Celebrate International Day of Joy with Joy

Joy is one of the most positive emotions of human beings that is expressed through laughter or expressions that convey the pleasure felt by a person when receiving good news, experiencing a good event in company with friends or feeling fulfilled by some event.

According to specialists, being happy helps regulate stress and when a person laughs, it causes the release of adrenaline and endorphins, hormones responsible for reducing stress, and it also contributes to the human being having a better opinion of themselves, which increases self-esteem and the willingness to face problems.

There are numerous reasons for a human being to feel happy. When receiving a caress, a hug, good news, achieving success in life, both professional and personal, overcoming an illness and many other reasons.

Precisely we should reflect on the importance of keeping this beautiful and healthy feeling in mind at every moment of life and its transformative power, Colombian Alfonso Becerra, during the first Congress of Cultural Management in Chile, 2010, proposed the creation of this anniversary.

Many world personalities have expressed their opinions on this feeling and now we must remember, for example, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), a prominent German writer and philosopher said that “It is good to have joy at home and not need to look for it outside.”

For his part, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), a great scientist who invented the lightning rod, among other instruments, said: “Joy is the philosopher's stone that turns everything into gold.” In turn, Charles Dickens (1812-1870), a famous English writer, considered “there is nothing in the world as irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”

 In short, the list of celebrities who have given their opinion on the subject would be endless, so today we urge you to leave your problems behind and brighten up your face with a smile, because remember that we only have one life.
