It's not always easy to keep your spirits up all the time, so I've compiled a list of little and large things that fill me with joy. The list has taken on momentum and I constantly think of more things to be happy and grateful for! I recommend making your own list as well, to help you appreciate the small things in life. It's a good list to come back to when things seem blackest, when it can serve as a little chink of hope to remind you that happiness will find you again.
You can think of this as an emergency go-to list if you're stuck for ideas or inspiration. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it should get you thinking about what makes YOU happy :) x
