Action for happiness hopes we have an altruistic August

Action for Happiness hopes to spread selfless goodwill next month, with its ‘Altruistic August’ action calendar.

The movement publishes monthly calendars, offering daily affirmations on the theme of the respective month. ‘Altruistic August’ follows other recent calendars, including ‘Jump Back July’, ‘Joyful June’, ‘Meaningful May’ and ‘Active April’.

Suggestions for this month include the following:

• Decide to be kind to others (and yourself) all this month.
• Offer your seat, give way, or hold the door open for others.
• Take a friend on a spontaneous adventure.
• Try to bring a smile to as many people as possible today.
• Sign up to be an organ donor or give blood.
