Wishing happiness to others is an effective tool for improving your mood. “Distributing” happiness to others is a benevolent approach to openness, and a powerful lever for feeling better. Walking around and offering kindness to others reduces anxiety and increases happiness and a sense of social connection. We feel happier, more connected to others, more caring and empathetic, and also less anxious. It's a simple strategy that doesn't take much time and can be integrated into daily activities. Comparing yourself to others makes you more anxious. Social comparison is a competitive strategy that runs counter to well-being. Competitive mindsets are associated with stress, anxiety and depression.
