Happiness includes feelings of joy and pleasure, a sense of meaning and purpose in life, and life satisfaction. Here are seven ways to increase happiness in your life:

Connect with people you love. This could be a phone call, a text, or FaceTime if connecting in person isn’t an option.

Get started with it fully. Research by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly shows that people experience the greatest satisfaction when they are fully absorbed and focused on what they are doing.

Smile more. Studies shows that the more you laugh, the healthier you are. Intentionally surround yourself with whoever and whatever makes you laugh, whether that’s friends and family or funny cat videos on the internet.
