How I fell in love with life again
in a matter of just 45 mins
Today I started on a very low note. I have been feeling this way since last couple of days. I had not been liking my days at all. They started the same , they passed the same way and ended the same. It was like I was living the same day over and again. It was making me really depressed and unmotivated.
And on the same note I went for a walk today, as the weather showed temperatures in positive. I was walking as if it was my duty to walk a few steps, not being interested in it at all. And then suddenly I felt like reaching for my air pods and listen to some music. As the first song hit my ears, I started to feel the words, and slowly slowly everything started to fall in place.
It took me just one song to get into my groove again. And soon I was the girl on the sidewalk, skipping and swaying, humming and singing, feeling the sun on her face and wind in her air.
I started feeling the beauty in everything around me. The fern trees, the beautiful brown fencing which showed shades of silver in the sun, the passing cars, and the carefree skateboarder. I realised how I missed these surroundings for last three years, and now that I am really back here I am not appreciating them enough. And that’s what it took me from feeling miserable to feeling blissful — a change in perspective. No fancy travels, no shopping spree, no major change in life. Just a simple walk with some soul soothing music.
We make life so complicated by our big expectations of some life changing events, but all it takes to really feel happy is just opening our eyes and noticing the beauty in the simple things that surround us. Yes it gets very difficult to do that some days, but if we are willing to look for it, it will make itself visible — the beauty in our heart will show us the beauty of the world!
