You are the main character of your own life. That is the first thing you need to know in order to successfully romanticize your life. Believe it or not, many of us are not behaving like we are deserving of the things we desire. Mostly, we are not behaving as main character’s rather playing a supporting role in others’ lives. Personally, I blame social media. We are constantly watching other people’s stories or recreating something instead of living in our own reality. In this blog post, I’m going to share simple inexpensive ways you can elevate and romanticize your life.
What does it mean to romanticize your life?
Simply put, when you’re romanticize anything you’re really just making it seem better than what it might actually be. It’s about turning the most mundane tasks into something more magical. I think we should all aim to romanticize our life because it’s way too short. Taking the time to really enjoy every moment and live in the now not only helps activate a higher sense of gratitude but you will feel more grounded too.

Enjoy more solitude
Go somewhere you’ve never been before and better yet; if you feel comfortable don’t tell anyone you’re going. I know that can seem a little scary but enjoying time alone helps you reset. I suggest taking a walk during the day or exploring a nearby popular attraction. If you want to be extra you could have a mini getaway. Spend the weekend in a new town and do it all by yourself!
Romanticize your bathtime ritual
The water is so healing, if you are able to take a bath somewhere or go somewhere with a tub, I suggest taking a bath at least once a week. You could incorporate this into your self-care routine. I like to play music and meditate on the things in my life that I’m grateful for. Here are some tips when it comes to creating a bath-time ritual.
-Light candles
-Fill your tub with bubbles and bath bombs
-Use essential oils
-Add rose petals for a romantic touch
-Enjoy a cold beverage as you soak
If you do not have access to a tub, you can still create a whimsical shower time experience. Create a playlist (I like neo-soul) and add eucalyptus to your showerhead to promote relaxation.
When you finish soaking or showering, slip into something sexy, even if nobody else sees you.

Look good for yourself
Romanticizing your life is about looking good and feeling good for you first. I used to think that there is no point in buying nice things because I’d be the only one that would see them. Though, when I shifted my way of thinking not only did I feel better about myself but I started to find more comfort in my singleness.
Prepare delicious meals
I know not everyone is a fan of cooking and if you aren’t then you can always treat yourself. Though, if you’re like me and you do like to cook, then spend time learning how to make something you’ve always wanted to try. You could cook it for someone else as well, but I think it’s important to get in the practice of creating really nice things for yourself simply because you deserve it.
Stop saving things for “later”
I’m sure you have a really cute top in your closet that is just hanging there waiting to be worn. But because you think that you need to pull it out for a special occasion it just hangs there. What you need to remember when romanticizing your life is that you are the special occasion. Also, you are letting your money go to waste if you wait for the right time to wear something. Trends come and go, our bodies change and so does our taste. You picked it out for a reason so put it on and go out trusting that you look great.
Conclusion
The key is to not wait to have something that you are really excited about but to operate from the mindset that each new day is an opportunity to live and thrive in the now. Yesterday has already passed and this moment is all that remains. Don’t forget to cherish the now and make it romantic.
