I read an article that talked about ways to be happier. The piece said happiness can be learned, and recommended practicing these habits, most of which I’ve written about in my book and/or here:
- Performing acts of kindness,
- Increasing social connections, including initiating conversations with people you don’t know,
- Savoring one’s experiences,
- Deliberately drawing our attention to the positive events and aspects of one’s day,
- Practicing feeling grateful, and endeavoring to thank people they have never sufficiently thanked as they would have liked to,
- Being physically active,
- Exploring mindfulness and other meditation techniques.
Here’s to being happier,
