PLoS One, 2020. 15(12): p. e0243278. pmid:33306679 As I said earlier, there are no rules when you create your happiness journal. You can write it down or doodle your joyful moments. I absolutely love taking pictures and making a scrapbook kind of journal where I record my happiness. Of course, you can write any way that you see fit and are comfortable with writing. However, aiming to write quality and detail will be far more beneficial to your well-being. Even if you’ve only written a paragraph (a few sentences) but you’ve explored a feeling deeply that you’ve been subject to for a while, this is much better for your mind that a list of 50 vague items.

I realized I am horrible at journaling, and made a promise to never allow myself to write if it will be a constant criticism. Based on this interpretation, the present study applies a subjective approach to analyse the influence on happiness simultaneously exerted by individuals’ internal features and external factors [ 15]. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the influence of certain determinants on the happiness of Spanish citizens, since individuals tend to actively select their place of residence in light of the job opportunities, public goods and services they provide [ 16]. Thus, the choice of where to live is associated with an individual’s social and economic prospects [ 17] and therefore with his/her pursuit of happiness [ 9]. This is what determines the success or failure of cities or municipalities in providing opportunities for residents to attain a comfortable quality of life, with the goal being not only to attract new residents but also to encourage existing ones to stay. This situation calls for certain actions to ensure inhabitants’ satisfaction with life in the city where they live [ 1]. Furthermore, working conditions and even the income gained through work are seen as clear assets in a possible model of happiness [ 14, 18, 19]. Happiness at work, which covers workplace relations and the individual’s self-esteem and assessment of their job, leads to life satisfaction and therefore happiness. But a comprehensive model of happiness must account for the personal issues related to each individual, considered fundamental by [ 20], such as personal development, physical and mental conditions, and even spirituality.

The more people felt their activities were consistent with the core themes and values of their self, the greater meaning they reported in their activities;
On the other hand, if we focus on the place of residence, distinguishing between urban and rural, studies such as that by [ 23] found that the difference in income led to a significant decrease in residents’ subjective well-being. However, income inequality has a greater influence on the happiness of urban residents than on that of residents in rural areas [ 23]. As such, a household’s financial situation and the type of community are significantly correlated [ 1]. However, in your journal, try and start each entry with a list of three things that you’re grateful for each day, whether that’s the birds singing, the music on your Spotify playlist, a friend or even dinner on your table.Realize you had to journal, but the journal is somewhere in your bedroom/living room/far-far-far away from you. Hence, no happiness journaling this morning. I had so many nice memories from those days, but they took a few rows here and there. The rest was filled with details of every little problem I had encountered on that day. Is Your Journaling a Disaster? You might be wondering why happiness is considered such an important aspect of life, as there are many components of a meaningful life. All of these factors can contribute to a happy life, but research has found that good relationships are a vital ingredient (Waldinger & Schulz, 2010).
