Their study has shown that people who spend money on others report more happiness, and this is what we call prosocial spending. Sharing is caring as they say, and the more you show affection to someone (be it your family, friends, or a special person) the more fulfilled and happy you will be.

Look out for good money saving deals to cut some of those spending off, such as dining discounts that are typically offered by credit cards.

Invest in your wellness
According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” That is why if you want to be truly healthy, it’s also important to take care of not just your physical health, but also your mental and social well-being. You can do this by channeling your time and energy into pampering yourself. Also, according to a research from Bishop’s University in Quebec, people who are more self-compassionate are healthier and less stressed than those who aren’t. So, if you’re having a rough week, it’s never a bad thing to rebound from all the stress by pampering yourself. You will also make yourself look good in the process, making you radiantly happy inside out.
