Today I took a pilates class to start my morning, and after that class I took a shower. During my shower, I got this blog post idea so I knew I had to post it so I wouldn’t lose this idea! The point is, we all have our good days and bad days, but it’s always the little things that make us happy that helps us see the good in everyday. Sometimes if you had a bad day, a small gesture of kindness and happiness can go a long way. Let me tell you I LOVED starting my day with pilates because I was able to start off with a good workout so I was energized throughout the day, it definitely made me feel happier! With that being said, here’s a list of 25 things that you can incorporate into any day to add some positivity into your day!
