I'm glad someone mentioned this; it's these little acts of self-care that help us stay sane and grounded.

Also, I get that warm fuzzy feeling whenever I score great deals on travel tickets!

It's the little things that make motherhood more manageable and bring us joy! The buzz from planning an exciting trip is an uplifting feeling.
This conversation has been insightful with many relatable anecdotes shared. As we're on the topic of wellbeing strategies and focusing on the simplistic joys in life, could everyone name three material possessions or experiences that bring you joy? Mine would be my favourite sandals for comfort, cozy sweaters to snug up in and the satisfaction of finding hidden gems while shopping for second-hand books!
Yup, it's the small things in life that bring the biggest smiles - they say a lot about the quality of our characters too, don't they? You never know, some might be life-changing suggestions! In any case, I'm enjoying this thread very much so far; it's nice to have some me-time and to relate to other mums' simple joys.
I'd have to say those warm and fuzzy moments shared with extended family and friends top the list. Quality time with loved ones is a real booster, especially when we're caught up in the daily grind. Also, hearing my little one giggle is a simple yet profound joy. As for material things, I get excited about a good new skincare find that actually works! It's a simple luxury that brings me joy and also makes me feel rejuvenated. Foodies will understand - seafood pasta can instantly uplift my mood too!
As a mother, I've come to appreciate the impact of simplicity even more than before. Amidst the chaotic beauty of parenting, we often overlook the subtle joys lurking in everyday life.
