My story:
I’ve heard from many different people that they find it enlightening or comforting when they see me get excited or fascinated about the smallest of things. I feel like this has always been a characteristic of mine, but even more so since becoming a minimalist. Since cutting things out of my life, I’m learning how every small thing can be some sort of impact in my life. I’m learning to appreciate everything from tiny gifts to just a good meaningful conversation to a small yet beautiful aspect of my surroundings. I find that seeing even the “insignificant” things as beautiful or fascinating a great way to live.
2 Tips for how to be easily fascinated:
- Find something good in everything you see and do. This is kind of like eye-spy. Open your eyes wider to your surroundings and look for things that you may not have otherwise. Pick out a beautiful flower from a garden or a specifically colorful leaf on an autumn tree. Doing these kinds of exercises will help you begin to see every little thing that is important in your life.
- Be grateful for everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Sometimes you get dealt a bad hand and everything seems to be going wrong. These are the days you just have to look harder for the little important things in your life. Maybe you have a bad experience with a group of people you have to work with. Look for something good that may have come put of that experience.
It’s hard to live this way everyday, but the more you begin to see wonder in the tiny things in life, the more you’ll appreciate the bigger things in life, and a more content & happy of a lifestyle you’ll start to live.

I don’t know if I’m easily fascinated the way that you are, but I think I find joy in really simple things. Being pretty introverted, it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy. For me, I could have an amazing day just being alone reading, or hanging out with my fiance, or writing on my blog. I’m not the type of person to have a bucket list or anything like that, because I don’t want my goals for happiness to be any complex, unattainable adventure, but rather something simple where I can relax and be myself.
Nice! I love what you said about not having complex goals for you happiness- being content and happy doesn’t always come from big crazy adventures, not often then not it comes from the small things like reading books and just hanging out💕
