A large study recently published links happiness to a healthy heart….. in this case its your physical heart in discussion. US researchers followed over 1700 people over 10 years, and discovered that anxious and depressed people were at highest risk of heart disease, and that the happiest people in the study were 22% less likely to develop a heart problem. Here’s a WebMD article discussing the study, and an MSNBC heart article here.
“Essentially spending a few minutes each day truly relaxed and enjoying yourself is certainly good for your mental health and may improve your physical health as well.”
- Dr Karina Davidson, Columbia University Medical Center
A happy heart is a healthy heart… so it just comes down to us making sure we bring more positivity into our daily lives. Not waiting for our 2 weeks of vacation, or retirement, but really making it a priority every day. Realize what brings you happiness and make sure you include some of that every day… and enjoy the benefits as your quality of life improves 
For me, Open Heart Meditation has been a wonderful technique to quickly, easily and joyfully remove whatever negative emotions are burdening my heart and replace them with love. What brings joy to your lives?
