Every bit of any mundane activity deserves to be romanticised also. Being on a train, car, plane or bike? Play some cinematic scores to feel like you‘re on an epic journey. Writing in your journal? Play some piano instrumentals to invoke more emotion in your words. Applying your skincare and getting ready for bed? Put a candle on and play classics like Louis Armstrong or Nat King Cole, any of the sort. Appreciate your natural features in the mirror and feel comfort in your beauty. Trying to decide your outfit for the day? Play some of The Cure, The La’s, Two Door Cinema Club to feel like its the montage in a film where you’re the main character. You can quite honestly romanticise so many aspects of your day and you feel all the better for it ~ :)
Yes to all of this. I’m really trying to start my day intentionally. that involves self love pep talks as I brush my teeth. it’s wildly improved my life
I feel like paying more attention to the tiny mundane things in life that bring you some joy can make a big difference in reining in some of the negative thoughts and feelings. easier said than done but ascribing more weight and meaning to even the tiniest things makes me feel generally happier and more focused on the present. like going for a walk and being in nature even for a few mins, seeing a cat in someone’s window, making yourself a hot chocolate in your favorite mug when it’s cold outside
