International Day of Happiness: 4 Easy Ways to "Spread the Happy"





March 20 is officially known as International Day of Happiness. I don't know about you, but with all the craziness going on in the world, its great to take a day and focus on being happy!

Today is also the first official day of Spring. No, it doesn't feel quite like Spring in some places yet, but its comforting to know that warmer weather, longer days, and vacations are on the way!!

As you know, my blog is all about positive vibes and spreading love, so I couldn't let today slip by without acknowledging a few ways to brighten someone's day!

Here are 4 Easy Ways to "Spread the Happy":


  • Call Your (Insert Distant/Older relative here):
    • When was the last time you called your grandma or Aunt Sally? Pick up the phone and call a loved one tonight. You never know if you will get another chance to and your voice will surely brighten up their day!
  • Compliment a Stranger
    • When you see a woman with a killer outfit or a guy driving your dream car, take a moment to let them know how you feel! Your compliment may be the confidence booster a person needs to make it through a rough day!
  • Pay it Forward
    • If you hit a store or drive through today, pay for the person behind you. Unless, of course, their total is too high. Then don't pay for it LOL!! I kid, I kid. But, if its a total you can swing, help another person out. Once again, you don't know what kind of struggle a person is going through.
  • Give Your Time
    • It doesn't matter if you spend time with family, friends, or at a local shelter, donate some of your time and do something you love. Today, my husband was off work and we are going to spend time with our daughters (ages 4 and 3 weeks). Time is constantly fleeting and the most precious asset you can give to another person!
Stay Happy Folks!!
