It's time to improve your life.
Happiness is hard to describe in words, but can be measured. And what's more — you can even make it so that it will become in our life a little or even much more. Scientists have identified a list of daily activities and habits that definitely increase our level of happiness — scientifically proven!
Exercise
People who exercise regularly (at least 2.5 hours a week) feel themselves 50% happier than those who lead a less active lifestyle. And it's not just that sport helps us produce endorphins: exercise allows you to make new friends, communicate more, and also spend more time in the fresh air. So it's time to buy a sports club membership and comfortable sneakers!
Going to concerts
Researchers at Goldsmiths College have found that going to concerts is 20% more uplifting than yoga and even meditation. Live music is a great way to feel happier, moreover, if you listen to it regularly, you can significantly increase your level of well-being and physical stability. Perhaps it's time to give yourself tickets to a concert of your favorite artist or a subscription to the opera!
Play Musical Instruments
Playing musical instruments lowers the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and acts as a good sedative and relaxing agent. And also — it spurs creative and creative abilities. In general, when Sherlock Holmes played the violin, he definitely knew what he was doing. If you want to become not only calmer and happier, but also smarter, sign up for guitar or piano courses. And let the whole world wait!
Vacationing by the Sea
Living by the sea increases happiness levels, something we all already assumed, a study from last year proved. But if we can't leave everything and go to live by the warm sea, we can at least spend a vacation there. And bring home lots and lots of happiness!
Tidy up
Cleaning up daily may not be the surest way to make you happier, but what about cleaning up large debris? Scientists from the University of Berkeley say that bringing order and eliminating chaos reduces stress, increases happiness, and even helps reduce the risk of depression. A big cleaning once or twice a year is not only a way to get tired, but also a good exercise for our sense of happiness!
Spending time alone
At least half an hour a day alone with the necessary minimum that allows us to maintain psychological health and & nbsp; comfort. We simply need a daily respite in the modern fast and stressful world — try to find time in the new year for the best and most dear person in the world. For you.
Taking a selfie
One indispensable condition: you must smile in the photo. Researchers from the University of California have proven that sharing smiling selfies makes senders and recipients not only more confident, but also happier. So take pictures and smile more often!
