    It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness and stress of life that we often forget to find reasons to smile. Here are ten wonderful reasons to be happy today.

    Life can be hard. It’s a simple fact. Maybe you’re going through a breakup, are facing a period of grief, or are just really struggling to keep up with everything right now. 

    That’s okay. Even the happiest person alive faces difficult times when they feel down. So, if you need a reason to smile today, then you’ve come to the right place.

    Today, we’re giving you a rundown of ten wonderful reasons to be happy today, so you can increase the happiness levels in your everyday life.

    10. Today is full of endless opportunities – remain hopeful

    No matter what came before, just remember that today is a new day full of possibilities. As Anne of Green Gables said, “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”

    Maybe you said something you didn’t mean, or you did something embarrassing. Focusing on tomorrow and remembering that you always have a chance to start anew is one of the best reasons to be happy today.

    9. Someone offered you help when you needed it – believe in the good

    Sometimes it can feel like the whole world is against us. When we feel like this, it is important to remember the times when people treated us with kindness. 

    Focusing on these happy people can help us feel more positive and hopeful for the world around us.

    8. The natural world – a beautiful resource

    The natural world is absolutely amazing, and we are so lucky to live in it. Getting out in nature is a fantastic way to embrace a grateful heart. So, step outside and make the most of it!

    7. You have a roof over your head – something we should feel grateful for

    No matter how hard you found it to get out of bed this morning, it is important to remember how lucky you are to actually have a bed that is hard to leave.

    Having a comfortable bed and a roof over your head is something that not everyone has access to. So, use the power of gratitude and start your day by saying thank you for this.

    6. You’re going in the right direction – a brighter future is on the way

    Sometimes we can feel stuck with where we are in life, wondering if we’re doing the right things and making the right decisions.

    Attainable goal setting has plenty of fantastic mental health benefits, and trusting ourselves that we’re on the right track is one way to help us feel happy.

    5. You have food to eat – a huge privilege

    If you have been lucky enough to eat today, then you are among the most privileged people in the world. Millions of people around the world face hunger and starvation, so having access to food is something we should feel grateful for.

    Having food every day – and even food you like – is undoubtedly one of the reasons to be happy today.

    4. Being unhappy is just a waste of time – you have the power to control how you feel

    None of us have control over the world around us or external factors that impact our lives. Negative people tend to focus on the darker aspects, while positive people focus on the light.

    No matter your situation, there is joy to be found if you look for it. So, being unhappy is really just a waste of time that is making your current situation a million times worse than it needs to be.

    3. You are alive – how cool is that?!

    According to scientists, the chances of being born are around one in 400 trillion. So, even by just being here, you have defeated the odds. How cool is that?

    You get the chance to experience all the wonderful things that being alive has to offer. So, if you start feeling grateful for that simple fact, then you are sure to live a happier life.

    2. Animals exist – we’re so lucky to have animals

    If you’re looking for a reason to smile today, then just Google ‘cute animals‘, and we’re sure you’ll be feeling much happier in no time.

    Maybe you have a pet of your own who brings plenty of joy into your life. Go give them a cuddle, and you’ll soon feel like the happiest person alive.

    1. The people you love – one of our favourite reasons to be happy
