Romanticize Your Life!
Life is too Short not to Pretend like you are in a Movie.
July 22, 2024
Dear Diary,
Today as I was debating whether to work out, my inner voice said to me, “Oh but look outside, it’s raining, and so dark and cozy, wouldn’t you rather just curl up and read a book?” It did sound very appealing but I knew I couldn't postpone my workout any longer, realizing that it had been two days since my last proper session. I decided to change my perspective and thought, "Why not romanticize my life and make Pilates on a rainy day sound lovely?" I must admit, our minds can be easily convinced, because as soon as I imagined it, there I was on my yoga mat, pulsing, and puffing away doing Pilates.
This blog is now written by Safa, high on dopamine. I feel energized and happy. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, find the beauty in ordinary things, be the main character of your own story, and use your imagination to motivate yourself. Whenever I lack motivation or feel lazy, I imagine myself as a character in a movie, and that gets me up and moving. Imagine your life as a movie – you'd want it to be interesting, right?
How to Romanticize Your Life-
Make a fancy morning beverage.
Wear your favorite outfits.
Create a curated playlist for your life.
Engage your senses to make car rides feel fun.
Go on a movie date with yourself.
Take a walk in nature.
Collect a bouquet of flowers.
Cook delicious homemade meals.
Romanticizing your life doesn't require buying new things or changing your whole routine. It's simply a way to look around and be grateful, to play and find pleasure, to experience life through a lens of gratitude that you get to live another day in your life and to let it be lovely.
So, go ahead, make life interesting, and romanticize it!
Lots of Love,
Safaa
