Joyful: Finding the Joy in the Small Things

#joy #happiness #wellness #smallthings #habits

Throughout life, we have many highs and lows, but the majority of our lives are somewhere in the middle. You accomplish something big or go on a super fun vacation, and you feel great, and this can carry you for some time. On the other hand, there could be moments of sadness or lows in our lives. Often, our day-to-day life is somewhere in the middle, and this makes up most of our lives. Finding the joy in the day-to-day is the key here. It's hard to enjoy things when you are always just looking forward to the next high moment in your life. It can be even more devastating when the lows come. I think the key here is finding joy in your day-to-day life. Making time for things you enjoy that can make your day-to-day life better will make a huge difference. It helps us to stay more stable and enjoy the moment rather than just chasing the highs. The quote by Annie Dillard sums this up: “Well, how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
