JOYFUL GRATITUDE #75
Today let me share this article that I really enjoyed reading this week and basically put words on what I often feel. Every time I have a tough time at work or something is bothering me, I have a tendency to daydream about taking a sabbatical and exploring far away lands imagining that that would solve all my problems;) Of course I love traveling and will continue to do so, however on a day-to-day basis I want to make sure I remember the concept of ‘the box of daily experience’ and improving the way I experience it, since this is much more accessible and rewarding than constant travel.
Writing JOYFUL GRATITUDE has definitely helped my box of daily experience feel fluffier, as I regularly pay more attention to the things that are readily available such as
- spending time with my family,
- trying new recipes with Paolo,
- admiring amazing plants in the local botanic garden,
- enjoying afternoons with friends and their kids,
- lying on the couch reading a book on my day off,
- going for walks around the neighbourhood
- and a myriad of other small pleasures of life:)
