Sometimes life can really feel like a rat race. As you find yourself bustling from the dentist’s office, to your child’s soccer game, to work, and then back home to cook dinner. It can be easy to lose sight of what makes life enjoyable. Life's simple pleasures and details get lost in the proverbial shuffle.
Life's Simple Pleasures
Even in the midst of a fast-paced life, it is important to take time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures and details. For example, when you are sitting on the benches at the soccer game, allow yourself to be in the moment and really enjoy what you are doing. It is more than just the game; the winning. It is the sites, the sounds, the colors, the fresh air. Take it all in.
Take a deep breath of the fresh air and really pay attention to what your child is doing. In moments like these, it is easy to find yourself mindlessly scrolling on your phone or daydreaming about everything else you need to get done that day….but allowing yourself to enjoy these simple pleasures and details brings you back to the present moment.
When you do not allow yourself to exist and enjoy the present moment, it is all too easy to lose contentment. Once lost it can be even harder to get back than it is to hang on to it in the first place.
Practice being present by focusing on details in the here and now. Doing so can redirect your senses back to the present moment rather than always thinking about what is coming next. Living in the moment, being always present, is one of the many secrets to success and a great life experience.
