Big Pleasure Small Pleasure







The Joy Of Small Pleasures : In my personal opinion, In life we are always focused on the big pleasures….Becoming rich, Buying an house, Buying a car, Getting ahead in career. In this process we lose sight of the small pleasures in life ….Playing with your kid on the floor, Taking Stroll in the park, Going for Morning Walk, Watching a nice movie, Calling up a relative or friend, Volunteering for an activity, Reading a Good book, Doing Yoga.

The question really is how to identify the small pleasures…Draw a 4-Blocker of the Pleasure derived vs Effort.

Fill in the activities inside the block based on the effort required and the pleasure derived. Then Focus on the activities that fall in the Top Left block High on Pleasure , Low on Effort

If you do an analysis, the big pleasures are mostly activities with the future focus. For ex., I want to be financially independent in 10 years. I want to purchase house in another 2 years .

But the small pleasures items are focused on the present. It makes you feel happy now which is a great way to relieve the stress I feel its the easiest way to practice “Be Here Now”

I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
