Stay Close to People Who Feel Like Sunlight ☀️
You know those days you just need a stay cation with someone who you can
chill with and talk about life?
No elaborate plans.. just good company and time to kill together..
That's how I spent this past Saturday and it's exactly what I needed after a long week of never ending news articles, and gearing up to head into a busy Fall season.
Sharing tapas is always a good idea on a active rest day!
Good food is a good mood.. get in my belly!
Gotta have one day in the week where you have a fun free meal :)

Waffle & Fruit
Tofu Scramble & Sourdough
We did some dolphin watching, and it's amazing how many dolphins were visible. We saw groups of 3-4 several times..I was too busy watching to capture it.
Usually because your phone is glued to your face and you miss it LOL
It’s amazing how much we take little things for granted; like sunshine and good times..being present with each other.
Later, I came across this blog on Psychology Today.
It talked about this study that started during the Great Depression that studies adults and what promotes happiness, mental health, and well being.
From the article:
“IQ, genes, economic success, and fame don’t promote mental and physical health, happiness, and well-being. Relationships—specifically high-quality relationships—do”
To get all scientific and nerdy with ya 👇🏾
‘It’s the power of emotion contagion, the neurobiological “upward spiral” that surges into our brains and bodies when we are engaged in authentic relationships with people whose presence feels like sunlight.’
The good vibes you get when you spend time with your real ones..it's good for your soul on a lot of levels.
Sometimes it feels like we need to be surrounded by many friends, have all the material things, and what not to be happy; but it's much simpler to feel authentic happiness and be at peace within your body.
"We need high-quality relationships for our health and well-being just like we need food and water." -Pyshcology Today
