There is more and more evidence that happiness has a very positive impact on your health. I’ll start with the big one. When your’ happy you life longer.
Researchers were going over the diaries of the Sister of Notre Dame of Milwaukee. This sister lived together sense the early 1930’s. What the researcher found in their diaries were the sisters that used words that were more positive in their diaries lived eight years longer. Now that should get your attention.
Let’s look at it in another way. Gallup along with Kansas University did a study in 140 countries and questioned over 150,000 people. Those 140 countries account for over 95% of the world’s population. Here is one thing they found that no matter the status of the people being questioned, meaning they might be living in a real third world life style. The results remained the same. Negative emotions were a reliable predictor of poor health.
So you can see being happy improve your life span and being negative is a predictor of poor health. This might make you do a personal reassessment of your life style.
This is the easy part. If you want to be happy, you will be happy. It is that easy. Now there are many other things that you can build on to raise your level of happiness and I’ll touch on just a few.
Smile more because when you smile others smile with you. It makes everyone feel better and when we feel good we are healthier. Not bad for just a smile.
A heartfelt thank you works wonders for you and those that you gave the thank you to. This is even stronger, hand write someone you want to thank, and in the thank you note give them the reason you have sent them the thank you. It truly show that you care and took the time to do something special.
You see how by just doing the little things you have brought happiness to yourself and others, which helps build your health.
Happiness with health and wealth to you
