But, I see that as a warning signal that it’s time to step back and switch up what I’m doing. So, what is the magic stimulus to feel great instantly?
Interestingly, there is a recent study that took place in the UK. In this study, electromagnetic brain scans and heart-rate monitors generated “mood-boosting values”. To achieve this, the participants were asked to do a number of activities in which the researchers were able to measure how “happy” the activities made them.
Out of all the activities, one stands out consistently and overwhelmingly. In fact, the study proves that it is as stimulating as 2,000 chocolate bars or suddenly receiving $25,000. Although it’s a little hard to believe, the answer is your smile. Isn’t that amazing?
