How to Increase Your Happiness



Huffington Post´s article about how you can increase your happiness by doing a few simple things is a good read. However, I do find the tips in the article are great pointers toward living a fuller life, including happiness.


Here are the steps mentioned in the article for increasing your happiness:

  • Exercise more - 7 minutes might be enough
  • Sleep more - you'll be less sensitive to negative emotions
  • Move closer to work - a short commute is worth more than a big house
  • Spend time with friends and family - don't regret it on your deathbed
  • Go outside - happiness is maximized at 13.9°C
  • Help others - 100 hours a year is the magical number
  • Practice smiling - it can alleviate pain
  • Plan a trip - but don't take one
  • Meditate - rewire your brain for happiness
  • Practice gratitude - increase both happiness and life satisfaction
