What does happiness depend on?

 

Harvard spent 85 years studying happiness.

This is what they discovered:

1️⃣ Loneliness is unhealthy:
It's as harmful to health as smoking

What can you do?
↳ Join a local club or group

A few deep connections beat many shallow ones

What can you do?
↳ Have a heart-to-heart with a close friend
↳ Plan a one-on-one outing with a loved one

Small, supportive circles are enough

What can you do?
↳ Create a book club with 2-3 friends
↳ Start a weekly game night with your closest pals
↳ Find an online community that shares your passion

4️⃣ Use social media wisely:
Build real connections, not scroll endlessly

What can you do?

5️⃣ Purpose motivates:
Find meaning in work or relationships

What can you do?
↳ Write down your goals
↳ Mentor someone in your field
↳ Start a passion project that helps others

6️⃣ Money has limits:
Beyond basics, more cash ≠ more joy

What can you do?
↳ Practice gratitude for what you already have
↳ Spend on experiences rather than things
↳ Set up a giving fund for causes you care about

7️⃣ Health is essential:
Physical well-being fuels a good life

What can you do?
↳ Establish a consistent sleep schedule

8️⃣ It's never too late:
Happiness can grow at any age

What can you do?
↳ Learn a new skill or hobby
↳ Reconnect with an old friend
↳ Plan a trip to a place you've always wanted to visit

Apply these actions, or find the ones that fulfill you.

Connect, find purpose, and take care of yourself.

Remember:

You're your most important project.

Make happiness your priority.
