, religion and such, as I've always believed them personal.
Here, it's all about sharing those things I've learned through the years, and remembering events that have stayed with me.

I'm Ethan from Canada. Love your videos. You make some great points I need to focus on a few of these.
01 Stop reliving your past mistakes.
02 Stop worrying about things you can’t control.
03 Stop worry about what people thinking about you.
04 Stop doing things you don’t enjoy doing.
05 Don’t be a people pleaser.
06 Don’t feel the need to stay current
07 Stop caring about people who don’t care about you.
08 You don’t have to stay up late.
09 Stop answering the phone right away.
10 Stop fearing the future
Thanks Ethan. I'm glad the video struck a chird with you!
Guilty as charged. Especially the phone and not saying no. I am in process. Thanks for the nudge.
Like I said in the video - I was guilty of all of them until at least mymid 50s. Thanks for commenting Janet.
The only one I still struggle with is going to bed earlier. I've always been a night owl. 😊
I used to be a night owl, but over the last few years, I've found I'm looking forward to bedtime hahaha.
Another great video. Have a fantastic week! 🙂🥰😘❤
Thank you, Tia. I'm glad it made an impression on you.
Love you content! Keep up the positive messaging and action items!
Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts. There will be an add on video to that one going out on Friday.
Thanks for watching.
@@JamesMurphyYT Wonderful. Looking forward to it! You have awesome content and deserve more subs! You have mine!
@BirdsPawsandClaws I really appreciate your support. Thank you.
Great points 👍
Thanks Jonathan
These are some valuable lessons I wish I had employed much younger. Another great video, James!
I wish I'd known them when I was younger! Thanks Kevin
Good advice 😊
Thank you Angela.
Good video, sir. Very inspiring video.
Thank you. There will be a follow up video to this on Friday. I'm pleased it struck a chord with you.

Hi Scott...me too! Thanks for watching
@@JamesMurphyYT Great video James. Am happy to say that I don’t do many of those things. Although my biggest challenges at the moment is dealing with work stress and eating rubbish due to this stress. Getting the wrong side of 40 and my blood pressure was through the roof the other day. Like most blokes I have never been to the doctor, and my diet has been poor for years. So will be making some better health choices in 2025. Married with twin girls, so need to make sure I am doing everything I can to be around for as long as can for them.
@simimackay2638 I'm having BP problems and cholesterol too at the moment and am doing a BP diary so I know where you're coming from.
Stress does you no good. I struggle relaxing, and took up meditation to help, which it has. I was cynical about it, but it seems to have helped in some respects.
I'm just outside Cambridge.
@ I am Peterborough based. I have not even checked cholesterol. So that is probably high too. Sweet tooth for years.
Don’t drink much and have not smoked for many years since the kids were born.
Kicking sugar is so hard though, as I am an addict 😂 Building in fruit each day and have stopped eating chocolate, sweets, biscuits, crisp etc. I walk 10000 steps routinely every day and have done for 7 years now. So hopefully this will help me. Have recently stopped doing Martial arts, which I have done for around 15 years with two years of teaching students. Had to unfortunately stop this due to work changes this year and found my students a new home.
Might look into meditation to see if it adds a new dimension and life help. 👍
@simimackay2638 it strikes me that you haven't been doing too much wrong apart from the sweets. That should hold you in good stead.
Great picture. Also, as you said before, be sure who you let in your life and know their priority in your life.
Absolutely Christiano. Thanks for watching.
Thanks James, im on the same page as you. Excellent video.
Thanks Pam - I'm glad the video aligns our thinking!
as a younger person i will try to use these since they do seem very good
I'm really glad the video made sense to you. It took me until my mid-50s before I started to realise. You've got a head start on me!
@@JamesMurphyYT but still it's better late then never!
You have a wise head on those young shoulders 😁
Young??? Thanks for boosting my eg. Glad you enjoyed the video
This is kind of a wrap up of that last few vids. Getting each one into a sentence. Good idea.
My free government phone only rings twice. Plus, I can't save people so I have to carry a little phone book around with me. Luckily, the spam skips me and goes straight to voicemail. I don't have family, they have already gone, so I'm not worried about some 'dreaded' call. And people with ADHD hate to hear a phone ring, it's a side affect. So most of the time, I just turn it off.
I don't want to work anymore. I hate washing dishes, mopping, dusting...but I live alone and it has to be done every day. I really hate going to the doctor or hospital. But, has to be done. (5 hospital trips this year so far.) I do love staying up late, finally, and do take advantage of that. I am a diagnosed Night Owl, I am going to assume you are a Lark. I'm eating my mid-day meal at 10p! LOL One thing I've stopped is decorating! Yay! I leave stuff up all year round...Nativity Scene, pumpkin, Easter cross, shamrock, the National Flag, etc. I'm fine.
I think we've covered the rest.
Stay safe...
I ended up unplugging my landline. I figure if it's someone who knows me, they'll have my mobile...or if not they can get me via my social medias. The only people who phoned my landline were people trying to sell me something.
We're always awake by 6am...although we stay in bed until 7, because I got up and made a cup of tea which we drink in bed and we listen to the radio before getting up. However, I used to do that when I got to bed late as well, so there's no difference there.
Thanks for commenting Josh.
