In case you’re feeling a little down today, I’d love to remind you of six of the most amazing feelings in the world (in my opinion, of course). Hopefully I can provide you with a few of life’s joys you may have previously taken for granted.

1. If you have never attended a concert, I am so very sorry. Do that, like now. If you have, you probably know exactly what I’m about to say. Standing in a crowded room full of people who share so much love and enthusiasm as you is probably not something you do everyday. In the middle of your favorite artist’s set when the lights are low, the room is incredibly overheated and energy pulses off the walls, that is a beautiful place to be. In that moment there is a reason every person has been brought together and there is absolutely nothing but love. Feeling music in every inch of your body from your heart to your fingernails and knowing the person next to you feels the exact same way is unlike anything else.

2. I personally believe crawling into bed after a great night, or day, out with your best friends is an unbeatable experience. Curling up, reminiscing on the day’s events is a joyous feeling. Laughing to yourself about every single amazing memory until you drift away to sleep is fantastic. I hope the next chance you have, you truly think about how great lying in bed at the end of the day feels.

3. I’m fairly sure everyone can appreciate a good sunset, but it absolutely must make my list. Silently taking in the beauty of the world around you is something words cannot describe. Take a moment to look around at the magnificence the world has to offer and allow yourself to enjoy every second of it.

4. Sitting outside on a mild summer night is another feeling I will never get over. Just after the sun sets while the birds are still chirping and the bugs are singing, watching the pale blue sky fade to black while lightning bugs dance about and the breeze tickles your toes. Let this be a reminder that this world is glorious as long as you look in the right places.

5. Reading the last page of an astounding book is heartwarming for more reason than one. Our lives are constantly changing. Sometimes, seeing something all the way through to the end makes everything feel like it will be alright again. Finishing a book and learning the ending clears up all loose ends in your mind that you maybe didn't even realize were bothering you.

6. Finally, I think knowing there are so many amazing feelings we’ve yet to feel is the best thing yet. Opening your mind to hundreds, even thousands, of possibilities you've yet to consider will send you into a spiral of bliss. Live each day knowing it has the potential to be great. Once you understand the meaning of being alive, each and every day will be incredible.
