10 Things That Brought Me Joy This Week

by Olivia

Were are back for open discussion Saturdays, and this week I want to know what brought you joy this week. I don’t know how your week went, only you know that, but often when I have a bad week or something didn’t go to plan, I like to do alot of reflection. I like looking back to see what went well instead of what didn’t.

Its important to do this on a regular basis as it can help you to re-focus and re-centre yourself. Even if its something small and something you’d consider ‘stupid’ then please still share it. If it made you happy, then it makes me happy too! Sometimes it’s good to have these moments to reflect and to really get some positive energy going in your life. For a moment say goodbye to the stress and negativity that might be surrounding you and just be in the moment. Think about some things that brought you joy this week, this morning or today even!

As always, I’ll start off by sharing mine and then you can share yours in the comments. I want this post to be a hub of happiness and positivity!

1. Having a lie in
2. FaceTiming with friends
3. Exciting blogging opportunities
4. Hitting 2k blog followers
5. Finishing blogmas preparation
6. Watching the Great British Bake off
7. Going on a walk with a friend
8. Cuddling with my dog
9. Sending a loved one a care package
10. Crisp leaves

You don’t have to share 10 things of course but please share a few things that have brought you joy this week. I hope this little moment of reflection helps to shift your mindset and put you in a better place.

  9. This world is heavy right now and I appreciate your gentle and important reminder. I will share that walks with Charlie (my constant companion in the form of a 134 pound Old English Sheep Dog and Boxer mix) bring the ultimate joy in life, He is a big furry guy who can run and jump like a tiny pup. Experiencing life with him is the very best. Thank you again Olivia, for this nice reminder and lovely exercise. 🤍
