Optimistic..

 

Give yourself a chance to be happy.

* The body needs to move regularly throughout the day. Sitting for long periods of time does not help. At the very least walk briskly for an hour every day. 

* Our social connections are important in terms of overall wellbeing and life satisfaction. Indeed, making time to talk, listen, share and have fun with friends and family is a habit to prioritise.

* Studies have found that having a more optimistic mindset and practising a sense of gratitude can buffer against negative emotions and increase happiness.

*  Research shows that dogs motivate their human companions to be more active and in turn, both dog and human have a shared pleasurable experience that boosts their happiness.

So be happy... Try it.  Just a thought.
