the simple pleasures...

Sometimes life is a real kick in the gut. Nothing’s stable and nothing’s guaranteed. That’s why we have to live open to change. Something that’s a huge priority in your life the one minute, could be altered to something entirely different the next. There are certain things though- if you step back from all the hustle and bustle- that are eternally constant. They are the moments we take to appreciate the world around us without thinking of anything else. My advice to you is to consider these and take advantage whilst you can. Because really, the best things in life are free. My favourites:

  • Sleep in on a rainy day
  • People watch
  • Climb your roof
  • Gaze at a beautiful view
  • Lay on grass as the sun warms your skin
  • Stand outside when it’s drizzling, with your face towards the sky [you may spin around if you like :)]
  • Dance in the rain and stomp in puddles.
  • Watch the sunrise/sunset.
  • Walk on the beach
  • Watch the ocean
  • Take a nature hike
  • Swim at night
  • Watch it snow

So, remember to take a time out every now and again, especially if you feel like it’s all getting too much. Is all the stress really worth it at the end of the day?

Stop typing, hang up, walk away and have your moment.
