Simple Things To Be Happy About

A Hot Shower After A Long Day

Washing away a long hard day in a soothing hot shower is my absolute favourite thing to do. When I step out of the shower and feel all squeaky clean then put on some fresh clothes I instantly feel happier.

Dancing

It’s hard to stay grumpy when you hear your favourite music from your teenage years. Go ahead and dance like there is no one watching. Better still find a fun exercise dance class and dance your way to happiness every week!

Laughing So Hard Your Sides Hurt

This is just such a great feeling!

Apple Pie And Ice Cream

The best go-to comfort dessert ever! Perfect for either cold winter nights or warm summer days.

Stationery

New pens, notepads, sticky notes and shiny paper clips. They are just instant mood lifters. My favourite stationery shop for all these lovely stationery items is Kikki. K.

Fresh Clean Sheets

The feel and smell of crisp clean sheets are one of the most simple things to be happy about.

Washing Your Hair

I love how soft my hair feels after I wash it. Then every time I catch the smell of shampoo it just makes me feel so happy.

Cuddling Up Next To Your Partner On The Sofa

I feel warm cozy and safe when I cuddle up next to my husband on the sofa. Of course, if we are watching something scary on TV then he is on his own because I’ll be cuddling the closest pillow!

Lunch Breaks

I always joke with my coworkers that the best part of the working day is lunch breaks!

Fridays

Even the hardest days are bearable when it’s a Friday and you know that you have the weekend to look forward to.

Scented Candles

Lovely soft scents evoke feelings of warmth and coziness.

Getting Dressed Up

I love having a fun event to look forward to that requires getting all dressed up. I feel so happy planning my wardrobe, hair and make-up leading up to the event.

Cheese Boards And Wine

Any favourite food will always make me feel very happy. But enjoying a lovely glass of wine with a cheeseboard just always feels so luxurious.

Sleeping In

Waking up naturally without the shock of the alarm going off makes me feel so relaxed for the rest of the day.

Rainbows

When I spot a rainbow in the sky I am reminded of how even after all the dark clouds and rain there will eventually be some bright sunny, colourful days. My beautiful friend also encouraged me to remember that rainbows are like a sign from our loved ones in heaven saying hello to us.

Holding A Baby

Cuddling new life in our arms is just so precious.

Long Distance Phone Calls From Family Or Friends

I love chatting with my aunt and cousin who live so far away in the USA. We spend ages catching up and reminiscing. My face almost hurts from so much smiling after we have finished our long-distance conversations!

Watching A Good Comedy

Spending a couple of hours lost in a good comedy plot can do wonders to lift my mood.

Receiving Parcels In The Mail

When I receive a parcel in the mail, I feel as excited as I do when I unwrap a birthday gift!

Seeing A Ladybird

Ladybirds remind me of spring. So whenever I see one I feel happy because it means that warmer days are just around the corner. They are also the only bugs that I am not deathly afraid of!

Having  A Clean House

Nothing beats the feeling of a fresh clean house because it means that I can relax and enjoy myself without worrying about any housework waiting to get done.

Seeing The Bottom Of The Laundry Hamper

Even though this lasts about one minute in our house. It’s still one whole entire minute of happiness!

Squeaky Clean Teeth

Squeaky clean teeth mean lovely fresh breath

Visiting An Antique Store

My happy place is a big antique shop called Mitchell Road Antique And Design Centre located in Sydney. Whenever I go for a visit it’s like I take a trip down memory lane. Seeing all the fun decor from the ’70s and ’80s makes me feel so happy…….ah those were the days!

Fairy Lights

Fairy lights are just so magical and can make any space look so inviting. You can’t help but feel happy whenever you are around some pretty fairy lights

Family Get Togethers

Having family in our life is just so special and I think that it’s so important to never take them for granted. The happiest memories that I have are the ones of my family being together.

Having My Hair Stroked

I love having my hair stroked because it just feels so soothing. It’s just the best feeling when someone plays with my hair!

  1. Great post. I believe that happiness is a choice we make every day. I have a framed quote to remind me – Today I choose joy. Oh, BTW, save me some apple pie – I love it!

  2. All of these things made me smile. Sometimes it’s the simplest things which make me happy like a cuppa with a slice of cake, half an hour watching a TV show and a quiet soak in the bath. x

  3. All these things make me happy too. A hot shower after a long day is the best thing I enjoy and wish to have. I enjoy stationary too. Post-its and cute notebooks are among my favourites. Thanks for this share. Have a great day! #MMBC
