Just as important for inspiration and creativity as time alone is meaningful time with friends and family. According to the study, social engagement with friends and family has a big impact on happiness. Social engagement is essential for happiness, even for introverts. Studies have revealed that spending time with friends and family has a greater positive impact on happiness than a higher wage. Spending time with friends and family can help you manage your stress. Nearly all of the other things we feel make us happy are only ways to widen our already existing social networks; we are happy when we have family and friends. Despite the reality that money cannot buy pleasure, spending time with the people you love is always a great investment. Spending time with family is one of the best ways to create memories. You cannot substitute the time you spend with your family. If you have children, this is especially true. It’s likely that you already spend a lot of time with young children. Scheduling family time for older children and teenagers who might prefer to hang out with their friends can be more difficult. If you’re unsure of where to start, consider starting small with something straightforward, like dinner at the table or an evening board game. If your family doesn’t enjoy playing games, think about engaging in outside activities like taking a walk in the park. Even DIY projects may be a great way to get everyone involved and working together toward a similar goal.
