Simple pleasures are the things that bring you joy.

There are so many simple pleasures!

A simple pleasure is something that adds to your happiness no matter how ordinary or little it may seem.

Each day there are beautiful simple pleasures available for you to enjoy and embrace.

Thanks life!

Enjoying the simple pleasures can help bring you feelings like a sense of happiness, contentment, joy and satisfaction.

It’s important to enjoy the simple pleasures in life as it can help you feel more present and uplift your mood.

When we are in a negative mindset it can sometimes be hard to focus on the good. Appreciating the simple pleasures is a simple way to realise all the good already in your life.

Lastly, if we’re always waiting for the ‘big’ things or the next things to make us happy… well we will be waiting.

Embracing the simple pleasures in your life can serve as a reminder that you’re allowed to enjoy your life right now.

“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.” 
– Albert Einstein
