A New Study Finds The Key to Happiness - Is It Something You Can Do?

Wondering what it takes to actually be HAPPY?!? According to a new study out of the University of Zurich in Switzerland, the key to being really happy is . . . sometimes just saying "screw it" and giving in to your impulse to do something fun without thinking about the consequences.

The researchers say, "Of course self-control is important, but research on self-regulation should pay just as much attention to hedonism, or short-term pleasure."

They found that you need to be able to mentally put aside your responsibilities, your hang-ups, and even your long-term goals once in a while in order to TRULY relax and enjoy your life. People who can do that have a better sense of well-being and they're less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
