Keeping the HAPPY in Happy New Year
Hello, and Happy New Year!
As we step into 2024, let's look at the theme of spreading happiness and keeping the joy alive throughout the coming months, which can be a bit tricky with colder, darker days.
A happy mind is a healthy mind, making mood support an essential part of self-care. This year, let's intentionally prioritize mental health, creating a positive mindset. When we radiate happiness, our world becomes a better place.
A positive mindset contributes to our overall well-being, increased resilience, and a more fulfilling life. Focusing on happiness empowers us to navigate life's challenges with a positive outlook.
An 85-year-long Harvard study on human happiness, revealed a key insight: close relationships and social connections significantly contribute to well-being, especially as we age. Building "Social Fitness", as the research suggests, involves being proactive in seeking, maintaining, and repairing relationships.
