Here is another brilliant reason why we should try to be happy no matter what. According to the new study that was published in The Bmj:
"Your happiness can spread throughout your social sphere and your cheer can lift the spirits of your friends, your friends' friends, and even your friends' friends' friends. Researchers used data from the two-decade-strong Framingham Heart Study, an on-going study that tracks the health and well-being of more than 5,000 Americans, and they found that one person's cheer can spread up to three degrees in a social network. Smile, and the world really does smile with you, kind of!"
I like the logic of spreading the cheer and paying it forward. You? Now, go on and spread some happiness:) xo
P.S: Bed making = happiness.
P.P.S: Plus, a little wisdom to a happier you.
