While happiness does not happen by chance, you don’t need to change our entire life to find it. Start your journey to a happier you by developing these easy habits.
Work Out Often
Staying active can make you feel more enthusiasm for daily activities. So hit the gym or take up a sport that suits you best. Working out does you more good than burning off calories and strengthening your muscles. 36 That’s why healthy people are generally 20% happier than unhealthy people.
Volunteer
37 Using your skills to assist the less fortunate can boost your happiness. After all, it is joyful to bring some life and light back into someone’s life. You can start small, like preparing a meal for your elderly neighbor.
Enjoy Friendship
Everyone can find himself stuck in trouble now and then. Enjoy an evening talking about your lives with your friends. Often they know you well enough to give you sound advice. 38
Plan Your Day
Having a set schedule can reduce stress throughout your day. Plan each day’s work before stepping into the office. 39 Staying organized by planning ahead can help you enjoy each moment.
Turn Off the TV
Turning on the TV for “noise” or relaxation can actually be harmful to your health and your happiness. Don’t turn on the TV while you’re cooking or doing the housework. Try turning on some soft music to relax. Turn off the TV and give yourself some reflective (沉思) time to read a book or play a game with your family. 40
