👉 Science-proven HAPPINESS HACKS | #shorts

We’re fortunate to have access to a lot of guidance about what it is that can help us feel more positive when life feels too heavy…⁣
⁣
And when you start to explore some of the positive psychology and mental health research, there’s a very clear theme that shines through…⁣
⁣
‘Happy’ isn’t something you are…⁣
It’s something you do.⁣
⁣
It’s a set of actions or behaviors that, when consistently applied or followed, actually have a positive impact on your subjective wellbeing… It makes you feel happier and more positive. ⁣
⁣
👉 Here are 4 science-backed Tips you can apply:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Surround yourself with positive people (Shin, 2022). ⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Regularly express Gratitude (Wood et al., 2010).⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Do something kind for someone (Otake et al., 2006).⁣
⁣
4️⃣ Exercise (Zhang & Chen, 2019). ⁣
⁣
(Caveat - if you’re really struggling, please reach out for professional support. You’re never alone. 🧡) ⁣
⁣
NOTE: Now of course, none of this is new - it's already been shared by ancient philosophers and the world's great religions... Science is only recently catching up 😛
