Get Back your Whimsy

Hear ye!

I just know my girls would vibe with this post more.

I will be honest here, if you are struggling to find motivation to keep going. Getting more disciplined might not help you because you are already too reliant on motivation.

By all means, pair the two together.

But here is one thing to know, you need to make things fun to keep pushing and keep grinding.

don’t take this literally, though.

Let's say your goal is to finish your degree and you hate studying. Get yourself stationery that would light up your study notes or decorate your study table.

If you're on a weight loss journey and you don't feel like going on, get a cute workout wear, get that yoga mat, get the dumbbells in your favourite colour.

What I'm trying to say is include little bits of your preferences into the things you're trying to achieve.

Make your room cosy while you wind down, drink a cup of tea when you wake up, and stare out to get yourself ready for the day.

Listen to music or a podcast while you do your self-care routine.

Have background classical music while you clean up.

Turn Bible study into a date with God.

Read a book and drink hot chocolate or your favourite drink and eat your favourite snacks while at it.

Treat yourself like your favourite main character does because you are the main character in your life.

And don't keep things for special occasions. Every day that you get up to live is a special occasion. Wear that outfit you are saving, use that special cup you got for your morning tea, wear the workout clothes even though you're using them in your room, style your hair, even if you're staying home all day.

Be whimsical, get back your childhood wonders and incorporate them into your adult life.

I hardly have a choice but to do this

Who cares if it is childish to do that?

Adulthood is boring!

All around you, everybody loves monotonicity; you do not have to be like that. Indulge in your childhood wonders every so often; make things pleasurable, it would make it easier to look forward to getting on a task which in the end...will help you achieve your goals for the year.

Get back to your whimsy, get back your childhood wonders, and blend them with your adult interests.

Vehemently!

You don't have to force yourself to accept how boring things are. Remember that.

How are you indulging in your Whimsy today?

Here are some starters for you. Go and be whimsical!
