An everyday smile keeps the blues at bay!

You’ve probably noticed that smiling instantly elevates your mood and reduces sadness no matter what. Therefore, why not share smiles this Diwali?

Therefore, why not share smiles this Diwali? It is simple to complete, and we should learn the easy ways to spread smiles because they are contagious and beneficial to our health.

1) Happiness, or sweetness, comes in small packages

Yes, that’s accurate. Buy some candy and distribute it to young people in need. Do you know what you ought to do next right away? Just look at them! You won’t regret it; in fact, you’ll enjoy how happy they’ll be and how they’ll smile! Therefore, adding sweetness when delivering sweets will go a long way!

2) Let’s go shopping

But hold on! We were discussing sharing smiles! How does shopping contribute to that? Well! There is a twist! Nearly everyone goes shopping, so why not go and get new clothing for those in need while also considering the winter season? Just give them those. 

For someone, it may be a moment of fulfillment. This straightforward yet admirable deed has the power to alter someone’s life and outlook on life completely.

3) Everyone smiles as they eat.

The simplest solution is to give hungry people food. Give food rations to impoverished families so they can feed their kids and themselves well. Nobody should ever have to go hungry, especially at a festival.

4) Inspire and give hope.

Giving hope to someone when they might be feeling hopeless is a compassionate deed. You can do it by aiding someone in their therapy by organizing the needed meds, which might provide new life. What other act could be considered nobler than saving a life?

5) Saving a life with a pint of blood

You can also donate blood, which will save up to three lives, and blood itself cannot even be replaced. Just visualize blessings flowing your way and make the intention that no one will ever pass away from lack of blood.

6) Support wildlife and birds

Why limit the distribution of smiles to people? Let’s assist all God’s creatures. Providing food and water for animals and grains for birds is a simple but efficient way to ensure their survival. You could even keep doing it regularly.

7) Commit to organ donation

You can continue serving posthumously after you pass away by vowing to donate your organs, such as your eyes. Being able to help others even after you pass away would make your life very happy.

Now, the question is, how many of these deeds are practical? 

Let us bust your bubble and say all of them can be done. If a 12-year-old can be kind every single day, you can too. This Diwali, all we want is for you to ignite the light within yourself and not just in your surroundings. 

Let the Lights of Joy shine throughout the world.

It all comes down to understanding our limitless potential and eliminating ignorance. Diwali also celebrates the birth of knowledge brought about by the illumination of the soul, which is the inner light.

According to Vedanta, a sincere Hindu must ignite the candle of his heart with the knowledge of Truth, fill it with the oil of love, and slay ignorance. It also says we can ignite many souls, just like a candle can light many others.
