Researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What makes us happy? For some it’s money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits that affect our well-being.
However, the emerging field of positive psychology is bursting with new findings that suggest your actions can have a significant effect on your happiness and satisfaction with life. Good or bad, happy or sad, we all have to live with the decisions that we make.
Recently in a letter I received from one of my loyal Ceo bloggers and listeners they stated:
Dear Ms. Bell,
What makes us happy? My girlfriend seems to think that she can only be happy unless she’s in a relationship, outside of that nothing else matters to her. And she’s constantly comparing herself to other woman regarding looks, accomplishments and success. Until I asked her one day: what would truly make you happy? She couldn’t answer me.
Because we BOTH love your online show, please, please address this as a “Conversations Of A Sistah” show topic. Thank you I will await the subject.
Per request, join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss and ask the question: “What would make you happy?” I will also share the top ten (10) things scientist say will make you happy. 🙂
All “Conversations Links” in this post make it possible to access the show!
In the meantime, sound off here and I’ll see you on the air!
