In this edition of Great Health GuideTM there is an outstanding article written by one of our regular authors. It is titled Why the Future Belongs to the Happy. It explores ways to sustain happiness and how happiness affects your life in many and various ways.

But what is happiness exactly? Definitions vary but we believe that happiness is a range of pleasant emotions that can be described as joy, excitement, contentment and satisfaction.

Is happiness like a beautiful butterfly that flits up and down before landing for just a fleeting moment on a stunning flower? If happiness can be so fleeting then how can we sustain the happy moment? If we add together many happy moments will this sustain happiness? These questions have been pondered by many people over many centuries.

GHG author, Dr Jenny Brockis writes, “Sustainable happiness starts by seeking out more positive emotion… seeking out more positive moments will lead to more positive consequences and sets up a positive feedback loop.”

“Experiencing more positive emotions leads to sustainable happinessandhasapowerfuleffectonyourhealthandwellbeing.”

Some of these effects on your health include longer life, improved immune system, recovering from stress more rapidly, lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of depression. Simple practices to build happiness into your life can include remembering past happiness, doing things that you love, being grateful for your life and those you love, knowing that you are loved, giving generously to others and showing kindness.

One good reason to be cheerful is that happiness makes you healthier. Enjoy your life, be happy, helpful and filled with hope. Until next time
