Romanticize Moments of Your Life

Happy April! Here we are slipping into spring with snow days, sunshine days, windy days and days that we have all three. I wish this weather would make up its mind. I have taken a moment to contemplate the days, consumed by the constant demands of household chores that consist of feeding horses, the cat, and the steer named Waldo. Most of my days pass by rather swiftly. Occasionally, I perceive such days as lacking appeal and being quite monotonous.

With the arrival of spring, the days are lengthening and becoming slightly warmer. We could spend more time outdoors if the weather cooperated, perhaps appreciating the sunshine and birdsong, despite the occasional spring snow. Spring brings a feeling for change. I’m wanting to be outside planting flowers and or riding my horse. Girls we just get the itch to make things pretty – maybe a little more romantic. I say this, but I don’t know if I have ever been romantic a day in my life! I believe that spring encourages us to romanticize our lives. Now what does that mean?

Mindful and Cognizant

I think that when we are mindful and cognizant to find joy and beauty in the everyday, we are romanticizing moments of our life. We are appreciating small moments and creating a sense of wonder and excitement, rather than focusing on the mundane. I’ve gathered a few simple ways that we can romanticize our lives or bring that vibe and energy into our day to day. Just simple reminders and ways to practice mindfulness of romanticizing our lives. I truly believe that the art of romanticizing one’s life begins with being mindful of the little things – blessings.

Here Are Ten of My Own Ideas on How to Romanticize Your Life-

1. Sit in the sun with a cup of tea in the afternoon.
2. Daily scripture readings and reflections.
3. Set a pretty table. Prepare a cozy spot to enjoy your therapeutic beverage in the morning.
4. Create a favorite mood playlist(s). I have several from different genres for a wide range of music vibes. There is always music for everyone.
5. Buy yourself some pretty flowers.
6. Take a walk – spend time with yourself in nature.
7. Journal your gratitude for what you have, not what you don’t have.
8. Prioritize some self-care. Indulge in a Luxurious Bubble Bath with Scented Candles
9. Write some morning affirmations for yourself.
10. Explore your artistic, creative hobbies. Maybe take an art class. Find ways to express yourself.

I certainly do not possess all the answers. Romanticizing one’s life involves discovering joy and beauty in everyday moments. By making small changes in your routine and mindset, one can create a life that feels rich, fulfilling and full of wonder and gratitude. I remind myself daily.

Hopefully, with these ideas, you’ll be well on your way to turning ordinary into extraordinary. Embrace life and find ways to make small moments extra special. Find that slower pace and be in the moment a bit more.  It’s the little things that make us really happy; we just need to get in the practice of being present, noticing, and expressing gratitude. Savor the days, moments in life and add a little extra magic. We just need gentle reminding to treasure life’s precious gifts.
