a researcher at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand
did a study to see what makes people the happiest are the happiest when they're
raising children are the happiest when they're having fax
on the answer good answer the answers
are not that surprising I but I thought it was bad thing because there are
things on this list
that I didn't expect and there's a list of things that make people
unhappy in their things on there that I didn't expect so I'll take a look
so we came to the things that make people the happiest it turns out that
coming in at number one
is sax and we'll walk okay I didn't see that coming
oh my god number two is drinking alcohol
while drinking alcohol is pleasurable and it makes people happy
they also want to measure how meaningful the activity is that of course
meaningfully it rated very low on a meaningful scale but the facts remain
high on the scale for everything
yet sex another meaningful but anyway I i disagree with
looking very meaningful what do you mean the cookie effects are you have you have
to have my like very on meaningful sex I'm
I am so ashamed what Lakewood it has to be like
you have to read a poem while you're doing it no meaning something just for
fun
sometimes for fun but if you have to look in each others eyes military gotta
ladies
man
apparent is gone now to decide
found a really romantic know yet and what we learned a lot about your
character
anyway so back to the fun activities I love the next to rate
volunteering SE people really underestimate this
in meditation religion or meditating in religion and then
care fertility actual through those because we all focus on like we get a
sex is fun partying drinking is fun
but actually curious i'd I love taking care my kids
you know we play they say funny things you know i IA
no you know any the joy in their eyes when they have enough on
that's great and volunteer when you like I know it's a cliche but when you give
it makes you feel good because that's how we're structured it's in our DNA
because we're communal animals so it's vastly underrated
yet so there was up this report on what makes people
happy in general like what kinda actions can you take it let's say you're not
feeling so great what connections can you take the kind of who
me I'm be uplifting get your mood in a better place
and one other things is help people out spend money
on people you love you know so take people that you really like out to lunch
or dinner
and your mood will change it absolutely true because you feel good about that
good deed yet so I like volunteering as well like I love
being able to donate to my time for some my resources to make someone else's day
better
your own oh no I don't actually do that but I see have theoretically could make
but
alright and and meditating end
religion for a lot of people gives great solace and
and and it's a good moment to take out for yourself and to think things through
and people have a different ways of doing that's great and the Restless
listening to music socializing
you know hobbies for me my hobbies are incredibly painful
mainly fantasy football and every time I lose I wanna rip
every hair I have outta my skoal and unforeseen my son is learning a lot
about words watching me
watch football like based on the other day go grabbers hearing go
como Sun know so what we did you get that from
and then I realize we're watching football oh my god I gotta for me mom I
and and gaming you know ok a couple shopping guru
that to you know first everybody got a different thing
you make me walk around the mall I rather run a marathon don't walk around
a mall for
an hour okay but now things that people don't like also interesting worse rent
activities
recovering from sickness da again
up Facebook how their cover number two were strength activity I feel like
Facebook
probably ranks lower because it's not meaningful I think people feel guilty
about it because it is a huge waste of time
its it sucks up so many be resource is your time your
energy you can be suing Sol so many other things to be more productive with
your time in and I think that's the reason why people put it
in that like housework should be number one by a landslide
yes me came in at three studying at least you learn something studying but
we're both dorks
texting yes that was your time texting going to lecture
way p paid worker
*** laude you should enjoy your work a little bit more commuting IAEA probe you
doing
I told you really computer were gonna smash my head to a computer I totally
agree with that
and watching the seven washing your cell I don't know and i think is it has been
done in New Zealand I think the washing means like laundry
okay I could be that I agree with you yahawashi so
grab some fun
