Dear First name / friend,

 

For issue 3 of the Self-Mastery Series we're talking about a mindset that took my daily experience to new heights, romanticizing life. 

 

I initially planned to create fresh content on this subject, but then it dawned on me that I had written an article about it a few years back which was incredibly well-received…. 

 

So I dug into my email archive and discovered that the last time I covered this topic in my newsletter was September 28, 2020 – almost exactly three years ago! (talk about consistency) 

 

I must say, it still holds up remarkably well.

 

What's the best way to begin romanticize your life? Start with your morning. 🌹

 

So, for those who have been with me since then, here's a trip down memory lane (let me know if you remember this one). If you're new, enjoy a piece of advice from 2020 Ellina. I hardly made any edits to preserve its authenticity. 

 

I personally love this response. It's romantic and simple, but what if you don't have a significant other right now?

OR you have a significant other, but they went away for the weekend for a trip with friends?

Does that mean paradise is now out of reach?

 

Hmm.. I don't see anything there about a partner...

 

Do you realize that the longest relationship you'll ever have is the one you have with yourself? 

 

I can feel you rolling your eyes from here...

 

... Or maybe that's just what I would have done if I were you a few years ago. Self-love is a tricky construct. It means something different to everyone.

 

For me, self-love blossomed in the form of no longer waiting for someone outside of myself to bring romance into my life.

 

That's how the tradition of romanticize your morning was born.

 

To romanticize your morning is to have a simple ritual that you practice mindfully every morning. Having a conscious routine creates alignment, control, and helps set the tone for your day. Romanticizing it makes it charming.

 

You can romanticize your morning by paying attention to detail, practicing presence by smelling your hot beverage before drinking it, really tasting it, playing music in the background, the list goes on...The way you start your day greatly determines how your day goes.

 

The way you love yourself sets the standard for how others love you.

 

And the funny thing is that when you generate romance from within, you start finding it all around you in mysterious ways... 

 

Wishing you the best day ever.

 

P.S. I also have a popular playlist on Spotify to go along with this mindset. Many of you probably follow it already, but in case you don't, here it is! 

 

P.P.S. If you share any moments of romanticizing your morning on social media, make sure to tag me! I love seeing everyone's unique creative approach to this practice.
