First I would like to ask you a question: “Do you know how to enjoy life and enjoy it?” I invite everyone honestly to answer this question. Very often you can hear in our daily conversations thoughts of difficulties, problems, but for some reason, we often do not notice simple joys, or rather do not attach special importance to it. You know, we probably take them for granted.
If all the same joys and pleasures of life for someone is not enough, I very much hope that our article will help to look at them from a slightly different angle, to think and, perhaps, to rethink some of the simplest things.
How to learn to enjoy life and enjoy it
All, perhaps, at some point wonder what the meaning of life is, but whatever answer we find for ourselves, in most cases we come to the conclusion that if one lives this life, it is better to do this with pleasure.
But is it always possible? Why so often it turns out that instead of experiencing joy from life and using the time allotted to us, to ourselves for good, do we slip into one depth or another? That one obstacle rises on the path to our happiness, then something else, and neither the end nor the edge can be seen … And how to learn to enjoy life, despite all the circumstances?
Enjoy life here and now
And there are so many ways to improve your life right here and now, make it easier and more joyful. And often these small moments have a much greater impact on our state than something global. No need to lament over how much you need to change in life so that it becomes what we would like. You can already do something right now – for the mood, for joy, for yourself.
To begin with, it would be worthwhile to more often realize yourself here and now. We are so busy with what was, or what will be, that the present often does not have enough time. We are experiencing because of what happened, or because of what can happen, and so deeply and permanently stuck in this that we are always bad in our lives. But what is the point?
Sometimes you just have to pull yourself out of these thoughts and let yourself be in the present moment. Here’s the table I’m sitting on, here’s the tasty tea in my favorite cup, here’s my job. Everything is not so bad and even very good if you think about it. Here is my house, my kitchen, hot water, I wash the dishes. Quiet, home evening. How to overestimate the value of this? I walk down the street, I’m cold, I want to warm, but in my hand is the hand of my child, and how can I be dissatisfied with something if we are together?

Be able to appreciate what we have
We need to appreciate what we have. We are so well aware of this, the repetition of these words in places even filled with nausea, but in the end, do we value? The fact that for us the ordinary, someone can only dream of the wildest dreams – that everyone was healthy, full so that you can wake up in a warm house, next to dear people. Someone dreams about family, someone about freedom, someone about high-paid work, someone – about doing things they love, even to the detriment of income, someone wants to gather around a big company, and another you only need one thing – to be left alone, some want to live in warm countries, and someone yearns for winter and snow … And we have it. And it seems to us so ordinary and worthless. But is it? Of course not. If you want to change something in life, you need to change it, but this does not mean that you should not appreciate what is, because this is also our achievements, an expression of ourselves. Well, how can you deny yourself?
You must be able to enjoy trifles. Serious accomplishments are good, but to every great achievement leads the road from everyday life, and it is up to us whether this everyday life will be colored with small joys. Boredom suddenly begins to roll up, it is worth looking around, looking inside yourself – where will the flame flicker?
If we want someone to save us, we must save ourselves
Do not expect that someone will make us happy, cheerful, will do something to make us feel better. Yes, it may be inhumane, but we all avoid energy pits, try to stay away from those who have not enough strength. So when they are not enough for us, the first task is to raise the tone to ourselves. Only we can do it ourselves – pull ourselves out of the swamp by the hair, and then the people around us will join in this activity with joy – we too will take over the company or ourselves, because it’s always easier and more fun for someone to do it.
In any case, always remember – our joy is always in our hands. Sometimes I want to shift responsibility for my condition to someone or something-my relatives, my husbands, wives, mothers, children, other relatives who are interfering with my life, the circumstances, problems with work, health and a lot of other things … But this all leads to a dead end because often this is something that we can not affect. But we can always influence ourselves. And therefore, when we take responsibility for ourselves, everything changes in our lives, it really changes.
So it always depends on us, whether we will enjoy life, rejoice in it. And ways how to learn to enjoy life, and opportunities for this can always be found – there would be a desire. And if there is no desire, then you can awaken it in yourself – in the same way, without waving to the great, and step by step, a smile behind a smile, gratitude for gratitude.
To thank life for everything
Yes, of course, do not forget to thank for everything – life, people, the world, yourself, necessarily yourself too. And everything will be fine, there will be joy in life. It already exists – you just need to see it, realize it here and now, feel its presence in life, its value and thank. There is nothing in the world that does not respond to these feelings so that we will not remain unheeded. And our joy will always be with us.
Thank you very much for such seemingly simple thoughts, but how much wisdom there is in them. To find here such simple moments of joy, to notice them, to thank people, our life, ourselves for everything that is in our life. Comprehend the lessons of life, develop and move on. I believe that many, after reading the article, will look a little differently at what is going on in their lives.
