Happiness and Positivity

Life is all about learning and growing. Everyday influences the person you will be tomorrow. In life you seem to go through ups and downs, things change all the time. Some days are better than others, and some days you feel like you're on top of the world. People say that to achieve true happiness you must be happy with what you have today. I couldn't agree more with the statement. The thought that people are always chasing a better day, a better job, and a better life just baffles me. What is even more appalling is when people are always looking for the greener grass but do nothing about it. There is nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself and your life, but being happy with the one you have in the moment will help you achieve that. Great things do not come to people who just sit on their toochies watching Netflix everyday, and ordering UberEats. There are so many things you could be doing. Be a go-getter, a doer, a goal-setter, amphibious and work hard for what you want. Have a positive attitude everyday and try to look at the silver lining in every situation. If I could inspire even just one person in my life, that would truly be the greatest gift. You need to do what is best for you, and if the ones you love inspire you in any shape, way or form that is huge bonus. There are so many things you could do, little things everyday to help improve your life and remember how lucky you are just to be you!

When you wake up everyday, try to think positive thoughts. Think of what makes you happy, what you are grateful for and what you want to achieve today. It could be as little as having your meals prepped for the morning, or cleaning your room. 

Keep a positive Journal. At the end of each, write all the positive things you did that day. Write about things that made you happy, things that you learned or did and go back and read them from time to time.

Keep To-Do Lists. This is something I do every day. It keeps me productive and organized and makes sure everything I need to get done gets done and this helps me feel so accomplished at the end of the day! 

Exercise is so healthy for your overall health and has so many pyschological benefits as well. When have you ever done something active and felt like shit after? You release negative toxins from your body while keeping yourself in shape and full of energy! I have been trying to do at least 30 minutes every morning to keep me going and ready for the day ☺

Tune Out. Give yourself some you time everyday. Whether it is by yourself, with family or friends. Put your phone down and be present in the moment and enjoy it! It is amazing how great you feel when you don't have to worry for a while about work or other negative attributes of your everyday life.

Mostly, enjoy the simple little things and be grateful. There is a reason I chose to name my blog The Simple Little Things, because its those things that make life so great! The smell of a campfire on a summer night, a nice glass of Cab Sauv with good friends, the sound of popping champagne, the way it feels when my puppy gives me kisses, nights in with that special someone, and so much more. It's the little things that make your heart warm that makes life such a beautiful thing and we should never take those for granted. If you acknowledge them a little more every once in a while then what could make us happier. 

Cheers to another day, and new memories and lives filled with happy times and thoughts ...
