Happiness Goals Countdown

Another year rolls around and many of us are thinking about New Year’s resolutions. But why should we make resolutions when 45% of people make them but only 8% manage to keep them? Making a resolution might seem like a losing battle, but making an explicit resolution actually means you are ten times more likely to succeed at meeting the goal, so you’re already ahead of the game!

This year, we are mounting a challenge to make resolutions that really count and help increase the amount of happiness in the world: the world’s Happiness Quotient.

How do we increase the world’s Happiness Quotient? By increasing our own happiness and then sharing it with others. Happiness is contagious! It improves our relationships with everyone around us and even makes us more likely to be generous and kind.

A great way to grow your happiness is by setting happiness-building goals. Research shows links between having goals and how happy we are because goals give us purpose, focus, and satisfaction with life. Even better, achieving goals gives us a boost of happiness and optimism, which then contributes to our ability to meet new goals! These effects are seen in all areas of life, including work, personal relationships, and health.

Our Happiness Goals Countdown is aimed at helping you increase your happiness quotient, and share happiness with the world around you.

But what kinds of goals are best? Research shows that certain goals increase happiness more than others. Spending time on goals that rejuvenate you and benefit others, such as investing in your relationships and health, are the best way to build and share happiness. These kinds of goals are the focus of our campaign.

We’ll publish an article every other day, starting from December 11 and going all the way up to New Year’s Eve on December 31. We’ll give you specific goals that will genuinely increase your happiness. By adding these to your list, you’ll become a Happiness Ambassador, making your 2015 a happy one.

So hop on board! Here’s how to—
