The Science Behind Happiness: Simple Steps to Boost Your Well-being

Jan 23, 2024

Life is a journey that everyone aspires to be happy on. Happiness is an essential component of well-being, and the pursuit of happiness has become an overarching desire for many. But have you ever wondered why some people seem to be naturally happier than others? Is happiness something that can be achieved, or is it merely a result of chance circumstances? The good news is that scientists have extensively studied this enigmatic emotion and uncovered various strategies that can significantly increase our overall well-being.

Contrary to popular belief, happiness is not solely dependent on external factors such as wealth or success. While these aspects may contribute to fleeting moments of joy, long-lasting happiness stems from our mindset, habits, and interactions with others. Several scientific studies have shown that we have a remarkable ability to influence our own happiness.

One of the key findings in the science of happiness is the influence of genetics on our disposition to happiness. Researchers suggest that approximately 50% of our happiness levels are determined by our genes. However, the remaining 50% is within our control and can be influenced by intentional actions and practices.

Engaging in activities that promote positive emotions is one effective way to improve our well-being. Gratitude, for example, has been proven to enhance happiness. By expressing gratitude for the things we have and the people in our lives, we shift our focus from what may be lacking to what brings us joy. Engage in daily gratitude journaling or make it a habit to express appreciation to others regularly to experience noticeable shifts in happiness levels.

Developing and maintaining strong social connections is another crucial factor for happiness. Humans are social beings, and studies consistently show that having fulfilling relationships is directly linked to happiness. Invest time and effort in building and nurturing meaningful connections with family, friends, and even your local community. Remember that quality matters more than quantity – having a few close, supportive relationships is more fulfilling than a large social network with superficial ties.

Contrary to popular belief, material possessions and external achievements do not guarantee long-term happiness. Instead, focusing on experiences rather than things has been found to significantly increase life satisfaction. Investing in experiences such as traveling, learning a new skill, or participating in hobbies can bring lasting joy and a sense of fulfillment.

Cultivating a sense of purpose and meaning in life is also closely tied to happiness. Identify your values, passions, and strengths, and find ways to align your actions with these aspects of your life. Engage in activities and contribute to causes that resonate with you, and you will experience a profound sense of fulfillment and purpose which, in turn, enhances overall well-being.

In conclusion, happiness is not an elusive concept reserved for a select few. By understanding the science behind happiness and implementing simple strategies, we can increase our overall well-being and lead more fulfilled and joyful lives. Embrace gratitude, foster connections, prioritize experiences, and find purpose, and you will unlock the true potential of happiness within yourself. Remember, it’s not only about seeking happiness but also about creating it daily.

My husband suffers from severe leg cramps. And not restless leg syndrome. I stoped to talk to Nikki at HOPE LIVES! I was tell her about my husbands horrible leg cramps. She asked me if he would use PROPER CANNA NATURALS? The one Ms. Nikki suggested was a cream the name is Rocky Mountain chill. It’s a muscle gel. I brought it home he looked at it two or three days tried it and almost instantly it took his cramps away. He spent two days with no leg cramps whatsoever using that cream. We ran out of the sample I have ordered the big bottle and I can’t wait for it to get here. It was hard to imagine that some thing all natural could do what it did for him and he feel better and get sleep. Not only him but me because he was not up and down all night . Thank you Nikki for the recommendation. It’s the best. I will be looking into their other products. Sincerely Mikie

I love my monthly subscription to Proper Canna Naturals! The soft gels are part of my daily routine and the Rocky Mountain Chill feels good on a sore back. All of their products are made with Organic Colorado hemp and lots of love 🥰

I recently switched from another big box brand of CBD oil to Proper Canna. Within a few weeks I knew I had made a really great decision. My back use to hurt every day of the week. I have about 1-2 days a month after heavy exercise now that I will get moderate pain. The customer service is stellar and the product ships to your home very quickly. I love the packaging and supporting a small business, all while feeling better inside and out. I do have to rave about the Rocky Mountain Chill Gel. It can kick a headache is 10 minutes! My husband and I both absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Proper Canna to anyone

I stopped by this last Friday to try one of their CBD tinctures. Justin was AMAZING! We talked about the different products, and I ended up getting a bundle with the Rocky Mountain Freeze lotion. WOW I am very impressed with the quality of both. Better then other brands I have tried! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Support Fort Collins local!

Tried a few of their products, and am really impressed at the quality! The dreamsicle tincture has really helped my sleep quality, which helps with my overall wellness. Met the owner, Dan, and such a stand up guy too! You can tell he is so passionate about his products, and after trying them myself, I can see why! Would highly recommend Proper Canna Naturals!!

As an avid proponent of grass roots businesses that do it right. Not only have I tried most of the products Proper Canna produces but I have incorporated most of their products into my lifestyle, permanently. The muscle gel has come through for me when my body aches after an intense yoga session or a long bike ride and if I’m cramping. The tincture supports my overall well being and keeps me focused and on point.

I use the cooling muscle gel and love it! As a triathlete there are days that every inch of my body aches and the cooling muscle gel helps tremendously with recovery. I’ve tried other products and this is by far the best!
