Appreciating the little things..

When I stop to appreciate the ‘fanciful’ in everything life every little thing just fills me up with so much joy. Even the things that on the surface seem boring, an inconvenience or difficult to some.

Long car journeys, meal prep, washing the dishes, feeding the cat, walking to work, cleaning the house, eating lunch.

In our modern world we have so many distractions that take away from the beautifulness of the leaves on the forest floor or the unusual flavours in the food on our plate. Because the majority of the time our mind is elsewhere.

Being mindful isn’t about spending hours sitting in silence in meditation. It can be part of your every moment. Eating your chocolate like you’re making love. Making your bed for the queen or king you are.

Little things. Simple things.
