Hello Followers,

Welcome to Thursday,

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life, to be happy, it is all that matters.

Today Dan and I will continue the series of the science of happiness.

What is a happiness set point?

Every individual is born with a particular happiness set point or a baseline level of happiness,

After experiencing triumphs or tragedies, people adapt to their new circumstances and their emotions generally return to this genetically determined level of well-being.

And can you change your set point?

Commitment to compassion and kindness may help reset your happiness set point, as the trait most connected to long-term increases in life satisfaction.

Helping others leads a person to be happier, perhaps due to higher self-esteem, a sense of self-worth, or a deeper sense of purpose, feeling that lives are important.

Tomorrow, how to find happiness.

Now and then it is good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
