Path to true happiness

The following extract is from bbc.com


Experts believe they have found the essential ingredients to make a person's life happier. In an unusual three-month experiment, six specialists from a variety of disciplines worked to improve the happiness levels of a typical UK town.
The experts tried and tested 10 simple measures in the
quest for happiness.

The 10 steps to happiness

  1. Plant something and nurture it
  2. Count your blessings - at least five - at the end of each day
  3. Take time to talk - have an hour-long conversation with a loved one each
    week
  4. Phone a friend whom you have not spoken to for a while and arrange to meet up
  5. Give yourself a treat every day and take the time to really enjoy it
  6. Have a good laugh at least once a day
  7. Get physical - exercise for half an hour three times a week
  8. Smile at and/or say hello to a stranger at least once each day
  9. Cut your TV viewing by half
  10. Spread some kindness - do a good turn for someone every day. "

I totally agree with the 10 steps mentioned by the researchers but if only it is so simple in reality. It is never easy to let go of the materialistic wants and desires that's instilled in us since young. Time to revise my post A level things-to-do list a little.
