Little things that make me happy

Hello guys! It's been a while since I've posted something, actually one month, damn. I was quite busy, working and travelling a bit. Also tomorrow I'm leaving to Paris so I'll make sure to post something about the trip when I come back.

Today's article will be about some things that make me happy and that I like to do when I feel down or when I just want to relax. I'm not including important things like family and friends because these things are quite obvious. I'm writing about little things and ideas that can help me to calm my mind down or just to help me chill for a while. Enjoy! :)

Pictures for inspiration

I love to scroll through any kind of pictures. It can be on Instagram, or We Heart It and it can be pictures by my friends, quotes or basically any other kind. It's very relaxing for me to find new pictures and save them and find some inspiration thanks to that.

New message

I think this thing makes everyone happy. When someone who you really care about or you like texts you out of nothing and it makes you feel wanted and you know that the person is thinking about you. It always makes my mood 100 % better.

Diary

This little book is very personal for me. I've been decorating my diary for like 4 years already and I have my own system. Every week I rewrite all the events from the week from my phone to the book and then go to We Heart It and scroll through quotes there. I have one day on each side so when I find a good quote I write it there and usually write two quotes into every day. This is so relaxing for me and I'm excited to do that every week, it's my little addiction. :)

Writing

Another very relaxing thing for me is writing. As I mentioned in the previous post already, I write fan fictions. I love to think about alternative stories for the characters from movies or famous people that I like. You can also find some of my stories on Wattpad, I finally found some courage to post something there because I felt bad for saving my stories only for me. You can find me there as Walli1313.

Drawing

I haven't done this activity for pretty long time already but it's also very relaxing. I usually draw portraits or redraw some drawings that I find. I simply draw with a pencil, I love to listen to music while doing that and it makes me forget all my problems for a while. It takes a lot of time though when I want it to look just how I want to so maybe that's why I haven't done that lately but I definitely want to draw something in the near future again because I kind of miss it.

Drinking coffee

I think a lot of people do this when they want to relax (apart from the times when they do it on the daily base). When I make coffee it makes me feel like I can relax while drinking that. I love to drink coffee in the mornings when I don't have rush anywhere and for example scroll through the Instagram while doing that. When it's not summer break I also like to make coffee right after I come home from school and again scroll through some pictures. This drink is just connected with a relaxation for me.

Watching series

I plan to write the whole article about series that I watched or watch nowadays so I'm not going to list my favourite shows here. I just wanted to include this into the article because that's another thing I love to do when I want to relax and not think about anything for a while. I have days when I watch so many episodes and then I also have days when I watch nothing but I always like to go back to watching series from time to time when I'm free.

Listening to music

Last but not least is music. When you ask people what they do when they want to relax a lot of them say listen to music. I already posted an article about my favourite artists and musicians so if you read that you already know that I love many different styles and artists. Funny thing is that I also like to jump around in my room sometimes and enjoy the music fully. :D

These are the little things that make me happy that I could think of. I hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe also found some inspiration for what to do when you want to relax or forget about your problems for a while. See you soon. :)

Much love,

Valerie
