Why not download this month’s Action for Happiness calendar to remind you to appreciate the little things in life and find out how they help with your positivity and wellbeing!

Each day they give you a little task to try and complete. It could be anything from ‘Do something meaningful for someone’ to ‘Share an inspirational quote’.  It’s a fun way to keep us busy daily and to give our brains a break.

You can watch the Altruistic August video HERE where Action For Happiness’s, Vanessa King, gives advice on how to make life happier and more fulfilling.

Altruism is characterised as selflessness to promote someone else’s welfare. Those who are altruistic
typically put others first and care about the people around them.

Altruism brings more of a deeper meaning to our lives, when we see people helping each other, it inspires us to do the same. Acts of kindness can improve the feelings of confidence, happiness and optimism.

Here are just a few ways you can get involved with Altruistic August:

– Find a way to “pay it forward” or support a good cause.
– Do something kind to help in your local community.
– Ask someone how they feel and really listen to their reply.
– Check in with someone who may be lonely or feeling anxious.
