We’ve all heard that the little things in life are the important things. That the little things are the big things.
I’m not sure that I buy that 100% but I WILL admit that little things can make a huge difference!
Case in point- recently we got a new showerhead. Not normally a huge cause for celebration, but holy cow has that thing made our lives better! It’s got 8 settings including massage and soft full spray. It makes every shower feel like you’re in a nice hotel in the best possible way. It’s way nicer than the one at the Marriott I was just at for work, I’ll tell you that! That might just be the best $35 I’ve spent in a LONG time.
Second example- I buy my own pens for work. I have terrible handwriting, so having finer tipped pens is a must. I get multipacks of 10+ colors for fun AND because it helps me organize my notes. For $20 I’m happy every time I pick up a pen. How many things that small can have that kind of an impact?
What small treat can you give yourself that will make you happier for months or even years? You might be surprised how far a little self-care goes.
