Fresh bread with butter. Some days, that's enough.
The bar for happiness is allowed to be much lower than you think.
warm bread and melting butter, today the bar is low enough
You used to think happiness was something bigger. A great career. A perfect relationship. The dream apartment. Something to acquire, something to achieve.
Maybe it's actually different. A piece of warm bread, a generous spread of butter, the butter melting into the crust just right. Sunlight hitting the plate at a soft angle. The smell of wheat in the air.
This is enough today. More than that, being able to notice that this is enough is the foundation of a happiness that lasts. Lower the bar today. Lower it on purpose.
Try this today
- Eat your next meal with a little extra attention
- Tell yourself "this is enough" three times in your head
- Buy yourself one small thing you actually like
