Lately I've been in a little funk trying to figure out ways to make me happier. Overall, I'd say I have a pretty happy life, but my depression sometimes makes it hard to appreciate my life and all that I have. I forget all the wonderful things that exist in life, all the feelings, emotions, sights, smells, tastes, experiences, etc. So this is my new idea to make myself happier. I'm going to start this blog for myself, based on the blog "1000 Awesome Things" and I'm going to find one simple thing each day that's worth noticing and smiling about.
A new idea can be anything. It could be the new ingredient you add to a recipe, or a new craft to make. It could be a new activity to discover, or a new way to organize your room. It could be a new way to wear an outfit, or a life-changing perspective. Regardless of how big or small, insignificant or important, new ideas add variety to our lives, and make us feel inventive and creative. They inspire us to stray from the norm and take a risk to find something better. Sometimes we come up with new ideas on our own, or sometimes we take a good idea and make it new to us. Coming up with something new always excites me, and incites a good feeling. When that light bulb in my brain lights up, it's always something worth noticing and acknowledging. Right now, I am so excited to start this new project and see how it affects my overall happiness. It makes me excited to wake up tomorrow and decide what my simple thing of the day will be. It gives me a reason to look harder for the simple beautiful things that are too often taken for granted and gone unnoticed. I hope this helps me appreciate more of my life and remember how many little wonderful things there are to make life worth living.
