Want some basic tips on how to be happy? Five simple, achievable things, possible for any of us to reach for, no matter our economic status, job or size of house.
Nic Marks from the Happy Planet Index talked about them in a lecture on Happiness I went to the other day. So here it is - a list of points that could well be the signpost to a happier life.
1) Connnect (with people, build relationships)
2) Take Notice (of the world around you)
3) Exercise (it really does work, take it from one reformed couch pototo)
4) Keep learning (it doesn’t have to be ambitious - learn a new language, a new skill, a new dish)
5) Give (yes, giving is indeed better than taking)
Try out these points and let me know how it all worked out for you
