What does romanticizing mean to you? That’s when we realize we have no idea what it means.
Romanticizing your life means reaching to a feeling of “being in a movie and you’re the main character”. What would you do, How would you behave, How would you feel if you’re the main character of your movie? That’s the whole point of this blog.
You can romanticize whatever the way you want because that’s your own movie, you’re the director, you’ve the script, you’re the main character.
But I’ll share you the best practices that you can use to feel like in a movie!
1. Morning Privilege
First thing first!
The beginning of your day set the mood for the whole. That’s why you need a really good routines that works well for you.
- Make a cup of coffee, take every sip with enjoyment of taste
- Take a 5mins and journal your thoughts and emotions
- Say out loud your affirmations by really feeling them
- Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath for 10mins
- Move your body, could be yoga or pilate or gym as you wish
These habits are just examples that works well for me. It makes me feel like a princess who is starting her day. You can do it differently just the way you wish. Do things that will make you feel like a princess or a queen or a king.
2. Create Your Own Movie
Now that you’ve done your morning, let’s say. Here’s how you’ll spend your whole day.
Imagine someone is following around and filming your life. It’ll come out as “Your Name” movie. What do you want to showcase in it? What kind of person you want to be seen as? What energy do you want to reflect? – A queen, a winner, a successful woman. (I’m sure you don’t want to appear as a loser to be honest)
The whole script is in your hand. You’re the creator. You’re the main character, so act like one. Dress up for yourself. Start the day with a big smile. Treat people like kindness and love. Go out and experience. Try new things. Meet new people. Take the risks.
Be motivated to take actions. Be intentional with how you spend your time. Be grateful for everything and everyone in your life. Be confident in who you are. Be soft. Be strong. Be kind.
Be who you want to be!
3. Find Beauty in Everything
This is my favorite part of romanticizing everyday life. We always get caught up in stress about work, bills, study, but we rarely stop to appreciate the beauty around us.
There’s beauty in everything, everywhere, everyone. Train your mind to look for it. Everyday, list 5 things you find beautiful. It doesn’t have to be tangible thing.
It could be: flowers, cats, dogs, smiles, babies, the sun, the moon, traffic, grandpas and grandmas, your face, your eyes, people’s voices, accessories, peace, songs, vibes, movie, laughs, anything.
You just have to see it and feel it. Feel the beauty. Feel the gratitude of having the chance to experience this beauty. Life itself is so beautiful and romantic already.
4. Bring Art to Your Daily Life
One thing about life is you can choose. You can live a boring repeated life or you can choose to make your days more exciting and fun if you want.
Bring art to your life. Then you might be thinking, “I can’t play any instruments”.
However, art could be dancing, singing, writing, cooking, painting, or capturing beautiful moments with your phone, creating something beautiful, creating something that stimulates our sense (sadness, happiness, love, so on)
Art doesn’t need to be a skill or perfection. Art is expressing yourself and adding creativity to your everyday tasks.
Just create and that’s your art. For example, you enjoy cooking? Your meal is your art. The process of making the dish is the art: chopping the veggies, heating the pan, tasting the dish. You’re already creating art. You just need to embrace it.
Dance without judging yourself. Write with your feeling without judging. Cook whatever you want without judgement. Take that video. Take that picture. Create something beautiful. Film that vlog. Start that article.
Just do it with no judgement.
Final Words
Again, you’re the director. The script is in your hand. You’re the main character and so, be one. Spend your day with this knowing that “I’m the main character in my life”. That’s all the secret. Love you guys and see you next week!
