Title: Simple Pleasures | Artist: relaxdaily | Type: fantasia piano music session

Last year I started creating and maintaining a list. A simple but powerful one. It helps me to be more mindful and aware of life’s simple and beautiful things. It helps me to be happier and healthier. Allow me to share.

I called it ‘What Gives Me Energy’ and I got a pro tip from a friend to fill it also with little things that can be easily implemented during a week or a day. I instantly understood the potential power of this list. It would be a list very specific to me, I could not add wannabes onto it a.k.a. items I’d THINK might boost my energy, rather only items I already KNOW give me positive energy, because I already experienced that.

My first item was a quite broad one: Sport or exercise - just doing a walk, or a hike, go bike cycling, with or without music on my head. The feel good option: doing the above on a sunny day, preferably in the beautiful closeby forests. I then added feeling the sun on my skin mindfully, cooking or baking mindfully, eating unhealthy-labeled things like ice cream and pizza of the highest available quality, chopping wood, gardening, watching plants growing, insects and animals doing their thing, watch kids explore their world, to get into my day slowly and peacefully, starting with being grateful for another day above ground, a body that will get me through the day, a few stretches and little exercises, before I grind a few coffee beans (manufactured to my values) by hand, pour hot water over the powder and enjoy a couple more minutes with a cup of wonderful beverage in my hands.

I keep exploring new things I enjoy that give me energy and add them to that list. I think the magic is to often remind myself of these mostly simple things that I can actively experience throughout the day. The human mind is programmed for constant expansion and wanting to experience usually more, more, bigger, better. I try to outrick that psychological function by telling it: Thank you for your forward drive. I need that in some areas of life. In others I already found what I want and need. It’s often very simple. It gives me true pleasure. I have easy access and much choice. Every single day.

Do you maintain or carry with you a ‘What Gives Me Energy’ or ‘Simple Pleasures’ list? Is maybe kissing your partner, watching other people, reading, or even playing the piano on it? Or maybe reminding your boss of ISO 45003? What do you think of my discovery?

Then, there's also the music. I hope you enjoy it.
Stay healthy and wonderful!

*I’m Michael and I love creating music. I play, compose and record mostly calm and peaceful tunes and share these here on the relaxdaily YouTube channel since 2011.

Many use my recordings and piano music sessions as background music while reading, doing mind work, to achieve better focus, while studying, while being creative, while coding or designing a product, a service, or the world of tomorrow. From your comments, I know that my music also works as relaxing music (also stress relief, depression or anxiety-dissolving music), spa or yoga music, or to set a calm tone at cafes, bars, lounges, in hotels and restaurants, mostly at a low volume.

This project is not as much about a genre as it is about a feeling. A way of life. With my tunes, I try to take a little heat and speed of our generally quite busy lives. A soundtrack for you, when you feel the need for a calm and peaceful, light and positive tune, the relaxdaily way.

Thank you for following, liking, sharing, commenting on, and supporting the relaxdaily project!
