A Babybel poll of 2,000 adults revealed the top 20 things that make us feel good'with a good night's sleep and a sunny blue sky coming in at number one and two. 45 percent said a nice compliment is guaranteed to boost their mood, while laughing until tears flowed also scored high. The average respondent experiences these uplifting moments three times a day and claims that, in a typical week, they feel good about their day four times out of seven.
But, some are finding it increasingly hard to be happy. In fact, 83% said they proactively avoid negative stories on social media and TV due to it leaving them feeling 'emotionally drained'.
68 percent of those polled believe happiness is infectious, and as a result, over a third say they often or always go out of their way to spread a bit of positivity. But, oddly, according to the OnePoll results, just 24 percent actively set aside time on a regular basis to do things that make themselves happy.
'Doing things to make others happy also has the benefit of making us happy as well, making it a really positive circle of behavior,' the Babybel spokesperson added. 'And many of the things on our top 20 list of happiness-makers come at absolutely no cost at all.'
'We all need a boost from time-to-time and feeling good goes hand in hand with doing good, which is why we wanted to spread positivity through this activation.'
