Life is truly about all the little things that give us unexpected happiness. You know, that bar of chocolate that your friend passed on to you, or an out-of-the-blue compliment from a stranger. We decided to start the week with a dash of positivity. So if you are looking for a reason to celebrate life, here’s a list of all the little things that truly bring us happiness.
1. Waking up with a smile to the warm sun rays that fall on your face. Proof of a bright and sunny day ahead.
2. A long, heart-warming conversation with an old friend who has migrated to another country that makes you feel like there is no distance at all.
3. A stranger smiling at you when you are rushing to reach your workplace in time.
4. The smell of fresh flowers while you walk past that beautiful garden every day.
5. Finding money in the pocket of your pants that you don’t remember putting there, even if it’s just 100 bucks.
6. A 10-minute massage by your friend / colleague or by your partner / lover who knows exactly what will get you to relax.
7. Walking into a clean and tidy home at the end of the day and crashing on a bed that has crisp, clean sheets.
8. Cuddling in bed with your loved one.
9. That good night kiss that makes you think that life is good.
10. A stimulating conversation.
11. Playing with a child who instantly likes you.
12. Learning something new even if it is as simple as depositing money in the bank or fixing the light bulb.
13. Spending time with your pet. Animal therapy at its best.
14. Compliments from a stranger.
15. Helping someone in need and realising you feel so much better about yourself because you did.
16. Remembering the good, old days and laughing out loud.
17. That smell of freshly baked cake, wet mud, flowers, or biryani on the stove. Ah, that enticing aroma!
18. A warm hug. From a friend, an acquaintance or a dear family member.
19. Sneaking some ‘me’ time into a busy day, even if just a few minutes.
20. A long, relaxing shower that leaves you refreshed and energised.
21. Waking up earlier than usual and realising you’ve got a few more minutes to snooze.
22. Reading that book you have wanted to get your hands on for so long.
23. Wearing something new and attracting loads of compliments.
24. Watching the sunrise or sunset and feeling the calmness it brings with it.
25. Listening to your favourite songs play on the radio, or a song you loved but haven’t heard in a really long time.
26. Cooking yourself a nourishing meal and relishing it.
27. Your profile picture on Facebook becoming the talk of the town.
28. Holding your partner’s hand while walking in the street.
29. Being appreciated for absolutely anything.
30. Empty roads while travelling to work, or a seat in the bus or train.
31. And lastly, leaving the office while it’s still bright outside. True happiness.
