Another week of the unknown in todays world & I’m finally getting the hang of thing! This work from home life is not too bad after all! This past weekend was Easter and although it was a little strange for sure- the reason for the day didn’t change! We all have so much to live for on a daily basis and it’s so easy to forget that. I find myself getting caught up in the negative things too sometimes but have recently really been honing in on the good! Below, I’ve listed a few of my favorite things that I do to bring joy the last few weeks!
Embrace Your Surroundings
I am for one not a nature gal. I don’t really like going on “hikes” etc. and would typically much rather being doing something else. Recently though, this has been different. During this quiet time in the world- I’ve been enjoying my surroundings more than I ever have! Being an avid traveler, I think for sure I have not really appreciated all of the beautiful Earth that is right near me (and I’m sure I am not the only one!). Go excited, take a walk, sit in your backyard- I promise all of these things will bring you so much peace!
Write a Letter or call an old friend
Checking on your loved ones is so important during this time! I sent my grandma a letter! It made me so happy to know that as soon as she opened it, I would be putting a smile on her face. I also have had a chance to reach out to some old friends and reconnect. This time is the perfect time to do things like this- human connection is so important while we are all being encouraged to stay inside. Being inside does not mean we have to be emotionally disconnected also!
Mark something off of your to-do list that has been there for a while
Does anyone else feel like SUPER accomplished when they finally finish something they’ve been planning to for a while and haven’t yet? I know I do! One really rewarding thing to do during this time is to mark something off of your to-do list that you have yet to get a chance to! Maybe it’s a goal of yours to finish that book you started a year ago..or maybe it’s even to finish writing that book of your own! Whatever it is..doing something that will make you feel like you accomplished something is sure to bring joy to your life!
Hope these few things are able to bring you joy!
Until Next Time,
B
