Studies show that the secret to happiness is doing good. Over the last several years scientists and psychologists have studied what’s been dubbed the “helper’s high.” What did they find?
The amount of purpose people had in their lives, determined their degree of happiness. In fact, the more people that participated in meaningful activities, the better they felt. That’s how we suspect that AWARE Divers must be the happiest kind of divers around. Because doing what we love (diving) + protecting the places we love (underwater) = one happy dive volunteer.
April 22nd is Earth Day — an annual event when people around the global take action for the environment. It’s the perfect time to get your happy on with Tip #7 from Project AWARE’s shiny new 10 Tips for Divers to Protect the Ocean Planet:
