My alma mater has been busy! The University of Arizona teamed up with Washington University to perform a research study on whether happy people and unhappy people differ in their converstations.
The results showed....
- Happy people spend less time alone and 70 percent more time talking
AND
-The happiest people had twice as many substantive conversations and one-third less small talk than their unhappy counterparts.
Given this information, what makes YOU happy? Believe it or not, there is research out there to answer this question for you! According to the EXPERTS, here are 5 things that will make you happy:
1- Be grateful
2- Be optimistic
3- Count your blessings
4- Use your strengths
5- Commit acts of kindness
6- Eat candy (ok, I added this one!)
So readers let me help you with #5, "Commit Acts of Kindness":
Send 5lbs of bulk candy to someone who needs some cheering up. It will make you feel really good inside.....
Who's Your Candy?
I agree whenever you send someone candy - you make them HAPPY!
