With many of us placing a bigger focus on mental health than ever before, we're all taking steps to figure out what makes us happy. It could be meditation, running, yoga, team sports, knitting, cooking, reading or calling your nan - once you've found your niche, stick to it.
Given that 2020 hasn't turned out quite like we planned, we think a little dose of happiness is a must-have right now. Filling your surroundings with things that give you a daily reminder to chin up is a small step on the ladder to happiness, but it can make a difference.
Although International Happiness Day was on March 20, the theme runs for the whole year. This year's theme is Happier Together, focusing on what we have in common with others, rather than what divides us. Positivity is contagious, so smile at everyone you come into contact with (even if it's via FaceTime or 2m away), spend time doing what you love and, if you can, take some time to give back to those who are less fortunate.
If you need a little hand getting in touch with your own happiness (and we all do sometimes!), we've put together a list of products that will do just that. Then, you can sprinkle your happiness all over the place.
