The following is a list of features that promote happiness.
Work: Having a job that fulfils you is ideal. A job that doesn't make you miserable is a must.
Play: Leisure time, having fun,
letting loose--they're all-important for your happiness and stress levels. You
don't need to play all of the time, but you really need some time for fun in
your life.
Learning: Taking on new skills and growing
as a person involves gratifications, and can provide you with greater resources
in your life--both great for stress and happiness.
Creativity: The same is true for
expressing your creativity. In fact, art activities that exercise creativity
have been shown to be good for the health and happiness of those who consider
themselves to be non-creative types as well.
Helping: It turns out that we as humans
really love to be helpful to others, to one degree or another. Finding ways to
exercise your altruism can keep you happy and less stressed.
Love: This is a bit of a no-brainer,
but having love in your life is great for keeping yourself feeling joy.
Friends: Maintaining a supportive circle,
even if that circle is small, can help you to feel happier in virtually every
area of life and can provide an excellent buffer against stress.
