June 20 is the happiest day of the year: temperatures rise, holidays are just around the corner, and there are more hours of daylight. SPC suggests four habits to follow that will keep you positive.
There are three features that make Yellow Day, on June 20, the happiest day of the year: the hours of daylight increase, the temperatures are more pleasant, and the holidays are near. Also, it is the time of year when we have the most free time, a good way to strengthen social bonds and plan outdoor activities. Summer promises to be a time of enjoyment and rest, and thinking about it brings a certain joy.
However, we should not settle for having only one Yellow Day a year. There are several routines that can help us be more positive and feel happier every day. SPC, the Spanish technology company specialized in smart consumer electronics products, proposes four habits to follow —with the help of technology— to feel satisfied throughout the year.
Release endorphins and dopamine with a technological trainer
One of the best reasons to do daily exercise is that it helps us stay more active and happy. The endorphins generated during exercise give you a natural feeling of happiness. At the same time, we eliminate cortisol, also called the stress hormone. Moreover, the release of dopamine makes us experience a pleasant feeling after exercising.
Summer is perfect for setting a sports goal, whether it is crossing the finish line of a 10-kilometer race for the first time or walking 10,000 steps daily. Getting a sports gadget that fits our daily pace and pushes us to improve every day, like smartwatches, is the best choice. Opt for those with water resistance, to use them in the sea or pool; and HR sensor, which will allow you to always know your heart rate to have full control of your physical condition.
Use headphones to connect with your favorite songs
Music is a great tool to regulate your emotions. The songs you listen to have the power to improve your mood, calm you down, or cheer you up. Likewise, listening to a song you really like speeds up your whole body: it makes you want to dance and even quickens your walking pace. This activation of endorphins and the cardiovascular system has direct effects on our health.
Whether you are at home or on your way to the office, on the train or on the plane, focus on what really matters: connecting with yourself through music. Headphones with technologies like active noise cancellation (ANC) and environmental noise cancellation (ENC) eliminate background noises present in urban settings, open offices, or public transport.
Stay in touch with loved ones through calls and messages
Connecting with family releases oxytocin, a hormone that helps us feel more secure and socialize better. After the pandemic, we need to strengthen bonds between generations, especially with older people, who play a very important role: they help children and grandchildren daily, are an endless source of experiences and advice, and maintain the link with family identity and history. Although we can now see our elders again and spend quality time with them, we must not forget to accompany them all year round, even if it is by phone: we can feel closer to them through calls, messages, and photographs.
There is a large range of phones for seniors with features dedicated to those senior users who find it difficult to use a smartphone with advanced functions and who demand an easy-to-use device. Perfect for being more and better connected with our grandparents.
Keep the house clean and tidy with the help of a robot
Cleaning can help in many vital and emotional aspects, even for those who see it as a duty. People with a messy home show more symptoms of fatigue and tiredness, as a disorganized environment drains emotionally and increases frustration, according to the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Also, cleaning and tidying can serve as a catharsis, since organized spaces positively influence mental well-being.
However, everyday life is intense and often the time devoted to each task is less than appropriate. There are many tricks to keep a spotless home: one of them is to forget the broom and get a robot vacuum cleaner. There are models with intelligent detection systems that adapt to any cleaning environment and precisely delimit surfaces, optimizing usage time. Also, it is possible to program them through the smartphone and choose, among other things, the suction power, the mopping flow level, or the cleaning pattern the robot will follow.
