Do Happy Proud: International Day of Happiness 2015

International-day-of-Happiness

Wow, International Day of Happiness 2015 is here! We should totally celebrate, so here are some suggestions:

1.) Practice gratitude: Look at your life, and just for today, think of all the things that are going right. Thank someone.Who knows? Maybe it’ll become a habit.

2.) Smile. smile-1

3.) Pay someone a compliment.

4.) Call an old friend.

5.) Help someone else. This is one of the best ways I know to increase your level of happiness. Not sure where to start? You can start doing happy proud on a small scale, like picking up something someone dropped, offering to hold a door, or not driving like an ass. Maybe you’d like to work a little bigger Happy magic today, like picking up someone else’s groceries, gas, or meal. Want to think even bigger? How about signing up to give blood, volunteering somewhere, or donating to a charitable organization today? I’ll post some suggested links below, but really, the opportunities to make someone else happy today are limitless–just use your imagination, and watch those smiles bloom!

Happy International Day of Happiness, everyone–tell me how you’re celebrating!
