Let’s face it—some days feel heavy for no clear reason.
You’re not in a full-blown crisis, but something’s just… off.
You’re stuck in your head. The spark is missing. You feel blah.

That’s when you need your Bliss List.
✨ A personal menu of simple, soul-soothing things that make you feel like you again.

I started mine during a particularly funky season in my life. I was craving joy—but not the big, dramatic kind. I didn’t need a vacation. I just needed relief. I needed to remember that little things could still lift me.

So I started writing down everything that made me feel light, clear, and cared for—even for just five minutes. And guess what? It worked.

What’s a Bliss List?

It’s a go-to list of activities, comforts, and mood-boosters that help you shift from stressed to soothed, from frazzled to grounded.

The key? They’re small. Simple. Repeatable.
You don’t have to plan them, earn them, or spend a ton of money.
They’re already within reach—you just need to remember them.
