I estimate that some 280 advertising impressions rinse over our psyches every day, encouraging us to eat food that\u2019s not good for us and buy things we don\u2019t need. Pop psychology techniques tell us to savor life, keep an appreciation journal, and so on. Some of these are good ideas but for most of us, they are all diets \u2014 we don\u2019t do them enough to make a difference.<\/p><p class=\"\">What we distilled from our research was how to actually stack your personal deck of cards in favor of happiness. Here are the aces:<\/p><ul data-rte-list=\"default\"><li><p class=\"\">Health<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\">Home<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\">Social<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"\">Work<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"\"><strong>Health<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"\">He says if want to be happier you have to focus on reshaping your environment to create health. Health brings happiness, Period! You can\u2019t have anything you really want if your health goes to hell.<\/p><p class=\"\"><strong>Home<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"\">There are certain elements to your home that can favor happiness in your environment. \u00a0Make sure your home has plenty of light and green plants as well. Dogs favor happiness for so many reasons, unconditional love is at the top of that list. Make your bedroom an easy and conductive place to sleep. On sleep for eight or more hours every night! You can check out one of my articles on sleep for more details on that. The best music for happiness is Mozart. And make sure that you have an outdoor environment, like a front porch (which is more social) is considered the best choice.<\/p><p class=\"\"><strong>Social<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"\">In this environment of social media and working from home, it might shock you that research shows you need six to seven days of face to face time with people. \u00a0This allows you to spontaneously connect with people.<\/p><p class=\"\">Finding three to five friends that you can have meaningful conversations with is the game changer in your favor. \u00a0Finding friends with happy and positive outlooks makes a difference. Unhappiness is contagious too, so don\u2019t hang out with unhappy people as it can affect your mood too.<\/p><p class=\"\"><strong>Work<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"\">Once you are making enough money to address your basic needs, money doesn\u2019t have an impact on happiness. I\u2019m sure that is a surprise to some \u2013 BUT it is true! So at work find a best friend at the office to increase your social time and support.<\/p><p class=\"\"><br \/>Health, home, social and work pretty much cover all of the basic areas of daily life. \u00a0For the record, Dan put health as the first category, I think because it is the most important. \u00a0If you don\u2019t have the energy you want, you need to make a change to your health. If you feel pain weekly or daily, if you are over weight or unhappy, you have to get your health back on track.<\/p><p class=\"\">Are you ready to reshape you happiness?
