Among the countless national days that occupy our monthly calendars, one certainly worth celebrating is the International Day of Happiness. On Friday, March 20, let’s refocus our attention on the importance of bringing happiness to those around us. Even one small act of kindness can completely transform another person’s day and yours too! We’re sharing three easy ways to spread joy as well as a few of Lennar’s Miami-Dade communities to serve as beautiful backdrops for all your demonstrations of love.
1.Buy gifts!
A wonderful way to put a smile on someone’s face is by giving gifts. Simply taking a few minutes out of your day to find the perfect present will show how much you care for your loved ones and can greatly improve their mood. Imagine the excitement on your barbecue-loving dad’s face when you reveal his brand-new grill. He’ll hurry to show off his skills, especially if you live in Campo Bello in Miami, where oversized backyards are an important feature in every single-family home and twin-home. For mom, consider her favorite trends in home décor. A timeless piece to display in your new home’s open-concept interiors will brighten mom’s day and demonstrate your deep appreciation for her style.
In addition, parents can use this opportunity to teach their children about giving back to the community. Help the kids pick out some extra clothes, toys, or daily essentials for someone in need and drop them off at your local donation center. Not only will you make a stranger happy, your family will also experience a sense of fulfillment knowing they did a good deed.
2. Surprise friends and family with a special gesture.
Another way to spread happiness is by doing something exciting your friends and family may not expect. Perhaps, you can create a homemade video to reminisce about old memories and express how much you value their company. Putting together this token of love will only be easier with Lennar’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs, which deliver enhanced connectivity from any part of the home. When the video is ready for the big showing, Landmark, a new community of townhomes and condos in Doral, offers an open-air amphitheater, so your loved ones can enjoy an unforgettable viewing experience.
If you want to take your surprise a step further, Landmark is a great place to plan an entire day of fun activities. Start off with an invigorating tennis match, then cool off at the clubhouse, where a resort-style pool and kid’s water park boast plenty of relaxation opportunities and water games for guests of all ages. At the end of the day, gather in the rooftop lounge to mingle and sip on refreshments. After all, an endorphin boost from the day’s laughs and exercise will certainly leave you and your loved ones feeling much happier.
3. Reignite your self-love!
To be a beacon of joy for others, it is important to first take care of yourself. Increasing your confidence and inner joy will ultimately encourage healthy relationships, but it all starts with some well-deserved “me” time. For those who find the art of cooking therapeutic, The Riviera, a townhome and single-family home community in Homestead, will inspire delicious creations with its chef-inspired kitchens and premium stainless steel appliances (part of Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® package).
Then, once you’ve satisfied your appetite, spend the rest of the day enjoying exclusive community amenities. Unwind with a meditation session by the lake, recharge and destress in the state-of-the-art fitness center, or indulge in a poolside spa day. Fully pampered, you’ll emanate joy wherever you are.
With three easy ways to celebrate, you’re ready to make the most of this special day and, hopefully, many more days to come. If our Lennar communities sparked your interest, come visit one of our Welcome Home Centers and discover a lifetime of happiness!
