Ways
to Have a Happy New Year livescience by Wynne Parry
Research also shows it's possible to
cultivate an attitude of gratitude. One of the creators of the World Gratitude
Map, Jacqueline Lewis, shares some tips on how to feel more grateful, and
happier, in your New Year.
Once you find your sources of gratitude,
you can post them to the web-based Map, which helps people around the world
record and share the things for which they feel grateful.
1. Slow down and take notice: Pick three
good things that you see or experience during the day, then write them down or
post them on the World Gratitude Map. You can also throw a quarter or a dollar
in a jar. When it's filled, treat yourself, or better yet, someone else, Lewis
suggests.
2. Saying thank you: Take time to thank
someone every day, anything from a card to an email or a hand on the shoulder
will do. Connecting with others this way will help you get outside of your own
head, Lewis said. Research that came out in May revealed a simple "thank
you" may boost relationship satisfaction. The undergraduates in the study,
detailed in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, reported feeling
more appreciative of their partners the day after they themselves felt more
appreciated. Those who felt appreciated were also less likely to break up in
the following nine months, saying they felt even more committed to each other
at that time.
3. Build in ways to help others: For
example, Lewis recalls throwing a party and asking that, in lieu of gifts,
guests bring gift cards to donate to a local shelter. Science has shown those
people who buy gifts for friends or give charitable donations experience a
happiness boost not seen in individuals who spend on themselves. That study was
published in 2008 in the journal Science.
5. Find ways to connect to faraway loved
ones: Around Easter one year, when Lewis' mother was dying, Lewis said she
brought friends and family together in spirit, or at least costume, by asking
everyone to send photos of themselves wearing bunny ears for
"Bunnyfest." Another example: Lewis said her sister and a remote
friend have used Skype to cook together.

Miss Colombia crowned Miss Universe in Miami
Associated Press By KELLI KENNEDY January
MIAMI (AP) — Miss Colombia Paulina Vega, a relative pageant newcomer, has been crowned Miss Universe, beating out first runner-up Miss USA Nia Sanchez and contestants from more than 80 other countries at Sunday's pageant in Miami.
Vega, a 22-year-old student of business administration from Barranquilla, Colombia, said she would wear the crown with "pride and excitement" as she heard the news that fans in Colombia had taken to the streets to celebrate.
Although she was far from home, Vega said she still felt the support from local Latinos.
"It felt like home. I felt like I was in Colombia with my people. I felt that support in every moment of the pageant," she said, wearing a sparkling silver gown with vertical stripes at a press conference after the competition.
Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, said many predicted Vega would take the crown a few weeks ago when contestants first arrived in Miami for the festivities.
"From the minute she walked in the building, people said, 'She's a star,'" Trump said.
Vega's win keeps the title in the hands of another Latina — reigning Miss Universe Gabriela Isler is from Venezuela. Beauty pageants are big business in Latin America, where girls are groomed for the contests from a young age and where Vega said women find "a lot of pride" in representing their country.
Crowd favorite Miss Venezuela Migbelis Lynette Castellanos was cut after the top ten. She had tremendous support and pressure locally and back home. The Miami suburb of Doral, which was host to the women during their stay, is also known as "Doralzuela" for its many Venezuelan residents.
Pageants and performance run in Vega's family. Her grandmother, Elvira Castillo, was Miss Atlántico 1953 (Colombia) and her grandfather is legendary tenor Gastón Vega.
