Happiness is a state of mind we all strive to achieve. Harvard University conducted a study on happiness for over 80 years, entitled "The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Study of Happiness". Here's a summary of six practical tips on how to be happier and more fulfilled.

1. Strengthen your social relations

According to the study, social relationships are crucial to happiness. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people for a happy, fulfilled life. Take the time to cultivate friendships and spend time with those closest to you. It's also about team cohesion and harmonious relations with colleagues.

2. Take care of your mental and physical health

Adopt healthy lifestyle habits and take care of your mental and physical health. This means eating a healthy, balanced diet, learning to manage stress, getting enough sleep and regular physical activity. Physical activity has many benefits not only for your physical health, but also for your mental health, thanks to the release of endorphins, the happy hormones. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it's walking, dancing or yoga, and make it part of your routine to feel happier. And if you don't have the time, sport at work is the solution and is ideal for women and men with busy personal and professional lives.

3. Set your goals

Having clear goals and working towards them can give your life meaning and increase your personal satisfaction. It gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment. Make sure your goals are realistic and achievable.

4. Cultivate gratitude

Take time each day to reflect on what you're grateful for. Keeping a gratitude journal can help you focus on the positive aspects of your life.

5. Help others

Volunteering and acts of kindness can increase your happiness. Helping others makes you feel useful and connected to your community, and contributes to your happiness.

6. Take time for yourself

It's important to take time out to relax and do things you enjoy. Whether it's reading, listening to music or spending time in nature, find your hobbies and make them part of your daily routine to make you happier.
