Being happy is of course everyone’s desire. Although sometimes, we need to understand whether we are truly happy or not? Several experts in their research provide steps to achieve happiness by examining the daily habits of truly happy people.
In America there is an application called Happy Things to help people build habits in their daily activities for happiness. For Talia Soen, CEO of Happy Things, she believes that happiness is a habit. The following are 4 habits of truly happy people which have been summarized from the Fortune Well site.

Although it is not certain, many researchers believe that exercising can bring happiness to the body. Exercise can improve brain function and maintain mental health. You don’t need to do strenuous exercise like a marathon to increase happy hormones, just do light exercise for 30 minutes a day. By moving your body a lot, happiness will continue to increase. Moreover, if you do sports outside, apart from physical movement, breathing fresh air and interacting with nature will support your inner happiness.
2. Socialize

A study of happy people shows that socialization plays an important role in achieving happiness. On average, they are people who have many social circles, whether from family, co-workers or other social communities. Therefore, socializing is very important to support feelings of happiness so as not to experience deep loneliness. At the very least, you must have family or friends who you can contact when you need help.
3. Reduces stress

According to Laurie Santos, professor of psychology at Yale University, having a lot of free time at least 5 hours a day has been proven to reduce stress. Meanwhile, other opinions say that spending time in nature can also reduce stress. Another factor that causes stress, usually is money, but several recent studies have proven that money is not a big cause of stress.
4. Think Positively
