Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Hawgrow Energy Podcast.
0:18
I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:20
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:24
you to become the hawk Grow energy you want to attract. Happy Tuesday,
0:28
guys, and welcome to a new week. I have some updates for you
0:34
guys because I had such an interesting weekend, like fun weekend, not interesting,
0:41
I guess, because I finally got Zach to come to a spin Cooat
0:45
class with me. If you guys have been listening for a while, you
0:48
guys know that I've been having such a hard time with getting Zach to a
0:52
spin coot class with me. He just always, i don't know, had
0:57
this mindset that spinning wasn't for good, or just this mindset of like not
1:03
enjoying cardio, like he doesn't love cardio that much. But I was like,
1:07
babe, you know what, you got to try it out. You
1:08
can't say you don't like it until you try it, right, Like I
1:11
kept pushing it on him just because I was like, you know what,
1:15
it's such a great workout, it's such a great sweat. I just want
1:18
him to come to one class and if he hates it totally fine, at
1:21
least he tried it out, and it was also just allowing the opportunity for
1:25
him to try something different and new for himself. And yeah, so anyways,
1:30
on I want to say Wednesday or Thursday last week, I was like,
1:33
babe, you should really come to a Spinkle class with me, Like
1:34
I'm gonna go this Saturday. You should come with me, and he's like,
1:38
you know what, I'm gonna come. I was like what He's like,
1:41
yeah, just book me as your guest. And I was like okay,
1:45
So I booked him as my guest and I booked him on like one
1:48
of the classes that I was like, Okay, this is not a super
1:52
hard class. It's like the average, which is still a good workout.
1:56
But one of the instructors that I go to on Saturday sometimes she's like it's
2:00
really really intense, like really really good. So I was trying to avoid
2:04
that one specific class because I was like, Kate as a beginner class,
2:07
like this is not the class to go to. However, the class we
2:09
went to was actually a really really good one as well, So it wasn't
2:13
easy, but it wasn't super hard. It was like a good average class
2:17
and yeah, so I'm like, Kate booked him in. I'm like,
2:20
you can't say no now, I've already committed to you going, so we're
2:23
doing this. So on Saturday morning he was like, I'm nervous, like
2:27
I don't know how well I'm gonna do. I'm like, at the end
2:30
of the day, I'm like, you were on that bike, just focusing
2:31
on yourself. No one is watching you, like you're literally in the back
2:36
row. I put him. I put him in the back row just because
2:38
I knew he didn't want, you know, people looking at him, because
2:39
you know, trying something new is never easy, specifically when you're in a
2:44
big crowd of people like that. So I put him in the back corner,
2:47
which kind of sounds funny, and then I sat in front of him.
2:51
That way, if he needed help with any movements or anything, like,
2:53
he could just see me right in the front and I could guide him.
2:57
So I was like, you have nothing to fear, like, no
3:00
one's going to really see you. And also it just allows you to test
3:01
out the class and see if you even like it. And he's like,
3:04
okay, okay, like just like he was just being a baby about it,
3:07
and like, literally, stop, You're going to be fine. And
3:10
then we got in the class, and if you've never done a Spinko class,
3:15
basically when you walk in, they give you a pair of shoes and
3:17
hit a sign, a waiver or whatever. We get into the class and
3:21
like, he knows how to clip into a bike, but I feel like
3:23
every bike is different. So even for me, like my first Spinko class,
3:28
I couldn't click in, Like I couldn't click my shoes into the bike
3:30
properly, and it just kind of took a bit to learn. So usually
3:34
when I bring a guest or someone that's never been to a Spinko class,
3:37
usually they don't get out of the bike because they don't know how to like
3:40
they don't know how to on clip whatever. And so Zach he clips in.
3:46
He looks at me and he's like, yeah, there's no way I'm
3:46
getting out of this. So like I'm stuck here and we start writing for
3:51
the first few songs, and I noticed that his towel is on the ground,
3:57
And usually when you're in a spinkle class, they give you towels because
3:59
you get so sweat, right, like just to wipe yourself whatever, And
4:01
I'm like, that's weird, Like why would he throw his towel on the
4:03
ground. Anyways, obviously you can't talk during the class, so I'm just
4:08
assuming he's doing good. I turn around give him the thumbs up, and
4:11
then after the class I look at him. He's literally covered and sweat.
4:15
His top is soaked, and I'm like, see was It's such a great
4:19
workout and he's like, my towel fell the first two minutes of the ride
4:25
and he couldn't reach it because he couldn't unclip out of his bike, and
4:28
also the room is pitch block, so clipping back in would be a bit
4:30
difficult. So he's like, I had to use my shirt as my towel
4:34
to wipe all the sweat off. I'm like, oh my god, that
4:39
is so crappy, Like what a crappy situation be. And I'm like,
4:41
you should have just grabbed mine when I was like wiping my back or something,
4:44
just for him to use. He's like, oh, I almost did
4:46
at some points, but no. But all in all, if you didn't
4:50
watch my Instagram reel, you should go watch it, just because it's a
4:53
little funny. Reel of Zach doing my morning routine on Saturday. But it
4:58
was actually Zach's favorite thing ever, Like he loved it, and he's actually
5:03
coming back with me next Saturday. We already booked the class together, and
5:08
he said, I want to make this a weekly thing, Like I want
5:09
this to be our thing on Saturdays. It gets him, you know,
5:13
working out all that. I think what's really motivating him is that he knows
5:16
how much working out means to me and how I feel like it's such an
5:21
important thing for people to include into their lifestyle, just working out moving their
5:27
body, whether it's you know, two times a week, three times a
5:29
week, four times a week, like I try and you know, explain
5:33
that to him that, like it really puts a huge impact in your mental
5:39
health if you don't move your body in ways. And Zach used to be
5:42
a really really big gym guy. Like we actually both started our health and
5:45
wellness journey together when we were like five or six years into dating. We
5:48
both decided to become more you know, focus on our health more into working
5:53
out all that. And I want to say the last two years, he's
5:57
kind of fallen off a track of working out, like he maybe works out
6:02
twice a week and the reason being for that is because he works a physical
6:08
labor job. So my fiance, Zach is in the Union, so he's
6:12
an electrician. He works super early mornings, he works super late nights.
6:16
He you know, he is kind of getting a workout in, I guess
6:20
because with his job, you know, he's on tools all that. But
6:24
he leaves the house at like five fifteen every morning and he doesn't get home
6:29
till seven. So the only time he really could do it is if he
6:34
really wanted to after work. But by the time we cook dinner, clean
6:36
up dinner, all that, it's like eight pm. So he's mentally exhausted
6:41
from his day that he doesn't even want to do a workout, and he's
6:44
trying to do the four am morning routine. But like I'm sure you're probably
6:48
listening to that thinking, wow, that sounds difficult. I know for me,
6:51
like waking up at four am would be a lot, And you know,
6:56
if he can do it, great, If he can't, like,
6:58
it's not the end of the world. So I think what's motivating him to
7:00
do this Spinco class is that it allows him to push himself to do a
7:02
workout once a week, even if it is just a cardio session, and
7:05
then you know, maybe that will motivate him to maybe do a workout on
7:10
Sunday mornings or Friday nights or whatever the case may be, or Monday nights.
7:14
So he just he's trying to push himself to get back into a workout
7:16
routine, and I think that Spinko class really woke him up and just wanting
7:20
to be in better shape again and wanting to be working out again, and
7:24
how good he felt after the class. So yeah, so I'm excited to
7:28
keep doing the classes with him. I'm happy he actually enjoyed it and he's,
7:32
yeah, looking forward to the next one already. So anyways, I
7:35
just wanted to bring that up just because I think it's fun to do things
7:38
with your partners, specifically things that your partner has never tried before and just
7:42
you know, doing something out of their comfort zone. And he really enjoyed
7:45
it, and I'm happy he's going to come back. So yeah, that's
7:47
a little weekend recap. Everything else we did was honestly super low key.
7:51
We tried out some new dinner recipes. That's like Zach and I's favorite thing.
7:55
We love to cook new recipes at home, like Zach and I are
7:59
literally at no me cooks, Like we literally just love to try new recipes
8:01
and try them out together. And I always love filming us cooking just because
8:05
it's our love language. It's our favorite thing to do together. And I
8:09
feel like you guys love the cooking videos as well, so that makes me
8:11
super happy. So it's a fun little thing to do for my job.
8:15
And yeah, so let's get into this episode because I feel like I haven't
8:18
done a episode like this in a very long time, which is how to
8:20
romanticize your life this spring season, how to enjoy the little things. And
8:28
here's an example of just romanticizing my life right now. It's Monday night.
8:31
I have a candlelight. I'm literally watching the sunset from my main floor window,
8:37
and I'm creating an ambiance while I'm recording this episode right now. Like
8:41
to me, like just lighting a candle and setting the mood makes me feel
8:46
like I'm romanticizing my life. So I'm gonna give you guys some little tips
8:50
on what you can do during your day to day life or just the little
8:54
things that can mean so much to you that you don't even realize, and
8:56
I have about sixteen things here that I want to talk about just because these
9:01
are some things that I have done already or things that I strive to do
9:05
every season. And I feel like it's sometimes the littlest things brings so much
9:09
pleasure and so much like beauty in your life, and I feel like you
9:16
might as well romanticize your life. You only live once, and yeah,
9:18
so let's get into it. Okay. The first thing you're gonna do is
9:22
you're going to make a list of things in your phone of just simple pleasures,
9:26
so a go to list that's easily accessible that you can just lift your
9:30
mood. So go into your notesap on your phone and maybe write down eight
9:33
things that lift your mood. So maybe that's going on a walk, Maybe
9:39
that's stretching your body. Maybe that's going out to get a macha or a
9:43
coffee. It's just those little reminders that allows you to soak up those moments
9:48
and realize how amazing your everyday life is and it makes you just enjoy those
9:54
little things so much more, if that makes sense. You guys know how
9:58
much it means to me just going for a walk and getting a coffee.
10:01
The weather's been so freaking nice as spring season already, and being able to
10:05
go outside, go for a walk and get a coffee is like literally one
10:09
thing that just lifts my mood so much. I could have a shit day,
10:13
go on a hawker a walk and get my coffee. I'll be the
10:16
happiest person ever after. Like, it's just those little things that brightens my
10:20
day so much. And honestly, I think about like last summer for an
10:24
example, and just doing the little summer morning routines that I have that I
10:28
miss so much, and I just can't wait to get back into that routine
10:31
once summer is here. But you know, as I said, the weather's
10:35
already been super nice, so I've been able to include some of those things
10:37
back into my routine. And it just makes me so excited to those little
10:41
things because I know how much it impacts my mood, impacts my mindset.
10:45
It makes me feel so good. So do that. Write some simple pleasures
10:50
in your phone on the notes app. Just whenever you're feeling down one day,
10:52
if you need something to lift your mood, look at that note and
10:56
just look at all those things and do one or two of those things just
10:58
to lift your mood. And I'm telling you right now you will be in
11:01
such a better mindset throughout the day just by doing the simple little pleasures that
11:05
make you feel so good. The next thing you're going to do is you're
11:09
going to create a spring mood board. And what I mean by that is,
11:11
like, what do you want to achieve this season? We are all
11:15
about creating goals for ourselves, setting goals for yourself for every season or every
11:20
year, and I think going into the spring season that we're in right now,
11:22
there's obviously some things that you probably want to do for yourself. And
11:26
maybe that's, you know, getting weekly floral arrangements, or going on a
11:30
walk every single day outside, or maybe it's just the overall vibe you want
11:35
to create for yourself this spring season. So go on Pinterest, save some
11:39
images. Maybe there's some photos that you want to take during the spring season.
11:43
Obviously I love to capture my life and I love to capture moments that
11:48
are fun to me, specifically for the spring season. So right now I've
11:50
been creating a spring mood board of images that I want to capture throughout the
11:56
spring season that brings me so much joy. So go on Pinterest, find
12:00
your favorite images, maybe find some ideas of things that you want to do
12:03
with your friends, or just things that you want to do in your downtime,
12:07
and really just create the vibe that you want to portray this spring season.
12:11
Another way to romanticize your life is really elevating you're at home cooked meals,
12:16
and what I mean by that is change it up. What I'm saying
12:18
is, let's go on Instagram and start changing up your dinner recipes. If
12:22
you're cooking the same stuff every week, obviously it's not really exciting to eat
12:26
the same thing all the time. So by romanticizing your life, let's try
12:31
a new recipe out. Light a candle, create some ambiance in your kitchen,
12:35
maybe get some fun lighting going, put on a YouTube video or maybe
12:41
even some slow music, and really just create a fun vibe while you're cooking.
12:45
I feel like there definitely plays a huge presence in the overall tone of
12:50
the room when you set the vibe. It's amazing how much a candle,
12:54
setting different lighting on and adding a YouTube video or music in the background just
12:58
plays such a big impact in your overall mood as well. While cooking,
13:01
cooking with nothing is obviously boring and it doesn't sound fun. But by romanticizing
13:07
it by making it fun, by making it enjoyable, by trying something new,
13:11
by trying new recipes, makes it exciting. So it's almost like having
13:15
a candlelit dinner to yourself, maybe pouring a glass of wine, or as
13:18
I said, with your partner or a friend. Just really make it fun
13:22
and enjoyable, just by doing those little things, which brings me to my
13:26
next point, which is planning a fun date night with your friend or your
13:30
boyfriend. One thing that I've been wanting to try so badly is a painting
13:35
night. Tell me if you guys have seen this on TikTok or Instagram,
13:39
but I've seen couples paint each other. Sorry, just by this so funny
13:45
where the you know, I would paint Zach, Zach would paint me.
13:48
And usually the drawings and paintings are so freaking funny because the girl usually looks
13:54
like it looks pretty good of the guy, like it looks like the guy
13:58
basically, and then the guy painting the girl it just looks like awful,
14:03
like does not look like the girl at all, And they put so much
14:05
effort into it and it's so funny. So yeah, anyways, stay tuned
14:09
for that because I think that'd be a really funny video just because I've seen
14:11
so many people do it. But this is your sign that if you haven't
14:15
done a paint night with your partner or your best friend, you need to
14:18
do a little paint night. It's so fun to also be disconnected from your
14:22
phones and just do a little craft. Brings like the inner child out of
14:26
you, I find, and it's something fun to do as little date night
14:28
with your partner or your friend, another fun little date idea with your girlfriend
14:33
or honestly just yourself. This can totally be done just buy yourself at home,
14:37
but creating a spring or summer movie list of all the movies that you
14:41
want to watch for the next three to four months. I have been very
14:46
much into my romantic movies or romantic comedies, so I actually made a list
14:50
in my phone of like all the movies that I want to rewatch. As
14:54
much as I love to watch new movies, I also love to rewatch movies
14:58
that I haven't seen in so many years. And I just love watching like
15:03
romantic movies and watching it again. I don't know, I just like love
15:05
the spark between a couple. It makes me feel so happy and feel so
15:09
good, and I just love watching a cheesy romantic movie. It's just like
15:11
one of my favorite things. So some of the movies that I have on
15:15
my list currently are Dear John, The Vow, Save Haven, This one
15:20
I actually watched last night. That movie is so underrated. I find Juliane
15:24
Huff Oh my god, I freaking love her. And what I love about
15:28
the movies that it's not just a romantic movie but it's also kind of a
15:31
thriller because of the husband being a psycho. Anyways, I don't want to
15:35
give too much a way if you haven't seen Save Haven, but it's on
15:37
Netflix right now. But like just a list like that of just going through
15:41
movies that you haven't seen. Another one is why am I blanking on the
15:46
movie title right now? The one with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hensworth. When
15:50
I look at you, I think, oh my god, that's the song
15:54
the the movies called the Last Song. Why am I So Crazy? Anyways,
16:00
I was kind of right because that is a song in the movie.
16:02
But the Last Song is one of my favorite movies ever as well. But
16:06
yeah, those are just some of the romantic movies that I have on my
16:07
list right now that I love, and I'm slowly starting to create more to
16:11
the list as i find them on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Oh another one
16:18
that I just watched actually that was part of my list was The Ugly Truth.
16:22
That was a really good movie as well. So just create a list
16:23
of movies that you haven't seen in a while that honestly just makes you happy.
16:27
It's like, oh, another one, The Longest Ride, Oh my
16:30
god, I love that movie. That's such a good movie. Anyways,
16:33
I'm just thinking of the movies right now and I'm so excited to rewatch them.
16:36
But yeah, create a list in your phone and you'll be able to
16:40
look back and honestly, as I said, just having a night like that,
16:42
being able to romanticize and just watch a romantic movie like as I said,
16:47
light a candle. Maybe cozy up your home by getting blankets all that,
16:51
and yeah, it's literally the best. So talking about movies, as
16:55
I mentioned, cozying up your home, I feel like plays such an important
16:59
factor in living alone or just living in a home, Like by adding things
17:03
to make your home just ten times better is so necessary. Like I'm going
17:07
to bring up candles again because candles are literally my favorite thing ever. But
17:11
another huge factor that I find really sets the mood is cool lighting, like
17:15
whether it's a red light or a like a blue starlight. Like you can
17:19
get so many cool different lights from Amazon for a really affordable price, and
17:23
it literally just sets the vibe of the room. Like one of my favorite
17:27
things in my house is my fireplace because it literally projects orange in my home,
17:33
like an orange light in my living room. It's such a cool effect
17:37
and I find it really just sets the tone of my living room and it
17:40
makes it so cozy and enjoyable. Maybe invest in getting cute cozy blankets for
17:45
you to cuddle with. Simply just adding these little things to your space will
17:48
make it ten times cozier and it will almost create a little safe spot for
17:52
you. So yeah, just romanticizing your home by adding these things I think
17:56
are crucial to just setting the vibe, setting the tone, and just yeah,
18:02
having a cozy space in your home is so essential. Another thing that
18:04
I love to do this is like very therapeutic to me, is go on
18:08
a sunset drive, blast your favorite music or your favorite playlist, and just
18:15
chill, like can we talk about just driving for thirty minutes with your windows
18:18
down at sunset blaring your favorite music like that is therapy to me. If
18:23
you don't like to drive, then go on a long walk and just blast
18:26
your favorite playlist while you're walking. But there's something about blasting music and just
18:30
almost like zoning out, whether it's walking or driving, there's something extremely therapeutic
18:36
about that. I don't know how to even explain it. It's just something
18:40
again that just lifts my mood and just makes me so happy. So yeah,
18:45
just enjoying those little moments I think are so so important. Okay,
18:48
Another thing you can do to rmenticize your life is pick up a new hobby,
18:53
and one hobby that I can think of that I picked up last summer
18:56
that I hope to continue this summer, and maybe I'll try some different this
19:00
year. Who knows. But last summer, Zach and I started to play
19:03
pickleball, and I've never played pickleball in my life. I used to play
19:07
tennis years ago when I was a kid, like super super young, and
19:11
then I stopped playing when I was like seven or eight. So I have
19:15
no tennis skills anymore, like I have not kept anything because I'm twenty eight
19:19
now, so that would be twenty years and I honestly have not kept any
19:25
skill from tennis. But anyways, when Zach and I played pickleball, I
19:30
actually really liked it. It was a really enjoyable thing to do, and
19:33
it was a fun little date night for him and I got us out of
19:34
the house. We've got some movement in and it's just something fun to do
19:38
with a friend or a partner, and it's something new to certain people.
19:42
So that's something that I picked up last summer that I really enjoyed, and
19:45
it was something that I was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I
19:48
really enjoyed doing it. So if you've never played, highly recommend it.
19:53
But maybe there'll be something new that I'll try this summer. I don't know,
19:56
but definitely pickleball is a fun thing to do. Another thing that you
20:00
could do to romanticize your life is create your dream morning routine or night routine.
20:03
If you're the kind of person that doesn't have any kind of routine in
20:07
your life, then you need to start planning your dream routine and your goals,
20:12
like what do you want to do for yourself in the morning and at
20:15
night. What is crucial to you. Once you start creating a routine for
20:18
yourself, it creates a habit of just doing those things every single night or
20:22
every single morning, and it makes you feel good. It makes you want
20:26
to do those things. It allows you to look forward to doing those things
20:30
when you wake up or when you go to bed. Like I love being
20:33
a routine person. It truly has changed my life for the better and cannot
20:40
say enough amazing things about it. And a morning routine can be as simple
20:42
as doing small little steps. It doesn't have to be a two or three
20:48
hour thing. Obviously, if you have the luxury of doing that, you
20:51
should do it, But if you don't, it could be as simple as
20:53
three things in the morning that you always want to do. That just allows
20:56
you to feel like you have your shit together and it just allows you to
21:00
to get everything that you need to get done for the morning as well or
21:03
for the night as well. So keep that in mind. If you're someone
21:06
that doesn't have a routine, this is your opportunity to do so and start
21:08
planning your ideal routine, So definitely look into it if you haven't done that
21:14
for yourself. Another one is is just hosting more. One of my goals
21:18
for twenty twenty four was to host more dinners with my friends because I truly
21:22
enjoy just hosting, like I love being able to create fun and entertaining things
21:27
in my home and being able to share those experiences with my friends. And
21:33
for example, my birthday party, did I have time to really host something?
21:37
Absolutely not, Like I literally had forty eight hours to host an entire
21:40
birthday party. Did I make it happen? Yes, because I was so
21:44
determined on doing it, because I've been thinking about that for so long,
21:48
of just hosting a fun, intimate dinner with my friends, and I'm already
21:52
looking forward to the next one. I don't know what I'm going to plan
21:53
the next one. I do want to base a theme around it. I
21:56
like themes because then I can dress up my house for the theme. So
22:00
with my birthday party, I really wanted to do a wine in pac the
22:03
tasting night. So that's what we did, and it turned out so good
22:07
and it was so enjoyable. It was so fun. Everybody was helping out.
22:11
It's not like I was doing all the cooking and cleaning, like all
22:12
the girls were involved, which honestly made it ten times better having everyone included
22:17
in the cooking and the cleaning and just everything about it. I don't know,
22:21
it was just such a fun little date idea. And yeah, I
22:22
highly recommend being in your hosting era because it is honestly a lot of fun.
22:27
Even if you have a book club or something that's super fun, or
22:32
even like a movie club, maybe like just starting something with your friends,
22:36
I think could be a really fun thing to look forward to. Another way
22:38
to romanticize your life is having an at home spaw night. Have a face
22:44
mask on, maybe do a candle light meditation session, do a hair mask,
22:48
maybe take a hot bath with some epps and salts, like really creating
22:52
at home spa vibe in your home. Like this sounds amazing, Like this
22:56
sounds like like I literally want to do all of this right now. You
23:00
cannot say no to a self care night, like literally, it is a
23:03
game changing. It is again therapeutic. It's a way to lift your mood.
23:08
You feel so good after doing all those things for yourself. You took
23:11
time out of your day to do those things for yourself, which is also
23:15
just such an amazing feeling to know that you put that time aside to folcs
23:19
on yourself and take care of yourself. So if you haven't done a spat
23:23
nite at home, take a Thursday or a Friday night to yourself and just
23:29
literally have a spat night at home. Okay, this next one. I've
23:32
been doing this for I want to say five years now, and this is
23:36
something that I never really thought about because I thought everybody did this, but
23:38
I guess not everybody does. And that is just wearing matching pajama sets.
23:44
I have been obsessed with matching PJ sets for the longest time, and I
23:48
feel like it has changed my entire life, Like going to bed with a
23:51
cute PG set, waking up in the morning with a cute set on,
23:53
Like I don't know, there's something that just feels so right about that.
23:59
I feel puts together when I wake up. I don't feel sloppy. I
24:02
feel like when I look at myself in high school, when I used to
24:03
wear those like I don't even know, like box or shorts and like raggy
24:10
gym shirts or like sports shirts that I got from soccer ringett Like I literally
24:15
did not give two shits what I looked like. But when I went to
24:18
bed and when I woke up. But I know it sounds stupid, but
24:21
having a cute little PJ set on really does change the game. I don't
24:26
even know. I can't even explain it. I just feel so much better
24:30
with a cute set on verse like with raggy clothes on. I don't know,
24:33
but trust me, if you've never done it, highly recommend it.
24:36
It's the smallest little thing, but it really does make you feel ten times
24:40
better. Another thing you can do to romanticize your life is purchasing yourself a
24:44
cute coffee mug. I'm that kind of person where I literally wake up and
24:48
all I can think about is my morning coffee. Like that, to me,
24:51
is my favorite thing of my morning routine is just making my iced coffee
24:55
and having that every single morning. And I find sometimes having obviously cute things
25:00
makes things better. But if you purchase yourself a cute mug that's related to
25:04
this season just makes things ten times better. Like Christmas, I love to
25:08
have a Christmas mug this spring season. I actually bought I call it my
25:12
Pinterest mug, just because I literally find it looks like a Pinterest mug,
25:17
like it literally has bos on it. It has tulips on it, and
25:21
it just literally looks like a spring mug. And I love it. And
25:23
I've been using that to pour my coffee every single morning, and it's just
25:27
the little things. I don't know. It just brings so much joy to
25:30
my morning, and I find it allows me to look forward to making my
25:34
coffee in the morning. It excites me. It's something to, you know,
25:38
change up every season. It allows you to collect, you know,
25:42
some mugs. Even if you want to paint a new mug for yourself.
25:45
I think that'd be really fun. I always talk about doing that, still
25:48
have only done it once for the fall season. I am not a good
25:52
painter, but like not a good enough painter to paint a mug. Like
25:56
I can paint a canvas because like it's just a piece of cake, but
26:00
or a candle. I could probably paint a candle, but I feel like
26:03
a mug. I don't know. My mug wasn't that good, So I
26:06
don't know if I want to do it again. But I will paint something
26:08
else, just not a mug. I will buy my mugs, I think,
26:11
moving forward. But it is a fun thing if you're good at painting.
26:14
I do recommend it. Maybe I just need to try and paint something
26:17
else. Maybe that's the case. I don't think it's the painting of the
26:19
mug. I think I'm just trying to paint something too difficult. I think
26:22
I need to maybe make it a bit easier myself. Who knows, Okay.
26:26
Another thing you can do tormenticize your life is planning the perfect day,
26:32
like have a me day to yourself and just do a day of your favorite
26:36
things. And that could be like going on a picnic, going to get
26:40
a coffee, buying yourself flowers, getting a massage, maybe go window shopping,
26:45
just finding things that make you feel happy, because whenever you're feeling down
26:49
and you want to lift your mood, like obviously, doing those things that
26:53
I mentioned in your notes, just of things that lift your mood is important,
26:57
but also having a day to yourself of doing fun things that you never
27:02
get to do is also important because it just truly makes you feel so happy
27:10
and just your mood totally just ships whenever you do something like that to yourself.
27:14
I did that for my birthday. I literally did all these things in
27:15
my birthday. I got my favorite coffee, I bought myself flowers, I
27:21
got a massage, I had like a little spa day. It was literally
27:25
the perfect medday ever. I got my favorite takeout food for dinner, which
27:27
was pizza. And Yeah, sometimes you have to splurge on certain things,
27:33
but I feel like when you're splurging on yourself to I don't know, make
27:36
yourself feel good, I think there's nothing wrong with that, and I don't
27:38
know, it feels good to do. So the last thing that I'm gonna
27:41
mention when it comes to romanticizing your life is just planning more solo dates.
27:47
I think a lot of people don't take enough time to themselves, and that
27:51
could be as small as going to work at a coffee shop alone, or
27:53
you know, learning how to just enjoy your own company by going on a
27:57
picnic alone or going on a walk alone. Just like, being more independent
28:02
and finding ways to just enjoy your own company is something that I feel like
28:06
a lot of people don't too. I feel like I struggle with that a
28:08
lot. In twenty twenty two and in twenty twenty three, it was a
28:11
big goal of mine to take myself on more solo dates and just enjoy my
28:15
own company. So I feel like I did a really good job with that
28:18
last year, and going into this year, I feel like I do a
28:21
great job with that now of just really enjoying my own company and doing little
28:25
dates to myself. You know, I work alone, so I definitely have
28:29
to enjoy my own company, and I feel like I find ways to do
28:33
that just by you know, going to coffee shops, going outside, enjoying
28:37
the fresh air, going on walks, all that. So you really need
28:41
to just, yeah, take time to yourself. It's important to take that
28:44
time to yourself and yeah, just enjoy your own company. So those are
28:48
some things and some tips that I recommend if you're looking to romanticize your life
28:53
this spring season. I feel like a lot of these things are easy,
28:56
and I don't think it's hard to do these things, but I do think
29:00
it really makes a huge difference in your life. And just the small little
29:04
details and the small little things truly mean so much to people, and I
29:08
don't think they realize that. It's honestly those small things that I truly appreciate
29:12
so much. And I think it's also just because I practice so much gratitude
29:18
that I feel like I'm beyond grateful for small little things. Like that,
29:22
and being able to have these small little moments to myself, these small little
29:26
things that I just, I don't know, I cherish so much. So
29:30
I hope you guys take away from this episode that doing these little things can
29:33
make your life so much better. It's not difficult. It will literally just
29:37
instantly lift your mood so much. And usually the spring season is kind of
29:41
rainy, right, and if you're someone like me who has a hard time
29:45
dealing with gloomy weather and just needs a way to lift their mood when they're
29:48
feeling down, I feel like these things could really help you out of a
29:52
rut or just help you, yeah, lift your overall mood. If you
29:55
live alone, doing these things or mendicizing your nights at home, the mornings,
30:00
anything like that, I feel like this could be a really good list
30:03
to go through and yeah, just really amplify your life and make you feel
30:11
excited to live your life every day. So I hope you guys enjoyed this
30:14
