Celebrating Happiness!
Celebrating Happiness!
Did you know that we’re celebrating the International Day of Happiness? Well, we do! The International Day of Happiness is celebrated annually on March 20th. Let’s celebrate it by incorporating small practices into our daily lives — not only on the celebration day but every day! Let's explore some simple yet powerful tips to cultivate happiness into our day to day lives:
Expressing gratitude
Why do it?
Reflecting on blessings generally cultivates a more positive outlook in our lives. It doesn’t have to be something big. Let’s train our minds to find joy and gratitude even in small, mundane things — like a cup of soothing hot tea on a rainy morning, or a compliment from some friends you saw in the hallway.
How to do it?
Each day, try to reserve 5 minutes to acknowledge three things you're grateful for. You can either write it down or share it with your loved ones.
2. Savoring the moment
Why do it?
In this busy life where you’re always on-the-go, mindfulness allows you to pause, savor the present, and appreciate simple moments.
How to do it?
Slow down, engage your senses, and appreciate the present. Whether it's the taste of a delicious meal at lunch or a friend's laughter, be truly present in the moment.
3. Connecting with others
Why do it?
Strong and genuine social connections provide invaluable support and contribute to overall happiness.
Fun fact: It doesn’t have anything to do with your tendency to be an introvert or extrovert, everybody needs some help and some hugs from someone, sometimes!
How to do it?
Nurture your relationships with friends and family. Schedule regular calls, share a meal, joke around, or simply have a heartfelt conversation.
4. Practicing kindness
Why do it?
When you do good, you feel good! When you receive something good, you feel great! Really, there’s no downside to doing random, small acts of kindness.
How to do it?
Any kind of small acts of kindness that you feel like doing! For example, hold the door open for a stranger, volunteer your time, or simply offer a genuine smile.
5. Doing what you love
Why do it?
Engaging in passions or any kind of activities that you enjoy reduces stress and cultivates a sense of fulfillment.
How to do it?
What do you like to do in your free time? Whether it’s baking a cake, painting, reading, listening to music, or dancing, make time for it!
6. Progression, not perfection
Why do it?
Embracing progress over perfection fosters resilience, boosts motivation, reduces anxiety, and paves the way to a more successful journey.
How to do it?
Celebrate small wins, acknowledge the great efforts you’ve made, and learn from mistakes.
Remember, happiness is a seed you nurture every day. Start planting today!
