10 Habits Proven to Make You Happier

PsyBlog reports a new survey of 5,000 people which has found a strong link between self-acceptance and happiness, despite the fact that it’s a habit not frequently practised.

The survey identified ten everyday habits which science has shown can make people happier. Here they are;

Giving: do things for others
Relating: connect with people
Exercising: take care of your body
Appreciating: notice the world around
Trying out: keep learning new things
Direction: have goals to look forward to
Resilience: find ways to bounce back
Emotion: take a positive approach
Acceptance: be comfortable with who you are
Meaning: be part of something bigger

(You’ll notice that the first letters spell out the words GREAT DREAM.)
