hours scrolling watching other people's
lives you've decided are more beautiful

with high-rise Apartments the perfect
that girl workout routine and
interesting cities you probably spend so
much time telling yourself your life

have more money when you get invited to
more parties when you have an apartment

in front of you right now and the secret
is you don't need to keep waiting some
of the most beautiful moments are hidden
in the mundane if you just take the time
to notice them so in this video I'm
going to be giving you my tips and
tricks and realistic ways you can
actually begin romanticizing your life
to debt think of yourself as the main
character and stop waiting for life to
begin usually my life is not very
aesthetic most of my days are spent
procrastinating trying to find the
motivation to do the simplest of tasks
beating myself up and not getting to do
this St I ADHD and learning to romantic
EMP ize my own life has helped me so
much do things like literally get up and
go to school like to have hobbies and
get up and actually try to accomplish my
goals and in no way do you need to do
all of these or any of these even to
lead a romantic life but I hope that the
things that I'm about to shareing this
video will help you find little ways
that you can just Implement a little bit
extra joy into your day-to-day life and
not just be constantly like waiting for
happiness I'm all about being realistic
here so these are all things that are
budget friendly very small small changes
that you can make that can make a huge
difference so but first a little
disclaimer for this video course there
are situations and things that we
shouldn't try to romanticize and I'm not
saying that everything should be perfect
all the time it's not about trying to
make your life the most aesthetic there
are so many things that we just cannot
control in life so where you do have
some control these are just some ideas
for how to make small moments in your

your situation is you can still find
moments of joy and Beauty even if it's
something super super small and simple
because every single one of you deserves
that take and leave what works for you
from this list or just what I say to fit
into your life more personally okay on
with the video I love you all my very
first tip is waking up in a more
peaceful manner here's a little trigger
warning but I used to use this sound for
my
alarm horrible if you somebody who
struggles to get out of bed but you
really have to get out of bed to like be
somewhere then do what you got to do but
if you're able to switch out that sound
for something a little bit more peaceful
I think that would be optimal I switched
out my alarm about a year ago for a faux
Sunrise alarm clock it omits light into
your room 30 minutes before you're
supposed to wake up sends signals to
your brain or something to start waking
up I don't know I'm not a scientist you
can set like bird sounds you can set
like a little tranquil little peaceful
song such a small thing but it can make
such a difference always get ready for
the day power of literally just washing
your face and at least putting on a
little bit of skin care in the in the
morning I feel like will literally
change your day personally myself I love
doing my makeup I kind of do it the
exact same way every single day but it
feels like it's just this time that's
literally me and myself in the mirror
just the two of us and we're hanging out
and it's really nice and it feels like
kind of just this therapeutic start to
my day about this in my how to get out
of a slump video but doing stuff like
taking a little shower just washing your
face simply in the morning to kind of
get yourself going feeling a little bit
more unmotivated I feel like is so
helpful same thing kind of goes for the
morning and just jump starting your day
making your bed nothing else is done for
the day that's done learning how to make
your favorite drink at home something
that you enjoy in the morning that you
can kind of look forward to that can be
literally as simple as a matcha or your
coffee is really nice I am somebody who
absolutely loves vision boards and
Pinterest boards love making Pinterest
boards for every single season so it
doesn't have to be on Pinterest you
could would physically print pictures
out and make a little collage dream
board for the seasons I know this one
sounds silly but I honestly feel like
this has been a huge inspiration for me
and it's just been something that's made
me look forward to life so much more for
example I grew up in Vermont where we
have very very long cold Winters and
winter was always something I absolutely
dreaded as soon as this first snow
happened I would get so sad and I would
basically spend from December till May
when the snow melted feeling just sad
and upset and mad at the snow but about
3 years ago I started making Pinterest
boards for every single season including
winter and I was like hold on wait this
is actually kind of cute there's a lot
of things that I could do that are fun
and I genuinely look forward to Winter
now I feel like I've genuinely fallen in
love with each season which is just
helped me so much more enjoy like where
I'm at finding what's appealing and fun
to do each season learning how to
romanticize each season feel like is
really helpful because then you aren't
just constantly waiting for what's next
and you can really start enjoying the
now like recently I've been making my
Pinterest board for spring and like
summer I've been painting things like
outfit inspiration and images that make
me excited to get outside things that
aren't crazy I'm purposely not pinning
images that look like they're taken in
Paris somewhere that I know I'm not
going because I want it to be realistic
to my life and it doesn't even have to
be just for Seasons you can kind of do
it with anything especially things that
you're feeling a little bit maybe
unmotivated for and you need a little
bit extra inspiration like for me I have
a school board that whenever I'm feeling
really uninspired and unmotivated to do
my homework or to go to school I will
scroll through and add to I think
Pinterest is also a cool tool because
sometimes I really do feel like it takes
seeing through another person's eyes to
realize the beauty in something like a
season or a place it's like if you have
a friend who grew up somewhere really
different than you and then they visit
your home and they're like oh my God
this place is so cool the snow is so
beautiful beautiful and you're like what
and then slowly it opens your eyes to
realizing what's around you it also can
kind of help you create an alternate ego
to kind of step into like when I'm
feeling really unmotivated with school I
always turn to my fall and school
Pinterest board and kind of step into
like okay what are the things I can
really romanticize about this season to
kind of trick myself into enjoying the
start of school being a super scholarly
dark Academia girly for a month which in
term for myself is a really helpful tool
to help me actually go to school okay
this one's kind of my mantra for this
whole idea of romanticizing your life
find the joy in everything you do and
make everything you do joyful of course
there are things that we all do and
things that happen that are just
horrible but for the things that we can
control actively trying to make things
more joyful and to find the good in the
things that we do is very helpful for
example last week I had my finals and I
was really not looking forward to
writing various papers so I was like
okay I'm going to make this an enjoyable
experience make something I'm looking
forward to literally bought this chair
from chk Tock shop it's made sitting at
my desk so much more enjoyable I moved
my desk in front of my window especially
cuz the leaves are starting to come out
which was so nice and I was able to look
outside while I was doing my work which
just made the experience so much more
enjoyable if you're about to work in
your space for x amount of hours and sit
at your desk clean up your space first
that you're not worrying about the mess
you're not working in clutter and you
can really just focus on what you have
to do if you're trying trying to do
homework and you hate working from home
find places that you do like to work
find a local coffee shop or a library
with like a window that you look forward
to sitting if you have to run errands
one day maybe if you can walk and it's a
nice day take some extra time put in a
podcast and walk to your errands if
you're really long day at work or
something maybe wake up 10 minutes
earlier than you're used to so that you
can make yourself a coffee can stop at
your favorite Bakery on the way things
like wearing a cute outfit that just
make you excited about your day playing
some music in the car or playing some
nice music while you study to make the
experience of studying just a little bit
more enjoyable stopping on your walk
somewhere to say hi to like the
neighborhood cap so many small things
that you can add to your day that don't
have to make your day amazing you don't
have to like put so much pressure on
these things to make your day the best
day ever but they're just the little
small things that can just be like a
moment of Joy nothing you can control
should feel like torture so if there's
something like the gym that you don't
like replace it with some sort of
movement that you do actually enjoy
you'll be more like to stick to your
goals because it'll be more fun and
you'll get so much more out of it as
somebody with ADHD especially and just
constantly feeling like I'm fighting
this big lack of motivation to begin on
things this has been so helpful to
actually begin at the things that I need
to get done feel like I'm meeting dead
lines and not letting people down and be
able to actually accomplish my own goals
as well once I turn those things in my
mind instead of this Dreadful thing into
something that's actually kind of nice
make your spaces more personal to you
I've done this in my own life with
basically all thrifted and vintage
things that have cost under $5 and are
also things that I've collected over
time once you start curating your own
life your own space your space feels so
much more meaningful which I feel like
can just bring so much more joy and just
the Romantic aspect to your life for
example this wallpaper I put up and
instead of putting it all over my room
which would have been really expensive I
just put it the inside of my closet
doors which I love the look of it's also
something you could literally do with
wrapping paper and it doesn't have to be
overnight like I finally found a pair of
curtains that I love for my room at the
thrift store for $5 that I had been
scouring the internet for for like 7
months but it took me like 6 months to
find a pair that I really like so take
it slow and add things with intention to
your space I'll link some like more
affordable bedding options but I feel
like bedding is such a great way you can
just make your space a little bit more
personal to you just about the little
things and adding little vintage
especially touches to your space that'll
just make it more personal here's some
examples of some things I've switched
out instead of using normal makeup
storage I love using vintage teacups and
tea plates which I usually find for
like0 50 cents to a dollar to store my
jewelry I love this little crystal heart
container keep this by my bedside for my
most used jewelry I used to always be
shoving my medication into drawers
because I didn't like the way it looked
out I use this vintage box actually to
store it and I never forget my
medication now and it's so cute my
boyfriend got me this vintage jewelry
box which is my pride and joy and I love
using baskets around my space to store
things things instead of like plastic
containers of which I've thrifted over
time I love hanging up vintage prints
you can get images printed at the
printing store for super cheap and
another inexpensive trick I have is
literally hanging up cards that you get
that are really pretty this is a really
special one from my mom not only is it
so pretty for my wall but I will flip it
open when I want to read it which I just
think is so special you can make
playlists for each season which is
something I absolutely love doing I've
recently just made my playlist for
spring and like it'll probably bleed
Into Summer and I'm loving it and
something I love so much about this is
it feels like it's like a soundtrack to
your life you've probably heard this a
100 times but I bet most of you have
never even done it I used to hear this
one a lot and I would think about it but
never physically do it and that is
literally physically writing down the
things that you're grateful for each day
or once a week not only does it just
make you more grateful and just realize
the things in your life that are amazing
but it's a really useful tool in helping
you to actually notice the little Joys
around you and the beauty that you do
have around you in your life despite the
things that aren't so great don't
underestimate the power of wearing an
outfit that brings you Joy fashion is
like such a simple way that you can add
some creativity to your life because
literally all of us have to put on
clothes every single day so why not have
fun with it developing your personal
style can be something that happens over
the course of your lifetime I don't
think it means going out and buying a
brand new wardrobe overnight I think
that in fact buying slower and more
intentionally and really building a
wardrobe that feels really personal and
special to you will feel so much more
romantic not only is going to be more
sustainable for the Earth and
sustainable for your wallet but it's
going to just feel so much more
meaningful because you know that each
piece that you're wearing is something
that you have chosen with so much
intention at some point I do want to do
a video more in depth about how to
actually go about finding your style
another thing I want to say about this
is that life is just too short to be
dressing for the approval of other
people or to make other people more
comfortable sometimes it can be very
anxiety-provoking to wear that thing
that you want to wear but look we are
leaving feeling intimidated by people
who are like oh my God why are you so
dressed up today why are you wearing a
dress at school today in the past okay
obviously easier said than done there's
no reason to be making each other feel
bad for wearing things that make us feel
good and there's no reason that you
should be dressing for those people who
are going to make you feel that way
there's nothing silly or embarrassing
about wearing an outfit that makes you
feel happy and you definitely don't need
a special occasion to wear that thing
that you want to wear so wear that dress
wear that outfit that you've been
wanting to wear but are just too nervous
and I really do feel like it's one thing
each day that can bring us just a little
bit of extra Joy finding ways to let go
of perfection I think is key if there's
certain things in your life that you're
holding back from doing because you're
scared of not being the best at them or
not even being very good at them at all
let go of that perer and try to replace
it having fun with the process of
learning something new having fun with
the process of sometimes not being that
good at something and learning how to
laugh at yourself more it takes a lot of
practice to learn to laugh at yourself
but it's something I've been personally
working on so much is just enjoying the
process of learning something and
remembering that you don't need to be
like perfect at something and I think
that also sticking with things through
that kind of uncomfortable phase will
create so much like self trust in
yourself and really better your own
relationship with yourself once you free
yourself from these expectations of
perfection you're putting on yourself
everything else just becomes so much
more joy
document your life you can get a cute
video camera off of eBay just take
videos of you and your friends you and
your family you and just Quiet Moments
of your life that it's just you and
yourself I've heard of people who talk
to their own camera just kind of like as
a video diary and they never post it to
the internet or anything you can take
pictures on your phone obviously but you
could also get like film cameras or I
recently got a little Camp PowerShot
camera like digital camera that I'm
really excited to use this summer just
to document like special moments of your
life and I don't mean you know like
going out and doing photo shoots I mean
like taking videos pictures of
experiences when you're in them when
you're with people you love and just
documenting those moments that's
something I'm trying to do more of also
just day to day I try to take like
pictures of literally anything and
everything from my breakfast to the way
my side table is looking to to a flower
I see on my walk just take pictures and
you start to realize like how beautiful
just everything is and how there's so
much Beauty in just everyday day little
simple things you don't have to be out
doing crazy stuff that being said I
think the counter aspect of this is also
knowing when to put the camera down some
moments simply just cannot be captured
by a camera you're never too cool to be
excited about things and find beauty in
small things so make the small moments
big I think we often feel pressur to act
cool or we get funny looks for getting
too excited about the small things but I
think embracing that part of yourself
and also surrounding yourself with
others who not only Embrace that as well
but don't make you feel silly for it is
amazing even while making this video I
was like is this video very cringy to
make but then I was like you know what I
feel like it's that type of feeling of
oh I'm being cringy right now for making
this small moment feel big what
sometimes holds us back so next time it
rains go ahead open your window listen
to the sound of the rain drink a cup of
tea act like you're in a movie when you
have a little self-care night have an
actual self-care night and make it like
a whole event notice little things like
the neighborhood cat who always crosses
the street to say hello the way the
leaves look blowing in the wind and your
afternoon walk can turn into an
afternoon walk where you put in your
podcast you pick up your local newspaper
you check your local little Library grab
ice cream after dinner an afternoon
where you sat outside for a couple hours
literally just listening to the birds
isn't an afternoon where you did nothing
it's an afternoon where you sat outside
listening to the birds how amazing is
that a key aspect to romanticizing your
life is learning how to be more present
and a trick to do this is actively
trying to use all of your senses take
the time to notice what you hear smell
see and feel as silly as that may feel
and give importance to all of those
things that you notice I think a huge
part of romanticizing your life and
finding Beauty in your own life is also
like literally creating Beauty in your
life that leaves me to talk about one of
my favorite things ever which is having
a creative hobby I hear all the time oh
I'm not a creative person like oh I'm
not artistic I couldn't ever do any of
those things and I just think that's not
true I think we all are creative people
doesn't necessarily mean you have to be
someone who is an amazing painter or
drawer or personally a I think any of
those things can be learned I also think
there's a huge range of what is good
just because with no training I would
like to add you can't you know make a
perfect impressionist painting someone
would mistake for a photograph doesn't
mean you're not artistic but I do truly
feel like the human mind is creative
whether that's artistically musically
maybe you love to write maybe you love
to problem solve certain things there's
so many things that are creative the act
of literally creat creting things with
our hands with our minds is something
that is just so special and I feel like
can add so much joy to your life think
also with this remembering to let go of
perfection and just have fun with these
things instead of feeling like this has
to be the most beautiful thing in the
world that's going to change the course
of the universe and I'm going to be a
famous artist who sells my work for
$10,000 like no you can still be a
creative person without that my favorite
creative hobby that I feel like I've
really delved into to this past year
especially has been sewing something
that when I'm feeling really unmotivated
and down in the dumps or down in a slump
is something that I look forward to
doing you don't have to commit to one
also you can test and try different
things which can be really fun and once
you find something that you really enjoy
kind of delving in further and
challenging yourself to learn to improve
I feel like is also just something that
can be a really exciting process
depending on what you choose also these
can be very portable things that can
come with you even into classroom and
sometimes work settings I myself and I
know several others of my peers like
bring knitting and crocheting I've even
brought embroidery to school before
sometimes I doodle or Draw in my
notebook myself as someone with ADHD
having something to do with my hands has
always been important for things like
School help me actually focus more and
if your teacher like shows you any sort
of push back about that there's tons of
studies out there that show that doing
something creative with your hands
doesn't mean that you're not listening
and can often times actually increase
focus and concentration in classroom
settings which is really cool make those
things like maybe sitting in a 3-hour
lecture a little bit more fun and
enjoyable personalizing things to you is
such a great way to kind of romanticize
your life part of romanticizing your own
life I think is building a relationship
with yourself which I think means paying
attention to yourself what you like what
you don't like things like finding your
style or decorating your space can
happen over long periods of time where
you make mus meaningful decisions about
how to decorate what pieces to add to
your wardrobe but you can even do it
with things like finding your signature
scent your signature nail color your
signature lip color your favorite book
like some people are very specific about
their pens you could literally find your
favorite pen favorite coffee shop
favorite window to sit at when you go to
certain places your favorite tree
there's literally so many things in life
to make more personal that you don't
need to even scream from the rooftop
that can just be little things for
yourself that I feel like just makes
life more fun and it's just kind of a
little Ode to yourself which is really
sweet and something you deserve you guys
that with your space and your style it's
not about going out and just buying a
bunch of stuff tomorrow I think the more
time that you put into curating these
things whether it's weeks months or even
years it kind of adds to the specialness
of it and just the kind of Act of
finding the signature thing over a long
period of time is kind of romantic and
very cool finding organizational
strategies that help you feel at peace
in your mind keep things from getting
too chaotic something I've been working
on for the past like year I feel like
I'm finally finding organizational
strategies that really work for me I
have my notion linked down below my
whole notion template things like that
and learning that from myself I really
need to organize out like every single
hour of my day especially when I'm
feeling extra unmotivated and extra just
have so many ideas bouncing around it
really helps me to focus and feel more
accomplished in the things I have to do
but maybe for you that's writing in a
physical planner or maybe you've noticed
that you really work better in notebooks
that have no lines but figuring out out
like what works for you again that
process of finding what's personal and
actually works for you can kind of be
like this romantic process and then once
you do find it I think it can just add
so much peace to your life something I
feel like we don't often think to do but
I definitely think can help you
romanticize your life more and it's so
easy is doing kind of slower things that
you don't really need to do anymore such
as sending letters to your friends
winter I sent a bunch of Valentine like
physical Valentine's that I made to some
of my friends and my family sent it to
my grandma's and I'm sure it was really
fun for them to receive and it was so
fun for me to make them and send them
out and it felt just really good it was
like stuff like that you don't always
have time to do but when you do I feel
like second to write a letter to your
friend who maybe is long distance or if
you live with your partner or someone
you could you know leave them a little
note in the morning I feel like that's
just a little thing that can add so much
joy to someone else's day as well as
your own playing a record instead of a
speaker reading more books I recently
started reading my local newspaper guys
this is a PSA to read your local
newspaper there's so much going on in
your area that I had no idea was
happening and I was completely missing
all these years there's also just like
crosswords and like fun stuff to do and
I feel like in general just finding more
ways to connect to your own local
community is a huge way that you can
kind of of romanticize your life and
just find more joy in the space that
you're at like I was saying earlier
there's just something really special
about having a very nice interaction
with somebody that you don't know it
always makes my day when I have like a
good conversation with somebody at the
grocery store or I see someone on my
walk in the early morning and they wave
to me and like say good morning and I
say good morning back there's something
just very special about that so I
challenge you to do that more to be that
person who's like hey how are you in
addition to that giving compliments why
are we so afraid to say oh my God your
outfit looks so cute feel like there's
so many opportunities to make somebody
else's day which can kind of make your
day too and I feel like it's a goal of
mine now to like compliment somebody I
don't know like at least once a week but
the last thing that I feel like I want
to say is just with all of this I think
doing things with intention is the
biggest way that you can kind of just
romanticize your life a little bit more
what whatever you're doing do those
things with intention instead of just
being like uh I'm doing my makeup make
it an experience when you're getting
dressed in the morning make that an
experience your drive to school your
drive to work put on the songs that make
you feel good and make that an
experience I hope you guys have been
enjoying the video I wanted to say just
at the end of the day take and leave
what you want from this video for what
could easily fit into your life and
adjust things to fit better into your
own personal life the most romantic
thing about romanticizing your life is
that it's your life your life is going
to look very different than mine all of
our lives are going to look very
different which is amazing and your way
of romanticizing it could also be very
different than my way for example oh can
you hear the bullfrogs they're getting
really loud all of a
sudden bullfrog ASMR for
you for example for me doing things like
filling my space with pretty aesthetic
things is something that brings a lot of
joy to me personally but that doesn't
mean that you need to care about pretty
aesthetic things if those stress you out
or don't bring you Joy maybe for you
making your room more personal to
yourself is making it as comfortable as
possible making it as cozy as possible
getting a weighted blanket and I just
feel like that's a good example of
showing
how we can all approach romanticizing
our lives very differently which I think
is really cool point is figuring out
slowly how to find small ways to enjoy
your everyday world even if it's just
one little moment each day and slowing
down to find the beauty in the mundane
it's not about trying to make your life
look a certain way match a certain
aesthetic or look like something you saw
on the internet but instead just
something that's yours and something
that something that brings you personal
Joy I make the things that we can
control in our lives a little bit more
joyful just remember it's all about the
little thing the smaller the thing the
better I'd ARG you I hope you all really
enjoyed this video you don't have to do
everything on this list and even if just
one thing on this list you feel a little
bit inspired by that's amazing I love
