5 Happiness Secrets curious people know

1) Make room for chance encounters

Fear of disappointment is a major roadblock to happiness. It's recommended that you aim to become approach oriented instead of avoidant.

2) When you think you can't, try anyway

Our brain wants us to seed new things. The key is in exploring despite having self-doubt and anxiety.

3) Be interested, not interesting

Which factor had the greatest impact on people's lives, learning something? And not holding back with strangers is an easy way to ensure each day holds a new lesson.

4) When a theme repeats, explore it

People with the happiest lives have one foot in the present and one foot in the future, trying to make sense of the things that are happening.

5) Investigate life's little mysteries

We share only 10 percent of the thoughts in our minds with the people in our lives. There is a benefit to going into relationships intentionally searching for what we don't know, as opposed to relying on what we know. It makes us alive in the present.
