Top 1 in Top 10 Surprising Lifelong Happiness Tips.
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, give yourself something to look forward to, according to a study published in the journal applied research and quality of life. Researchers observed that individuals are happiest when they are preparing a special event, so perhaps you and your friends are planning a week-long road trip throughout the nation, or you and your spouse want to jet away to another country, or whatever fantasy holiday you have in mind. Don't be scared to plan your trip months or even years ahead of time because the planning phase is the most enjoyable. Vacations and getaways may be peaceful, energizing, and exciting, but the most enjoyable aspect of any trip is organizing your schedule. You fantasize about the locations you'll see and the experiences you'll have; your mind wanders as if you're already on vacation; sometimes the preparation process is more enjoyable than the actual trip. So, the next time you're caught in a rut, plan a vacation, schedule a road trip, or think about the locations you'd like to visit. These unique events, no matter what you have in mind, will offer you something to look forward to.
