What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
The sun.
Call it a mood boost, call it nature’s power-up—when that UV light hits skin and cholesterol converts to vitamin D, you feel it. It’s not just warmth. It’s energy, clarity, and balance. Tanning beds get prescribed for seasonal mood disorders because sunlight is medicine. If I had to pick one thing that brings me happiness every day—it’s the sun.
Rucking.
Weighted vest on, sun overhead, feet moving. Rucking turns the whole world into a gym. I don’t just feel stronger after—I feel alive. It clears the mind, strengthens the body, and gives me direction, literally and mentally.
A clean pool.
It’s the small wins. Skimming leaves, brushing tile, flipping the pump switch. There’s satisfaction in making water sparkle—and in knowing I did it.
A good protein smoothie.
Cold. Nutritious. Bucked Up. It’s the daily ritual that tastes like progress. Not fancy. Just right.
Making things that last.
Whether I’m building an app, writing a post, tuning up a kayak, or launching a new site—creating real value brings real joy. Every little thing stacks toward something bigger.
