Like you, I love life’s simple pleasures.

In this fast paced world that we live in, they offer us simple ways to relax, experience more joy and to reconnect to our true-selves.

Today, I want to share with you 15 simple pleasures that I like to indulge in. I hope you’ll find them beneficial to you, too! I’ve included some helpful links.

#1 Spend quality time with nature. Go for a walk, put your feet on the grass or watch a sunset.

#2 Get your hands dirty. Take care of your plants at home, on your balcony or in your garden. Show them some love!

#3 Unplug from technology. Leave your phone at home and go visit a new place ( e.g. cafe, bookstore, music shop, museum).

#4 Move your body. Emotion is created by motion. Want to feel more energized and happy? Get your sweet butt to a gym, dancing class or get sweat exercising at home (no need to overcomplicate).

#5 Meet with a dear friend or help someone in need. Spending quality time with people you love, positively impacts your mood and deepens important human connections in your life.

#6 Prepare yourself a nutrient meal. Cook at home. Eat slowly appreciating every single bite of your healthy food.

#7 Establish a spiritual practice. Start meditating and practicing yoga, they will change your life for the better, I promise you.

#8 Express gratitude. Write a thank you note to someone or journal on what you’re grateful for.Why not doing both?

#9 Treat your body with love and care. Give yourself a warm bubble bath or a shower with your favourite body care products.

#10 Breath. Live in a moment by practicing deep breathing. Inhale and exhale love and appreciation.

#11 Listen to music that you love. Immerse in that playful experience.

#12 Colour something fun. Get a colouring book, a piece of paper or a canvas. Express yourself through colours.

#13 Diffuse essential oils. They can help you boost your energy levels (orange), help digestion (rosemary), improve quality of your sleep (lavender) and your brain function (geranium).

#14 Read a book for pleasure. Visit your nearest library or a bookstore and buy a book that grabs your curiosity.

#15 Declutter your closet. Get rid of all the things which don’t bring you joy. You can follow a fantastic system of organising by Marie Kondo. Enjoy your free space.
