Socializing
Rather than meeting family or friends at a restaurant, plan a meal at home. Keep it simple and prepare foods together or have a potluck—cooking doesn’t need to be a solo affair. Everyone saves money, eats better and has a more relaxed environment. When we eat home-cooked meals with others, we feel happier. The happiness factor extends beyond the mealtime to increase happiness and decrease depression outside of meals.
