The saying goes that the best things in life are free and while this may be true there are lots of things that cost very little time or money but can make us content, such as waking up early or flying in hot air balloon. Here are a few others.

Exercise

It sounds silly that something that is by definition often hard work is in effect so enjoyable, but the endorphin rush one can get for going for a run on a beautiful day, for example, can bring so much pleasure. There's the feeling of achievement, of course, but also a much more general feeling of positivity that can be brought on by exercise.

Remembering Good Times

Memories can often be jogged by all sorts of things, from the obvious such as looking at photographs to the slightly more obscure like hearing a song that reminds you of a great time. While nobody would suggest that living in the past is a wise thing to do, remembering a period of pleasure for a short while can really be enjoyable.

Your Team Scoring a Vital Goal

Watching and supporting a football team can be hard work, with often little hope of reward as they continue to match expectations. However, once in a while they can get their act together and deliver - or just get plain lucky - and the ensuing barrage of attack from the opposition can provide a strange mixture of pain and joy. After all, you wouldn't be feeling this anxious if your team had played to the formbook and lost by several goals.

Reading A Good Book

Reading is a simple pleasure that almost all of us are educated enough to enjoy and when reading a book that engages us properly and excites us it can be very pleasurable and very hard to leave. Of course, if you find someone later who has also recently read this book then discussing the central themes involved can also be enjoyable.

Leaving Work On Time

Whether you enjoy your job or not - and plenty do - it's a wonderful feeling to be able to leave work on Friday knowing that you've nothing left to do for the weekend and that you have two free days where you can do whatever you want (even work!). It's rare to have such a luxury, but when you get it there can be an enormous level of self-contentment.

Going For An Unusual Trip

Flying in a hot air balloon is something that most of us won't do too often, however if we get the chance we should always take it as not only are the views breath-taking but the sheer sense of freedom is incredible. If you can, you should do it.

As you can see there are plenty of ways in which we can just enjoy being. Make sure you treasure your next such moment.
