In light of Monday's post I wanted to create a fun list of all things that make me happy. We are all so beautiful and so unique. Everyone was created for a different purpose; that is to live your own best life. Not anyone else's.
So perfection stemming from comparison doesn't get us to the place of happiness or living well. I find that when I am in a place of want want want I need to shift my mindset and think about what I have, what I love, and what truly makes me happy. So here it is in no particular order; my happy list:
Puppy tail wags and sloppy kisses
Savoring a delicious meal that you dream about for days after
Completing a tough workout and feeling so strong after
Coffee
Journaling in the early mornings
Long walks with friends [and Finn]
Popcorn and M&M's at the movies
A gorgeous sunset
Running a race
Standing in front of a vast view [mountains or beach] that creates wonder and awe and that feeling of being small
Feeling creative and inspired
An outfit, make up, and hair that makes you feel like you can take on the world
Completing a tough project
Wine & Cheese
The look on a child's face when they learn something new and do it all by themselves
Lovely conversations with girlfriends
Traveling to a new place and truly getting to explore
Learning about people; their stories, their culture, their daily life
Creating something delicious in the kitchen while drinking wine and chatting about life with my man
Being engrossed in a really good book
Getting something at a really good price [clothes, furniture, fun items] I love a deal!
A beautiful yoga practice
Green plants making living spaces warm, homey, and beautiful
Laughing until you cry
I could probably sit here all day and brainstorm more and more happy things. Once you start thinking of one more pop in your head - it's a really great practice to lift your spirits and help you realize living your best life means doing more of what makes you happy. I intend to incorporate more of my list above into my daily routine to continue to strive for health and happiness!
What are some things that make you happy?
