It’s True – Happy People Live Longer and Have Less Disease!
If you want to live longer, you just need to be happy! (That’s something to smile about!).
There’s quite a lot of research that shows that happier, more optimistic people live longer. And let’s face it, that’s a much nicer, friendlier, easier concept than being told to eat healthy food and get lots of exercise! (Yes, of course, good food and exercise are hugely important, but they do sound just a little bit boring compared to being happy). 🙂
If you want to live longer, you’ll probably also want to know how to look great at the same time – so check out my 15 all-natural, eco-friendly tips for better aging below.
Then read the rest of this post for more tips on living longer by being happy.
How to Be Happy
The easiest way to be happy is to be content with what you have in life. This is a very eco-friendly concept.
- Whatever you have is probably enough, you don’t need more “stuff”. And it doesn’t make you happier (except for a brief moment).
- You probably have people who love you and care about you – and that’s priceless.
There’s always something positive no matter what your life is like. Appreciate what you have and the people around you. Don’t focus on what you don’t have and the people who don’t have your best interests at heart.
Learning how to focus is the key to satisfaction. If your focus is always on the negative things in life, then not only will you become more negative, but the emotions from that will lead to stress. And stress leads to disease.
Think about it. Most bad situations don’t last forever. That means there’s good headed your way.
You can’t choose the events that come into your life. But what you can choose is how you let them affect you.
Happy people live longer because they’ve learned that the key to contentment is found within themselves.
How You Look at Things, Matters
Change how you look at things. If you didn’t get the job you wanted, there might be an even better one down the road. It’s not good if your car breaks down – but perhaps that breakdown prevented you from being in an accident if you had continued driving.
I’m NOT saying you should put a fake spin on things. Simply choose to turn a negative into a positive.
Yes, even happy people will experience failure and make mistakes. But they don’t let these issues define them. You’ll live longer if you don’t let people or circumstances define your happiness.
Happy people live longer by not giving control of their emotional well-being over to another. It’s true that others can disappoint you – but that doesn’t mean that they can steal your happiness. Unless you allow them to.
