A best-selling author named Dan Beuttner traveled the world studying how people live long, happy lives. Recently, he released the top habits of the world’s happiest people.
He said these are things you can do to feel happier every day:
1. Get at least eight hours of sleep. The happiest people sleep eight to nine-and-a-half hours a night.
2. Eat a plant-based breakfast. Stay away from too much meat and dairy in the morning. Sugary cereal isn’t good either.
3. Socialize. The more the better.
4. Volunteer. People who give their time to worthy and important causes feel more satisifed.
5. Take naps. Quick power naps of 30 minutes or less leave us more focused, creative, and productive.
6. Have faith. It doesn’t matter what you believe in. Studies show people who are religious or faithful are more likely to describe themselves as “very happy.”
7. Limit TV and social media. The ideal amount is no more than 30 minutes a day of each.
8. This one’s not doable for most of us: Don’t work full-time. You won’t be happy if you can’t make ends meet. But in a perfect world, part-time is better. People who work less than 35 hours a week tend to be the happiest overall.
Do you currently do any of these??
