Why #humans are surprisingly bad at being #happy

Your #brain isn’t wired for #happiness — but you can change that, explains #Yale #scientist Laurie Santos.
To anyone who needs to hear it: QUITTING IS NOT FAILURE. It's a healthy choice. And I say this as someone who definitely ought to have quit their PhD, rather than forging ahead and acquiring a generally poor state of mental health that has taken 10 years of work to improve.
If it's not working for you, if you're unhappy, call it a day, do something else that brings you a better balance. #quit #quitting #mentalhealth #career #happiness

By sprinkling 'Joy Snacks' throughout our day, we're hacking our happiness set point, creating more 'positivity resonance' (or shared moments of positive connection) and increasing our resilience to stress.

I have a #dream of #social #justice in #America that can be balanced with a spirit of business #entrepreneurship, fair #competition, personal #development and professional #growth. #Communism is a #utopia, wild #capitalism without limits is the path to #despotism and #monopolism. #Human, its #rights and #freedom, its #health and well-being, its #prosperity and #happiness shall be the main value. Therefore, the #goverment and #society must fight for them. Public social order must be fair for all!

“Let The Photos Speak For Themselves” they said…. 😍😍
(Follwers encouraged to add descriptions 🥰 - I am just too speechless …)
@thatfrisiangirlish
EDIT:
Yes, all amazing things must come to an end - but not forever; just the first chapter.
Image descriptions:
First photo:
Two lovely enbies, finally meeting irl for the first time, having spent half the day walking through the beautiful park, through the not-do-beautiful city, having had a few nice drinks, decide to take a selfie.
They decide to choose the ugliest background possible but you can’t see it on the photo because it radiates so much love that all ugliness just disappears.
The first one on the left has some over-ear headphones around their neck, oval shaped sunglasses and their hair is covered under something. They smile a very bright, warm smile - as wide as they can and they just look extremely happy. Is it just the moment or is it more? One can not say. But they have their head slightly tilted onto the shoulder of the second enby on the right.
That enby with curly hair with lots of blue and green strands look to the first enby. Their face is turned to the first enby and their smile is full of love and astonishment - astonishment at the chance life gave them to finally meet this other wonderful love.
The second enby wears a top with lace tips, a turquoise scarf with patterns on that match their lovely strands and a black coat.
It seems that both them really love each other…
Second photo:
This time the second enby looks straight into the camera and has a very, very bright and wide laugh. They both don’t smile anymore; instead they laugh - from ear to ear - so happy, so beautiful, so full of love for each other.

Walking on roads through the open forestry land near us means solitude. I rarely meet a soul. The dog and I have the place to ourselves. No sheep or cattle here and so Brodie can be off the lead. Freedom to roam means peace and quiet. We did see a Roe Deer yesterday. He stood quietly staring at us. I took a photograph before he leapt into the trees and was gone. A moment of complete happiness.

Today marks the 1st day in my "outdoor office" this year. Gorgeous weather. I couldn't resist. Does make seeing the screen slightly more challenging, though. Don't be fooled by the sunshine. I'm wrestling something dark & disturbing onto the page today. 🖤

Its been two months since I joined @Mastodon and this is my 500th post. For me this is the first time on any kind of social medium. Its a nice place to hang around, without much toxicity, without the rat race for likes boosts and gaining followers. Will like to thank the entire community of #fediverse , all the intsance admins, all the app makers, all my friends followers and readers. Let's continue this beautiful journey and keep this place sane, safe and happy! #milestone #happiness

Color theory, in general, fascinates me. Have you ever considered the subliminal effects of color on mood? What you wear, the color of your bedroom or even the colors of the food you eat all contribute to your environment.

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”

Today's cup of tea isn't a cup of tea. It is a Choc Norris smoothie of Greatness to celebrate my partner in crime, @TonyJohnson finishing his first #sff novel, which is a crackling #ianbanks style bit of awesomeness. It's been 2 years of being locked out of Australia during the pandemic, pinballing between 7 countries, much stress, laughter and daftness and now relief! Let the next chapter begin! Sometimes this whole #writing gig hands you little moments of awesome like this. Chocolate smoothie awesome.
I just re-discovered this beautiful piece of video-art that I have to share!Anyone remember Matt from Where the Heck is Matt?This is his 2012 video & I just bawled my eyes out.People from all over the world come together for a moment to connect through "dance",but this video is so much more!It's a reminder of happiness,of connected-ness of..hope

I want to reply to this, because I have been known to suggest people leave #Twitter
I'm not here to be anyone's conscience. However, if you're trying to bend my ear on #Discord, at an in-person event, or wherever just how awful Twitter is becoming and how you still need to stay on it - maybe you don't.
At some point, the pain is no longer worth it. Where this is will vary from person to person. I always say, if you're bitching to me, maybe you've reached that point.
The other half of this is, if we're having this conversation, I will offer to help you. Whether you want to try Discord or Mastodon, or anything I know anything about. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to figure everything out.
If you're happier with your #SocialMedia choices, you're happier overall and more fun to hang out with. And that's what I get out of it.
When I used to be an active #Boardgame player, I would help my opponents in non-cooperative games because if I win, I want to have done so against your best effort. This is in the same spirit.
A happier world is a better world and we get there by helping each other find #Happiness.
This is a bit of an introduction. I am an educator in the East Bay. I am interested in #news #weather, #dogs, #cats, #jazz, #art, #poetry, #classicalmusic, #architecture, #archeology, the #bayarea the #eastbay, #travel, and #happiness.
A surprising number of people think happiness means never working again and "taking a vacation" for the rest of your life. I have several friends who dream of the day when they can fully retire.
Let me tell ya, that gets really boring, really fast.
Been there. Did that.
Part of me felt like I didn’t enjoy working anymore. Maybe I hated work? Maybe I just didn’t want to work hard on anything at all.
I was wrong.

With reference to the Blackfoot Nation and Maslow, here is my evolutionary pyramid to #Happiness.
The betterment of the tribe
Machine sense of safety
Being in the tribe
Animal satisfaction
Animal sense of safety
Conservation of energy
Preservation of genetic self
The key to happiness itself is to please the animal, so smell your fresh coffee, dance and find your tribe. The top two are machine and so are not needed for happiness but can increase it.

Our cultural norms and expectations for #beauty and #aging and #happiness are often at odds. In my Age Wise newsletter this week, I point out an example.
The 44-year-old actress Jennifer Love Hewitt posted what appears to be a somewhat or perhaps entirely makeup-free selfie on Instagram and said, in part:
“I am deeply grateful, blessed, happy, sometimes insecure about aging...”
That's so sad! Aging is awesome, if you let it be. That's my take anyway. More:

Someone posted a nice review of my #sleep book on Amazon, which promises greater #health, #happiness and #productivity. Said that it has "so many interesting facts" and that my "easy-going style made it a real pleasure to read."
I'm tickled. Lots of things are important for a non-fiction health/science book, like facts and thoroughness and straightforwardness and usefulness.
But if I've done those things AND crafted something that’s a pleasure to read, well, I'll sleep well tonight. :)
