7 Wonderful Ways to Celebrate Life ...

Why wait for others to buy you flowers? Buying yourself flowers is one of the best ways to celebrate life. You can smell them, choose any flowers and colors you like, and it’s a great treat that doesn’t involve any materialistic value or calories. Not only do you celebrate life by buying flowers, but you also bring color and happiness into your home. There’s nothing like entering a room and seeing some fresh, beautiful flowers on the table.

Bake anything you like, from a simple loaf to something more complicated and prettier. Who says you need a birthday to eat cake? I like baking cakes because I like knowing what I eat and I sometimes use healthier substitute ingredients; but every time I bake, it feels like a small celebration every day that week when I cut myself a slice. It’s also great to bake a cake for someone you love to show the person you care about them.

Watching TV is probably not the most obvious way to celebrate life, but don’t we all have these days when you’re just too busy and stressed to laugh out loud? On days like those, turn on the TV when you come home and watch something funny. No matter how stressed or sad you are, comedy will make you laugh out loud and your mood will be lifted in no time. I hardly watch TV, unless there’s something funny to watch. You only live once and laughing out loud should be on the top of your to-do list every single day.

Again, we all get very busy, but helping someone can mean a lot to the person and to you. It doesn’t have to be something big, and it definitely doesn’t have to take up your whole day. Helping someone can be done in minutes. You could maybe introduce your unemployed friend to your boss or you could bring your colleague, who is too busy, lunch. There are just a few small ways to help someone you love, but of course it’s also great to help those you don’t know.

Buying new lingerie is one of the best ways to celebrate life. It will not only make you feel feminine and sexy, it’s also a way to celebrate your body. The best thing about wearing new lingerie is that you’re the only one who knows it, and it’s not like showing off your new boots to your friends. New lingerie can also be a treat for your lover, especially if you surprise him in an unexpected moment. No matter what age you are, buying new lingerie reminds you to accept and love your body the way it is.

There’s something about buying scented candles and lighting them in your house. It’s romantic, creates an ambiance, gives the room a warm feeling and it can really make you love your home. You can buy different scented candles for every room, for example something relaxing for the bedroom and something fresh for the bathroom. The smells make you feel at home and at ease. Lighting candles in all rooms may seem unnecessary, but every time you walk into that room, you’ll feel happy, smelling and seeing the candle.

Adults don’t play enough. Playing is fun, can reduce stress and there are so many ways to play. Once in a while, try to make time to play and consider it as a celebration of life. You could play outside with your dog, plan a night with your friends full of silly games or just play a game on your phone. The truth is, when you play, everything else becomes irrelevant for a moment, which I think is a great way to celebrate life and to let go from whatever else is happening in your life.

These are not only wonderful ways to celebrate life. They are also a reminder that you don’t have to be so strict on yourself and that there’s more than just eating, sleeping and working. Depending on what works for you, you can come up with many different ways to celebrate your life and it’s great to know that there’s no right or wrong. What is your favorite way to celebrate life?
