The Science of Being Happy

Well it is a good thing that researchers do these types of studies because we would just be milling about anyways. They have found that emotions can be transferred by means of smell, both negative and positive emotions. This would suggest that you are better off hanging out with the happy people. Besides, they can teach you a couple things and just fun to be around. Money can also make you happier, but only if spent right. You should collect experiences not stuff. The experiences will vary from person to person but it is the stories that we live with. A plethora of studies have shown a correlation between happiness and exercise, adequate sleep, and a healthy diet. Throw in 25 pushups a day, and you're doing vastly better than just sitting around. To get better sleep, avoid using electronic devices, mobile applications or television in the bedroom just prior to hitting the sheets. You should also try investing more time in friendships. There is a strong correlation between happiness and social ties.

  1. So all the social media mobile applications really do come in useful. I guess it is all about moderation.

  2. I use mobile applications for yoga and meditation. You just have to be willing to try a couple before finding the right one that works for you.
