What does happiness look like to you?
Is it money? Is it a number of likes or follows on Instagram? Is it a relationship?
It’s not wrong to want any of these things or to work towards having them, however, how does one feel content whilst working towards these goals? Could we say that maybe happiness is not a destination?
Dr Ryan T Howell, Assistant Professor of Psychology from San Francisco University, said “Happy people make decisions every day that improve their wellbeing.”
Happy people:
- Organise and manage their finances well
- Spend their money on life experiences instead of material items
- Reflect on the past fondly
- Have healthy friendships and support networks
The best part is that it’s totally up to you! You can decide how you’d like to shape and design your life to be happy. My list starts with, sunrise walks on the beach, the way my disco balls in my house reflect light throughout my house, sprinkles and bubble baths. What does yours say?
