How to boost one’s happiness? The above list forms a good example. Writing down a few of the things that make us happy as an every day ritual is an activity, which definitely boosts our mood and our energy levels. That’s why we need to make it a lifelong habit.
What else makes us happy?
1. Social connections are good for us, loneliness kills.
People who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are happier, they’re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less connected. People who are more isolated, tend to be less happy and their health declines earlier.
2. Quality relationships that count.
It’s not a numbers game, or whether or not you’re in a committed relationship, but the quality of those relationships that really counts. Staying in high conflict marriages are potentially worse than getting divorced, and living with good, warm relationships is protective.
3. Good relationships also protect our brains.
Research has also indicated that being in a securely attached relationship to another person in your 80s, is protective. People who are in relationships where they feel they can count on the other person in times of need, tend to have memories that stay sharper and longer.
In other words, as scientists claim, a good life is founded on good relationships, however other major factors, such as genetics, life circumstances, and various activities, exert on your happiness.
