The Art of Enjoyment and Seeking Simple Pleasures

from The Healthy Metal Hippie · host Ashley Lexine

Send us Fan MailToday we are talking about how we look for enjoyment in day to day life. I’ve been thinking a lot about this especially when feeling stuck in heavy workloads, deadlines and managing multiple projects over these few months! There’s a risk of numbness and disconnect through these times, but really, it’s a risk at any point in life especially when there’s other mental health things going on. We also spend a little time discussing the validity of those “negative” feelings that come in too. We are absolutely allowed to feel them, they’re important and help us process. I needed this reminder for myself today to find the things that bring me smiles and joy in the mundane parts of life. Today I’m sharing a little story about how my mum told me a long time ago that it’s how you approach the hard things that makes all the difference to your inner world. For me at least, the approach with kindness and openness is the key to giving myself a joyful and fulfilling life. Listen, this isn’t a fix everything, it isn’t a toxic positivity post (ew!) but I invite you to look for the good things every day.
