NEED A HAPPINESS BOOST?

Needing a happiness boost was an easy post for me to write as I find happiness in everyday life. Below is my list of things that make me smile and make me feel good. Sometimes we can get overwhelmed by just about everything, so taking a moment to appreciate things can make a huge difference to your well-being.
Here are things that make me smile. I highly recommend doing your own list. It's surprising how when you start thinking about these things how your mood will lift. 
Sunsets. Over the weekend I took this shot whilst on the hills in Exmoor. Watching a sunset is such a beautiful sight. There is something very majestic about seeing a sunset. Due to the wonderful weather just lately the night skies have been absolutely stunning.
 
Baby Jacques. He is just so adorable. Having the ray of sunshine in my life is simply wonderful.
 
 
My friends and family. I am so fortunate to have great friends and have close family members that can really make me smile.
My 2 beautiful cats. My cats are sisters that couldn’t be more different. One of the cats has the personality of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. The other is so switched on and resourceful that she could be a world leader in the cat world. If you have seen the film “cats and dogs”, you will know what I mean.
Snow. Seeing the snow fall whilst you're nice and warm inside. It's such a good feeling. 
Just writing this is making me feel positive - NEED A HAPPINESS BOOST
 
Happy, positive, and relaxed people. I love being around people that aren’t living in the past and dragging others down. Those who uplift others are those I sync with.
Candles. I love candles. I started making candles in 2015 and now I have a business selling them. Check out the candles which are all handmade and made from a coconut and rapeseed wax. They smell amazing too!
Refreshing and uplifting smells. Lemon zest smells and bergamot seem to be something I really like. During the day I tend to choose uplifting scents by burning wax melts. You can check out the range of wax melts available by clicking here. 
The home being clean and tidy. This really brings me a sense of peace. I can’t work in an uncluttered environment. 
Having fun. I will find fun in everyday life. Fun doesn’t have to be expensive. Quite often as a family we play games that make us roar with laughter.

Other people's good news. It is so nice when other people are so excited about their good news.
Food. I am such a foodie, I so enjoy delicious good food, the aroma alone can make me smile.
Flying. That noise of the engines boosting before an aircraft takes off gets me every time. I haven’t been on a plane for a bit due to covid restrictions.

Seeing others in love. How nice is it when you see people that are so loved up. That look they give each other is so beautiful.
Meditation. After each mediation session, I always find I am smiling and feeling grateful.

A book. I read alot. A couple of years ago I was constantly in the library loaning books.
