Recommended by Harvard University: 20 little things that make you happy!
What is happiness?

Maybe everyone has a different answer to this question. Our life experiences are different, so we have different interpretations of happiness.

But no matter what kind of happy retelling, it comes from the warmest cognition and the richest feelings in your heart.

Happiness is not vanity on the face, but an internal need; Happiness is not in the eyes of others, but in your own heart.

These 20 little things recommended by Harvard University tell us that happiness is not far away from us, and the little things in life are the source of happiness.

1. Smile.

First of all, please remember: it is not the sunshine that makes the world bright, but your smile.

As San Mao said, "When I laugh, my face looks like a spring flower. It will definitely touch people, no matter who he is. " The power of a smile can touch the soul at any time and space.

Life will not be different because of a roar. But because of a smile, it becomes extraordinarily beautiful.

So when you open your eyes, please smile.

Don't care what others think.

Life is your own after all, don't care too much about what others think of you.

If others praise and flatter you, you won't be ten years younger; If people ignore you or even laugh at you, you won't become stupid.

You know, there are only three things in this world: your own business, others' business and God's business. What else do you care about?

3. Spend at least 10 minutes in meditation every day.

There is some time alone every day, because: wisdom will be born.

A wise man also said: the best state of life is abundance and tranquility. Not only do we need some quiet time, but at a certain age, we will enjoy all the quiet time.

Many annoying things, we will explain to ourselves in this quiet time, so don't walk too fast and wait for the soul.

4. Spend some time with people over 70 and children under 6.

One cannot give up at least two things in one's life: wisdom and innocence.

When we get along with the elderly, we can gain more wisdom in life. When we get along with children, we will regain innocence in a short time.

And this is the wonderful thing about life.

5. Don't take it too seriously.

Whether it is a preset thing or such a thing, there is a common name-helplessness.

We are powerless to change. We should admit that we are powerless rather than insisting.

So, do your best and listen to fate. This is the greatest peace in the world.

6. You don't need to win every argument.

Life is not a battlefield, there is no need to compete. Trying to listen to other people's opinions is also a kind of recognition for yourself.

A gentleman is harmonious but different. Your accomplishment will make you happier.

7. Don't spend precious energy chatting with others.

When you are fragrant, the butterfly will come; If you are depressed, you will have bad luck.

So, try to do something more meaningful. After all, it is not only gossip that can enrich life.

8. Life is short. Don't waste it hating anyone.

The greatest achievement in life is tolerance.

It is neither cowardly nor forbearing. It will not envy people's talents, my abilities, satirize people's shortcomings and accuse people's mistakes, but it will examine people's difficulties, make up people's shortcomings, develop people's strengths and forgive people's mistakes.

You know, time is your own. Instead of spending a lot of time hating others, it is better to forgive others and let yourself go. Away from all negative emotions, life will eventually teach us that no one is responsible for our life except ourselves.

9. Drink plenty of water if you have nothing to do.

Adults' bodies are 70% made up of water, while children's bodies are 80% made up of water.

Water is vital to human health. We often say that people can go without food for three days, but they must not go without water for three days.

Water can not only promote metabolism, but also be very useful for soothing emotions.

Therefore, people always drink water when they have nothing to do. Drinking water is the source of health, and water is comparable to any good medicine.

10. Please dream more when you are awake.

Heine once said: "If you don't sow in spring, you won't grow in summer, you won't harvest in autumn, and you won't taste in winter."

I think, life is the same, only sowing can harvest, only looking forward will be better. And this is what we often call "daydreaming".

There is nothing wrong with daydreaming properly. In the hurried years, how delightful it is to think about poetry and distance.

There is a particularly popular joke on the Internet called "There must be a dream. What if they come true? " So, why not try it?

1 1. Sleep 8 hours a day.

There is one thing that can improve memory and increase charm; Keep slim and reduce appetite; Protect you from cancer and Alzheimer's disease; Let you not catch a cold, not catch a cold; Reduce your risk of heart disease, myocardial infarction and diabetes. This will make you feel happier, less depressed and less nervous.

This thing is called sleep. Sleep expert Matthew Weller said.

Sleep is more important than diet and exercise. Sleep is the most harmful if you deprive a person of sleep, food or exercise for 24 hours. People over 45 who sleep less than 6 hours a night are 200% more likely to suffer from heart disease and cerebral infarction than those who sleep 7-8 hours.

Therefore, Shi suggested sleeping time: 10 afternoon to 6 am the next day.

12. Forget the unpleasant past and don't dwell on past mistakes.

Yesterday's day can't be kept, and today's day is even more troublesome.

There is a proverb in the west called water under the bridge, so why be too trapped in your heart and confused.

We don't plant flowers to be angry; We don't talk to complain; We have no regrets.

Don't live in regret for the past; Do not live in fear of the future. Living in the present is worthy of your own life.

13. Let yourself read more every month than last month.

"The picture scroll is like an old friend, and every blind date is gloomy. There are three thousand words in front of you, and there is no dust on your chest. "

Reading is an intelligent behavior, and this behavior itself can lead a person to greater wisdom.

Taking books as the normal state of life is the most beautiful habit in life. If you always have a pleasant book at hand, put it at the end of the desk and put it at the bedside, it is a blessing to life.

Read the autumn moon from the spring flowers, the morning glow from the night snow, and read more books every day. Why worry about the day when you don't learn to make a fortune?

As the saying goes: use books, hate less! I feel sorry when I reach a certain age: I read too little when I was young! Read and enjoy it, or it will be too late.

14. Spend 10-30 minutes jogging every day.

Do you know what is the most effective and economical way to exercise? Jogging, persistent jogging!

Medical authorities believe that jogging is a good way to exercise the heart and body. Losing weight and quitting smoking are of great benefit.

Some people say, "Running every day is indispensable for happiness."

Nowadays, there is a tendency to jog everywhere. Are you in?

15. No one can control your happiness except yourself.

We all seem to be used to seeing other people's attitudes to decide our emotions. Those who can't help themselves can't actually be called happiness. Happiness should be a feeling from the heart.

If you love yourself more than anything else. If you think the food is weak, you can add some salt; If you think onions are tasteless, add an egg.

Your happiness depends on yourself.

So next time you feel sad, don't point the finger at others.

16. No matter how busy you are at work, you can't be considerate and warm when you are sick; Your friend will give it to you.

So remember to keep in touch. True friendship can stand the test, thanks to time, space, fame and fortune to help you get rid of those who used to cry and laugh together; And the rest, please learn to cherish!

17. Don't forget: call your family often.

In the past, when we had a phone, we would call home every three days. Now we have more mobile phones, and we can't make a few calls for three or two years.

But time waits for no one, and there won't always be that familiar voice on the other end of the phone. So, don't forget to call your family often, even if it is a lesbian.

Of course, more importantly, remember: always go home!

18. Try to make at least 3 people smile every day.

Indian poet Tagore said: When a person smiles, the world will fall in love with him.

Smile is the most infectious force. Please smile every day while trying to make others laugh.

If you can do this, you will gain a lot: healthy body and mind, good interpersonal skills. ...

19. Take time to meditate, practice yoga or pray.

Readers often ask me, "Why do I get along well with everyone, but I'm still unhappy?"

The reason is simple, because we are all thinking about how to become gregarious and more popular, but we ignore the most important point: how to get along with ourselves.

Learning to be alone and know yourself is an essential ability for a person. As Chen said, "If it's not useless, why make a limited sound?"

Calm down and have a good conversation with yourself. External harmony comes from the heart.

20. No matter what your mood is: get up, freshen up and debut!

Mood is secondary, and life is the main thing. At any time, all we have to do is be the best of ourselves.

Yesterday's sun will not dry today's clothes. A person who knows how to live will never dwell on the past.

So, don't be decadent and depressed. Dress up, you are still the most beautiful you!

What people are afraid of,

Happiness is at hand.
