Finding Happiness
Resolve to be happy in 2021! The internet has a plethora of websites, videos and tips to demonstrate how to be happy. Western neuroscience has now confirmed what Eastern wisdom has suggested for a long time: happiness is a skill we can learn. Research shows that happiness, compassion and kindness are the product of skills that can be enhanced through training. Visit Action for Happiness for suggestions of actions you can take to increase your happiness. For example, making a list of three things you are grateful for every day for just one week increases happiness and decreases depression for up to 6 months later. If you want to delve deeper into increasing your happiness consider visiting the Happify website of downloading their app. Happify offers science based activities and games that improve mental health.
