1. Your favorite song is likely associated with an emotional event.
You and everyone else.

2. Music impacts your perspective.
This one seems kind of obvious! A study at the University of Groningen showed that music has a dramatic impact on your perception.

3. The more you spend on others, the happier you are.
According to various studies. Be sure to give plenty this holiday season!

4. Spending money on experience instead of stuff also makes you happier.
Collect memories not things, right?

5. Kids are more high strung today than the average psych ward patient in 1950.
Which is pretty scary but not surprising. About half the human population now suffers anxiety, depression, or a sort of substance abuse.

6. Certain religious practices lower stress.
“The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Mood Disorders” shows that people who engage in meditation and prayer religiously are less stressed out.

7. Money does buy happiness, but only up to $75,000 a year.
For the average American, $75k a year buys happiness. It liberates you from poverty and gets you what you need in life.

8. Being with happy people makes you happier.
This should come as no surprise.

9. 18 to 33 year olds are the most stressed out people on earth.
Family, education, work, it can all be pretty stressful.

10. Convincing yourself you slept well tricks your brain into thinking it did.
Thus giving you more energy. They called it “placebo sleep”.

11. Smart people underestimate themselves and ignorant people think they’re brilliant.
It’s called the Dunning Kruger Effect, it’s real, and just go on Facebook and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

12. When you remember a past event, you’re actually remembering the last time you remembered it.
Alright, that one blew the hell out of my mind. This is why our memories fade and distort over time.

13. Your decisions are more rational when thought in another language.
A university of Chicago study showed that Korean citizens who thought in foreign languages reduced their overall bias. Neat.

14. If you announce your goals, you’re less likely to succeed.
It’s true. Tests since the 1930’s have pretty well proven it.

I think announcing what you're going to do over and over again kills enthusiasm

Wow

I descent no 12,the rest might be true though

Personally oooo I think 1&2 don't work for me

TRUE

Really

No 14 is true.

Nice one op, but i dn't think number 3 works for everybody

End time facts

No.7. If 75k can buy happiness for an average American... How much will buy it here in Nigeria we are not in America op

Number 14 has to do with mind set. Another psycho test. So just Cus I tell every one I want to buy a new car doesn't mean I won't buy it. Or I want to travel out doesn't stop me from getting a visa. I personally like telling pple wat I m upto and doesn't stop me from achieving my goals. We announce our goals each time to 3 or more pple subconsciously..
Companies announce their mission and goals and succeed yearly. Number 14 doesn't work for me...

great tips

That's not it, you seem not to understand this thing.
Most time it's not even from me, it just seems as if an invincible force just comes and deviate the whole expectations, something you never foresaw as a possibility.
I've long stopped sharing, and ever since I made that decision, every goal I set becomes achievable, with results that atimes beat my wildest imaginations.

i bow for your reasoning o wetin come bring muslim come inside this gist now? Abi u be antichrist?

Hmm think in another language Very dangerous The last time I tried to think like an igbo man, I almost carried drugs

Number 12 is so on point. That is how I usually get over issues that are troubling my mind, mostly bad esperiences and emotional trauma.

14. If you announce your goals, you’re less likely to
succeed.
It’s true. Tests since the 1930’s have pretty well proven it.

Exactly, I noticed people who keep talking all the time about themselves and goals usually don't succeed at the end. Don't get it wrong, If you need help you can talk about your goals to others. But when you don't need any help and keep disturbing others how you are gonna do this and that then you may not even succeed.

Your favorite song is likely associated with an emotional event.
You and everyone else.

Nope.
My favourite song as of now isn't related to any emotional event. Its just a soundtrack from a movie I happened to like.

3. The more you spend on others, the happier you are

Hmmmmmmm...........

6. Certain religious practices lower stress.
“The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Mood Disorders” shows that people who engage in meditation and prayer religiously are less stressed out.

Also the Rastafarian religious practice of smoking weed is worthy of mention

11. Smart people underestimate themselves and ignorant people think they’re brilliant.
It’s called the Dunning Kruger Effect, it’s real, and just go on Facebook and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Or better still go on Nairaland Romance section to get an even better example.

that's what I'm saying. From my POV, when you keep announcing it, your subconscious either gets bored and loses interest, or stupidly thinks you already carried out the act, since it keeps mulling over it constantly. I know it makes no sense
