Improving happiness is a challenging task these days, but it can be done. Cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness interventions, and resiliency trainings are most effective at increasing happiness. Ergonomic, environmental, and physical activity interventions also show promise. Wedding Affair brings to you six ways to enhance happiness at work and home.
Psychological Interventions
Mindfulness trainings, as well as cognitive-behavioral trainings and resiliency trainings, increased people’s well-being. An 8-week mindfulness training increased both job satisfaction and life satisfaction among teachers.

A 5-week resiliency training program increased people’s sense of purpose and job satisfaction.
Physical Activity Interventions
Physical activity programs—such as yoga, walking programs, light resistance training, and others—generally showed a modest positive effect on people’s happiness. A combination of muscle relaxation, strengthening, coordination, and flexibility exercises, as well as a yoga intervention and aerobic and weight-training can help a lot.
Environmental Interventions
Improving workplace dynamics—such as improving team communication or conducting manager trainings—showed modest beneficial effects on well-being.
Ergonomics Interventions
The results of postural trainings—such as sitting, standing, and walking exercises—on people’s happiness levels were inconsistent. An ergonomics training course improved job satisfaction and happiness.
Multi-component Interventions
Single-component interventions may be more effective than multi-component interventions. A minimal effects of a 12-week program focusing on physical activity, psychological coping, and stress management on people’s levels of life satisfaction and job satisfaction.
