Okay, so I stumbled upon this phrase, “Life’s too short,” and it got me thinking. I mean, we hear it all the time, right? But I wanted to really feel it, you know? So I decided to dedicate a day to just doing things that made me happy, no matter how small.
My “Life’s Too Short” Day
First, I woke up without an alarm. That’s a big deal for me, I’m usually glued to my schedule. Sunlight was streaming in, and it felt… luxurious. Just lying there, not rushing, was a great start.
Next, I made myself a ridiculously good breakfast. Normally I just grab a granola bar, but today? Pancakes, bacon, the works! I even took my time eating it, savoring every bite instead of inhaling it in front of my laptop.
- Woke up without an alarm.
- Made and enjoyed a big breakfast.
- Spent time on a hobby.
- Said “yes” to something spontaneous.
- Just chilled!
Then, I dusted off my old guitar. I haven’t played in ages, and my fingers were clumsy at first. But I pushed through the frustration and just enjoyed the feeling of making music, even if it wasn’t perfect. It was such a good time! I felt great and productive.
Later, a friend texted me about grabbing coffee. Usually, I’d say I was too busy, but today? “Life’s too short,” right? So I said yes. We sat outside, chatted, and laughed. It was simple, but it filled me up.
The rest of the day, I just followed my whims. I watched a silly movie, took a nap, and read a book in the park. No pressure, no deadlines, just pure enjoyment. No thinking!
Honestly, it wasn’t anything groundbreaking. But it was a powerful reminder that we often get so caught up in the “shoulds” that we forget to just live. This little experiment definitely inspired me to inject more of this “life’s too short” attitude into my everyday routine.
