Romanticization: A Magical Potion
The topic must have turned you on, but we are not talking about the romantic stuff here. Do you see movies and get elated seeing the main character, how the entire movie revolves around one person, trust me, you are that main character to your life.
Romanticization is an emotion. Solves most of your mindset problems; it is an art to believe that everything around you is better and more interesting. I have heard some famous words they say “when you die and you meet the divine; he shows you the movie of what you could have done, and then nothing can be reversed.”
Even if you smoke a cigarette, believe you caused the forest fire, you are that important to this universe; you are not one part of the system; you are the system yourself.
For me, it has been a life-changer; I find beauty in everything, there is beauty in darkness, there is peace in seeing in still water, there is happiness in sitting with your family, there is hope in patting yourself when you lift you, there is joy in applying face mask out of self-love, there is courage in standing up after you just fell, there is gratefulness in appreciating the things that you have.
I have promised to myself — I would not spend my life repenting and ranting because this universe blesses me every day; I live for small moments, and trust me, after this, you will never possess self-piteous attitude.
Before moving forward, I will tell you that sometimes even death was romanticized. They felt it was an escape from the harshness and pain of life.
But I don’t agree. If you have this life on your terms, then there is no glorification in death, death is not an escape if you have your way with life.
I have an acronym that has some simple rules for you to follow and you are going to follow them, otherwise I am going to haunt you in your dreams: “LIVE”
1) L-Living in the moment: Just forget everything that lies at the back of your head when you are with your friends and family, say goodbye to those popping deadlines, your time means your time, nothing can ruin it (I am not saying that stop working but have definite boundaries or hours for leisure and work.).
Stop bothering about the future, that does not mean you stop building it but you know; it is better done than said. Have contentment and will to grow at the same time.
2) I–Invite abundance and gratefulness into your life: They say gratitude and anxiety can’t stay in the same place. When one enters the room, the other will have to leave.
So I assume you got the secret recipe, just own a journal where you thank the universe every day.
3) V -Value: Value everything, every organ of your body that makes things so simple for you, thank your gadgets that give you access to the hub of knowledge, show love towards your acquaintances and thank them, just go and message your friends right away telling how much they matter.
Appreciation is the key to a glorious life.
4) E- Erase all the negative self talk- Stop saying I don’t look good, I am broke, Nobody likes me, my life is a mess, I can’t fix this, I need a life like him (that is the favorite one of all, when you see someone’s Instagram, you just go on cursing your own life, without acknowledging the good things about your life.)
All the essential spices to this potion are here, now it is you who shall decide how much to have of what can make you believe that this life is miraculous, it has great surprises for you. All the best, we are in this together.
