If I don’t have time for my hobbies, I make it. I read a good book or watch a fun movie that brings me the joy and laughter. I gather with non-judgmental people who love me just the way I am. The mere act of having a good conversation over a cup of coffee charges me with a high dose of positive energy. She was trying to help me see myself the way she saw me—as someone smart, capable, and full of potential. I wasn’t buying it.

Is there anyone better than your dog? No. You know that, but you may have difficulty convincing the rest of the world. (Cat people, we see you.) These quotes about puppies will help you make your case. “All his life, he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed. For, after all, he was only human. He wasn’t a dog.”— Charles Schulz I sometimes light a candle or some nice smelling incense. (Jasmine is my favorite.) It stimulates my creativity and makes me feel good. Rat racing is all about hunting for happiness, chasing an illusion, and never feeling content. The more we achieve, the more we want: another house, another car, another job, or more money. Happiness So much depends on the owner, which is where my frustration starts, as it’s mostly not the case that my friends don’t like dogs. It’s more that they don’t seem as keen on Betty’s owner, that is to say, the new me – the friend who now has other responsibilities. Who, in other words, isn’t 100 per cent focused on them.

Facial expressions and body odor 

Studies have shown that dogs can catch our yawns, experience an increase in cortisol levels when they hear a baby crying—just as humans do—and respond to the emotional tone of our voices. While interacting with each other or even just looking into each other's eyes, research has found that people and their dogs experience the release of oxytocin, often called the "love hormone" or the "cuddle hormone"—though the hormone’s effects are more complicated than that, given that it can foster trust and generosity in some situations and envy in others.

All of empathy has some component of contagious emotions,” explains Meyers-Manor. “In some ways, recognizing another [creature’s] emotion is more complex cognitively speaking, whereas feeling what another animal feels is simpler.” According to the American Psychological Association, there are two recognised forms of joy: passive and active. ‘Passive joy involves tranquillity and a feeling of contentment with things just as they are. Active joy involves a desire to share one’s feelings with others. Both are associated with an increase in energy and feelings of confidence and self-esteem.’ Research has shown that happiness is 50% connected to our genes, only 10% attributed to life circumstances, and 40 perfect correlated with our thoughts and behaviors. That’s why happiness is not a noun; it’s a verb. For those of us who are mentally healthy, it’s an attitude, a continuous inside job. This interspecies emotional contagion, as psychologists call it, has a psychological, a physiological, and a behavioral basis. In the last few years, multiple studies have shown that the transmission of emotions depends on the release of certain hormones (such as oxytocin), body odor changes in humans, the firing of key neurons in the pooches and their people, and other physiological factors. One day, I was complaining about not having enough days off to escape work and treat myself to a vacation. I was feeling stressed and tired. I can recall my stepfather looking into my eyes with a deep sense of peace and compassion.Happiness is associated with more satisfying romantic relationships as well as stronger friendships. Get physical: Studies show that regular physical activity increases happiness and self-esteem, reduces anxiety and stress, and can even lift symptoms of depression. “Exercise may very well be the most effective instant happiness booster of all activities,” writes Sonja Lyubomirsky in The How of Happiness. When you’re physically healthier, you’ll be able to work better and more effectively. You’ll have more energy for the big project and better endurance for the long-lasting effects of the pandemic on your work and life. Uncertainty about the future and ambiguity about how and when you’ll work tend to generate stress, but physical health helps you mitigate the effects and gives you more resilience to weather ups and the downs.
