10 happy proposals of the former British Prime Minister's policy consultant, a happy economist

Are you still thinking about the Mid -Autumn Holiday? After two weeks, it was a small holiday in the National Day. How much can I cure my life on vacation? The hot summer seems to be "imprinted", and 2022 has passed.

Perhaps the answer will appear thin if you simply ask how this year is. We magnified their perspectives, just like the British "Chief Happy Economist" Laiad, and asked happiness to happiness:

What kind of lifestyle and political system is reasonable? What is worth surviving? If happiness is not a political issue, what is the use of politics?

No matter where you are, these questions from Laiad point out the minds of our personal and society. As a former British Prime Minister Blair's policy consultant, based on the discovery research of positive psychology, he provided us with 10 keys to the door of happiness in the book "Happy Society". Maybe they are all expected, but they also recognize the reality of most people.

Note: The first five elements are related to our interactive mode in daily life. The latter five elements are related to our internal, depending on our attitude towards life.

01

Give -care and help others

Caring for others is the basic element of happiness. Helping others is not only beneficial to the help of help, it is a good thing, it will also make us happier and healthy. Not only that, giving people more closely linked people, thereby promoting the formation of a happy society.

Giving is not limited to material, it can be time, thought and energy. So, if you want to feel good, do good things!

02

Contact — Keeping with others

Interpersonal relationships are the most important influencing factor in happiness. People with strong and extensive social relationships are generally healthy, happy and longevity. The intimate contact with our family and friends makes us feel love and support, making us feel that we are valuable, and life is meaningful.

In addition, we have a wider social relationship (such as work relationships) outside loved ones and friends. Therefore, for happiness, strengthen and expand your interpersonal relationship!

03

Exercise — Cultivation of your body

The body is connected. Exercise not only makes us healthy, but also makes us happier. Exercise can immediately improve our emotions and even bring us out of depression. Of course, this is not to say that each of us should go to the marathon. In fact, there are many simple ways of exercise.

In fact, if we can temporarily put down modern technology (such as mobile phones, computers) to take a walk outside and maintain adequate sleep, our physical and mental health can increase a lot.

04

Appreciation -Follow the world around

Do you feel that life should not be so boring, but should be more colorful? In fact, the life in front of us is colorful. What we need to do is to stop the hurried steps and taste the life in front of us.

Learn to taste life more carefully (such as on the way we go to work, when eating, and in interpersonal relationships) to bring us unexpected surprises. Focusing and investing at this moment makes us no longer entangle the past or worry about the future. In this way, we can enjoy the greatest gain every day.

05

Try — Stick to learning new things

Learning has a positive impact on our happiness. It allows us to contact new ideas and help us maintain curiosity and participation. It will also bring us a sense of accomplishment and enhance our self -confidence and psychological elasticity.

There are many ways to learn new things, and you don't have to train through school or formal training. We can learn some skills from friends, you can join some clubs, you can learn to sing a song, touch a new movement, and so on.

06

Objective -Possess the goal

It also has an important impact on whether there is a good expectation in the future. Everyone needs a goal to motivate themselves. Good goals should have a certain challenge, and at the same time, it is what they can. Try to pursue those far -reaching goals will bring us unnecessary pressure.

There is a certain ambition and realistic goal not only to indicate the direction of our lives, but when the goals are achieved, we can also gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

07

Restoration Power -The ability to recover self -recovery

Everyone always experiences more or less stress, loss, frustration and failure. But in the face of these adversity, different coping methods will bring completely different results.

We usually cannot avoid adversity, but we can choose to treat it. Although it is usually not so easy to do, it is gratifying that the latest research shows that recovery power can also be learned.

08

Emotion -Choose a positive and optimistic mentality

Positive emotions (such as joy, gratitude, satisfaction, inspiration and pride) were not just great at the time. The latest research found that often experiencing such positive emotions will promote a virtuous cycle and conducive to the storage of psychological resources.

Therefore, although we need to face the ups and downs of life realistic, pay more attention to the good aspect of things.

09

Acceptance -accept yourself

nobody is perfect. However, we often compare our weaknesses with the strengths of others. If you are always entangled in your own shortcomings and that you have not owned what you have, it is difficult to get happiness.

Learn to accept all of yourself, be nice to yourself, enjoy life, increase your recovery and happiness.Similarly, we should also learn to accept others.10

Meaning -beyond self

People who have a meaningful life are usually happier, more controllable, and more gains.And, they have less stress, anxiety and depression.But what is "meaningful"?

Some people think they are religious beliefs, and some people think they are parents or a job.Although the answer varies from person to person, the common thing is that they are all in a thing that transcend themselves.
