In this episode of the School Your Soul Podcast we’re talking about happiness.
Why do we care about happiness right now in the middle of a pandemic? Happiness expert Marci Shimoff says in difficult times it’s more vital than ever to access our happiness.
Happy People Are Healthier!
Happiness boosts our immune system (you’re 1/3 less likely to get sick!) and if we do get sick it helps us heal more quickly (happy people have 50% more immunoglobulins!). Happy people also live 7-9 years longer. And ultimately if we’re are able to access that sense of peace and wellbeing we are better able to meet the challenges of life with grace and clarity and we are better able to serve the world and people around us.
We Have A Happiness Set Point
Marci says that science has proven we’re each born with a “happiness set point” that varies from person to person and we have the ability to raise that set point with different habits and behaviors. And we talk all about ways to raise our happiness set point in this episode.
