I’m not going to sit here and tell you how easy it is to romanticize your life or how to romanticize it because honestly it’s different for everyone. Let me warn you, romanticizing your life is not-a-on-day to the next type of a deal. It’s a long and hard process for some.
I know for me personally, romanticizing my life has always been a struggle. I used to live by the “fake it till you make it” mindset but it did more harm than good. You can’t force romanticizing your life, it has to come naturally, in my opinion. If I’m honest, the one thing that has caused me to romanticize life again has been the people I surround myself with.
Personally, I’ve always been too scared of leaving my comfort zone, perhaps because I’ve never been a very outgoing type. But honestly so much has changed as soon as I started saying yes instead of no to new opportunities. The people and experiences I’ve been able to create have been like no other. It’s allowed me to leave my comfort zone and create experiences in my life that I wouldn’t ever fathom imagining. Even if this means going to try a new coffee shop or go on late night donut runs.
It was hard to romanticize my life before. I was always finding the bad in the good instead of the good in the bad. Sometimes I would allow myself to allow one situation or person to ruin my mood for days on end. But now I’ve learned to not care what others think. I’ve allowed myself to enjoy the small wins because they’re still wins. It’s almost as if I had to rewire how my brain used to process everything.
Remember that romanticizing your life is about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. It’s a mindset that allows you to see and appreciate the beauty and wonder in everyday moments.
