Happiness is short, determined by every-thing from the weather to the size of your bank account. We’re not suggesting that you can reach a lasting state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to be far away from the paths of anxiety, anger frustration, and sadness once or even several times throughout the day.
1. Go to sleep. We have become a nation of sleep-deprived citizens. Taking a daily nap or getting into bed at 8 p.m. one night with a good book and turning the light out an hour later can have a better effect on your mood than any number of bubble baths or massages.
2. Hum along. Studies find that music makes parts of the brain active that produce happiness. It’s also relaxing. In one study, older adults who listened to their choice of music during the eye surgery had significantly lower heart rates, blood pressure, etc.
3. Volunteer. Helping others provides social interaction. While happy people are more likely to help others, helping others increases your happiness. One study found that volunteer work improved the aspects of well-being: happiness, life satisfaction, self-esteem(自尊), sense of control over life, and physical health.
4. Develop close relationships. People who have a lot of supportive friends are much more likely to have healthier blood pressure and stress hormone levels than those with two or fewer close friends. Women and a few men also seem to benefit from good relationships with their parents and spouses(配偶). People who feel lonely and depressed are three to five times more likely to get sick and die too early than those who have feelings of love, connection, and community.
5. Take care of the soul. Studies find that actively religious people are happier and cope better with crises, according to David Myers, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. For many people, faith provides a sense of life’s meaning, feelings of acceptance, a reason to focus beyond yourself, and a new view on life’s sadness. Even if you’re not religious, strong faith may offer similar benefits.
