according to the london times online, a team of 400 scientists commissioned by the government have discovered 5 simple activities, which if done daily, will increase your mental well-being and happiness. the scientific study lists the following:
- connect – develop interpersonal relationships.
- be active – sports, gardening, walking, dancing, etc.
- be curious – notice the beauty of everyday moments as well as the unusual.
- learn – the challenge and satisfaction bring joy and confidence.
- give – helping friends and strangers links your wellness to a larger community.
good stuff. it is an interesting list of 5 simple daily steps to a sane life.
i find the article relevant not because of what is listed but because of what is not listed. contrary to almost every advertisement i have ever seen, there is no link between my personal well-being and obtaining possessions. happiness in life is found in the little things, not in a department store.
