We all want goddess energy, to be that girl and to be the main character in our own stories. It’s about romanticizing your life — making things special and meaningful, regardless of the mundane tasks that make up daily life. And today I’m going to show you how to romanticize your life!
What does it mean to be the main character in your story?
There’s a new wave of female self-empowerment out there: change your story, change your life. That is to say that if you change the narrative you tell yourself about your life, suddenly everything can feel new and exciting again.
Being the main character in your own story means taking back control of the life that you live and the experiences you have. It means no longer being a bystander in life and instead taking an active role in your day to day life.
How can you do this? By finding ways to add purpose and meaning to your morning routine or everyday habits even in the little things. Small things like lighting a candle while enjoying your morning coffee or reading one page from a book each morning before getting started with the day can create powerful moments in your daily life.
Taking just a few minutes out of your morning to appreciate small moments will make your day more meaningful and special. A simple morning cup of coffee could be the beginning of a beautiful morning ritual that reminds you of how special you are and how amazing life can be.
Life can be romantic
If you choose for it to be. Embrace opportunities for growth and adventure, look for moments of joy each day and truly appreciate how special life can be. By living with intention, you can create a life that is truly romantic.
It’s also about nurturing yourself and your passions. It could be spending more time doing a hobby you love or trying something new. Look forward to spending more time with friends and family, taking on a side hustle, or simply spending some quality time alone. It’s about looking for the beauty in the everyday and remembering why your life is worth celebrating!
Whether it’s spending more time outdoors, getting creative with recipes in the kitchen, or finding ways to make your home feel cozy and inviting – these are all little things that will add romance to your story.
It’s time to start writing your own story
Take it one single day at a time and focus on self-care, small moments that add value to your life, and meaningful experiences. Life is meant to be lived with passion and joy, so don’t forget to make the most out of each day! With this mindset, you’ll soon find yourself living a beautiful, romantic story that you can look back on in years with such fulfillment and appreciation. So go ahead – use these tips as inspiration and start living the romantic life today!
I recently started ready Atomic Habits by James Clear and in it his mantra is you are what you repeat. This was the one sentence that really stook out to me. It really put things into perspective for me once again that if you want to create a certain life for yourself, the small things you repeat everyday will one day ultimately be a culmination of those things.
This pertains to everything in your life: from the way you talk about yourself, to the tasks you put off and even the job that you have. Be mindful of repeating good habits that help you get you to where you ultimately want to be. So make sure to choose your habits and activities wisely and start creating the romantic life of your dreams!
How Do I Romanticize My Life?
I personally like to start my day by reminding myself of what I have to be grateful for. It’s a habit I made myself get into so that it just becomes part of my day. So I will take a couple of minutes each morning to write this down.
Next, even during the work week I really love to take some quiet time to ease into the day with a cup of coffee. And coffee is quite ritualistic for me. Everything from the coffee beans to the glassware is very much a moment in my daily morning routine.
I generally love to be in a creative state of mind so I’ll often look at inspiring photos, or beautiful homes. I am even guilty of listening to some ambience café music on YouTube to make myself feel like I’m sipping an espresso at some French café. It weirdly puts me at ease.
I also love buying flowers on some Fridays just because I love looking at them on my vanity. I also love lighting a candle and make some tea just about any night before bed to mellow out from the day. And skin care ritual is very much me time. I believe this is my form of self care and self love. I love to take time some evenings to really pamper my skin and indulge in an at home spa session. So those are a few things that I do to romanticize my life, even though they seem really mundane.
Here are some tips on how to romanticize your life:
Start living each day intentionally
This will help you make the most out of every moment and give more meaning to everyday tasks. Start by making small changes such as waking up early or doing something productive during downtime — these things can have a surprisingly large impact on your daily routine.
Repeat affirmations and positive notes every morning
stay motivated and inspired throughout the day. This is a great way to remind yourself that you are capable, strong, and ready for whatever life throws your way. It’s also just a good idea to start and end your day with some positivity. Taking time for yourself each day is crucial for staying connected with your dreams and aspirations — so make sure to find ways to nourish your soul!
Appreciate the small moments
Notice the beauty in everyday moments like watching nature, enjoying a delicious meal, the sound of rain or even just going for a walk to get some fresh air. Make sure to stop and savor these small joys.
Create a ritual
Create something special for yourself every day such as pouring yourself a cup of coffee, lighting candles before dinner or doing yoga at sunrise. This will give you something to look forward to every
Make Time For Mindful Moments
Take time throughout your day to really appreciate everything that brings you joy, whether it’s taking a walk in nature, watching your favorite movie, or reading a book. Make sure that whatever activity you choose is something that makes you happy. Doing this daily has incredible health benefits for your state of mind.
One way to do this is by setting aside time each day for yourself to have a really mindful experience. This could be making meditation the first thing you in the morning, or right before bed. Dedicate at least 30 minutes to an hour to do something that makes you feel good and grounded. This is your time to relax, rejuvenate, connect and ground yourself before the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Fill Your Time With Meaningful Experiences
Another way to romanticize your life is by filling your social calendar with events and activities that you enjoy. Whether it’s meeting friends for coffee, going on a date or attending a networking event, make sure you’re doing things that make you happy. When you enjoy your social interactions, they won’t feel like a chore and you’ll be more likely to meet new people and expand your circle.
Elevate Your Living Space
Make sure your environment reflects the life you want to live. If you want to live a more glamorous life, fill your space with glitzy and luxurious items. If you want to live a more simple life, make sure your space is clean and clutter-free.
By surrounding yourself with things that make you happy, you’ll be more likely to feel good on a day-to-day basis. Check out our one of our favorite interior blogs Jipsē Co Studio for a plethora of tips to help you elevate your home no matter the size.
Check Your Energy
Your perspective is only as good as your current mindset and your energy. So make it a priority to do a quick daily check-in with yourself. How are you feeling? If you’re feeling down, see if there’s anything you can do in that moment to change your mood. Maybe put on some upbeat music, or take a quick walk outside for some fresh air.
If you’re feeling good, great! Make sure to take advantage of that by doing something productive or fun. Maybe start working on that project you’ve been procrastinating on, or call a friend you haven’t talked to in awhile.
The key is to be aware of how you’re feeling and take proactive steps to either improve your mood or maintain it. The mind is a powerful thing and it often seems to be the nexus of all that we perceive which can affect our day to day lives.
Energy is also a powerful force and a language between you and the universe. So always be aware of your vibration. A helpful mindset moving towards the reality of your dreams is one of gratitude. When you slowly start to see all of the things that you’ve already been given, you start to receive them ten fold.
One of my favorite things to do every morning is to really harness that early morning calm for some scripting. My Daily Manifest notebooks are available for anyone looking for a minimal daily notebook for scripting. There’s power in both your mind and energy. The more you practice harness both, the more you start to feel like you’ve got some sort of powerful secret that’s sure enough to make you feel like the main character in your life.
Show Your Body Some Love
Another one of my favorite ways to romanticize your life is by showing yourself some love daily. There’s nothing better than living your life as confidently as you can. You’d be amazed at just how a quick 30 minute work out session can really transform your whole mood and how you feel about yourself.
Not only are you releasing endorphins, but your also making actionable moves to create a strong, beautiful body. I truly believe in making fitness or movement a part of your daily routine. Whether you’re going to the gym, working out at home, or having a private dance party, it’s important to love your body and be in tune with the way you move it. For some fitness accessories while you’re on the go check out the Adjustable Ankle Weights and the Fitbit Versa Lite Edition Smartwatch.
Eat Drool-Worthy Food
Another part of loving your body is nourishment and since we eat food everyday why not make it count? It’s important to give yourself the best chance at health. And guess what health looks good. But did you know you can still be healthy and indulge in all things delicious. These days I make a conscious effort to eat foods that make me feel good both in terms of taste and ingredients.
I never really have guilty cheat days anymore because I’ve managed to make a lifestyle out of amazing, delicious, healthier alternatives! One of my absolute favorite breakfasts these days for instance is a coconut yogurt grain-free granola breakfast bowl! I’m obsessed with it and will probably share my recipe in an upcoming post. I only eat meals I literally drool over now because life’s too short to eat bad food. Check out some of my favorite things to eat down below!
Treat Yourself To A Spa Day
Can’t forget the outward glow up too! I absolutely love a good spa day or pamper session any day of the week. Spending a night-in luxiourously lounging in a bubble bath, with a great hair treatment and facial mask with a good book.
There’s nothing like it! Make yourself some tea, turn on some mellow music and treat yourself. Afterwards throw on a great silk robe to continue the lavish evening with a glass of wine or a cup of tea. Take sometime every evening to balance out with some me time.

But there are other ways to get moving and be active. Go for a walk in nature, try a new yoga class, dance around your living room, jump on a trampoline or even just do some stretching.
