10 Youtube Videos To Brighten Your Day Youtube

We all have those days that when it’s challenging to even get out of bed, let alone be productive. During those moments, there is a tendency to spend time scrolling through social media and YouTube in order to pass time without getting anything done. Well, if you’re in such a situation, here are some of the best YouTube videos to brighten your day up and maybe motivate you to get some things done.

If It’s Difficult to Get Out of Bed in the Morning

In case you need a quick pick-me-up as soon as you wake up, it’s helpful to keep your social media time relatively short; especially if you have to find enough motivation to get up, get dressed, and go to work. This is when it might be good to get a glimpse of hope from powerful motivation videos that won’t actually leave you lying in bed far too long, such as this one:

But, sometimes, this challenge of getting out of bed in the morning turns into a difficult period, not just one random day. When you need more help to wake up bright and ready to roll, try turning to the Minds in Unison YouTube channel and leave the video playing throughout the night.

If You’re Feeling Stressed and Anxious

Sometimes, the day just happens to start all wrong. If you need to find a relatively quick and effective way to relax, you can’t go wrong with ASMR videos. YouTube features many ASMRtists and you can definitely find something that makes you fully enjoy your Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. The following YouTube ASMR videos are just an example of the sea of other options available; you can do some digging on your own and find the soothing sound/activity that relaxes you the most.

If You’re Struggling with Self-Doubt

Even though we all know that negative self-talk is a lie, in reality, it’s really difficult to fight it. Every time when self-doubt and low self-esteem are eating you whole, it might be better to occupy your thoughts with practical advice than inspirational quotes. Take a listen to Rob Dial for words of wisdom. His video about negative self-talk is a real eye-opener.

If You’re Feeling Lonely

Did you know that Millennials are the loneliest generation? You too, probably, have people who love and support you, yet you often feel lonely. It’s not that we feel alone as much as we feel the inner loneliness. Possibly, the biggest issue with that is the lack of introspection, of trying to understand oneself. Jordan Peterson has a really powerful insight in this case. Someone in the comments said that he’s the best thing that happened to the world in the last couple of years so check that out for yourself.

If You Find It Difficult to Focus

Now, when it comes to the focus boost, we are all different. Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of background noise to resume our work properly, regardless of what’s playing. But not every day is like that, of course.

That said, if you’re looking for a quick way to enhance concentration, focus, and clarity in the morning, why not play and watch a video like this one:

On the other hand, if you just need some background noise to help you concentrate on what you’re doing better, music videos such as this one might be ideal:

If You Just Want to Laugh

Sometimes, all we need to brighten our day is a little bit of heartfelt laughter. Now, this may seem like the easiest video category to recommend, but it’s actually rather tricky. After all, what makes one person laugh may not make you laugh as much. Of course, YouTube is a treasure trove of funny videos and you’re bound to find something that will make you laugh like crazy – just take the effort to try.

For instance, if you’re looking for a sure way to LMAO, Dylan Moran’s stand-up comedy is the right kicker:

And if you’re a movie buff, you’ll definitely appreciate Screen Rant’s Pitch Meetings:

The fact that we live in a digital age and can connect to the Internet via our smartphones has many benefits; one of them being the ability to open the YouTube app and play whatever video you’d want to brighten your day and sneak in some much-needed fun. So why stop here? Make your own list that you can access in seconds every time you crave some pick-me-up content.
