Humanity
Humanity is one of the Big Six core happiness virtues. It's about appreciating and looking out for other people. Taking action to grow the following personal strengths will add to your happiness.
Citizenship
Being part of a team or a group, and finding a place in our society, helps us to bond with the rest of the world. Why not look at an evening class or a group that fits in with your interests. There's likely to be an on-line community for almost any interest, whether it's fish-keeping or capoeira.
Forgiveness
Show forgiveness to people. After all, you make mistakes too. You're all part of the same world. Maybe that shop assistant who snapped at you is having a really bad day today.
Kindness
Kindness is a gentle strength. Showing kindness and generosity is a way of showing that you love and appreciate other people. You'll feel good if you give something to charity, even if it's a book you've read or clothes you don't want to wear again.
Loving
Be proud to show love and affection, and let yourself be loved. Go on, you know that love makes the world go round, whether it's family, friends or strangers. Building connections makes us human.
Phoning or emailing someone you haven't seen for a while will feel really good.
