What is Happiness?
Psychology and philosophy breaks down happiness into 3 categories:
The pleasant life
The engaged life
The meaningful life
Each area can be expanded and engaged.
You can create happiness!
Be Grateful:
Studies show that creating a weekly gratitude list produces an increase in feelings of happiness and wellbeing
Forgiveness and Service:
Recent research demonstrates that acts of forgiveness can help people release themselves from past hurts. You can forgive the person directly or to yourself.
By doing something nice for someone, especially anonymously, you can improve your satisfaction with life. You gotta give it away to get it!
Optimism and Hope:
Maintaining a sense of optimism and hopefulness can increase your ability to solve problems and create positive outcomes.
Water the positive seeds. By focusing on what is positive, you can grow and nurture the good in yourself and others.
Try and see the glass as half full, not half empty.
Savoring:
Enjoy the moment. Savor each bite of food, enjoy your time with friends, feel the warmth of the sun, relish in the feelings of a good work out.
