According to Indiana University Media School, watching cute or funny cat videos can give us a medically-significant dose of positivity. The study looked at 7,000 people, and after watching even a couple minutes of cute cats, they were a lot less stressed, happier, and more content.

Take a brisk morning walk! Researchers at George Mason University say exercise releases feel-good hormones, triggering a mood boost that can last up to 48 hours. Plus, starting the day on a high note creates a so-called “cascade of positivity” – where one good thing leads to another. It increases the likelihood you’ll get more done, have positive interactions with others, and have less impact from negative events. And the longer you work out, and the more social you make it – like walking with a friend – the happier you’ll feel.

You’ll be happier! That’s from a study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry of over 15-hundred people, ages 12 to 99. It found the older the person, the happier they were. And that’s despite having more aches, pains, and illness. Meanwhile, 20 and 30-year-olds had the highest levels of anxiety and stress, and the lowest levels of happiness and wellbeing. So forget about stereotypical “grumpy old men” and women. This study found that happiness peaks in old age. The reason? Because the older you get, the more you know you can handle whatever life throws your way.

Get out in the world and TALK to people! Researchers at the University of Arizona found the happiest people spent 25% less time alone, and a whopping 70% more time engaged in face-to-face conversations. That’s because heartfelt conversations help us connect with our emotions, which creates closer bonds with others and triggers a boost in our health and happiness.

When you get stressed out, sniff an orange. The scent of oranges activates the same brain nerves that antidepressants and hormones do. Which can help us feel happier and less anxious in as little as two minutes.

Go anyway. Research has found that regularly spending time with at least 10 different friends makes people healthier and happier. That’s because having a wide support network helps you through tough times.
