Four Rituals that Will Make You Happy

From "New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy", Eric Barker
May 19, 2017

1. The Most Important Question To Ask When You Feel Down: What am I grateful for?

2. Identify my emotions. Suppressing emotions doesn’t work and can backfire on you. But labeling, on the other hand, makes a big difference.

4. Touch People. Touching someone you love actually reduces pain.
