Create Beauty Around Yourself...

"How can a world that makes such wonderful things, be so bad?" YES I just quoted The Little Mermaid. There is so much beauty all around us but sometimes it is so easy to focus on our trials, our weaknesses or toxic people around us. I have found that surrounding myself with beautiful things helps me keep my thoughts positive & not dwell in adversity. I'm not saying that material things will help you find happiness, because they will not. THIS post that I wrote a few months ago talks about finding happiness.  

These are some of the things that I surround myself with to help me keep my thoughts positive: 

• Art, photography & editing 
• Postcards 
• Uplifting music playlists 
• Coke Zero 
• Photos of Christ & the Temple 
• Fresh flowers 
• Shopping at thrift stores 
• Having my nails painted 
• Scriptures 
• Yummy salads 
• Perfume 

Take some time today to reflect on the little things that make you happy. Smells, tastes, things you look at or see on the daily. Surround yourself with little things that help you feel pockets of happiness to get you through the long says & hard times.
