15.9.2018 – Small things matter and your daily happiness
I was thinking about it. What do we want to do every day? Are we doing these things daily or not? I think these small daily things add up to our happiness. For example, I haven’t read a book in two weeks, because I’ve been focused on poker, playing poker, studying poker, etc. On my free time, I was either doing some activity, so I didn’t have time to read, and it’s something that bothers me when I don’t get to do things I like. A lot of our happiness comes from doing the things we enjoy, and sometimes we forget what we like and what we should be doing daily or at least weekly.
When we get older, we also seem to forget some activities we used to like as a kid, or we want to ignore those feelings because we are not supposed to do some things when we are older, I think it’s bull****. These activities are just as fun when we are older. We are getting older in physical age, but not mentally. At least I have a hard time picturing myself as an old person and someone who doesn’t enjoy the things I used when I was younger. In the end, I still enjoy pretty much all the same activities I used to enjoy as a kid. We don’t change that much.
I guess my point was, keep doing things you always enjoyed earlier. Sometimes you are in so much rush to do something else; you forget to enjoy those things you always used to enjoy, playing football, swimming, jumping on a trampoline(did it once last year and it was a blast haha, I don’t have the same stamina anymore, though..
) and watching Ice-hockey.
Stop and think what you used to enjoy and you might come up with many activities you enjoy even today. You’d be surprised. Sometimes we forget these things when we are busy doing everything else in our lives.
EDIT;
Small daily activities work as a great stress relief and bring nice fun to life.
