Life can get stressful and we can get caught up in all the negative things that happen during our everyday life. So here is a list of 15 small joys that make life so much better:
-
Looking at the scenery when driving in the back of the car. Bonus: The sun shining through trees at your face.
-
The smell of freshly-cut grass.
-
That first bite of food after you have been hungrily waiting for it in a restaurant.
-
Seeing a stranger smile at their phone and knowing that they just received a nice message.
-
Watching a sunrise or sunset.
-
Keeping a journal on my phone using the app “DayOne” and the app reminding me every day what I did today two years and a year ago.
-
Doing a 10-minute organizing- and cleaning-session in your room and then being happy when everything looks a lot more neat.
-
Spending time with friends – whether that is cooking or watching a movie or going out.
-
Getting enough sleep – that is a big one! I don’t know about you, but I really cannot function without my sleep.
-
Checking things off of your to-do list.
-
Smelling fresh roses.

Laugh.
-
Get fresh air and take a walk outside. Bonus: having the afternoon sun warm your face on a cold winter day.
-
Yawning – it can feel so good to just yawn!
-
Thing about good memories.
This is just a short list of thing that can better your day, but I hope you can take the time to check off some of them!
