The category this is in is "enjoy life". What steps are you taking to enjoy your life right now? Do you think you can enjoy life in some ways even when things seem to conspire against you? Or does your joy in life depend on what is currently going on in around your life and your family? I can see why people struggle with that.

Enjoy life it´s well, give value of what was given to you when you were born.
The simple thing that you´re human makes you feel and understand lots of stuff in the world , enjoy life it´s to keep doing that discover create and htis goes to bad or good things in times of bad pain or crazy laughs.
XD enjoy life it´s live and want to live basicly
Hope you got an idea of my side of enjoy life ;)

I have to remind myself to enjoy life, take it easy on myself, and just do what has to be done, even if it is a nap. I have never liked sleeping extra, but my schedule has me a little worn out so I went back to bed for two hours this morning. On doing something I enjoy. . . well, we went out of town on the 13th, and ate out twice, and went to a small zoo. I really appreciated being with my hubby. I just do not often give myself permission to enjoy. How about you. What are you doing to enjoy life?

I'm trying to live for the moment. There really isn't money for any extra anything, but I think it's good because I can focus on something non material. And I'm enjoying the weather. And I'm enjoying it when one of my favorite shows comes on TV. And actually, my dad took me out for lunch yesterday for Valentine's Day. And I cherished the time. : )

I really agree with you on this one. I am trying to be thankful more often, and that helps me enjoy life. It is the old "count your blessings" idea, and it does really work.

I knew our life is not as great if compared to some of our relatives but slightly better than the others. If I will compare always and just look at everything that we don't have, I will not wake up in the morning to enjoy life. However, I learned life was not that bad really, I wonder how we manage to survive. Maybe because of having sense of humor, not being always too serious about life and appreciating whatever we have no matter how small. I can't understand families that are wealthy yet have many conflicts inside their homes. At least, even if we are not that rich, our house is peaceful and contented.

I am enjoying my life because I have learned to be contented. I am a cheap thriller, just for simple things I will definitely enjoy and be happy. but this doesn't necessarily mean that my ambitions are very low. I just get tired of fighting and wanting and needing... so I take what is offer to me and make the BEST out of it? That thought I don't know and I am not sure is right. but at the moment, I am enjoying

For me there are so many joys in life...my family, friends, even my crafting and other hobbies....I do find ways to enjoy life. When my kids were little and there wasn't alot of money we found so many simple ways to enjoy life without spending a cent...so enjoying life doesn't even depend on dollars!

I will admit leaving my last job made things harder financially, but it really helped me enjoy life more. I hated that place and that spilled over into my everyday life. I don't love my jobs right now, but I can tolerate both of them at least. I don't get mad or upset everyday at work and I don't have people calling me all the time when I am off work bugging me about work issues.

My enjoyment of life goes hand in hand with what's going on around me.
It's definitely gotten better over the past few weeks.. but I'm finding life at home pretty stressful sometimes too.. probably not as stressful as when I was trying to work though.

I am very much aware of the fact that my life is not perfect. That there are problems that exists. But I no longer let myself sulk in a corner and go crazy thinking about them. I know that I may not be able to become rich like others, but just knowing that somehow,my kids have a house to live and are all able to go to school and can eat 3 times in day, then I should be more than thankful and happy.
Enjoying life is making things looks beautiful and great even when times get tough and make oneself stress-free.

Hi,
I live a very simple life and i do love to enjoy each moment of my blessed life. Oh for me enjoyment includes a small chat/text with friends, having a collegue at my desk to have a cup of tea, playing with my children/ fighting with my husband, laughing out louder on the silly/stupid jokes are all considered as joys of my daily routine.
When things seems to conspire against you...i may not be able to change the situations but at the same time i don't lose confidence. Lot of times family also contributes to my joy/happiness..

Hi there ! I got a sad life but no choice for me i have to make myself happy . We can not depend always for others about our happiness. Happiness can't be bought nor be borrowed , it must come from within ! Sometimes i wished that there is a for sale happiness and surely i will buy many. Life is too short to be sad always , i need to do something , i need to divert and i need to see the brighter side of life. That is why it is so beautiful to be in Mylot for through this i am leaving my sad , melancholic side.

Think of Every day as it is the last drop of your dew (life). We should pay attention to even the little single thing in our life. We should be grateful that we could see the world, feel, touch, smell, walk, in love, . So many reasons to enjoy life to the fullest. It is a good thing to give Thanks to the Lord.
I come before YOU today. There is just one thing i want to say. Thank You Lord for all you given to me, For all the blessing that I didn't see. With a grateful heart, I will bless your name Thank you Lord.

hi dear Ambie, I have started to really enjoy life when a painful situation cleared up almost 2 years ago. I am a very happy person now and I thought it could not get any better than it already was. Right now I am blessed with some additional ME time which I desperately need and my friends have already noticed that too, I am smiling more and in a good mood-
I think that God is in control and although the situation as is right now means a little discomfort like walking to and from the station which is an hour daily total, or doing my own grocery shopping, on Saturdays when the shop is packed full, instead of catching up on sleep, I am still a happy camper and am glad about things as they are now.

To enjoy life it is important to feel good in whatever you do. Sometimes things don't interest you and you fell dull, boring and unenthusiastic. Personally I listen to some peppy songs and some of my other fav numbers, this really changes my mood. On some occasions I enjoy by talking to my friends and having a good laugh. I also enjoy a lot by watching funny videos and comedy shows. Fun can be had even in simple things, at least that's what I believe.
