It always has been and always will be the little things in life that mean the most. Sure, lavish vacations, important occasions, promotions, or new jobs are fun and exciting, but taking a moment to appreciate the easily overlooked aspects of your day-to-day life is priceless.
So, how can we make sure we are prepared to enjoy all of the little things?
Don’t think of it as a cliché. We’ve all heard it before: “Enjoy the little things.” After the 20th time, the phrase seems meaningless. However, don’t think of it as just a saying, but instead, embrace the luxuries in your life that you often forget, like that feeling when you slide into your bed after a long day. Someone purchasing your coffee is a true act of kindness — be sure to be thankful and reflect upon it. Taking the time to feel gratitude, no matter how tiny the reason, can promote satisfaction even when things don’t turn out how you’d hoped. Wake up a tad earlier. While it sounds disgruntling to wake up even a minute earlier than you have to, giving yourself the extra time in the morning allows you to pay closer attention to the small things. Instead of focusing on problems or negativity in your life, appreciate all that is good while not having to rush through your morning to get to work on time. Get outside. Whether you take a walk or just sit outside, stepping out of your usual space allows you to take pleasure in your natural world. Not only does getting some fresh air relieve stress and promote positivity, but the sunlight can also boost your mood. Even if it’s just a walk around the block, taking the time to appreciate friendly neighbors, trees, pretty weather, or just your ability and freedom to roam is a great way to keep your thoughts in the present and awaken curiosity and creativity. The key is to not only notice them in retrospect. Get out there and see which of life’s small miracles you can embrace today!
