I feel like paying more attention to the tiny mundane things in life that bring you some joy can make a big difference in reining in some of the negative thoughts and feelings. easier said than done but ascribing more weight and meaning to even the tiniest things makes me feel generally happier and more focused on the present. like going for a walk and being in nature even for a few mins, seeing a cat in someone’s window, making yourself a hot chocolate in your favorite mug when it’s cold outside

If you can do this, every day is filled with moments that fill you with joy and wonder. This already happened to me like eight times today, starting with my perfect smoothie (other moments included seeing a squirrel, walking past these cool flowers that look like fried eggs, and smelling the new perfume samples I ordered). It’s pretty easy, just go stand outside and look at something beautiful. There are gorgeous things everywhere. If you’re having trouble connecting with this, which I do sometimes because I’m not a lobotomized freak and also because life can truly beat you down, just take like 1-2 grams of mushrooms like two hours before sunset and then go on a super long walk with great music in your headphones and I promise you’ll remember how fucking cool it is just to get to be alive.

Focus on the things you would usually disregard, things that seem insignificant or average. There’s unbelievable value in everything around us, such tiny details making up these big things we barely think about. If you can spark up a sense of wonder in yourself for everything you pass by you will find it hard not to want to photograph everything you pass as well

That freshly-showered feeling, chuckling to yourself when something weird happens, marveling at the colors of fresh produce at the grocery store, the rhythmic sounds of morning traffic ~~ livin your life like an ephemeral novel you’re writing and rewriting in your head

This frog was above the door to a convenience store that I used to walk by all the time and it just made me happy every time I saw him
