I love this list of ways to romanticize your everyday life.
Lots of the ideas on the list, things like taking morning baths on the weekend, or small splurges like flowers or new nail polish, might seem familiar. You know, life is short so wear the fancy dresses and use the good china. But others seemed new to me, like the idea of playlists for everyday life events such as bill paying. I’m imagining a death metal themed playlist for that occasion.
Here’s another great one:
“I take myself on what I call ‘Date Me Days.'”
“I’ll take the day off work, get a coffee, go thrifting, eat at my favorite restaurants. … I do whatever I want to do for as long as I’d like to do it since I’m alone with no one to rush me.”
Some are sillier. One of the list contributors says, “My roommate and I have Waffle Wednesdays where we always have waffles for breakfast!” and that reminded me of our French toast Fridays. In our house, Sarah often makes French toast on the weekends, but sometimes we start the weekend early with French toast Friday.
I think we might have borrowed that idea from my fellow philosopher and cyclist friend Tim K.
Back to fitness, which is after all the main theme of the blog, one of the ways I like to make the everyday special is by giving each day its own fitness theme, like Movement Monday (see Embrace Mondays: Finding Joy in Every Day) or making Saturday a designated rest day, (see Saturday is Sam’s rest day.)
For many people in the fitness world, it’s bench press Monday and long run Sunday.
For a time I loved Sunday night hot yoga
How about you? Do you have any special fitness days?
