This picture just makes me happy, world's cutest monkey, and monkeys are already really cute. Here is an article I read by Kate Bratskeir on 10 things that are proven by science to make us happier:
1- Happy people surround themselves with other happy people. People are 4 times more likely to be happy in the future with happy people around them.
2- Happy people try to be happy. When happy people don't feel happy, they cultivate a happy thought and smile about it.
3- Happy people spend money more on others than on themselves. Givers experience what scientists call the "helper's high."
4- Happy people have deep in-person conversations.
5- Happy people use laughter as a medicine. A study showed that children laugh 300 times a day versus adults who laugh 15 times a day.
6- Happy people use the power of music. Researchers found that music can match the anxiety-reducing effects of massage therapy.
7- Happy people exercise and eat a healthful diet. Eating a poor diet can contribute to depression.
8- Happy people take the time to unplug and go outside. Uninterrupted screen time brings on depression and anxiety.
9- Happy people get enough sleep. When people run low on sleep, they are prone to feel a lack of clarity, bad moods, and poor judgement.
10- Happy people are spiritual.
