Why do people celebrate their birthdays? What's the point of having a birthday?

On my birthday, I saw cakes, candles and blessings sent by friends and relatives around me, which was so different from ordinary days. While we are waiting, even if we know the arrival of that day, we will be full of expectations for the future, so we can be mentally prepared for this day during this time.

Life needs a sense of ceremony. If life is compared to a road, then the birthday is a milestone on the road, which records how far it has gone and makes people look forward to the distance when they see the milestone in the distance.

2. Excitation effect

Cognitive psychology believes that when people are stimulated by a specific stimulus, they will have corresponding changes to other stimuli. We usually see a cake, but we have no special feeling about it except food. On our birthday, when we saw the cake, it was more than just food for us.

3. People need a sense of belonging.

Birthdays don't need too many people to bless us. People who are not close to us don't need to attend birthday parties. So on my birthday, I also hope to find my own place in this way, and see from the people involved that I am not alone. Therefore, during the birthday, we can find people we trust and find our own small space.

The benefits of birthdays

When it's your birthday, look how far you've come since you were born. By calculating the date, I can see that so many days have passed. Feel the length of life from numbers.

By reviewing the way of re-offering, I saw the traces of my efforts and my growth. I think of climbing the mountain with my friends, the first time I went out of town, the first time I looked for a job … I felt the thickness of life from my memories.

Birthday is a special day for you. I will be full of expectations for this day, and I will feel happy because of the blessings and gifts that will happen on my birthday, thus affecting my attitude towards life. By recording reminders, you can also strengthen your feelings and feel the growth and happiness brought by your birthday.
