Hey there! This week’s tea talk features my cinnamon-apple tea and in the life update I discuss in person school and having a slower week. To introduce this week’s topic, I give a definition of romanticizing your life, where I discovered this ideology, and the structure for this episode. I then turn to my experience, where I describe my tricky relationship with romanticization, how I currently treat it, and how it has benefitted me. Next, I teach you how to apply this mentality: shifting your mindset into prioritising yourself! Afterward I look at two main limitations: not harming others and doing this for yourself. I conclude with some takeaways, talk about my favourite podcast, online creator, and song, before signing off.

HERE ARE SONE QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK’S EPISODE: 11:40 = “Romanticizing your life is a representation of seeing yourself as the main character,literally thinking like you are in a movie, and living as if there were more to it than simply doing” 12:00 = “Thinking that you’re part of something greater in the grand scheme of life, yet your role remains vital” 12:20 = “Romanticizing your life comes down to bringing things to a deeper level where things acquire a greater meaning” 12:50 = “Romanticizing your life can spark more intention in your day to day life and make you feel more fulfilled” 13:30 = “Romanticizing your life means remembering how valuable you are and how beautiful life can be” 20:54 = “Taking the proactive decision to craft your life into something that you like and think is beautiful from the tiniest little details” 22:35 = “I feel like I’m the main character, I feel like I’m important and all the little details are valuable” 23:30 = “I have a limited time on this earth, and if I don’t put energy into making it as glamorous, beautiful, and intense as it can be every single day, nobody else is going to do that for me” 23:40 = “Life happens, but you can transform that experience so ugh if you just change your mindset a bit” 28:07 = “What if it did matter? What if we were able to treat things like they were important and make things more intentional?” 30:30 = “Stop living on autopilot”
