History

Beginning as a kind of religious observation, National Forgiveness & Happiness Day was founded by Robert Moyers and the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance. With the idea that forgiveness is an important part of people having the ability to love each other, this day encourages individuals to be more loving, kind and accepting of others while they forgive past hurts.

Healing damaged relationships and finding freedom, this day is meant to raise awareness for and foster understanding around the topics of forgiveness, peace, joy and love.

Research has shown that people who practice forgiveness may be healthier than those who hold onto grudges or become bitter. Forgiveness can lead to attractive results like improved mental health, less stress and anxiety, fewer depression symptoms, lower blood pressure, a stronger immune system and so much more.

National Forgiveness & Happiness Day offers the ideal opportunity to work on relationships with others (or yourself) that can bring a huge amount of freedom and happiness in the long run.
