Ten points for happiness
The BBC are trying to make Slough happy.
Led by Richard Stevens, a psychologist of well being, he’s distilled his philosophy into 10 ideas just for the Slough experiment:
They run in no particular order:
-exercise three times a week
-count your blessings at the end of each day
-talk for an hour to your partner three times a week
-grow a plant and keep it alive
-cut TV viewing in half
-smile at strangers
-phone a friend you have lost touch with
-have a good laugh every day, even if it is at yourself
-give yourself a treat
-spread some kindness by doing a good turn
so if you’re feeling down, why don’t you try some of them out.
