\n Turns out, Bobby McFerrin\u2019s 1988 words of wisdom, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, be happy,\u201d are psychologically insightful advice.<\/p>\n

Short-term pleasures contribute just as much to human happiness as does self-control requiring long-term goals, a study has found.<\/p>\n

The researchers concluded that momentary pleasures should be given more appreciation and respect for how much they contribute to a contented life, according to the study, titled \u201cBeyond Self-Control: Mechanisms of Hedonic Goal Pursuit and Its Relevance for Well-Being.\u201d It was published Sunday in the journal Personality and Social<\/a> Psychology Bulletin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for a rethink,\u201d said co-author Katharina Bernecker of the University of Zurich, in a press release about her recent findings. \u201cOf course, self-control is important, but research on self-regulation should pay just as much attention to hedonism, or short-term pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The authors used a questionnaire to determine if some people are better at enjoying short-term pleasures and if they\u2019re happier for it. They found that, indeed, enjoying the small things is more easily said than done \u2014 some people are much better at it than others, who quickly become distracted by intrusive thoughts while trying to enjoy more fleeting fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, when lying on the couch you might keep thinking of the sport you are not doing,\u201d said co-author Daniela Becker of the Netherlands\u2019 Radboud University. \u201cThose thoughts about conflicting long-term goals undermine the immediate need to relax.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those who can fully cherish brief moments of satisfaction tend to be happier in both the long- and short-term, the authors reported, and less likely to experience anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pursuit of hedonic and long-term goals needn\u2019t be in conflict with one another,\u201d Bernecker said. \u201cOur research shows that both are important and can complement each other in achieving well-being and good health. It is important to find the right balance in everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Decades before Becker and Bernecker\u2019s study, artist Andy Warhol argued a similar ideology in less scientific terms. In his 1975 book \u201cThe Philosophy of Andy Warhol,\u201d the hard-partying artist explained how the most mundane, insignificant pleasures in his life were the ones which in fact brought him the most pleasure. It\u2019s \u201cthe little times you don\u2019t think are anything while they\u2019re happening,\u201d he argued, that are in the end the most important.<\/p>\n

More recently, 23-year-old plus-sized model Erica Jean Schenk encouraged her 130,000 Instagram followers to adopt a similar mentality when approaching diet culture, arguing that they should prioritize feeling good over trying to lose weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople always want to look like something they\u2019re not. It\u2019s all about feeling good within,\u201d she told Jam Press. \u201cIt\u2019s less about cutting carbs and cutting calories. It\u2019s more about feeding your body, feeding your soul and being the best person that you can be.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
