According to a think tank, a "five-a-day" program can improve your mental well-being, just like eating fruit and veggies enhances your physical health.
There are five basic things to encourage behavior that will make you feel better about yourself. More than 400 scientists helped compile this report to create the list of things you can do to make yourself happier. The five steps to happiness are:
1. Connect. Develope relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors to enrich your life and bring you support.
2. Be active. Sports, hobbies like gardening or dancing, or just a daily walk will make you feel good and maintain mobility and fitness.
3. Be curious. Note the beauty of everyday moments as well as the unusual, and reflect on them to help you appreciate what matters to you.
4. Learn. Fix a bike, learn an instrument, take cooking lessons, etc. The challenge and satisfaction of learning brings fun and confidence.
5. Give. Helping friends and strangers links your happiness to the community and is very rewarding.
