  • Glad it’s worked well for the original OP.

    I still remember reading in the book “Thinking Fast and Slow” and the research they presented on happiness. Apparently their data averaged out to: 1. baseline happiness when single, 2. big spike up in the first year of marriage, 3. Settles at a permanent level below the baseline (from when single).




  • For people not from the UK: The Sun is a bad joke of a publication. I would recommend reading some of their articles if you’re in the mood for a good laugh…but I don’t really want them to get the clicks.

    Now for the sad part: this is one of the most widely circulated news publications in the UK and people seem to read it seriously.





  • There are evidence based tips from behavioural psychology you can use to help. Some examples…

    Will-power is a finite resource in the day, so if exercise is left to the end of the day then it is easier to leave out.

    If you keep your exercise clothes laid out then it removes that barrier and makes it easier to get up and go to exercise. When I get home from work I change straight into gym clothes even if I’m not going to work out for another couple of hours.

    Keep a TV show/audio book that you are excited about, that you only ever watch in the gym. Then you can never progress the story without going to the gym.
