🎆Why Small Pleasures Matter🎆

Although we may imagine that living a luxurious life will make us deliriously happy, the science of happiness tells a completely different story.

🔹Yes, scientists actually bothered to look into it, and the evidence is right here. Experts came up with several reasons to explain why small pleasures in life are more effective at making us feel happier than extravagant purchases and experiences.

First of all, as social beings, we are sustained by meaningful interactions with those we love. Kindness towards others and ourselves give us more joy than material possessions and large-scale experiences.

🔵Secondly, we know that the high-end pleasures are vulnerable to emotional burdens, interpersonal conflicts, and low moods beneath the exterior. They are also less sustainable, due to hedonic adaptation.

Conclusion? Enjoy & find beauty in the ordinary! While that’s not to say you shouldn’t dream of a better life — it’s not all that matters!✨
