How to Romanticize Your Life ?- In Every Situation

If you grew up thinking you need to react to every situation in life, then you are at the right place. Guess what? You do not have to react to every circumstance life throws at you. Life is full of highs and lows, and as humans, we are meant to feel every emotion. However, it is not necessary to dwell on them, especially if they are negative emotions. For instance, it is okay to feel irritated when someone touches your fries, but you do not have to sulk with them all day. (not based on personal experience). So instead, let’s romanticise a little?

Have a hobby or try to find one


One of the joys that can happen to us in life is the sudden void, or some people call it boredom. We must have felt that in different phases of our lives. In that phase, you get an opportunity to find what you like or are passionate about in life. Some people are clear-cut. They know what they like, and they can simply have that as a hobby. For other people, it takes time to find a hobby, which is even better. You can try multiple things to find out what you are connected to. 


Be Present


These two words are the most powerful words, and they might be the solution to many of our problems. If you are an overthinker, you may realise that half of our issues stem from living in the past or the future, both of which are beyond our control. But the present? It has the power to change your future. Stay mindful, stay grounded and keep showing up for yourself. The future will take care of itself.

Change the mundane into excitement


Whether you are a housewife or a working individual, or a job-seeker, you have to deal with the mundane things in life. Life is not always filled with exciting moments, but with normal routines. However, those exact mundane things have the power to make up or break up our day. A little coffee slip is enough to ruin a day, while an extra smile from your crush can make your day a little better (I know you are smiling now). Hence, you can change these normal routines into an exciting one by adding things that you like to your routine. In other words, romanticise your life.


  • Start your morning routines with some songs in the background

  • Spend some time eating your favourite delicious breakfast

  • Listen to your favourite podcast 

  • Have your own exciting bedtime routine


Gratitude


What does romanticising your life mean? It is the act of being the main character in your story.  Even with all the problems and situations in your life, you are blessed with many good opportunities and experiences too. We tend to chase a life that we want to create while forgetting what we already have. It is absolutely necessary to grow and have some life changes. But if you can, be grateful for the things you are blessed with every day, even if you think it is insignificant. The more you are grateful, the more you will realise you are rich with many things in life. This allows you to lead your life with fewer complaints and more hope.



Romanticising is about living your life by your own rules, regardless of the situation. So live your life a little?

Let me brainwash you into watching sitcoms

  “I declare bankcruptcyyyy”  If you read that in Michael Scott's voice, then you are one of us, a sitcom lover. I started watching Sitcoms when I was in University. A Friends scene popped up on my YouTube recommendations. Ironically, I watched the finale first. But it was so funny and oddly comforting that I went back and binged all the seasons. Since then, I’ve fallen deep into the sitcom rabbit holes.  There is something about watching sitcoms which creates a safe and calm feeling. It will give you an instant feeling like you are included in something warm and pleasant. I believe this is the reason for people to rewatch the same sitcoms many times. Let me give you a few more reasons why you should start watching sitcoms. They are relatable I believe everyone has the urge to feel included, and sitcoms are best at doing it. Remember when Monica asked, “Do you have a plan?” and Phoebe responded with, “I don’t even have a pla ...”? It was hilarious and validating. It remin...

Tengah healing ke tu? A needed escape to Gunung Jerai

Sometimes all we need is a different perspective.  We often get caught up in routines and forget why we push ourselves so hard. At the core, it’s to live the life we dream of. And that takes effort, discipline, and sometimes, a bit of healing. I recently took a long-planned, but impromptu trip to Jerai Hill (Gunung Jerai), which allowed me to relax and stay mindful in the present moment.  To be very honest, I just wanted to escape from the scorching hot weather recently. Malaysia is filled with famous hill stations, and Gunung Jerai is an underrated one. Let me just walk you through everything I loved about Gunung Jerai.  Buckle up! (No, really) Like any hill destination, you need to drive through the beautiful greenery, which makes you think about what else is beautiful you haven't witnessed yet in life. The roads are well-maintained, and there are clear horn signs along the way. It’s a drive that asks you to be both careful and present, watching the road while soaking i...
