Have you ever wondered why you're not as happy as you'd like to be? Based on my own personal experience and the happiness facts published by Harvard University, I've summarized the following habits that will make you happy!
Laugh often. Laughter is the most powerful medicine to anger or depression. Research has shown that the simple act of smiling can increase your feeling of happiness. Try to find humor and laughter in life's everyday struggles.
Keep your agreement. Our self-respect is built on the agreements we've made with ourselves and with others. And high self-respect has a direct relationship with happiness.
Do your best and then let go. Everyone has limitations, and things don't always turn out to be what we'd like them to be—despite our efforts. So always give your best, and then let go. When you've done your best, you'll have no regrets.
Give back. According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains become active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards. So it's not a surprise that people who care more about others are happier than those who care less about others.
These happiness habits have proven to be true in my own life. During those periods when I focus on developing the habits listed above, I do feel happier and more fulfilled-like now. Happiness is not an accident.
