Subjective feelings about health and happiness are closely interconnected. Even though objective health is important, research shows that an individual's subjective perception of their health and happiness matters more than their actual health. Increasing subjective well-being, or feeling comfortable and content, has been linked to overall happiness. It's also been found that being happier can contribute to better health. To enhance your subjective well-being, you can start by identifying the things and activities that make you feel uplifted and happy, and then make an effort to spend more time on those activities and with those people. Remember, these are all about how you feel about your life and yourself, and science has a formula for happiness that can help guide you in enhancing your subjective well-being.
