What Babies Can Teach Us About Being Happy

What Babies Can Teach Us About Being Happy

Babies laugh more than 300 times a day -- compared to less than 20 times a day for adults.  This may be because babies use their brains differently from adults.

Adults use a "pruning process" to look at the world -- they focus only on what they have learned over time to be most important. But that process eventually allows for only a limited view of life. A baby's brain is more receptive to seemingly irrelevant information, and is therefore more able to find highly rewarding solutions and innovative concepts.

The Huffington Post reports:

"A baby's brain is also better able to notice beauty and experience delight wherever it wanders, being fully appreciative of the new, and present in the now ... So how can you tap into some of this terrific expanded consciousness and think like a baby? The answer: Start meditating! ... So if you want to be happier, start a regular meditation practice today, and start thinking like a baby."
