Katie Holmes Just Nailed What It Means To Be Happy
- 9 years ago
Katie Holmes offered up some real talk on how to lead a fulfilling life -- and it couldn't be more accurate.
The actress opened up in More magazine's February issue, reflecting on what it means to find happiness.
"You've got to keep going.
In every part of your life," she told the magazine.
"Go to things that interest you.
Do work that's fulfilling.
Challenge yourself.
What's amazing about the human spirit, there are so many people doing inspiring things.
If you focus on that, it makes your life richer."
Research shows happiness is more or less a choice, but our brains often experience a negativity bias.
We tend to reflect on what goes wrong rather than focus on what is going right.
But actively engaging in positive decisions -- like pursuing fulfilling work, as Holmes suggests -- increases our chance for joy.
