Happiness is catching

 According to Prof Richard Wiseman (University of Hertfordshire) ‘Happiness is catching’. By making a few small changes to your behaviour you can not only improve your own state of mind but help others to be happier too. I’m going to try and follow his advice;

  • Starting the day by thinking about the things that made you happy from the previous day
  • Remembering to smile whilst carrying out everyday tasks such as making a cup of tea
  • Carrying out small acts of kindness, such as paying someone a compliment or holding the door open for someone
  • Expressing gratitude for the lucky aspects of your life, for example being in good health
