With today’s current economic situation, concern over the environment and dealing with all the little day to day problems that seem to plague our lives, we hardly take the time to breathe, let alone enjoy the small pleasures of life. However, it is these small pleasures that gives meaning and beauty to our lives and relaxes and recharges us so that we can meet the challenges in our lives with strength and a positive attitude.
The Taste And Feel of Snow On Your Tongue
Silly as that idea may seem now that you are an adult, this simple pleasure of sticking your tongue out and catching a snowflake and feeling it melt on your tongue has the power to not only relax us and melt out stresses and worries away with the melting ice crystals.
Mud Puddle Jumping
No one is recommending that you take off your shoes and socks in the middle of a work day and rush outside after a rain to feel the squish of mud between your toes. Though it isn’t a half bad idea, what is important is to recall how good it feels just to do something for the sheer joy it gives us.
Watching a Sunset
For most of us today, the setting of the sun only reminds us of all the things we didn’t get accomplished in the course of the day. We’ve forgotten the pleasure of sitting on the porch or pulling the car over and watching the sky light up with color heralding the end of another day, by filling the sky with beauty. Taking the time to really watch a sunset, can fill your soul with peace and renew your spirit.
The Feel of A Hug
Sure we hug those we love all time but, when was the last time you actually allowed yourself to really feel that hug? Feeling the warmth of our child’s little arms around our neck or our partners warm embrace reminds us that we are not alone in this world. A hug can convey every emotion known to man and taking a moment to feel the warmth of a hug can make even the most difficult problems fade away.
The Music of Nature
Sitting outside on a summer’s evening or walking the woods on a crisp fall day. Too often we find ourselves lost in thought and don’t take the time to silence our mind and really listen to the music of nature. The humming of a bee or the whisper of the wind, helps remind us that the world is filled with beauty, harmonies and melodies.
Gazing at the Stars
Taking a few moments to gaze at the stars or watch a meteor shower reminds us how vast the universe is and how insignificant life’s little problems are in the vast scheme of things. It also reminds us that though we may feel different or alone there are others who are gazing at the same sky and feeling the same feelings we ourselves are experiencing.
Remembering life’s little pleasures and taking time to enjoy them provides balance, variety and joy in our lives.
