Today, August 1, we not only begin a new month but also celebrate World Joy Day. A special date on which we now want to let you know the largest number of facts and curiosities so you can celebrate it as it deserves.
Origin of World Joy Day

You have to go back in time, to the years 2010 and 2011, to find the origin of this World Day of Joy. And that is when, in the framework of the First Congress of Chilean Cultural Management, Alfonso Becerra presented a project to celebrate the day of joy.

Specifically, it established that, just as there were other dates that celebrated historical events, political or even religious and popular dates, it was necessary that this feeling had a special day. He considered that it was essential to keep joy in mind, to give it the value it deserved, to learn to live it and even to be able to extol the fact that it is an important benefit for the human being.

What things give us joy?

Each person may find joy in something different. However, it is clear that there are common things that fill us all with happiness and make us feel full. We are referring to aspects such as these:

• A caress, a hug or a kiss from a loved one.
• Listen to a “I love you” from someone we love.
• Recover from an illness or witness how an important person achieves it in our lives.
• Have a fun time with family or friends.
• A song that manages to raise our spirits.
• Remember the happiest moments of our life.

For Toldos Guardamar, joy consists in trying to make others happy. Being happy depends on us.
