'Pinch Me' Moments
Hello friends!
A little phrase that I’ve picked up as I’ve gotten older is that life is full of ‘pinch me’ moments. Moments where you just have to stop and take a minute. In that moment, all you can think of is ‘pinch me’. Whether it’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to travel or just a really cool full circle moment. Each and every one of us has experienced a ‘pinch me’ moment. All of our ‘pinch me’ moments are unique to our own personal goals, dreams, beliefs, passions, inspirations, etc.
‘Pinch me’ moments can literally be whatever we want them to be. Personally, I have always wanted to live in California. I couldn’t be more in love with where I live. It’s a place where everyone is just free to be whoever they want to be. People dress however they want. They eat however they want. They say whatever they want. They do whatever they want. There’s literally no rules and no judgement! Everyone is out here doing what makes them happy and chasing their dreams. There’s always something to do out here. I seriously have a list on my phone of places I want to visit, restaurants I want to eat at, workout classes I want to try, along with countless other lists. I find myself doing things I’ve always dreamed of doing. I have to stop and think to myself ‘pinch me’. I’m currently living my dream life! I don’t ever want to overlook that. I’m so grateful and truly just thankful for all the opportunities.
It’s easy to get caught up in planning a dream vacation on Pinterest or wishing you were traveling to somewhere featured in a viral Tik Tok. But it’s just as easy to overlook the little moments in our daily routines that are magical. Here’s a few ‘pinch me’ moments that literally happen each and every day -
Waking up early and seeing the sunrise!
Having lunch with friends and laughing hysterically!
Going on a walk or a run! It’s so easy to overlook what a blessing it is to be healthy and able to move your body.
Making your favorite coffee or tea!
A job interview!
Long car rides with good music!
Trying a new recipe!
Learning to play an instrument!
Finding your new favorite song!
Seeing all the plants blossom and bloom because spring is here!
It’s fun to focus on the big moments in life, but let’s not forget the small moments. The small moments make up the majority of our life. Small moments are magical and meaningful whether or not we realize it. We should all be romanticizing and investing in the life we are currently living. We can’t wait for ‘someday’ or ‘one day’. Let’s embrace our current lives and find as many ‘pinch me’ moments as possible. There’s no such thing as small moment. Our life is comprised of little moments that all amount to the big picture.
This week let’s all try to stop and take a second to appreciate the ‘pinch me’ moments. Even if it’s the tiniest little moment, it’s worth it and it means something. We are constantly experiencing ‘pinch me’ moments and that’s what makes life so exciting and fun. 🦋
