London: Life is a precious gift. Live happily, and relish every moment of it.

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have discovered that it’s the simple things in life, which impact optimistically on one’s pleasure sense.

Lead researcher, Dr. Richard Tunney, of the university`s school of psychology told that cheerful people liked the free and simple treats, whereas those who identified themselves as more distressed or restless picked out CDs, DVDs and meals out.

The study, licensed by the National Lottery, equated the delight levels of lottery top prize winners with a control group. Responders were inquired how satisfied they were in relation to different life factors, their different mood states explored, how frequently they handled themselves and what structure this took.

The study outcomes indicated that it wasn’t the showy cars and diamond jewelry which encouraged the jackpot winners’ joy percentage. Rather it was hearing to music, reading books, or enjoying a wine bottle with a takeaway, which truly made the difference.

Dr. Richard Tunney, of the university`s school of psychology, said, “It appears that spending time relaxing is the secret to a happy life. Cost-free pleasures are the ones that make the difference.”
