Prompt

What Made You Happy Today?

Pause and think about today. Not major milestones or life goals. Just something small that made you smile, feel lighter, or breathe a little easier.

Use your camera or phone to capture one moment from today that brought you happiness.

Your image can be:

  • Ordinary or fleeting
  • Centered on people, places, or objects
  • Completely unstaged
  • Simple and imperfect

Trust your instinct. If it made you feel something, it belongs.

Submit your photograph along with a short reflection describing:

  • What was happening in this moment
  • Why it brought you happiness
  • What you noticed when you paused to capture it

International Day of Happiness is celebrated globally on March 20th. This showcase begins one month earlier.

Happiness is not confined to a single day. It is built through daily noticing, attention, and shared reflection.

From February 20th through March 20th, participants around the world are invited to document one small moment of happiness from their everyday lives. Together, these images form a living archive of global well-being in practice.

Every submitted photograph will be featured.

There will be no judging, ranking, or prizes.

This is not a competition. It is a collective celebration.

All photos will be displayed on screens at:

  • On screens at TecMilenio University
  • On screens at Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México
  • During the 5th Mexican Congress of Positive Psychology, organized by Sociedad Mexicana de Psicología Positivaon March 20–21

Participants will see their everyday moments of happiness shared in academic and professional spaces dedicated to advancing the science and practice of well-being.

When people pause to document happiness, they strengthen attention to positive experience. When those images are shared publicly, they broaden the cultural understanding of what happiness looks like.

This showcase demonstrates that happiness is not rare, dramatic, or reserved for special occasions. It is practiced daily.

Pregunta

¿Qué te ha hecho feliz hoy?

Haz una pausa y piensa en el día de hoy. No se trata de buscar gandes logros ni metas. Sólo es notar algo pequeño que te haya hecho sonreír, sentirte más contento o respirar un poco más tranquilo.

Usa tu cámara o tu teléfono para capturar un momento que te haya hecho feliz hoy.

Tu imagen puede ser:

  • Común y corriente o fugaz
  • Centrada en personas, lugares u objetos
  • Completamente espontánea
  • Sencilla e imperfecta

Confía en tu instinto. Si lo que viste te ha hecho sentir algo, la foto es valiosa.

Envía tu fotografía junto con una breve reflexión en la que describas:

  • Qué estaba pasando en ese momento
  • Por qué te hizo feliz eso
  • Qué notaste cuando te detuviste para capturar la imagen

Día Internacional de la Felicidad se celebra en todo el mundo el 20 de marzo. Esta muestra de fotos comienza un mes antes.

La felicidad no se limita a un solo día. Se construye a través de la observación diaria, la atención y la reflexión compartida.

Desde el 20 de febrero hasta el 20 de marzo, se invita a participantes de todo el mundo a documentar un pequeño momento de felicidad de su vida cotidiana. Juntas, estas imágenes forman un archivo vivo del bienestar en la práctica a nivel global.

Se mostrarán todas las fotografías enviadas.

No habrá jueces, clasificaciones ni premios.

No se trata de un concurso, sino de una celebración colectiva.

Todas las fotos se mostrarán en pantallas en:

  • En pantallas del ITAM 
  • En pantallas de la Universidad TecMilenio 
  • Durante el V Congreso Mexicano de Psicología Positiva de la SMPP

el 20 y 21 de marzo

Los participantes verán sus momentos cotidianos de felicidad compartidos en espacios académicos y profesionales dedicados a promover la ciencia y la práctica del bienestar.

Cuando las personas se detienen para documentar la felicidad, refuerzan su atención a las experiencias positivas. Cuando esas imágenes se comparten públicamente, amplían la comprensión cultural de lo que es la felicidad.

Esta exposición demuestra que la felicidad no es algo raro, dramático ni reservado para ocasiones especiales. La felicidad se practica todos los días.
