Happiness Happens This Month–Here’s How!

Happiness happens more easily than you may think!

August is, officially, “Happiness Happens” Month, which is a time to focus on making changes to increase your levels of happiness and life satisfaction. As a way to help you make the most of the month, I’ll be sending resources throughout the month to help you learn to assess your current level of happiness and see where changes can be made. I’ll also help you to discover what will increase your happiness and how happiness and resilience to stress are connected.

For starters, one way to feel happier right now is to savor one of your best memories or to vividly imagine one thing in your life that you’re especially grateful to have. Additionally, here are Five Ways to Be Happier, and you can find more in-depth information, strategies, and plan templates in my book, 8 Keys to Stress Management. (It’s Key 7.)

In addition, I’d like to share some fun ways to promote happiness in your life from Pamela Gail Johnson, founder of the Secret Society of Happy People and originator of this monthly observance. She has some really fun activities to help you connect with others and with your inner child.

For more stress relief support and information, you can read my articles on Verywell.com, visit my site Daily Piece of Peace, and “like” my Facebook page for regular stress relief resources.
