Little Joys That Make My Life Better
Written by Eliza Talento
Life isn’t just about big achievements—it’s the small, everyday joys that make everything feel lighter and more meaningful. With all the stress from school and daily responsibilities, I’ve realized that finding happiness in simple things makes a huge difference. Here are some of the little joys that help me stay sane and happy.
🎬Netflix, K-Dramas, and Anime Nights
There’s nothing quite like getting lost in a good series after a long day. Watching K-dramas and anime isn’t just entertaining—it’s actually a great way to relax. Did you know that watching your favorite shows can boost dopamine (a happy hormone), which explains why feel-good moments in dramas make us so emotional? Plus, when I watch with friends or family, it becomes even more fun. Sharing reactions, laughing at funny scenes, or even crying over heartbreaking moments just makes everything feel more special.
📖 Books, Wattpad Stories, Manhwa, and Manga
Reading has always been one of my favorite escapes. Whether it’s a Wattpad, a fantasy manhwa, or an intense manga, every story takes me somewhere new. And it turns out, reading isn’t just fun—it actually helps improve focus and reduces stress. Studies even suggest that reading can lower heart rate and relax muscles in just six minutes. No wonder it always feels so calming!
🍎Food and My Journey to Eating Healthy
I used to be such a picky eater, but now, I’m trying to enjoy more healthy food. I’ve learned that eating nutritious meals makes a big difference in how I feel—more energy, better mood, and just overall feeling good. But don’t get me wrong, I still love my comfort food! It’s all about balance. Since I’m also trying to gain weight, I’m focusing on eating more, but in a way that’s still good for my body. Food isn’t just something we eat—it’s an experience that brings comfort and happiness.
🏡The Joy of a Clean Space
Okay, I know cleaning isn’t everyone’s favorite thing, but hear me out—it’s actually really satisfying! Organizing my room and making everything neat instantly clears my mind. Studies even show that a clean space helps reduce stress and improves focus. It’s such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference in how I feel. Plus, helping out at home with chores makes me feel productive and gives me quality time with my mother.
🌿Nature, Music, and Friends
There’s just something about being outside that makes everything feel calmer. Whether it’s a nice breeze, a beautiful sunset, or just fresh air, nature has a way of making me feel at peace. Now, I miss our province huhu. Going back, of course, music is also a lifesaver. Studies say that listening to your favorite songs can lower stress and boost happiness—this makes sense because I always feel better when I have my playlist on. And my friends? They’re my ultimate mood boosters. Nothing beats good company, random laughs, and deep conversations that make life so much better.
At the end of the day, it’s the little things that matter. No matter how stressful life gets, I know I can always find happiness in the small joys around me. And honestly, that’s enough to make every day a little brighter. ☁️🎶📖💛
