(Actually, there\u2019s research that says you do.) Being in nature reduces stress, makes you more creative, improves your memory and may even make you a better person.<br \/>\n<strong>2) Exercise<\/strong><br \/>\nWe all know how important this is, but few people do it consistently. Other than health benefits too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, increases libido and makes you feel better about your body. A Harvard study that has tracked a group of men for more than 70 years identified it as one of the secrets to a good life.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\/collections\/personalized-plans-certifications\/products\/dolce-diet-personalized-my-diet-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-16777\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/custom-diet-plan-Dolce-Diet-440x440.jpg\" alt=\"custom-diet-plan-Dolce-Diet\" width=\"340\" height=\"340\"><\/a><strong>3) Spend time with friends and family<\/strong><br \/>\nHarvard happiness expert Daniel Gilbert identified this as one of the biggest sources of happiness in our lives. Relationships are worth more than you think (approximately an extra $131,232 a year.) Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke and diabetes. The longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement and good relationships are more important to a long life than even exercise. Friends are key to improving your life. Share good news and enthusiastically respond when others share good news with you to improve your relationships. Want to instantly be happier? Do something kind for them.<br \/>\n<strong>4) Express gratitude<\/strong><br \/>\nIt will make you happier.<br \/>\nIt will improve your relationships.<br \/>\nIt can make you a better person.<br \/>\nIt can make life better for everyone around you.<br \/>\n<strong>5) Meditate<\/strong><br \/>\nMeditation can increase happiness, meaning in life, social support and attention span while reducing anger, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Along similar lines, prayer can make you feel better \u2014 even if you\u2019re not religious.<br \/>\n<strong>6) Get enough sleep<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can\u2019t cheat yourself on sleep and not have it affect you. Being tired actually makes it harder to be happy. Lack of sleep = more likely to get sick. \u201cSleeping on it\u201d does improve decision making. Lack of sleep can make you more likely to behave unethically. There is such a thing as beauty sleep. Naps are great too. Naps increase alertness and performance on the job,enhance learning ability and purge negative emotions while enhancing positive ones.<br \/>\n<strong>7) Challenge yourself<\/strong><br \/>\nLearning another language can keep your mind sharp. Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it\u2019s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.<br \/>\n<strong>8) Laugh<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople who use humor to cope with stress have better immune systems, reduced risk of heart attack and stroke, experience less pain during dental work and live longer. Laughter should be like a daily vitamin. Just reminiscing about funny moments can improve your relationship. Humor has many benefits.<br \/>\n<strong>9) Touch someone<\/strong><br \/>\nTouching can reduce stress, improve team performance, and help you be persuasive. Hugs make you happier. Sex may help prevent heart attacks and cancer, improve your immune system and extend your life.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n10) Be optimistic<\/strong><br \/>\nOptimism can make you healthier, happier and extend your life. The Army teaches it in order to increase mental toughness in soldiers. Being overconfident improves performance.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bakadesuyo.com\/\">Barking Up the Wrong Tree.<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15477\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg\" alt=\"blog-divider-line\" width=\"620\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg 620w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line-300x29.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\/collections\/personalized-plans-certifications\/products\/dolce-diet-custom-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17058\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800.png\" alt=\"dolce-diet-1-on-1-consult-800\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800.png 800w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Things You Should Do Every Day To Improve Your Life 1) Get out in nature You probably seriously underestimate how important this is.
