International Day Of Happiness: 10 Simple Tips to Be Happy Everyday

 The International Day of Happiness is celebrated annually on March 20th. This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 to recognize the importance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of people around the world.

The theme for International Day of Happiness 2023 is yet to be announced, but in previous years, themes have included "Happier Together" in 2022, "Keep Calm. Stay Wise. Be Kind" in 2021, and "Happier Together" in 2020.

The purpose of this day is to promote the idea that happiness is a fundamental human right and a goal that all people should strive for. It is also a reminder that happiness is not only important in its own right but can also contribute to building more peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable societies.
