Scientists have revealed two key factors that help a person live happily.
A study on this topic was conducted by experts from two universities in Canada.
The scientists shared their results in a scientific paper for the journal Motivation and Emotion .
Based on the results of a series of experiments, psychologists identified two factors that complement each other and allow people to live a happy life.
It is about having an interesting activity that makes you experience harmonious passion, and self-motivation, when a person forces himself to do routine tasks that are also important.
The combination of these factors showed the greatest satisfaction with life among the subjects.
However, scientists note that the formation of a stable combination takes on average six months.
Psychologists emphasized that the results of the study once again underline the importance of having at least one hobby that makes a person have a strong desire to do it every day.
Such a hobby helps to achieve general well-being in life, the scientists concluded.
