It's International Day of Happiness. The theme for 2025 is Caring and Sharing. It reminds us that lasting happiness comes from caring for each other, feeling connected and being part of something bigger.
"We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world"
— Howard Zinn
How to get involved?
STEP 1: THINK What is something you found helpful or inspiring recently? It could be a new idea, quote, image, podcast, article, book or place
STEP 2: CARE Who is someone you care about who might benefit from it too? Choose a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour or someone you've not seen for a while.
Step 3: SHARE How will you get in touch to share it with them today? Send a text, share on a messaging app, leave a voice note, give them a call, or pop around to say Hello!
Action for Happiness create monthly calendars to inspire and encourage you to create small acts of happiness and kindness for yourself and others.
What small act of kindness have you witnessed this week or that you have done for someone else? Each act helps to make this world a happier place.
