Small things … BIG impact

Climate crisis, inflation, anxiety because of the seemingly never ending pandemic, the war in Ukraine … how shall one be/experience happiness in these troubled times? For me it is the small things: every day I try to go out and just look into the sky – for at least one minute. And I try to smile (or just perform the muscle-movement for smiling whilst doing it) … sounds stupid? Well, yes, maybe. But just try it. Like … for a week. And maybe you experience something. Something that makes a difference. A small one. Yet, powerful. Maybe. Remember … even a big hero*ines quest always starts with one step. A small one. And then another. And then … suddenly you look back. And you covered a marathon. As it is getting darker and soonish colder and … well, for sure, also more expensive, and exhausting and and and … it is the small everyday things/steps/actions that make a difference. Small differences add up. Consistency is key.
