7 things makes me happy recently
Today, I have a simple task for myself.
Write down 7 things that makes me happy in the last 2 weeks and a brief reason behind it.
1. My new routine
I adjust my routine to wake up 1 hour earlier has made me generally happy because I get to enjoy some peaceful morning moments for myself. Now I have more time to read, write and reflect before starting work.
2. 1st time speak about emotions and mental health topic with parents
This week I had my 1st ever deep conversation with my parents as adult. We even touched the topics of mental health and dealing with emotions.
This makes me really happy, because since I came to Australia, my conversation with my parents have been remained on the surface level. With the time past, we both painfully realise the gap between us is wider than our physical distance. This conversation is a breakthrough for our relationship and really pull us closer again.
3. A good book recommendation from a colleague
A good book recommendation always make me happy! The book my colleague recommended me this week is Dalai Lama’s the art of happiness.
I am reading it before bed at the moment!
4. A ‘hearty’ coffee from my local coffee shop
Every morning, I would grab a coffee with my own cup in a local cafe. I was always in a rush, so I have never noticed, even with my own coffee cup with lid on, the owner of the shop would still draw a cute heart on the coffee. I accidentally realised it when I open the lid one day. The little heart on the coffee taste like a warm hug. :)
5. New layout of my place
I shifted around my dinning table and bookshelf locations in the living room. Now I feel like I have a new home!
