What does romaticizing your life actually mean?

...See more This is a question that i have asked myself many times, over and over again. Until i ran into this one lovely post describing that the best way to "romaticize" your life is to be in the moment and feel, use your senses. Let me elaborate on that, for example when you are drinking a hot beverage, how does that feel to you? Pay close attention to the warmth and its taste. When you are outside, take in a second to close your eyes and feel the breeze of the wind brushing up against your skin. When you are doing your skin care routine try to enjoy and focus on how it feels. When you are putting on your favorite perfume, pay close attention to its smell. When making yourself a dinner, before even trying to take in how it tastes, try to arrange the food in a way that is pleasing to your eyes! Try eating without distractions and focusing purely on the food, its taste, texture, temperature,... And the list goes on. What i tried to convey with this, is that romaticizing your life does not need to be expensive, it does not need to mean buying cute or aesthetic things, spending a lot of money,... (by all means do what makes you happy though! not saying you can not buy the cute stationary,.... that definitely does help with the process) but the key point is trying to be as present as possible and noticing sensations and focusing on your senses!

...See more In this series i would like to share about steps that i have taken whilst embarking on the self love journey after being in a poor place mentally for ages and sharing updates on how it is going and what has been helping me,.. FIRST ENTRY *Disclaimer, this is only coming from my experience.* 1) Have heard this tip of you caring for yourself how you would for a friend if you  switched bodies with them, knowing they would be getting  theirs back eventually.  Or in general, even without having to imagine all of that. Checking yourself, how you are talking to yourself. Would you ever say those things to someone you love?,... 2) Being your own parent. Parenting the inner child you have whilst also being its advocate. It is important that you create a safe space within yourself. Acknowledging the voice of that inner child that is scared, that does not want to do something,...and yet utilizing you being an adult that now knows better, knows the value of discipline, knows you will be okay and are safe. And guiding yourself through it all, whilst also engaging in what makes you and your inner child happy. Being grown up should not mean all the joy disappearing from your life just because you have responsibilities now and life getting tougher. 3) You have to care about yourself before you feel like it. That feeling will follow. If you are doing things that actively show to your mind that you do not care about yourself, how can you get that feeling first before taking action?  stay tuned for upcoming entries : )
