ways to see life in a softer light ✨
jump into puddles when it’s raining
draw and paint without needing to be “good”
find a cookie recipe and do your best
collect weird rocks, thinking they’re gems
fall in love with sunsets, misty mornings, snow and rainbows
borrow a big stack of books from the library
be excited for small things, like seeing a butterfly or pretty bird or a cat
do ‘embarrassing’ things without a care in the world if it makes you happy
go on your own adventures and plan new adventures for the future in a book
create detailed life stories of random strangers you see on the train
make a wish when an eyelash falls out, when you see a shooting star or ladybug, at 11:11pm, or invent your own superstitions for luck
have a rich world of imagination. create a beautiful strange world or thing to go to when you’re sad and need an escape, or just before you fall asleep so you can dream of this world.
be kind, gentle, loving and helpful without expecting anything back. make tea and sweet treats for people you love
believe in magical creatures, and make ordinary things and people magical in your own way.
learn to be alone and enjoy the silence and peace, but also care deeply about others, and make others feel loved and special like they deserve
find your signature scent, aesthetic, handwriting, songs, quotes, clothing and colors like you’re a protagonist in a movie
learn to smile instinctively at people you make eye contact with. be a person that radiates warmth. be the friend you’ve always needed and wanted
see the good side in everything. don’t hold grudges or let small things affect your happiness
when you catch yourself dreading something, keep telling yourself “it will be nice”, the worst case scenarios almost never happens
invent games for mundane things, like raindrops having a race rolling down the window
go swimming and pretend to be a mermaid, grow flowers and make jam and apple pies and pretend you’re in a fairytale
explore places aimlessly. walk without a purpose so you find nice surprises and places that become special to only you
notice beauty in things that you usually don’t pay much attention to
