Do you ever feel like you have nothing to be happy about? Sure, everybody gets into ruts sometimes, and that's O.K.! However, sometimes getting out of these ruts can be as simple as taking the time to pick little things to be happy about. Here are just a few of the things I've found that I am really thankful for when I take the time to think about them.
Walking inside on a cold day
That initial warm feeling is the BEST.
Putting on my favorite fall jacket.
I always love bringing out new clothes
Seeing all the constantly changing colors
I just love seeing something new out of my window everyday.
Taking a nice deep breath
Although I don't take nearly enough, centering myself with a nice deep breath never fails to bring me happiness and motivation.
Taking 20 minutes to just go on my phone and not think about anything important
Sometimes I just need to be a little lazy.
Feeling full after a nice meal
I REALLY don't appreciate this enough
Listening to music on my way to class
Even when I'm going to class, music is able to get my AMPED
Taking my socks off after a long day
I mean, who can disagree?
Talking to a friend as I walk to class
I love the little conversations I get to have when I see my friend heading the same way as me.
Seeing a stranger smile as I pass them
This little showcase of positivity goes a long way for me.
Getting to wake up under nice warm blankets
I like my room cold and my blankets abundant
Getting a compliment on my outfit
It is crazy that I forget to be thankful when someone compliments me, but when I think back, I always realize how little appreciation I showed.
Handing in a big assignment and feeling relief that it's out of my hands
Even if my grade is going to suck, at lease I'm done!
Having a deep convo with friends
Sometimes just getting a little introspective leaves me feeling really fulfilled.
Getting out of class early even if it's only by 5 minutes
Every. Minute. Matters.
Actually having time to do the reading for class
Class and homework is so much less stressful when I actually know what we're talking about.
Walking into the lounge and seeing my friends every night
Knowing somebody I know is in there to great me after a day of classes is SO nice
Going to mass with people I love
Honestly, this has always been such a privilege and I never take the time to be thankful for it!
Watching videos in class
They are more fun, easier to understand, and add some variety to class. What's not to love?!?!
Getting assignments that are low-key fun
Even though they seem bad because they are work, I realized sometimes my assignments are really interesting!
Laughing so hard I cant breath
With my friends, it really isn't hard
There is so much else I am so thankful for, but these are just a few of the things that I like to take the time and be appreciative of every once and a while. Try to take some time and think about the things that you are thankful for. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
