How to get pleasure with very simple gestures?

Pleasure often comes from a tiny bit: attention, a sensation, a well-deserved break. Follow the guide.

"Happiness is not always found in an eternally blue sky, but also in the simplest things in life," said Confucius. Because yes, it is possible to seize the pleasures of life by carrying out, on a daily basis, actions that may seem trivial. How? 'Or' What ? Here are some ideas you can make your own.

Make others happy

No need to offer a multitude of gifts to please and make you happy. Little attentions are enough. Leave a note on the fridge for your partner before you go to work in the morning. Greet your neighbor when you walk through the door. You will then see their eyes light up. Nothing better to feel light and appreciated.

In the hot shower, press pause

In your shower, give yourself enough time to feel that fullness when you put your head in hot water. Tilt your head back, close your eyes (I don't know about you, but we find that the pleasure is increased tenfold when you close your eyes) … The steam invades the bathroom, and you almost believe yourself in the hammam. What if you buy orange blossom shower gel or argan oil for the next time?

Reboost yourself with the smile of others

Your child who smiles at you, your grandpa who bursts out laughing, the baby in the supermarket queue who stops crying because you give him a nice wink… All these moments have in common this little spark of joy , a simple little happiness, just human, and highly transmissible, we love it!

Meet up with friends

Nothing better than an evening with friends to end a busy day in style. To change the atmosphere, to discuss, to savor a moment of joy. To you lightness, fun, shared joy. PRO-FI-TER is your watchword. With your girlfriends, your lifelong friends and your coolest colleagues, you sit down over a good meal, you bring back fond memories, you boost each other, and fill up the positive vibes! History to recharge your batteries …

End your meal with a little treat

Paragraph in partnership with Perle de Lait

A Perle de lait is fresh, it's smooth … and it's a pleasure. How to resist it? By not resisting it. After a good meal, make yourself comfortable in your favorite chair and take the time to enjoy it. Close your eyes, become aware of what is going on in your palate. A simple pleasure that you will undoubtedly appreciate at its true value.

Take off your shoes and walk barefoot

It seems that walking barefoot in a soft lawn or a thick carpet does a lot of good. So we release our feet, we take off socks and shoes and we walk slowly, unfolding the sole of the foot, and we listen to its sensations. The body relaxes, the spine relaxes, it's silly, it feels good and it even seems to be very good for the circulation! The good idea: it can even give rise to a moment of pleasure shared with his children, like a game.

Sing!

No matter how talented you are, the idea here is to sing, whistle, hum, alone or better yet, with others. Singing allows you to listen to your favorite songs and sing them with undisguised pleasure.
Otherwise, try the playback in front of your mirror by taking yourself for Celine Dion or the Callas! Catch your breath (falsely) at the same time as the divas, and you'll think you're gifted! You will quickly feel the endorphins invade you.

Take the time to dream … awake

Let your mind wander… Imagine yourself on a white sand beach with a cocktail in your hand. Think back to the wind that caresses your skin, the heat in the sand, even the smells… A magical moment that will allow you to escape in full consciousness. Breathe deeply to gain serenity. Once back on earth you will just feel light.

List all your moments of happiness

Have you had a fit of giggles with your best friend? Did you spend a pleasant evening with your lover in front of the TV? Did you do a manual activity with your children? Write it down on a piece of paper and take it out any time of the day to remind you of that intense feeling …

Have fun with your family

What could be more important than the family? Your children, your husband, your parents, your brothers and sisters… They are precious beings who surround you. Take the time to leaf through family albums, to tell about your exploits, to laugh together for a little nothing. Moments that will give you pleasure and that will remain engraved in your heart.

Treat yourself to a bouquet of flowers

Who says you can't indulge yourself? Do you think freesias have a sweet scent? Do you love hydrangeas that you can dry out? Do you want to decorate your table with a flower vase containing a gerbera? Why deprive yourself of it? You're never better served than by yourself, right?
