Six Happy Secrets of Yale University
1. Spend time and energy in the right way. We spend hours on Facebook or Twitter, although research shows that using social media is related to depression and anxiety. We need to have one-on-one real-time conversations with people. Our schedule is too full, our attention is distracted, we stare at the screen all day, and we miss the thing that really makes us happy-face-to-face socializing with people who can see blushing, smiling and blinking in real life. We scroll through Instagram Feed and think it's social, but it's not. When talking to people, don't just spit and complain about each other.

2. Take time to express gratitude. Pause 10 minutes every day and think about five things you are grateful for, which can make you cherish the important things more and improve your happiness. The point is, when you do this, you can't just say "I thank my house, my spouse and my children". You must take the time to feel ta. This is a moment of real reflection: "What would my life be like without ta? Usually the gifts in your life come from people you are grateful for, so think more about those who have helped you.

3. Do something to help others. Doing good deeds will improve happiness. People who spend money on others are happier, because their generosity will bring "warm light" to the giver.

4. Take time to meditate. Meditate for 5~ 10 minutes every day to increase happiness. Santos likes loving meditation: "I hope you are happy, I hope you have a good life." This meditation helps her feel protected by her relatives. You can also pass this blessing on to all the people you care about.

5. Get enough exercise and sleep. Exercise is good not only for your health, but also for your happiness. Exercise can relieve the symptoms of depression. Another simple way to make you feel better is to get enough sleep, because lack of sleep will make you depressed.

6. Practice these happiness secrets every day. The above five happiness secrets seem really simple, but they need persistent practice. It's like exercise-just doing a few squats here or there won't do. You must keep exercising to see the effect. "Sometimes, you think that if you just do these things once, you will be happy forever, but this is not the case." One of the main lessons learned from this job is that it is possible to change your happiness, but it takes a lot of effort. 」
