Here is a discussion about this post:

@drjaneforhappiness: Yes, sometimes the non-obvious ways work better than the obvious ones, many through the brain, or emotions. For example:

A 2025 study found joyful movement (like walking or dancing) boosts weight loss 30% more than grueling workouts.

@shaunchavis: I’m surprised yet totally believe this!

@drjaneforhappiness Glad you are believing! Yea, that boosting happiness can work better than many "obvious" weight loss methods is surprising to so many, and some thought it is fictional or fanciful thinking, but it is proven by much science, cited just a few in my article!
