I’ve spent the past two weeks visiting my mom in Somerset West, and I’ve been soaking up the gorgeous mountain views and precious beach strolls with my family as much as possible.
I’m fortunate in that I’m able to work remotely, so even though I’ve had several deadlines while on ‘holiday’, I’ve also had some time to read a novel, to practice some yoga, and I’ve even thrown in some meditation for good measure! I recently signed up as a member over at Che Dyer Yoga, and the guided meditations, yoga flows, journal prompts, and other resources have proven to be so valuable. I’m busy working through Che’s ‘Happiness‘ season at the moment, and even though I’m only four days in, I’m already feeling so much lighter, brighter, and more grateful. One of today’s resources was a list of little things that serve to up your happiness, and it inspired me to create my own. So without any further rambling, here’s my list of little things that help to put a smile on my face…
Early morning road trips
A brand new notebook
Paging through a stack of fresh, glossy magazines
Coffee with a good friend
Crisp, cool morning air
Snuggles from my son
Fresh, white linen on my bed
A vase full of pretty blooms
A stroll on the beach
The last five minutes of a really intensive yoga class
That Friday feeling… especially in Summer (the air is filled with so much promise!)
Lighting up a brand-new scented candle
Sunday afternoon tea and catch ups with my grandparents
Finally ticking the last thing off your to-do list
A really good foot massage
