Last night I had to opportunity to go an Anthem Concert which was truly amazing. Anthem is a band from Cornerstone church that only plays once per semester, and it was worthwhile in every aspect. After going to the concert, it kept on hitting me how happy I was and how I wanted to get that happiness every day. Well, I came across this article stating how what are they keys to happiness and how they can affect your life. It states that having a "high priority on family and altruistic goals, church attendance, participation in social events, and regular exercise were all equally or more important than being extroverted in affecting happiness." I found this to be very intriguing since as a college student, it is hard to do all of this and keep a sort of balance in your life for everything that surrounds you. I know that I have had a very hard time figuring out how time I should dedicate to what, and do what with whatever spare time I have, if any for that matter. It was also very interesting that there was no " association between partner similarity and life satisfaction." which was very intriguing, making me wonder how couples achieve satisfaction in their relationships while still feeling happy. It always intrigues me how unhappy people are and what they can do to better their relationships just by changing the small things like reading or going on a run to relieve stress. Sometimes it's the smaller things in life that can make the bigger picture better, but finding those opportunities are worthwhile not just for your but as well as your health.
