Okay, so obviously happiness is not literally a bunch of tulips, but what if I told you that making just one simple gesture, could lead you to happiness.
Every day, I finish work, I pick up any bits of shopping I might need and every day I walk past the bouquets of flowers and I think to myself, I can’t waste money buying myself a bunch of flowers, so I carry on, pay for my shopping and go home.
Well today I changed the narrative. Today, I bought myself a bunch of tulips. Today I told myself I deserve the bunch of tulips.
A bunch of flowers, no matter how big or small can brighten up a room, release a fresh delicate fragrance and bring a little joy to an otherwise ordinary day.
By allowing yourself such a simple pleasure, for just a moment, you’ve allowed yourself to feel joy. You’ve told yourself you deserve to feel good.
Now I’m not saying this is going to rapidly change your life, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend going out and blowing loads of money to make yourself feel good. It’s not that happiness can only be bought.
It’s simply allowing yourself to be kind to yourself from time to time.
Allowing yourself to take a step towards a happier way of thinking.
Allowing yourself to deserve even a small piece of happiness
By planting the seed that you do deserve happiness, maybe, just maybe, it will help you to grow a happier, healthier way of life.
