Researchers have found what they believe what makes us happy and it’s all about relationships and less about things. Here are a few ways that you can be happier today:

  •  Buy something for someone else - Researchers found that when individuals were given $20 and asked to spend it on themselves or someone else, participants were happier when they bought something for another person.
  • Be thankful - Appreciating what you have makes you happy.
  • Plan a trip - “Anticipating a trip makes you happier than actually taking the trip.
  • Go with the flow - Keeping track of those times where you feel the most in the moment can help you foster more of them in your life.
