Happiness sometimes seems very elusive. The more you chase it, the harder it seems to catch it. It’s a by-product of living meaningfully and listening to what your body and mind need. However, you don’t necessarily have to win a Nobel prize fto live with purpose. Spending time with the people you care about, slowing down and being present in the moment, allowing yourself to take in the beauty of the world around you—that’s how we befriend happiness.
The ‘Content That Makes You Happy’ account on X (formerly Twitter) does exactly what it says and shares wholesome and beautiful content. We’ve collected some of the best pictures to share with you. Scroll down for an instant mood boost, Pandas. And don’t forget to share these with any friends you think might be feeling blue.
Bored Panda wanted to understand how to cultivate happiness in our day-to-day lives better, as well as how much our environments impact us. Glenn Geher, Ph.D., was kind enough to walk us through this and explained how happiness is an evolved emotion. You'll find our full interview with him as you read on. Dr. Geher is a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author.
