The Happiness-Health Connection

Happiness and health go together like a hand and glove. When you are happy, your body responds positively, boosting your immune system, lowering stress levels, and even improving heart health. 

Positive emotions release endorphins and other “feel-good” chemicals that enhance physical well-being. Conversely, poor mental health could lead to physical ailments like headaches, fatigue, or even chronic illnesses. 

You also nurture your physical health by prioritizing your mental well-being through self-care, strong relationships, or fulfilling activities. Investing in your happiness is an investment in your overall health.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
