Happy Sunday! Currently writing this at 7am with the weirdest spike of motivation but wanted to come on here and write a short blog today. It’s gonna be a busy week. For some reason, I feel like that always happens right before the holiday break but honestly, by the time we get to Friday, it’s going to be so relieving and relaxing for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!

I’m thinking of doing more holiday baking during the week but for today, I want to give you a little prompt to reflect on before the happiest of holidays week. I’m going to name mine but think about a few things that make you happy, even if their small and even if you’ve had a super crappy week because allowing yourself to think about those few moments where you smiled will not only help increase your mood but will also grow your optimism. Yes, seasonal slumps are a thing (even if I’m saying it incorrectly) and there may be times where we just don’t want to face anything, but these small snippets where we feel genuine joy are what help us with thinking positively.

So for me,

This week…

My friends have made me happy.

My work has made me happy.

My blog has made me happy.

The Christmas season has made me happy.

Coffee has made me happy.

Even watching my favorite show has made me happy.

Being around my family has made me happy.

My personal hard work has made me happy.

And yes, the list goes on because I have been grateful for a lot this week but I wanted to make this short and sweet so there are just and few things and honestly, it put a smile on my face because I was able to relate it to a moment and just think about what I was feeling in the moment.

Anyways, I hope you all have an amazing week, I’m going to be posting a few more blogs throughout the week, even some more AMAZING recipes (I’ve also realized that the most used word in my vocabulary at the moment is ‘amazing’, but that’s okay).

Stay Kind:)
