DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
It seems that during our life here on this earth there are many things we are striving to achieve. One of those things is a life filled with happiness. As I was reading in my psychology text book this morning, I found a list of 10 tips on how to be happier. Here they are:1. Realize that enduring happiness doesn't come from financial success.
2. Take control of your time.
3. Act happy.
4. Seek work and leisure that engage your skills.
5. Join the "movement" movement. (EXERCISE!!)
6. Give your body the sleep it wants. Studies show, and it's pretty much common sense, that we perform better and have more patience when we get enough sleep.
7. Give priority to close relationships. You never know what's going to happen the next day. Never let a moment pass you by to tell someone you love them.
8. Focus beyond self. Self fulfillment is found through serving others.
9. Be grateful. Hmm...for those of us of the LDS Faith, does that ring a bell?
10. Nurture your spiritual self. One of the best steps in my opinion!!
So there you have it. 10 steps from the field of psychology on how to live a happier life...now go and do it!
