There are many benefits to having an open heart. Things like normalized blood pressure, elevated moods, improved sleep quality, inner peace, calm, and relaxation. But the benefit that I like to share the most, is increasing your happiness.

As I wrote in my post, What Does Being Happy Really Mean? when you are happy, you think your life circumstances are favorable, in harmony, and pleasing to you. Because you need to remember if you are happy, aren’t most things going right in your life? When you have said, “I’m so happy right now,” your mind is only thinking about what is going well in your life. But if you said, “I’m so content,” that has a very different connotation. It screams that things can be better.

With the short amount of time we have to be alive, why not be happy. And one way to increase that happiness is to have an open heart.
