Are you truly happy? When was the last time you felt happy? If you don’t know the answer to these questions, or have stopped and thought, then it’s time to take action. Let’s remind ourselves how nice it is to be happy and start October with little things that will mean a lot to us and that will remind us that we are happy and that it doesn’t take much for happiness. Are you with us?

30 days of happiness

Day 1.

Get outside, breathe in the deep fresh air and look around. What do you see? People, buildings, cars, trees, plants, the world! We are grateful to be alive and well, to be where we are. Feeling happier?

Day 2. 

Play with art. Draw something, write something, compose something … It doesn’t matter if you are not talented. What has come into existence is the work of your hands. You can do anything. Put the newly created art somewhere in a visible place to remind you that you can do what you imagine.

Day 3.

Watch someone’s performance. On TV, Youtube or buy a theater ticket. Art is happiness.

Day 4. 

Get to bed early.

Day 5. 

Plant the plant. Are you aware that by planting you have helped the Earth and you have helped a new life.

Day 6. 

Call a friend and talk.

Day 7.

Do a workout (at home, in nature or at the gym), let your sweat flow, feel great.

Do something with your hands. Feel free to look for inspiration in our DIY section.
