Finding Joy in the Little Things: Introducing the La-boha Lifestyle

 

These days, I find myself slowing down.

Not because life has gotten easier, but because I’ve started noticing what truly matters.

I’ve begun to call it La-boha: La vie Belle et Ordinaire, Habitude Appréciée— a lifestyle built on beautiful, ordinary moments and the habit of appreciation. Not dramatic, not revolutionary, but profoundly peaceful.

 

☕ My Morning La-boha Ritual

Every morning, I begin with:

• Grinding fresh coffee beans while opening the window
• Stretching slowly while the kettle hums
• Reading one page of a book before checking my phone

It sounds simple, and it is. But this small routine is what keeps me centered.

 

 Objects That Quietly Spark Joy

These are the little things I use almost daily:

• ✔️ A ceramic coffee dripper that never fails me
• ✔️ A wooden tray I use for breakfast or journaling
• ✔️ A small desk diffuser with a lavender blend

They are just things. But when thoughtfully chosen, they become anchors in my day.

💭 Emotional Self-Talk, Gently and Often

On chaotic days with work, kids, or just a restless heart, I pause and say to myself:

"You’re doing fine. Breathe. Let it be slow."

This habit—of speaking kindly to myself—has been more powerful than any productivity hack I’ve tried.

 

 

 

📸 Sharing La-boha Online (and Why I Do It)

I’ve started documenting these small moments—sometimes as a blog post, sometimes as a vlog, sometimes just a photo with a sentence or two.

To some, it may look like “nothing much.” But to others, it's a reminder to pause, to feel, to be.

And the beauty is: these posts often resonate most. People don't always want more—they want something real. And real is what La-boha is all about.

 

✨ La-boha Lifestyle = Brand + Healing + Monetization

As I share more of this lifestyle, it’s also become a source of income. Not by forcing anything—but by naturally integrating:

• 📦 Affiliate links to what I already use
• 📝 Printable morning planners or gratitude sheets I design
• 📹 Soft, minimalist vlog clips with peaceful music

 

🌿 A Message to You

If you’re here, maybe your soul is also craving a little stillness.

Try starting with one cup of tea, an open window, or a few minutes with no noise.

That could be your first La-boha moment.

Because sometimes, the smallest things hold the greatest peace.
