How To Enjoy Life To The Fullest

1. Romanticize The Ordinary Moments

Oh my gosh, I have become so obsessed with the concept of romanticizing. It’s the best and most fun way to enjoy ordinary moments and turn your life into a fairytale.

To romanticize your life, ask yourself “What can I do to make my present more chirpy and beautiful?” and then follow through with the suggestions that pop into your brain.

It’s the little things like playing music while doing your chores, eating out of pretty cutlery, buying a good quality bathrobe for your post-shower routine, and (my favorite) lighting scented candles when you’re reading.

The effort is minimal, but the effects of romanticizing your life are nothing short of magical.

It’s a nice way of making yourself feel important and reminding yourself that you are, indeed, the main character of your own story.

2. Say Yes More Often

If you’re a bit of a naysayer, then this advice is for you – Instead of saying no too often, consider saying yes a bit more.

As a woman who loves her solitude, I know it’s important to say no when you really want that.

But one thing I’ve realized is that saying no can very easily develop into a permanent habit, making you miss out on experiences that could be super fun.

When someone asks you to join them for an outing, say yes and show up. Go to the dance club, join book club meetings, and be enthusiastic to explore new places.

Worst case scenario, you regret saying yes, but at least you’ll learn new things about yourself this way.

So, if you want to be growth-oriented and learn more about your preferences, say yes more often. It’s a sweet hack to experience life in new colors.

3. Pour Into Your Solo Time

Fun people know how to mingle and have a blast, but the best people in life are those who know how to party alone.

When you start enjoying your own company, your loneliness turns into blissful solitude. It gives you the power to be your own strength and is also a fantastic way to channel self-love.

If you’re someone who doesn’t get a lot of time alone, create your me-hours intentionally. Prioritize your solo time over things that give you stress and drain your mental health.

Spare a few minutes each morning to absorb the beauty of nature and connect with your inner self. Make time for your hobbies and do more of the things that you love.

Indulge in weekend self-care, go out on solo dates, and create a bedtime routine that caters to your personal needs and makes you feel like a shining diva (which you totally are, by the way.)

4. Visit New Places

We live in a vast and wonderful world. There are new things happening around you at all times, places that are thriving with happiness, and amazing people who you are yet to meet.

If you’re not exploring new places, you’re stopping all these new energies from coming into your life.

Step outside the comfort of your home and check out the unexplored places in your town. Eat at new restaurants, visit cute cafes, and explore all the famous points in your city.

Plan holiday vacations with friends and family, and have fun running on foreign grounds and making them your own for the short while you are there.

Click loads of pictures so that you can tap on your phone gallery whenever you wish to relive your fun travel memories.

In the words of novelist Erica Jong – “Live your life by a compass, not a clock.” This way, you’ll always be a true adventurer at heart.

5. Celebrate Your Small Wins

Don’t reserve your celebrations for big occasions. It’s amazing when you have a huge victory, but such moments are rare and can’t be the only times when you pull out your party hats.

Your small wins are life’s way of giving you reasons to smile and celebrate. Recognize this and start being more appreciative of your small victories.

When you experience a small win, mark the specialty of the occasion by giving yourself a gift, going out for coffee with a friend, hosting dinner for your family, or doing something nice for yourself.

This will make your little victories extra special and is a perfect way of romanticizing your life.

6. Make Your Mornings Beautiful

If I had to pick one time of the day to be stuck in for the rest of my life, I would gladly pick mornings.

The golden hours during this time are full of renewed energy and positivity. You get a chance to set fresh intentions and make the most out of your day.

Not to mention, nature is at its peak beauty during the morning. You can head up to the rooftop to greet the rising sun, go outside for a walk, or sit on your porch for your morning cup of coffee.

So, if you’ve been a late riser so far, it might be time to wake up earlier and take in the morning beauty in all its glory.

Let this be the time of day when you invite joy into your life, and mark my words, you will be one of happy people in the world.

7. Love Freely And Deeply

Loving someone is the best thing you can do to grow as a person. You learn so much about yourself and your feelings by experiencing love.

Though obviously, there’s always going to be the risk of heartbreak, that can’t and shouldn’t be the reason why you don’t put your heart out there.

And this is going to sound so cheesy, but when you find true love, it’ll make your life more magical and fill your days with unparalleled happiness.

So, give yourself permission to fall in love, to get hurt, and to have the time of your life with your partner. Go out on dates, experience new things together, and grow with time.

The same rules apply to your non-romantic relationships as well.

Your family, friends, your adorable bestie – keep all of these people close, shower them with affection, and don’t hold back from saying the three magical words to your loved ones now and then.

8. Open Yourself Up To Unique Experiences

We rarely seek unique experiences, often staying content doing things that others are already doing. But if you want to live a large life, you need to open your heart to large experiences.

For example, ever thought about performing at an open mic? You could recite a poem you wrote, sing your favorite song, or tell a story from your past.

Hobby classes are great options too. You can try your hand at pottery, art, or gardening because honestly, you can never have too many hobbies

Attend concerts of your favorite artists, put your skills out on display, and be more adventurous in your everyday life.

If you’re known for being a good singer, don’t hold back from turning into a rockstar when people urge you to perform for them.

And most importantly – when you find out about some event happening in your town that you’ve never experienced before, get up and show up.

Your life experiences will become well-recited Sunday dinner stories for your future family. Be sure to make it worth their while.

9. Reduce Stress From Your Life

There are many stress-inducing factors in today’s world. From your mobile phone notifications to tight deadlines, there are many parts of your routine that can cause you stress.

But here’s the catch – As real as stress is, stress management is also a thing, and it absolutely works if you give it a good try.

First and foremost, recognize your stressors and aim to minimize their use.

The moment you catch yourself stressing, tell yourself that you don’t appreciate the presence of this thing in your system and would like to step away from it.

Indulge in self-care activities like mindful journaling, listening to podcasts and music, deep breathing, and pampering your body with love through long baths, massages, and good products.

Eat healthy food that keeps your body healthy, exercise regularly, and be in touch with nature to stay rooted within yourself.

With time and practice, managing stress will come easier to you, and as a result, there will be more space for joy, peace, and contentment in your mind.

10. Stay Tuned To The Present

One of the key ingredients for a good and happy life is to be aware of the present moment.

It’s a state of being that is called mindfulness, a habit that makes it easy for you to tune into the now and stop living in your head.

Lingering in the past or overthinking your future won’t bring you any joy. In fact, these are quite mindless habits that rob you from taking in the little moments in life.

Practice mindfulness by taking in the parts of your life that you are used to tuning out.

Do everything with focus and avoid time-wasting habits like scrolling on your social media feed and not paying attention to your tasks.

While watching movies, walking on the road, talking to people, and doing other mundane activities, hone in on the small details and call yourself out mentally whenever you find your mind straying.

Meditation, journaling, gratitude, and deep breathing are some of the simple daily practices that might help.
