International Day of Happiness

International

Today is the United Nations International Day of Happiness.

Since it began in 2013, events have taken place all over the world to celebrate human happiness and wellbeing. With the world still dealing with the challenges of the pandemic, 2022’s theme is ‘Build Back Happier’. We love this because building happiness in recovery is so important as well.

While everyone’s journey to happiness is different, charity Action for Happiness gives advice on how people tend to find happiness through their 10 Keys of Happiness. They also make a range of resources to help you find happiness, like their calendars with daily themes. Their advice today? “Focus on what makes you and others happy today.”
