Sometimes its the little things in life that matter most. Like hot cocoa, or a sunset, or a note from someone, or a hug. Some of these things are in your control, others are not. But if you live with intentionality, and bring joy to others through small gestures, it will come back to you in beautiful ways. The key is to appreciate the little things. Not to make a mountain out of a molehill, necessarily, but to appreciate the small niceties of life. And to choose joy and gratitude. When we allow our mind to dwell on the positive things, our attitude improves and our serenity is increased.
Building this gratitude muscle makes a habit and this habit has such a big impact on your serenity. Think back over the last few days; can you think of some things you are thankful for? Why not try writing them down. Did you have an experience this week that made you feel less stressed and more serene? Write it down. Cultivate the habit of noticing and appreciating those little things.
So, here’s your challenge for today – and don’t talk about it, just do it: do something nice or thoughtful for someone today.
Leave a comment and tell me what little thing you are thankful for today.
