Why It's Important To Appreciate The Little Things

Sometimes we're so wrapped up in ourselves we forget to take time for ourselves.

Why It's Important To Appreciate The Little Things

It's very easy to get wrapped up in your everyday life that you forget to take time to yourself. Between the stress of everyday life, and trying to please everyone else you tend to neglect yourself. You forget to appreciate the little things in life.

Here is some of the little things you forget to appreciate:

1. Wonderful scents.

The biggest thing we take for granted is the wonderful scents of things. For example, different foods, perfumes, flowers, and just plain fresh air. One of my favorite scents is fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Aromatherapy can help with many ailments and can help you de-stress.

2. Getting a nice parking space.

As a college student I struggle to find a good parking space. It's like I'm competing in the hunger games for a good parking space on campus. I base how good my day is going to be by whether or not I find a good parking space or not. It is always a plus if you find a good parking space at the grocery store, work, school, or anywhere really.

3. Receiving a compliment.

Wether it's a compliment on how you look, or how good a job you are doing it's always nice to receive a compliment. People don't really understand that you can literally make someones day by giving them a compliment. You never know what's going on in people's lives or how much it could mean to them to hear a few nice words.

4. Random things we forget to appreciate.

*The smell of coffee and books.

*Getting an item for sale.

*Acts of kindness, like someone paying it forward.

*Chivalry, like someone holding a door open for you.

*Receiving a good grade on something.

After reading this article I hope you are able to remember to appreciate some of these little things that get taken for granted.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
