Someone you know is turning 18! This is an important milestone in life. Turning 18 is the first legal declaration of becoming an adult, and it’s the starting point of deciding on life goals and possible careers. It can also be a time of self realization and a time where one takes on more responsibilities. The best thing you can do is wish this person a happy 18th birthday. Not only will this benefit the person having the birthday, it will benefit the birthday wisher as well for many reasons. Here we will look at why you should send happy 18th birthday wishes, benefits of happy 18th birthday wishes, and types of wishes to consider sending.
Why Should You Send Happy 18th Birthday Wishes?
There are several great reasons to send someone a birthday wish. Some may feel it’s proper etiquette; however you might find it it has more of an effect on both parties than you once thought.
Love and Care
The most important reason to send someone a birthday wish is to let them know you either love them or truly care about them.
Circle of Positivity
If you wish someone a happy birthday, there’s a good chance they will remember and send good wishes your way when your special day arrives. This causes a chain reaction and hopefully an abundance of positive interaction. It’s referred to as a circle of positivity because the goal is that wonderful messages will continue going around for as long as possible.
Energy Travels
Aside from actual words, energy travels back and forth and fills all space. Positive energy being passed back-and-forth fills any existing void and fills our space with warmth and happiness. When pure souls share feelings and wish positivity among each other, it establishes wholesomeness in surrounding spaces.
Well Begun Is Half Done
If you start your day by sending someone a positive message, that starts the day off for you and the recipient on a good note and allows both parties to further spread their positivity. The key here is beginning the day with a birthday wish to give the other person a full day of happiness. It’s also important to make sure it is completed on time and not forgotten, allowing you to feel a sense of accomplishment.
Benefits of Happy 18th Birthday Wishes
Enhanced Productivity
Birthday wishes produce good feelings. When you feel good and start your day with pep in your step, you can accomplish more. You might get more things done, or you may be more efficient at something in particular. Your increase in energy can also be contagious to the people you interact with. You can feel good from both giving and receiving a birthday wish, enhancing productivity all over the place.
Positive Thinking
If you send someone a birthday wish, typically you would send a positive, funny or happy message. Maybe you would even use a combination of all three. When you’re focusing on those things, often negative feelings start to dissipate and may even go away altogether. Since the human brain tends to either think about the positive or the negative, you’re essentially coaching your brain into thinking happy thoughts when birthday messages are sent or received.
What We Give Comes Back Multiplied
This is something many believe as a universal law of nature. When you spread positive messages on birthdays, positive messages will come back to you on your day of celebration; and hopefully multiplied! All in all, good thoughts, harmony and happiness are being spread back and forth and all around. Showing love and respect earns you the same right back, plus some extra.
Aura of Happiness
It can be said that the aura of happiness is contagious. However someone chooses to spend their birthday; whether it be by singing, cutting a cake, opening cards and presents or making wishes, all surrounding people can participate in the joy that’s occurring. The happiness can come from giving, but it can also be from knowing the birthday person received your message. Happiness can also stem from simply being with them on a special day.
Leaders Celebrate
Things like birthday wishes take someone from a boring, every day routine life and introduces them to a world full of fun and celebration. When we celebrate success, it shows the characteristic of leadership. Some people don’t consider themselves to be leaders, however if they find they take initiative and bring celebration, fun and wishes to the table, it’s their own way of showing how they can lead. This amplifies energy levels and happiness resulting in either an increase of energy levels.
Relationship Strengthening
Human beings crave socialization. Greeting, meeting and celebrating with friends, family and the community make relationships strong and sturdy. It creates an opportunity for bonding with people and a learning experience on giving and accepting support. Overall, it helps give balance to work life and makes all types of relationships stronger.
