Life’s better when it’s a little whimsical

by Akhona Ndlela

Life’s better when it’s a little whimsical, even if it’s really a tiny bit.

It provides a gentler form of resilience in a society that promotes structure as safety. A reminder that meaningful living doesn’t always require productivity. That joy, the quiet, home-made kind, is rebellion in and of itself.

Letting go of the need for everything to make sense brings about a certain kind of peace. It is when you spontaneously decide to wear boots in the summer simply because they seem bold. Or lighting a candle for yourself at 11 a.m. on any random Tuesday, not for romance or guests but for peaceful atmosphere that it brings with it.

Gorgeous Life claims that you can embrace humour, curiosity, and awe to make your life more whimsical. By releasing endorphins and breaking up monotony, it not only enhances your physical, mental, and emotional health but also lowers stress and anxiety. By promoting unorthodox approaches to problem-solving and viewing everyday objects as sources of inspiration, it also fosters creativity and imagination.

According to Mrsmindwest, take up an artistic hobby to develop your skills and express your creativity, like painting, drawing, or designing. Organise and display your home as though it were an artistic endeavour. Lastly, write creatively to discover your hidden sides and improve your communication abilities. Keep in mind that writing can be a joyful and fulfilling endeavour.

The above source also shares to add whimsy to your outfit, pick a signature fragrance, a favourite colour, or whimsical accessories. You can incorporate these girly details into your everyday life, and they can have an impact on your heart and mind. Accessorise any outfit with ruffled aprons, hats, or delicate necklaces to add a whimsical touch.
