While a new subvariant is causing increasing hospitalizations across the country and we await the updated Covid-19 vaccines, now may be a good time to put your mask back on, doctors say. Especially in certain settings like on plane rides and trips on the subway. The percentage of people who said they wore a mask outside of their home in the U.S. decreased from about 57% in January 2022 to around 27% in January of 2023, according to data compiled by the Covid States Project. Yet, "masks still provide good protection," says Dr. Andrew Pavia, chief of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Utah and director of hospital epidemiology at Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital.

No matter how much we think we know ourselves and what we want, we can still feel unsure about what the next steps in our careers, and life overall, should be. Feeling trapped in a cycle with no sense of direction often leads to burnout. Take for instance, Suneel Gupta, who felt more burnt out than ever after exceeding his expectations by selling his wellness company for nearly $20 million in 2016. You can think of your center as your purpose that keeps you grounded even in moments of uncertainty; it's what's referred to in Hinduism as "dharma."

This story is part of CNBC Make It's Tools for Happiness series, which details what we learned from taking a free happiness course offered by Harvard University. An 85-year Harvard study discovered that the most important thing that brings us happiness in life is positive relationships, and your friendships are a huge component. Yet, each of our friendships can look different, and it turns out that your friendships shouldn't all look the same. The renowned Greek philosopher Aristotle narrowed down three types of friendships that we all have. And Arthur Brooks, a Harvard professor who teaches a course about how to manage happiness, believes we need all three friendships to truly feel happy in life.

Symptoms of nomophobia mirror those of an addiction or other anxiety disorders and can include:"Nomophobes are those who exhibit an addiction to their mobile phone," research published in BMC Psychiatry in July states. Nomophobia , short for "no mobile phone phobia," is a term used to describe the anxiety a person experiences when they don't have access to their mobile phone. Teenagers are the most affected by nomophobia, according to research published in BMC Psychiatry, but any age group can struggle with it. Additionally, "being distracted all of the time is very unhealthy for relationships," Leno notes. "We're sacrificing the happiness and potential health of [those] relationships because we care more about the phone."
