– Leo Tolstoy

Ever thought about what really makes people happy? Like, actually happy—not just for a five minutes, but lasting ones

You may think of money, fame, or an iphone 16. but science says otherwise. LET'S FIND OUT SHALL WE?

According to science, what really makes us happy are the easy, human things—like friendships, thanks, kindness, and sleep.

Think about it: friends and folks you can laugh with are a huge part of how happy you are. Spending time with friends or family, just hanging around, can really pick up your mood and mental well-being. Another behemoth one? Appreciation. Tuning in and enjoying little moments—such as a tasty snack, a pleasant sunset, or an unexpected relief from class—is actually teaching your brain to be more aware of good things.

Even just getting your body moving, like dancing in your bedroom or taking a fast walk, releases happy chemicals that can really help. Doing something for another person, even little things, can also brighten your own mood. And don't forget to sleep—it's like a brain reset button, leaving you feeling more upbeat, focused, and less stressed.

So what's the secret to happiness? Not having it all or being perfect. It's the real connections, movement, kindness, rest, and enjoying the little things that make life feel good.

KEEP SMILING!!
