How to Romanticize your Life!
1. Celebrate the holidays!
Holiday should be special. They only come around once a year and without even knowing it can pass by in a blink.
Decorate your home, have people over, bake a yummy holiday dessert, and get into the holiday spirit!
So this is your sign to stop pretending like it is just another day. Use the opportunity to make something of it.
It could be as simple as spending some extra time getting ready.
Curl your hair, put on a cute festive outfit and rock the day.
Growing up, holidays were so magical. Maybe it was because as a child your imagination runs wild, but maybe it was because your parents made each holiday special.
As an adult, I quickly realized that if I don’t, nobody will.
So start celebrating the holidays!
2. Start a gratitude journal
Take 5-10 minutes from each day or week and express gratitude for whatever you are thankful for; however big or small.
You can add this into your nighttime routine: Wash your face, brush your teeth, light a candle and hop in bed and write down your daily gratitude.
No matter how bad your day was, I promise that there is always some little hint of good you can find somewhere.
If would also be a great some to write down your manifestations because the more you put something into existing, the more likely it will happen.
Something simple as:
- Tomorrow will be a good day
- Tomorrow I will get everything I need to finished
- I will clean the house
- I will get to work on time
Whatever is it that you want, state it confidently and go to sleep with that in your mind.
Eliminate any negative talk.
It might seem silly but manifestation really works. Your mind is SO powerful!
Take a few minutes at the end of the day to write down your daily gratitude and manifestations.
3. Acknowledge that there is no such thing as perfect!
Social media can be very deceiving and often times portrays only the highlights of people lives.
Social media is a great way to stay connected with friends and family but thinking too much and consuming too much, can be detrimental.
Life isn’t always fairy tails and dandelions. Family doesn’t always get along, every day isn’t always exciting, and hardships happen to everyone.
All these things typically aren’t shared on social media or talked about.
In these times, know that life isn’t perfect. Romanticize life for what it is and embrace the imperfection.
In order to romanticize the your life in a realistic way, acknowledge that there is no such thing as perfect and no such thing as the “right way”.
Have your heard of the Burnt Toast Theory?
The Burnt Toast Theory explains that:
“If you burn your toast in the morning, the time you spend making another toast may have saved you from a car accident; or make you late to a meeting but you meet someone on the way that will become special in your life.”
Even though you have inconveniences or hardships, your life is on a path and something better will come.
This is what I think about when things just aren’t going my way and it has just made me more positive and forgiving.
4. Create traditions
Creating traditions are such a cute and fun way to romanticize life. Traditions get you to stop and enjoy little events and moments.
It is something you can look forward to and celebrate, whether it is a weekly, monthly, or yearly tradition.
5. Make nighttime and morning routines!
Morning and nighttime routines are so satisfying and relaxing.
Something about them will just make you feel like you are a Kardashian.
When you start and end the day doing things that make you feel good, rather than just rushing to work first thing in the morning or staying up til 2am with a giant screen in your face, you will see a drastic change in your life.
These are times you stops and smell the rose and actually romanticize your life.
Romanticize the birds chirping in the morning and the peace and quiet at night.
And romanticize your life with a killer customized morning and nighttime routine!
6. Light your favorite candle
The aesthetic and tone that a lit candle brings is so graceful and calm.
This might be controversial but I LOVE wood and pine scented candles. If my house smells like I’m in the middle of a pine forest, it makes so happy and relaxed.
Lighting your favorite candle is the most simple and easiest way to create a warm and peaceful tone perfect to romanticize your life.
7. Make everything an event
One way to romanticize your life is to make everything an event, even the little things.
So instead of the just watching a movie- pop some popcorn, get into your comfiest pajamas and spend the night really WATCHING a movie. Make it a full event.
Instead of just going for a walk- put a matching workout set on, listening to podcast and walking style.
Not everyday is not going to be glamorous and exciting, but you can make it as exciting as possible.
So romanticize your life now!
At the end of the day your life should feel special and feel valuable.
When you start romanticizing your life, you appreciate the small moments in your everyday.
You start noticing the cute old couple walking across the street together and the time you picking the perfect watermelon at the grocery store.
Those small little moments are what makes the biggest difference in your happiness and contentment with your life.
Time is simply space; what matters is how you use it. If you fill your time intentionally with self-love, letting go, and building the new habits you need, that would make a real difference. – Yung Pueblo
I’m not waiting around for life to happen to me anymore. I’m intentionally seeking joy at every moment.
