OUR HAPPINESS MANIFESTO
Happiness!
What is it? Where is it? How can I feel it…more often?
Is it who I happen to be? Where I live? What I earn? What I can buy?
Happiness feels elusive. And as a world we are getting more unhappy by the day. The good news is, we can change this. Because we’re looking for happiness in the wrong places.
See, happy isn’t something I am. Happy is something we can all do! Because we all have a superpower. Too few of us use it. But, we all have it.
Every day we’re alive, we can make happier choices.
Happiness choices that are not about me as an individual, but about us… the people we live among.
Science shows that it’s the choices we make in our communities that make the happiest difference.
We’re Streets ice cream, we know all about happy choices!! We want to make, other, happier choices too.
Simple everyday choices which add up and spread, to make our communities happier and make us happier too!
So, it’s up to us folks. The superpower is in us.
Let’s start making happier choices together.
Let’s make our world a happier place One street at a time!
WHY ICE CREAM MAKES YOU HAPPY?
Ice Cream = Happiness. It’s science.
People have long wondered why it is, that when we eat ice cream, we feel a sense of happiness and pleasure. Whether it’s a moment of solo peace, or celebration between a group of friends, ice cream can turn an average moment to something great.
In 2013, the mystery was solved by UK researchers who analysed how eating ice cream may increase feelings of contentment and well-being . Over a two-day period, participants were offered the choice of a Cornetto Classico ice cream or Cornetto Strawberry ice cream and asked to complete a gratitude journal.
The activity was repeated, individually and in groups, with and without ice cream – with all participants asked to write three things that they were grateful for.
The team discovered that there was a significant link between ice cream and happiness found that any combination of the gratefulness activity and eating ice cream (together or alone) led to increased positive affect feelings.
