    Journée internationale du bonheur

    by Guest Author March 19, 2025
    written by Guest Author

    La bibliothèque a invité Heather Ritz, assistante sociale communautaire auprès de Wellness Supports (uab.ca/wellness), à partager ses réflexions sur la Journée internationale du bonheur à l’Université de l’Alberta.  

    Le 20 mars est la Journée internationale du bonheur. En cette période de l’année où les pressions sont fortes, il est légitime de se demander pourquoi célébrer le bonheur. Est-il vraiment possible dans ce contexte ? N’est-ce qu’une platitude? Cependant, je pense qu’il est essentiel de rappeler le rôle du bonheur dans nos vies, surtout en période difficile.

    Dans notre quotidien, le bonheur ne doit pas être une simple réaction aux événements positifs, car des défis se présenteront toujours. Le bonheur basé uniquement sur les bonnes choses est une notion assez limitée. Au contraire, il existe des actions concrètes qui nous aident à traverser l’adversité de manière bénéfique.

    Des événements pour explorer et pratiquer le bonheur :

    À partir du 1er mars, Days of Action organisera des événements pour explorer et pratiquer le bonheur. Je vous invite à y participer.

    • Le bonheur se cultive à travers des relations significatives. Nommez une personne qui a contribué à votre bonheur pour le Prix du bonheur, ouvert jusqu’au 19 mars à midi. 
    • Explorez le lien entre le bien-être physique et social et le bonheur à Climb Up, Cheer Up : 20 mars 
    • Découvrez comment les médicaments peuvent créer des voies cérébrales favorisant un bonheur durable Cultivating Happiness: Insights from Mind, Brain, and Beyond: 21 mars

    Le 20 mars, nous lancerons notre troisième collection Happiness Reflected : Creative Expressions avec 20 œuvres explorant différentes facettes du bonheur. Cette collection invite à réfléchir sur la paix, retrouver la joie de l’enfance et les efforts personnels pour mener une vie authentique.

    La collection sera accompagnée du volume 3 de notre livre numérique et de la troisième saison de notre podcast. Tous disponibles sur notre site et dans les bibliothèques des campus. Le podcast discutera des actions fondées sur des données probantes concernant le bonheur avec les artistes de la collection.

    Suggestions supplémentaires : 

    • Lisez les volumes 1 et 2 de Happiness Reflected dans nos archives numériques.
    • Écoutez les saisons précédentes du podcast Happiness Reflected disponible sur Aviary ou d’autres plateformes.

    The Library invited Heather Ritz, Community Social Worker with Wellness Supports (uab.ca/wellness) to share her reflections about the International Day of Happiness at the University of Alberta.  March 20 is International Day of Happiness, and given the time of year, you may be wondering why on earth we would celebrate happiness as end-of-term pressures are mounting.
