How to Cultivate Happiness

Here are some lifestyle habits to help you achieve a sense of well-being.

Consume tryptophan

Consuming foods high in tryptophan can help increase your sense of well-being. Tryptophan is essential for protein production. Beef, pork, and chicken all contain tryptophan.

Rhythmic exercise.

Dancing to music, stomping your feet, and moving your body are all good ways to exercise. Chewing is also a rhythmic exercise, so include chewing foods in your diet. Chewing gum also seems to be a good idea.

Sleep with the lights off

During bedtime, sleep in a dark room with all the lights turned off. This will stimulate serotonin secretion the next morning. Sleeping in a room with the light blocked off when the sun is out will produce very little serotonin.
