History

The history of Act Happy Day begins in 2004 when Dr. Anderson took the initiative to establish the holiday. He was a skilled surgeon who studied human biomechanics. Much attention was paid to the relationship between a person’s emotional state and their physical health, as well as many personal qualities. He found that people who smile and laugh more often are better at handling stressful situations, are more approachable, and are more liked by the people around them.

One popular theory was that you should intentionally impose a feeling of happiness on yourself. Even if you feel bad, sad, depressed, guilty, etc., make yourself feel happy. Direct your entire mental focus toward that. The doctor claimed that this psychological technique really helps to lift your spirits and make you feel better.
