We are always dissatisfied, always thinking that we should look younger or slimmer than we actually do, unhappy for not having a “good job”.
When someone asks us, “So? What have you done? How’s your life?” We always want to answer something like “I have a big house, a nice car, …” We are in constant pursuit of happiness, but we don’t value the little things that life offers us and, most often, are those that have more importance.
Sometimes it is necessary to slow down the stressful life we live, look around and be thankful for what you have (you’ll end up having more), even if it’s not what we have dreamt of!
Here is a short list of “free pleasures”, enjoy!
- Stroll by the sea
- Take a walk with friends / family
- Napping
- Visit a library, taking the opportunity to read a little
- Listen to music
- Playing with the children, nephews, godchildren, grandchildren
