so when they mention in the article happiness is probably both something you actively do but also a byproduct of your environment. i imagine when you ask experts on happiness who presumably are happy themselves about their habits, the causal relation cuts boths ways? like if you are inherently unhappy but start doing these habits your environment will improve and you'll become happier somewhat while you still may not feel "100% happy" bc these habits don't engage with that internal mode of happiness?
- escapedmoose 4y agoI went into more detail in another comment, but tldr I’ve experimented in the past with dropping some of these activities to see how it affects my mood. Above all else, sleep, exercise, and time spent in nature are essential to my personal happiness. Without these things my mood drops pretty quickly. Therefore I believe that someone who doesn’t already get these things would see an improved mood by adding them.
