Essential Ingredients to the Good Life?
October 22nd, 2008 by Greg Steward
This came from TimeOnline UK: "Do five simple things a day to stay sane, say scientists."
Connect
Developing relationships with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours will enrich your life and bring you support
Be active
Sports, hobbies such as gardening or dancing, or just a daily stroll will make you feel good and maintain mobility and fitness
Be curious
Noting the beauty of everyday moments as well as the unusual and reflecting on them helps you to appreciate what matters to you
Learn
Fixing a bike, learning an instrument, cooking – the challenge and satisfaction brings fun and confidence
Give
Helping friends and strangers links your happiness to a wider community and is very rewarding
[A curious omission under "connect." Perhaps some connections are more essential than others.]
