For a lot of people the Winter season can leave them feeling down and disengaged in life. I can relate to this a lot because this usually hits me at this time of year, but I always have to remind myself of things that make life worth living and why I actually love my life. Here are my top things that remind me how much I love life:
10. Achieving something that I’ve worked so hard for
I love feeling like I have actually achieved something but especially when it is something that I have worked long and hard to achieve. This reminds me that there is so much more in life for you to do and achieve. There is always room to grow and get better at something you love.
9. Hugs
I absolutely love hugs with everything in me. They are just so healing and comforting to me.
8. Seeing anything natural like tooth gaps
This one may seem odd but I really like when I see people with natural features. They just remind me of how real everything is and how everyone is different, but wonderfully made. Seeing it just makes me think about how everyone has their own story and point of view of life and that’s actually so interesting to me. It makes me so happy to think about.
7. Getting gifts from people
This sounds very bad and self centered but its not even the gifts that I love, but it’s seeing that someone else actually knows me well enough to get me something they know I’ll like. I also love getting small things like notes and homemade things because that especially shows that people care.
6. Performing on stage
Performing is the best feeling. I love the adrenaline rush that I get from going on stage. Just getting to perform for a crowd is so fun and makes me feel so good.
5. “Cry night” at church camp
I’ve talked about how much I love cry night at camp before in another article, but this is a great reminder of how much I love life because just thinking of how loved you feel in that environment just heals me instantly. Everybody just lets their guard down and the true human in everyone comes out. Thinking back to the presence of God in that time just makes me feel instantly better.
4. Listening to music that explains exactly how I feel
The most comforting feeling is when you can’t explain how you feel, but you listen to a song and it explains it perfectly. Music is really just the window to my soul and it helps me so much.
3. Doing something that makes me feel creative
Doing anything that makes me feel creative makes me feel so good. Trying something new that’s creative is so fun. It’s nice in a dull time to bring out the creative side and let loose. Doing it also makes me feel very accomplished and happy.
2. Seeing or making other people feel good about themselves
One of my favorite things to do is to make someone feel good about themselves. I love giving people compliments or giving people attention who doesn’t usually get it. I love watching the difference in their mood and manner once they get that sense of confidence in them.
1. Seeing someone be passionate about something
The #1 thing that just makes me think of how much I truly love life is seeing people be passionate about anything that they love. Honestly it can be about anything but just seeing someone be so happy about anything makes me so happy to watch and hear what they have to say about it. It reminds me that everyone has something.
Hopefully after reading these it has given you some reasons why you live life too.
