A resolution was adopted which recognised happiness as a fundamental human goal, and March 20 has been established as the annual International Day of Happiness.
This year's theme is "Be Mindful. Be Grateful. Be Kind".
๐ Here are some interesting findings on happiness:
- Self-acceptance is strongly related to life satisfaction and affect (Ryff, 1989).
- Happiness is more dependent on our reaction to reality (e.g., accepting it versus denying it) than the actual objective reality (Brickman et al., 1978).
- Being grateful for what we haveโeven if itโs not as much as we wantโmakes us happier (Emmons & McCullough, 2003).
- Thereโs a positive relationship between the number of kind acts and the level of happiness someone experiences (Rowland & Curry, 2019)
THERE IS LIFE BEYOND YOUR WORRIES AND DOUBTS. Donโt let them hold you back from living. Take courage, human. You got this โ You know it, it's just hard for you to believe it. ๐
To beginnings and continuations ๐ค๏ธ I hope you got up today with good intentions and high hopes. May you choose to make today great and meaningful ๐ค
Just do it and don't feel guilty for having the best time of your life โจ
I guess it's a known fact that a lot of us would rather carry the weight of our struggles alone than open up to others. But has it ever occurred to you how fast you would willingly rescue someone who needs you? Is it hard to believe that there are people in your life who are willing to do that for you too? Needing help does not make you a burden, and you deserve to have the right people in your life who would allow you that safe space to unload your baggage and cry and just be with you.
I hope you are proud of yourself too. You are doing great, human ๐ช๐ผ
That's how you seize life and live happily.
People falling short is totally normal and you know that. Don't beat yourself up. Instead, pick yourself back up and try again.
There's no point in comparing. Courage comes in different forms.
A reminder people too often forget.
But they don't last forever.
๐ Strength looks different in every person. This is so important to keep in mind. What did strength look like for you today, human?
Growing old is not so bad at all for it also gives us a great opportunity to grow in wisdom and strength as we experience more of life.
This is so underrated. Sometimes, getting out of bed in the morning is the bravest thing you can do. So if you did that today, great job! I am proud of you.
The key is not in avoiding discomfort, but rather in leaning into it and listening to what you actually need ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ It can be difficult but it's worth it in the long run.
You hold so much power within you. Don't take that for granted. We don't always need to look around.
Happy world mental health day! ๐ May we continue to educate ourselves and others and make the world a safer place for everyone, especially for those who have mental health difficulties ๐ค๐ผ

Evaluate before you decide and choose only what's beneficial๐ก
๐ Don't tolerate what's unhealthy. You're not supposed to just "get used to it". Free yourself from whatever's unhelpful and harmful. You don't deserve it.
Give credit to whom credit is due โจ
It's good to set intentions every waking day. Doing so makes life more meaningful and fulfilling ๐
You don't have to suppress it ๐ฏ
Hey, thanks for being here! ๐ซ
๐ท Self-care is productive ๐ท
If it makes you happy, as long as it doesn't harm anyone, there's no need for you to be embarrassed by it. After all, we're meant to enjoy the little things, right? โจ
Oftentimes, acceptance alone makes everything better ๐ It's a good start.
Please do.. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน Nourish yourself even through simple ways.
A reminder that it's totally normal to outgrow certain people, habits, beliefs, and things โ especially once we realize that they no longer serve us anymore ๐
