March to Happiness with #HappyActs

Research shows that happiness is an incredibly important part of life and should never be dismissed. Happy people tend to be more successful, live longer, have better connections with family and friends, miss less work and donate more.

This month, Live Happy magazine will once again launch its mission to lead a global movement to make the world a happier place with its 3rd annual campaign in honor of the UN-sanctioned International Day of Happiness (March 20), inviting everyone –including residents of Thurston County– to spread joy and simple acts of kindness both in person and online. This year, Live Happy is kicking off a month-long ‘March to Happiness,’ which provides an easy, accessible way for participants to manifest the happiness movement and make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of those around them.

As part of the ‘March to Happiness,’ Live Happy encourages participants to share #HappyActs, small actions with a BIG impact that can make someone’s day a little brighter, online via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. #HappyActs can be as simple as a hug, a kind word, helping a neighbor or inspiring others to build awareness get involved in the movement leading up to International Day of Happiness.

Participants are also welcomed to post their #HappyActs at one of 100 Happiness Walls that will be set up across the country, including Olympia Washington Live Happy will donate $1 to Big Brothers Big Sisters* for each #HappyActs shared at a Happiness Wall
