Happiness in 1 Minute


When and where do you have most of your fun?

Right – with those you care about – family, friends, and people at work.


Science tells us that up to 85% of our happiness is in our relationships.

So, how can you improve your relationships to create more happiness for all?


Here’s 3 QUICK, simple ways to be happier and more connected:

1. Connect: send a 1-min. email.

Let friends, family and people at work know how grateful you are for them.

Science says: this improves happiness by deepening connection with the person.


Example:

Sandi, I was just thinking about you and all the fun we had creating the party for Ed together. I really admire and appreciate how creative you were with the decorations for the break-out room, the cake, and his gift. I know from chatting with others (Julio and Malia for example) that many felt the same way.


Thanks so much for making our first “Post COVID” celebration a success.

Have a great day!


Try this once a week.

Notice feeling more happiness as your relationships improve.


2. Be Here Now: Be present.

Put the phone down, close your computer, listen attentively.

Keep the focus on them - nod, smile, appreciate and encourage the other person.

Let them know they were heard.


Example:

Paraphrasing: “It sounds like you were happy your project was recognized.”

3. Reach out: call, text or Zoom out of town friends and family – often – keep in touch.


Be happier – try one of these 1-minute techniques right now.

Connect with those you care about.

This creates happiness in 1 minute or less.
