International Happiness Day

It’s the 20th March and this not only means there is going to be an eclipse, it’s the start of spring. But also it is International happiness day, where people all around the globe get together to create happiness to spread across the planet.

Within the pack they have suggested ways to bring you happiness:

1)      Doing something for someone else- Research would suggest kindness to others increases our levels of happiness as well as others.  When someone is kind to you pass it on, pay it forward.

2)      Volunteer time, energy and your skills- Volunteering provides a positive contribution to creating happiness in others. Gets you out and about and meeting new people therefore increasing your own happiness.

3)      Get to know your neighbours- Getting to know others creates a sense of belonging to a community and creates happiness for the neighbourhood

4)      Understanding needs- Communication is key for all relationships, both being able to hear and be heard will strengthen connections and relationships with the people around us.

5)      Look for good in people around you- Rather than criticise those around look for the good in people and bring to light the things we value and appreciate in each other

They’ve also put an image together for 10 ways for happier living.
