On August 8th, we celebrate “Happiness Happens Day,” a reminder to be joyful and spread positive vibes. Founded by the Secret Society of Happy People in 1999, this day encourages us to choose happiness daily.
We all know that the journey of life is a short one, and through its uncertainties, choosing happiness becomes a response we need to practice over and over. For me, it’s about finding silver linings, being grateful, and appreciating life’s simple pleasures – a meal shared with friends, tickling my daughter, sharing a starry sky and an old story with my partner in life.
Happiness is contagious, and by sharing it at work and at home, we make others feel more positive and free. Here are your 5 tips to unleash the joy on this special day:
- Practice gratitude
- Spread smiles
- Bring (relatively) healthy snacks to the office to share
- Compliment your boss
- Perform 5 random acts of kindness.
Remember, happiness is not a destination; it’s a journey. Embrace the little moments of laughter, genuine connections, and the ability to find joy in the ordinary. Let’s choose happiness daily, celebrate it on August 8th, and make the world a brighter and happier place, one smile at a time.
To your health!
