The Power of Happiness: What Makes You happy?
The Power of Happiness: What Makes You happy? The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said these words more than 2,000 years ago, and they still ring true today. Happiness is a broad term that describes the experience of positive emotions, such as joy, contentment, and satisfaction. Emerging research shows that being happier doesn’t just make you feel better — it actually brings a host of potential health benefits.
Scientific evidence suggests that being happy may have major benefits for your health. For starters, being happy promotes a healthy lifestyle. It may also help combat stress, boost your immune system, protect your heart, and reduce pain. What’s more, it may even increase your life expectancy.
Benefits of daily happiness
A study of more than 7,000 adults found that those with a positive well-being were 47% more likely to consume fresh fruits and vegetables than their fewer positive counterparts. (3Trusted Source). Diets rich in fruits and vegetables have consistently been associated with a range of health benefits. Including lower risks of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease (4Trusted Source, 5, 6Trusted Source).
In the same study of 7,000 adults. Researchers found that individuals with a positive well-being were 33% more likely to be physically active, with 10 or more hours of physical activity per week (3Trusted Source). Regular physical activity helps build strong bones, increase energy levels, decrease body fat and lower blood pressure. (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source). What’s more, being happier may also improve sleep habits and practices, which is important for concentration, productivity, exercise performance and maintaining a healthy weight
Tips To help you increase your happiness
Take a break from social media
Social media has proven to be a boon at the current time. It has actually made the world smaller where you can connect with people sitting in the other continent just with the click of a button. But this also gives rise to anxiety and stress levels among people. If you intend to stay happy and spend some quality time with yourself, take a break from social media from time to time.
Pamper yourself
While juggling with our busy life we hardly find time for ourselves. Giving time to yourself and pampering yourself can help to relax and rejuvenate. Go for a spa session or have a hearty morning breakfast in your favorite restaurant. Taking breaks from time to time from your schedule is one of the best ways to stay happy.
Stay active
We often underestimate the importance of regular exercise, but it is one of the important activities that help you stay happy as well as healthy. Exercising helps to release endorphins, neurotransmitters in your brain that can make you feel happier. Even if you do not engage in a formal exercising routine, staying physically active throughout the day can help you gain confidence.
The fact is that energy flows where the mind goes. Being mentally aware of inevitability and knowing what helps achieve and sustain fulfillment, it becomes easier to pursue a path which is frequently enjoyable, individually fulfilling, and meaningful as it touches other lives.
