20 Things That Make Life Better

Occasionally our lives and filled with stress and general disappointment. And that makes focusing on the positive that much more difficult. Recently I’ve found myself not enjoying the little things that normally make me happy. So I made a list of 20 things that make me happy, cheer me up, and generally will lighten up any mood, in the hopes of reminding me why I love the little things. I hope this list will help you too if you’re down.

20 Things That Make Life Better, Our Smile Wider, and Make Stress Disappear

Baby cuddles – because cute warm babies clutching you is adorable
Chocolate – do I need say more?
Listening to your favourite artist – sometimes your favourite music makes everything seem a lot better
Naps – sometimes some shut eye is the best treatment
Eating a healthy meal – sometimes taking care of yourself means doing so in more than one way
Exercise – nothing relieves sadness and stress like twenty minutes of Just Dance
Babbling with friends – sometimes those meaningless conversations are the reasons you keep going
Bathing – a long soak in the tub or a hot shower is exactly what you need when you need to unwind
Good morning texts – nothing like being the first thing someone thinks of
Hugs – once again, need I say more?
Attention from dogs – a warm, happy dog makes you warm and happy too
Going through photo albums – positive memories make for positive feelings
Listing out positive things – making a list of things that are going good for you will remind you that things are going good
Feel good movies – nothing like smiling and crying over cute family scenes
Dancing crazily – dance out with the negative energy, and feel the endorphins fill you with positive energy
Cup of tea – sometimes some delicious, creamy, hot tea first thing in the morning is the reason the day is good
Singing out loud – lose yourself to a good song
A new hairstyle – change can improve your self worth, which just makes you feel TONS better
Human interaction – interact with those you love, simple as that
Time to yourself – sit back, put on some music, and just bask in your existence, because you’ve made it this far and that’s fantastic
