How to make a life you love & really enjoy it? It’s all about getting creative in your life, and pouring your unique style into everything around you! Sound exciting? It is! Imagine having a life that feels like you, in the best sense of the word! Read on to find out more!
We often enjoy our lives more when we invest in them with our talents and efforts — when we put our unique spin on our lives.
We don’t just pull on a pair of pants and any old shirt, no. We put on a scarf and some jewelry with that top and pants that pulls the whole thing together in a way only we could envision and pull off.
Think about it: Who else in the world owns exactly those items? Who else has collected that exact shirt, pants, scarf and jewelry but you? And who else is capable of putting those items together the way you do? Only you.
And it feels good to know that. That you are weaving your essence into everything you do…
From how you set a table with these napkins and plates, those glasses, that set of silverware… on this table, in this home….
To how you create a meal, what ingredients and different dishes you put together, to how you decorate your home…and more… on and on, you can’t help but pour yourself and what you love into your life when you take the time to actually do it…
And yet… We often get stuck in a cycle of consuming instead of creating in our lives.
We buy things instead of using what we have artfully, we hoard or collect.
We watch or listen to things that other people create — podcasts, self-development videos and inspirational newsletters.
We consume tv shows or books where we are immersed in watching other people live and create in their lives instead of showing up for ours.
Consuming is easy, buying is often just a click away, and watching other people being creative & live on a screen can give us an emotional high we don’t even have to work for…
But easy doesn’t always equal enjoyment.
In fact, it can pretty joyless and hollow over time.
We often enjoy our lives more and get more pleasure from them when we notice and invest in all the tiny daily opportunities we have to create…
We don’t just put on any old pants and shirt, we put an outfit together. We accessorize it and make it us.
We don’t just eat out of the pan, or over the kitchen sink for a meal… Instead, we set a place at the table.
We don’t just turn on a podcast or the radio or news to fill the silence in the morning, we pick up our journal and create the feelings and day we want to have.
If you want to integrate more joy and fulfillment into your life this month, then decide to make tiny creative choices in your daily life:
If you already have to pack a lunch this week, make a tiny creative upgrade. Put your spin on it. It could be as simple and easy as packing a pretty napkin in there with it… or making the choice to artfully arrange the salad you were already going to pack.
Again, if you have to pick out an outfit… or put on make-up why not put a little creativity into it? Wear the lipstick you love and pair it with the perfume you bought in Paris?
Start playing with your surroundings, both physical and digital (the things you listen to, watch and read) in tiny little creative ways.
That’s how you put some of who you are back into your day and creating a life you love.
Putting you back into your life, is one of the best ways I know of to start awakening the feeling of joy in your life!
So enjoy playing with this little tip or assignment over the rest of the week and weekend, playing and creating with what you already going to do… and I will see thos of you on the Facebook page on Monday for more tips on how to enjoy your life!
