Happiness first
| Sun, 09-28-2008 - 11:42pm |
As we start a new week, staring down at whatever our fitness goals are, it's worth noting that happiness could be just as critical to your health as your miles run and reps completed. I read today (http://www.webmd.com/balance/news/20080829/happiness-satisfaction-boosts-health) about a study that indicates adults who are happy are more likely to report good health, both now and in later years. According to the author, "Everything else being equal, if you are happy and satisfied with your life now, you are more likely to be healthy in the future..." I guess Bobby McFerrin was on to something!
But, for me, the takeaway is that we need to think about happiness, as well as exercise, nutrition, etc.
Have a great week!
