The Science of Happiness

Jen Angel put an awesome article up on Alternet this December about 10 things that are scientifically-proven to make you happy. I don’t usually cover lifestyle stuff, but this is too good to pass up.

Her list includes: 

1. Savor Everyday Moments

2. Avoid Comparisons

3. Put Money Low on the List

4. Have Meaningful Goals

5. Take Initiative at Work

6. Make Friends, Treasure Family

7. Smile Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

8. Say Thank You Like You Mean It

9. Get Out and Exercise

10. Give It Away, Give It Away Now

 

You’ll have to go to the article to find out the scientific basis for each, but it’s a very cool look at the way our attitudes shape our lives and our health.
