INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS

20th March 2023

In assembly today  we spoke about our Newburgh values, in particular being  'Happy and Healthy', as today is International Day of Happiness.
 

How Can We Make Happiness a Priority in Our Life?

  • spend time with people who make us feel good, we trust and who treat us and our feelings with kindness and respect;
  • choose to do activities that make us feel good and keep our bodies healthy;

  • choose to do activities that help us feel calm, relaxed and settled;

  • talk about our feelings with an adult we trust if we are struggling for any reason at all and ask for help;

  • learn new things and say yes to new opportunities and experiences;

  • learn to love and appreciate the person we are and not try to be like anyone else.

  • make time to say thank you and be grateful for the positive things in our life;

  • help and be kind to others
 
How Can We Help Others to Feel Good on the Inside?
 
  • Value and appreciate who they are and respect how they choose to live their life;
  • live in a way that is considerate to others and the world we all share
  • smile at them :-)

  • listen to their thoughts, ideas and feelings;

  • include them in things we are doing;
