I've decided I'm starting a regular series called It's the Little Things Thursday.It will be a compiled reflection on the little joys I find in everyday life. Sometimes it may only be a couple things, sometimes it may be a lot. I'm thinking it'll be an every other week thing, but we'll see :)
I find a big part of being happy is enjoying the everyday, not just the big occasions, vacations, or celebrations.
I've noticed myself feeling anxious and discontent again lately so I've needed to remind myself the virtues of positivity and seeking happiness from within.
Going to the gym, working, still working, cooking dinner, catching up on emails,running errands and doing chores. This is how most of our days are spent.
Sometimes those are not the most thrilling or fun ways to spend our time so I think stopping to enjoy and savor the small but maybe not so insignificant things in our days that make us smile is a good thing.
After all, all the little things which make us happy add up!
Here's some of the little things lately that have made me smile or brightened my day, even if just for a moment!
Finding a yummy snack in my purse. Yes, I even like pumpkin in the summer!
Spoonful(s) of almond butter with mini chocolate chips a la Julie after dinner.
New headbands from bondiband just in time for marathon training!
