The romanisation of our lives hit me as I sipped on a warm cup of coffee with some quiet music playing in the background in this chilly weather. Romanticising life is simply enjoying all the little moments in life. It’s about having the main character energy of your own story and being able to look for beauty in every activity, no matter how ordinary and mundane some parts might be. It’s a form of mindfulness that can be incredibly beneficial for your mental health. This way of looking into moments of beauty and embracing minimalism will make you take the time to appreciate your day-to-day life, regardless of how hectic and mundane life can be.

Instead of doing what other people want you to do, this is about acting in a way that makes your inner self happy and content. 

Although there are plenty of ways to romanticise your life, here are five powerful ones.

Main character energy 

Now that you are on your way to achieving your progress and ambitions, you are rewarded with the main character in the film, ‘Life’. This is about taking care of your own story’s storyline, which stresses self-care, and you being the main character that the spectators are always rooting for.

Listen to your main character playlist 

What movie would go better without background music? Be sure to incorporate this unique aspect into your life as well. Create a playlist of upbeat songs that you enjoy listening to. 

Wear clothes that make you feel beautiful

You must take notes on what to wear as the movie’s main character. Would the lead character in your favourite programme wear something that wasn’t adorable, trendy, and cosy? So demand nothing less and dress to the nines.

Buy yourself flowers

There is no better way to express your affection for yourself if you enjoy flowers than by purchasing some lovely blooms. A brief pause to take in the beauty of the flowers could also help you to appreciate the beauty of life. Loving-kindness begins with admiring oneself, including purchasing flowers. Go ahead and reward yourself with a lovely bouquet of flowers. Because you deserve it.

Look back on the sweet memories you saved

You can simply learn to appreciate all of life’s little moments by taking a trip down memory lane. You can express gratitude for all the wonderful blessings in your life and relive the joys of those moments.

Try romanticising your life by being grateful for all of your tiny victories and blessings. And remember you don’t have to be perfect. Simply pursue your happiness and aim to become the best version of yourself.
