According to researchers at The Happiness Project in the U.K., only 50% of our brain’s processing system is inherited. So whether or not you lean more toward gloom or glee has something to do with Mom and Dad and all those nutty ancestors, but it also has something to do with YOU! You can’t control your genes, but here’s what you can control:
You can actually choose to be happy or, at least, happier. Easier said than done, right? Well, positive psychologist Dr. Jonathan Haidt has devised a handy-dandy formula for how to be happy: Calculators out!
H = S + C + V
H = level of happiness
S = set point for happiness
C = current conditions
V = voluntary activities
In other words, your happiness level is a potent mix of how naturally happy you are combined with whatever’s going on in your life right now that affects your happiness, plus those voluntary activities you choose to fill your life with. (There’s that word choose again!)
Happiness Assignment: If your happiness level isn’t registering high enough because current conditions are dragging you down, forget about what you can’t control and focus on doing some really fun and fulfilling V’s.

I work with the very same template on my website although for whichever odd issue it looks to load earlier on your blog eventhough yours consists of alot more content material.

Nice article. There’s a lot of great info here, though I did want to let you know something - I am running Fedora with the latest beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of bizarre for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn’t work so well.

This is my first time i visit here. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.
Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I’ve been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you’ve structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.
i know i’m a little off topic, but i just wanted to say i love the layout of your blog. i’m new to the blogegine platform, so any suggestions on getting my blog looking nice would be appreciated.
