What is the meaning of life?
Each person has a different answer, such as living, loving, having children or surviving. We worry about the meaning of life, but little about how we feel in our life, we rarely have time to reflect on whether we are and are at the point where we want to be. The craziness of everyday life does not allow us to become aware of whether our life has the meaning we want it to have and whether we feel happy or enjoy it on a daily basis. We often leave it to the weekend or vacations to be happy and enjoy ourselves, and some people I know wait until retirement.
For me, life has meaning if I am well and happy. Simple, isn’t it? The first thing to be well is our state of health, both physical and mental, and starting from an acceptable health we can be happy.
How to be happy?
Each person has a different answer: travel, win the lottery, have a child, fall in love, buy a house, get promoted at work or leave that oppressive job.
For me the secret of happiness lies in the smallest details, a good coffee, a walk at dawn along the seafront, a bubble bath, playing with my dog, having lunch with friends, a nap on my couch, the smell of an artisan bakery….
I have already passed the halfway point of my life and maybe that is what makes me become aware of the small details to give meaning to my life and be happy. I am no longer dazzled by happiness goals that do not depend on me. I try in my daily routine a functional pleasure of what surrounds me, small details that make me enjoy, a sound, a light, a smell, a food, a blanket on the couch … all my senses oriented to enjoy thanks to Sensory Interior Design.
