We all just want to be happy, right? Well, why is that most of us tend to live in a state of fear, worry, anxiety, and upset? How come we simply can't be happy and enjoy our lives? If you think that money will make you happier, you're wrong. In fact, studies have suggested that, whether we win the lottery or we suffer a horrific and tragic accident, in turn becoming a paraplegic, each of us has a baseline happiness barometer that we return to some time after those events. This baseline level of happiness, is also called our Hedonic Set Point. We might get a new job, buy a new car, win the lottery, or suffer a tragic loss of some kind, but we will always revert back to our Hedonic Set Point. So, unhappy people will remain generally unhappy, whereas, happy people will remain generally happy. The only way to really affect how happy and satisfied you are in life, is to follow along with 12 simple habits. These happiness habits, if you will, help to aid in life-long content and joy. By employing these happy habits, which are simple routines that are conducted on a daily basis, we can lead a happier and more care-free life. But, like any other habit development, these happy habits take time to institute, and must be built up slowly over time. Take the time every single day to ensure that you're employing these happiness habits in your life, and watch not only your quality of life improve, but also your overall happiness and satisfaction in all things.
