How to use "Unhappiness" in context?
A recent study out of Brigham Young University found that more than half of all adults in the United States are not happy with their lives. This staggering statistic begs the question: What can be done to help people be happier?
While there is no definitive answer, one way to increase happiness is to adopt certain habits. For example, practicing gratitude can help reduce unhappiness because it gives people a sense of satisfaction and reduces rumination, which is a mental process that often leads to negative thoughts and feelings. Additionally, engaging in enjoyable activities, such as hobbies or spending time with friends and family, can also lead to happiness.
