If you're happy and you know it...hug a friend.
Apparently,...happiness truly is contagious and transmitted through contact with our social networks.
According to the British Medical Journal, in a joint study published this week by scientists from Harvard and the University of California - San Diego, one of the best predictors of our happiness is the degree to which our immediate social network is made up of happy people. Um...duh.....
Okay, admittedly, it's not something I find that surprising. It doesn't, (or at least shouldn't) take a brain surgeon to figure that out. But now that there's some science and data behind it, I'm going to completely submit to my chronically happy disposition, embrace my potentially annoying perma-grin, harness it's big ol' dimpled power and unleash a whole can of happy laughter on everyone I know.
The way I see it, I'm just going to do my part for the greater good. I'm spreading my serotonin and I'm taking no prisoners.
Consider yourself warned....I planning to infect my immediate network with a triple threat of bear hugs, boisterous laughter and giant smiles and I'm not taking no for an answer.
Cheers,
Liz
