Take a few minutes to reflect on what happiness looks like for you this year. Focus on experiences, feelings, or moments you’d like more of. Even if you don’t end up doing everything on your list, research shows that planning positive experiences—like a vacation—can make us almost as happy as the experience itself.Thank you for celebrating with us—and for helping make the world a happier place, one moment at a time.
