Let's unravel the part where you see the benefits in living a mindful, happy life filled with nurturing, care & clarity towards the things that were meant for you...
In a world where distractions are abundant & the constant pressures of modern life creates so much overwhelm that we must seek solace in the art of living better lives.
For years I've embraced the concept of a "Romanticized Life" not as a whimsical novelty, but rather as a conscious decision to find beauty, meaning & creativity in everyday moments. It won't feel strange if you need this too because that right side of your mind is probably yearning for a moment to do something creative.
Professional speaking, you might need to do something today or build out a deeply immersive experience when all you really want to do is hide in a room with your art! I felt like that too... Finding out what to embrace won't be hard if you take a romanticized perspective that does not waver from your values or interferes with your creative career aspirations.
It only takes one simple choice every morning that will lead to an enriched lifestyle fostered in one mindfully fulfilling practice - Do I pick up look at the disharmony in the media that contributes to stress & procrastination or do I ignite my day by actively taking up my 20 minute Magic Morning activity?
Now it doesn't have to be writing, it can be journaling, jotting down your to-do list, a playful scribble in your Sketchbooks with colour or it could be to make time for self-reflection.

Understanding the Romanticized Life concept is at its core built on what you value, appreciate & want in your life. It embraces the small moments infused in every day through the activities you already love doing. With it comes a sense of wonder, creative exploration, unity & connection to yourself. It involves seeing the world through a lens that highlights the beauty you see, tapping into your emotions & finding significance in the most mundane things.
Setting yourself up for this frame of mind early in the day can transform any ordinary experiences into extraordinary one's! This type of lifestyle feels vibrant, meaningful & up there with what I believe needs to be a high priority for creatives.
A Romanticizing Life can be an essential tool that allows us to draw inspiration from our surroundings & find joyful fulfilment in the creative process, whether it is for making a life-changing decision or simply savouring a cup of tea while sketching... noticing how life feels more aligned by taking a leisurely walk to clear your minds... decorating your workspace with fresh flowers to spark a little joy... smiling from within as these small acts of kindness towards yourself become the most impactful things for your overall wellbeing, not to mention how much better you'll feel when you take on an hour of pure productivity.
For Creative Hearts like you & me, creativity doesn't just play a role in our lives, it IS the lifeblood of our existence. It often creates the very foundations of our income as it forms the backbone of what we start living for!
IF we don't do it we'll feel lost. So, creativity becomes that extra bit of magic we sprinkle into routines to make our days enjoyable. Without it our experience of life feels uninspired & dull. In other words, we live to create these sanctuaries for ourselves to work in our chosen creative fields. To build our Creative Careers & not just see our colourful outcomes as a job. Everything we touch becomes an expression of our inner world through which we nurture our head, hands & heart!!! We shout this out to world to enhance our ability to share the beauty the world needs more of, not to boast but to ignite the wonder of our imagination.
Don't you want to fall more & more in love with life. It is one of those key aspects we chose when we wake up in the mornings; to love & live by it in order to find peace from within.
A romanticized life is the integration of creative practices in your daily routines.
These could involve things like your artistic pursuits, time for journaling about your experiences, engaging in a new hobby or doing something that is a little more challenging & even somewhat exciting. For example, you could take up a personal challenge by embarking on 30-Days of Self-Mastery & Transformation >>> Get the Download HERE
With it the goal then becomes to keep your creative juices flowing while allowing your mind to strengthen as it is directed through prompts instead of wandering aimlessly. This companion document can also help you explore new possibilities.
Living a Mindful Life is the Physical Practice of Being Fully Present in the Moment. Becoming aware of our thoughts, our feelings, our surroundings & our judgments means we are entering a higher conscious awareness of life. When combined with a the advantages of creative expressions, the whole romanticized outlook changes our perspective on mindfulness. It is here that the significance of time alone begins to enhance our quality of life as it encourages us to slow down, appreciate where we are in life & to find a new way of bringing joy in the present moment.
Practicing mindfulness can take many forms, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, a stroll in the forest or it could be a savoured view of sunset. And for creative minds like ours, it also means we are fully engaged in our work, losing ourselves in time & connecting to the flow of Creation. Literally becoming the Co-creator of our experiences without feeling pressured to be perfect... just a connection to a moment of pure goodness!
