Here's Today's Feel-Good Story:
According to the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, saying hello or greeting more than one neighbor was shown to correlate with a higher perception of well-being.
Greeting up to six neighbors raises the perception even further, with the perception showing no increases after the sixth.
“Notably, greeting neighbors is also linked to career wellbeing (liking what you do each day), physical wellbeing (having energy to get things done), and financial wellbeing (managing your money well),” the report said. “The associations found among these latter three elements are likely more multifaceted in nature and could be reinforced in part through the correlations found with social and community wellbeing.”
