Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Taking care of my house plants. 🪴

I got my first set of plants five years ago. It was the start of having a hobby just for me. Plants truly bring me so much joy. Happy to share that they are thriving. Currently most proud of my monstera. All the watering, misting leaves, fertilizing, and repotting when needed has been so therapeutic for me. It’s literal therapy.

I recently added a new plant to my collection. It just caught my eye but I had no idea what it even was. So I decided to ask the guy working there if he knew what it was. He didn’t. I bought it anyways. Later though, I looked at the details on the photo I took; Prayer plant. If I was looking for a sign from the universe this was it. Apparently this new moon will be a big time for me as an Aries Sun Taurus Rising. Basically, I’m deciding to take the leap of faith.

This prompt honestly felt impossible for me to decide on just “one habit that brings you joy”. For me? There are many habits that bring me joy. I only wrote about a habit that’s something just for me, mainly because I’m working on acknowledging things that bring me joy as an individual. In my life, there are habits for myself and habits with others. It’s easy to look at some of the habits as small but I personally think that’s what matters most. It’s considering yourself and one another. Habits like checking in on one another and saying I love you. That alone spreads so much positivity and joy.

On days where it feels dark, hold onto to those moments that bring you joy.

It’s okay to struggle and have bad days. It’s okay to still be healing. If you have habits that bring you joy, cherish it.
