An 85-year Harvard study found the No. 1 thing that makes us happy in life: It helps us 'live longer' (via CNBCMakeIt)

Relationships affect us physically. Ever notice the invigoration you feel when you believe someone has really understood you during a good conversation? Or a lack of sleep during a period of romantic strife?

So, if you're going to make one choice to boost happiness and success in life, science tells us that your choice should be to cultivate warm relationships. And to do so, it's important to practice "social fitness." We tend to think that once we establish friendships and intimate relationships, they will take care of themselves. But our social life is a living system, and it needs exercise.Social fitness requires taking stock of our relationships, and being honest with ourselves about where we're devoting our time and whether we are tending to the connections that help us thrive.Humans are social creatures. Each of us as individuals cannot provide everything we need for ourselves.

Below you'll find a table arranged around the seven keystones. The first column is for the relationships you think have the greatest impact on you. Place a plus symbol in the appropriate columns if a relationship seems to add to that type of support in your life, and a minus symbol if a relationship lacks that type of support.
