Contest; Happy Moments

Hello, my wonderful friends; how are you all doing? I am so happy to participate in the contest titled Happy Moment, and I also want to thank @sahmie for the amazing contest.

Happy moments are the times we feel joy and pleasure, it is a Time one feels inner happiness.

What was one of your happiest childhood memories, and why does it stand out to you?

My happiest childhood was when I was in primary 3 when I got first position, I was very happy, because then anyone that got the first position in our school always went home with a big gift, so I was very happy, and my mum also promised to kill one fowl for me if I got the first position, so that day was the happiest moment I had in my childhood.

Can you share a recent happy moment that made you feel grateful?

The recent happy moment that made me feel grateful, was the day that my state governor gave me the scholarship to do my masters in the UK, I was so happy and at the same time grateful to God and our governor because I have been dreaming of traveling out of my country for so long and finally God answered my prayers, so that moment I saw the notification that I have been given Scholarship I was so grateful and overjoyed.

How do you think happy moments can impact our overall well-being and mental health?

Being happy every time determines how healthy you will be because when you are not happy, and you are always sad, there is a possibility that you will start suffering from a heart attack, high blood pressure, and another sickness.

Happiness plays a vital role in our overall well-being and mental health because when you are happy your body will release an enzyme called
Endorphins help to reduce stress and tiredness.

Do you believe that happiness is a choice? Why or why not?

Happiness is not a choice, because it comes freely without anyone asking it to come.
None of us can choose how to feel at any moment; we can only control our emotions through our thoughts and behaviors.

How do you cope with difficult times to ensure you still find moments of happiness?

Whenever I am passing through a difficult time, I always try everything possible in my power to be happy because I was once told by my mum that I should never allow my difficult times to overcome to my happiness, that my happiness should always be my priority.

Finally, I want to use this opportunity to invite some of my friends to participate in this wonderful contest @simonnwigwe @josepha @bonvature24
