There’s joy in simplicity. Sometimes, it’s the little moments that keep us going, like when your dog tinkles immediately on a freezing morning or when public transit arrives on time. Living in a fast-paced world, it’s easy to miss those simple moments, chalking them up to be just the way that life should be! But if you always expect your bus to be late and you always plan to freeze your tooshie off in the brisk morning air, when you don’t have to endure menial hardships, it’s actually a win.
If your expectations are fairly low, the lower the bar for tiny W’s throughout the day! This turns a friendly greeting at the grocery store into a happy moment, instead of benign, and it turns a good parking spot into a huge success rather than an expectation. Take a moment today to enjoy those silly smaller things, and perhaps you’ll feel a minute serotonin boost from something simple, like the perfect bite of a sandwich or taking your shoes off after a long day.
You’ve earned that good vibe feeling.
