HOW HAPPY ARE YOU?
Both the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience are revealing quite interesting facts and insights about happiness. Extensive scientific studies have been conducted for the past decade providing us a better understanding of what makes people happy. Some of the findings suggest that happiness is attainable and it is a skill that can be cultivated by incorporating positive habits and practices that bring more joy into our lives and the lives of others.
Some studies suggest that 50% of our overall happiness level is genetic, and 10% is determined by external circumstances such as wealth, social status, career, friends… while the remaining 40% is determined by our choices, thoughts, feelings, words and actions. So actually we all have the power to become happier if we put our mind into reprogramming the 40% to attain a higher level of peace and well-being and this can be achievable by changing our thinking and behaviors. Hence, it is possible to train our brains to become happier.
