Klaudia Mitura
Hello Happiness Seekers
My name is Klaudia and you are listening to The Happiness Challenge.
This episode is part of the Happiness Reset Campaign where I bring you 25 bitesize episodes to inspire you to refocus on your happiness and fulfilment.
In each short episode I bring you one practical hack to create more happiness at work, in relationships and in your own skin.
Follow me on Linkedin and join my newsletter to share what hacks you are finding useful and to get free tickets to a webinar on the science of happiness that I will be hosting in February.
This happiness hack encourages you to keep attention to what you are reading to experience more happiness.
According to the American Psychological Association, over 50% of adults are more stressed due to negative news.
Staying informed might be important but reading fast, negative news not only results in more stress but also wastes away parts of our brain!
Researchers found that the more a person scrolls through multiple news items, the fewer brain cells are left in the part of the brain responsible for attention span and critical evaluation. Quick scanning of a variety of news is not what you need to sustain learning, engage your grey cells and keep your wonder alive.
In this happiness hack, I encourage you to subscribe to positive and slow journalism which presentes different points of view for you to come to your conclusion but most importantly also mentions all the good that is happening in the world.
My favourite publications are The Positive News and Future Crunch.
Thank you for listening to the Happiness Reset Campaign, I hope this happiness hack is useful and impactful. If you want to learn more, listen to episode: #19 Happiness: How to stay happy on social media
I would love you to share this episode with others and subscribe to my podcast and newsletter so you don't miss out on any future hacks. Thank you again for listening and I dare you to be happy. Bye
