12 Things Happy People Do Differently
As a camp director at a multicultural summer camp, I’m aware of our focus on empowering children at our girls-only and boys-only programs. As adults though, we should also focus on our job of taking care of ourselves, so we can be better people for ourselves, our families, our friends, and our children.
I came across an article by Jacob Sokol (citing positivity psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky) recently with a nice checklist of 12 things happy people do differently. For more details, including the scientific basis behind how and why these strategies work, check out this link.
- Express gratitude.
- Cultivate optimism.
- Avoid over-thinking and social comparison.
- Practice acts of kindness.
- Nurture social relationships.
- Develop strategies for coping.
- Learn to forgive.
- Increase flow experiences.
- Savor life’s joys.
- Commit to your goals.
- Practice spirituality.
- Take care of your body.
If as individuals, we can make many (or any) of these happen consistently, we can increasingly thrive in what can be a complex, uncertain world.
