In our age of overwork, stress, social isolation, time pressure and exhaustion, it is increasingly important to know what fills you back up again, what makes you smile, what brings joy and happiness into your life.
What does happiness look like to you? If you don’t know, make it your mission to find out, and then make a list to put on your refrigerator, mirror, or somewhere you can be often reminded of these things and their importance in your life.
This is some of what happiness looks like to me:
♥ Browsing in bookshops, and finding some new treasure to take home.
♥ A shared meal with friends
♥ Going to the movies to see something on the big screen
♥ Wandering through the markets
♥ Travelling to new places and soaking up the atmosphere
♥ Losing myself in a book
♥ Hugs
♥ Time in nature
♥ Swimming in the ocean
♥ A cup of tea with friends
♥ Working on my book
♥ Snuggling up in bed with the one I love – or family cuddles
♥ Baking, and sharing my creations with others!
Life’s too short not to include lots of the things you love. Happiness is a choice. Remember to enjoy the journey. Much love to you ♥ xx
