Journaling in nature
There’s nothing like taking your favourite journal down to the beach or to a park to reflect on the day. On the way you would pet the dogs you pass by, sip on an iced matcha and enjoy the view. Take a journaling break and develop your creative practice – whether that be writing, making art, songwriting, junk journaling or simply expressing gratitude.
Wearing a tiara while relaxing
Is there any better feeling than princess treatment? When you finish up a long day, you can relax by sliding on a tiara and over-the-top pyjamas. The goal is to be as comfortable and as princess-y as possible.
Saying hi! to the creatures that pass by
Greeting the sweet little creatures you come across with some kind words and hellos. And maybe you can give them names if you’re feeling extra whimsical.
Displaying a photo of your childhood self
Displaying an adorable photo of your childhood self on your desk can bring more whimsy into your life. There’s something healing about it too; seeing the hopeful, sweet and lovingly kind version of yourself. It’s as if you’re watching over your inner child as you go about your day.
Scribbling down your favourite moment of the day
Keep a notepad on your night stand and before you drift off to sleep, scribble down your favourite moment of the day. It could be when a stranger smiled at you or maybe it was when you got to pet a gorgeous dog.
Putting your phone down and going outside
Finally, getting rid of your phone so you can have some quality time with yourself is essential for becoming more playful and whimsical in your life. It will allow you to pay attention to the things that matter, like bumping into your favourite neighbours, having a laugh with your barista at your local cafe or simply enjoying the weather.
