Exercise Equals More Happiness

Some University did a study recently of successful people and their level of happiness. The findings were somewhat surprising. It wasn't about the money. Sure money can buy lots of cool stuff and help alleviate tons of common worry. These successful women and men - at least those who seemed to be the most content and at ease with their lives - shared several common traits - and habits.

They had a variety of interests and enjoyed playing as much ( or more ) than their chosen profession! They almost all believed in God and attended a Church regularly! They held family and friends quite high on their list of priorities. And the biggest majority of these content and fun-loving success stories exercises almost every day! They used exercise to help balance their lives and keep their stress levels to a manageable level!

These captains of life - enjoyed having fun - and had a variety of interests to enjoy and play at. They tended to enjoy eating healthy and staying fit. Their zest for life and living to the fullest was a persistent trait.
