Happiness is a Habit!

Are you looking to boost your happiness? You might be interested in the latest research on personality traits and well-being. Psychologists have found that two traits in particular are key to feeling happy: enthusiasm and low levels of neuroticism.
Enthusiasm is defined as being friendly and sociable—“leaning into” life. People who are high in enthusiasm tend to have more positive emotions and feel happier overall. On the other hand, neuroticism is characterized by negative emotions such as anxiety and sadness. People who are low in neuroticism tend to be more emotionally stable and resilient.
But what if you're not naturally high in enthusiasm or low in neuroticism?

Develop habits that can increase your enthusiasm and reduce your neuroticism, leading to greater happiness.Fake enthusiasm in social situations, even if you're not feeling it initially. By acting as if you're enthusiastic, you can start to form new cognitive habits that gradually become more automatic.
