This is an amazing list. I love slowing down and appreciating the small things. It can be so easy to get caught up in things and miss what is happening right here and right now. Great reminder!

Great list!! An attitude of gratitude is SO important. It makes such a significant difference in even how our bodies are storing or releasing stress. It’s so much harder to practice though than I ever thought it would be, definitely a muscle that has to be constantly used.

My husband and I are asking for lots of camping gear for Christmas so that we can explore state parks next summer. I’m excited to kick back and enjoy nature.

I feel like this is so important, especially right now! For me its a good book on a rainy day in the camper, an iced oat milk latte while working for my fave coffee shop or a warm hug from my nieces and nephews!

I love this! The stress of everything going on this year hit me hard, especially given the fact that I was already working through issues with my mental health. One way that I’ve found to fight back by embracing the little things that make me happy was to start every day with a cup of coffee and puppy cuddles – in my hammock in the back yard, on the couch, wherever feels right (weather permitting).
