We are all human beings and no matter how strong we consider ourselves to be, be it physically, mentally or emotionally, there are times when you reach a breakdown point and feel helpless, or uninspired and lose every iota of clarity. 

Life is full of ups and downs and the repetition of this cycle is inevitable, no matter what you do or how hard you try to go against it. But not every day is euphoric and not every day is gut-wrenching. Some days are moderately bright and some are like an overcast sky. 

You often have days where you feel low without any particular reason and feel completely demotivated which also hinders in the way of your personal and work life. The worst part is the frustration of figuring out why you are feeling that way in the first place. 

But, in days like these, all it takes is one little bit of motivation, to turn everything around. I certainly have had complete U-turns like these and most of the times it was just because of the little things that we often take for granted.

# Finding Happiness In The Little Things
#####

It is said that happiness is a state of mind. If that is true, it also means that the other emotions and feelings that you experience are also just states of mind. And if they are just states of mind, then you should be able to change them at will.

Easier said than done, right? When you are feeling extremely sad, it feels almost like magic to be able to change it to happiness, just like that. And yet, some things can have exactly that kind of magical effect in changing your moods.

Talking with a loved one, playing with one's pet, taking a break from work and just watching your favourite movies or tv shows, a short walk in the park, playing a video game, going out with a friend and having a hearty dinner, watching rainfall and just feeling that cool breeze in your face, and a ton of other little things that you often tend to overlook in your busy lives can turn your day around in a snap.

It really is that easy sometimes. I had a similar day today and spending some quality time with my family lifted my spirits and that made me feel a hundred times better than before. This made me realise that sometimes we tend to make even little problems huge by overthinking about them or not being able to let go. Spending some time away from that gives your perspective and is definitely healthy for your mental and emotional well being.
