What does it mean to Romanticize Your Life?
When we talk about romanticizing your life, we’re reminding you to see the magic in the small, everyday moments. We’re nudging you to create a pleasure-centered life in which you are the main character. It means wearing the dress you’ve been saving for a special moment. It involves living without fear and allowing yourself to do the things you’re afraid of being judged for. To romanticize your life means to be your own cheerleader. It means breaking free from society’s expectations and writing your own script. We only get one life. Make this one count.
Romanticizing your Life When Things Go Wrong
This is the other side of romanticizing your life that people skip over. Sometimes, things go wrong. Life wasn’t designed for us to always be happy and cheerful, and that’s okay. Having main character energy is remembering that as long as you’re alive, things can change for the better. Think about the main character of your favorite book. When all goes wrong, you continue to cheer for that character and hope for the best. You have to have that same energy for yourself.
These 20+ ideas to romanticize your life will help you create the life you’ve always dreamed of.
