30 Things To Make Life Unforgettable

Appreciating life is one of the things I´ve learned this year, small things, happy moments... All of them are valuable for who we are as well as who we will become. However, we are not conscious of what we have, all the feellings we are experimenting and the opportunities we are losing for doing other things (such as being on our phones 5+ hours). I hope this list helps you making life a little bit simpler.

Walking in the rain. In my city rains a lot, so I´m not going to propose you going to the beach, since I can´t (obv you can do it), we have to adapt ourselves to what we have, and rain is one of my favourite things, I used to hate it when I was younger tho.

Spend your day in a cozy cafe. Not only can you have a coffee, but you can also read, study and be productive. The bes part is that you are experimenting new things, being productive and having fun with a hot coffe/tea.

Put your phone away. Be present babe, this is all what we have, you want to live your life, don´t you? Then start doing it, of course you are not going to live advemtures everyday, but at least you can try it. :)

Learn new things. It will never be a waste of time knowledge.

Be more passionate and intense. Who cares if you are too much? It only matters what YOU want.

Trying new recipees. I didn´t use to be a big fan of cooking, but I tried it few months ago, and let me tell you, all I do naw are bisquits for people I care.

More museums, more art gallery. I´ve always wanted to give mysterious girl vibes (I´m a yapper but introverted at the same time) you can always try reading in a museum.

"For the plot" mindset. My friends and I sometimes play saying yes to almost everything, just to see hwo things develop. It´s very fun:)

Bucketlisting. In a world of consumerism no one can scape

Trying something new. I started dancing, and I feel so energetic.

Learning to be alone. I do have a post about it :) go check it after this one.

Candle+Sweater=Coziness. Scented candles, my bff in autumn/winter.

Book annotating. It helps focusing, you can go through your notes after it and in my opinion creates more powerful bonds with the story and you.

Old classic books. Culture girls are the hottest.

Cooking your own meals. It's such a simple and sweet act of self-care. You can also try making your own Jam or something.

Doing things that you enjoyed as a child. My favorites are horse riding, swimming, baking, and bubble baths.

Buying flowers for yourself. It doesn't have to be an expensive and fancy bouquet, just some pretty flowers for your room.

Doing your nails. I like red wine ones, makes me feel like a vampire!

Taking more Photos. You can also buy a cool vintage camera (I recommend looking on eBay!) to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Trying crochet, knitting, or sewing. I'm trying to crochet a sweater for my dog right now, haha.

Planting a plant. I tried to plant an avocado, but it didn´t grow as i expected, although i´ll keep trying it

Making plans with your friends like going on a picnic. You could plan some themed picnics like cottagecore, homemade food from your culture, strawberries, and so on; also a great opportunity to take some pictures!

Do volunteer work. Tried it last year, it was so fun to learn new skills and meeting new people while trying to make world better.

Writing a diary. Writing down things that have happened and looking back at them feels really lovely to me.

Writing letters to your friends. Letters just feel more personal than text; you can also keep them as a memory.

Dressing in a way that makes you feel happy. Wearing outfits that make you feel confident will definitely make life better.

Petting stray cats. I love cats.

Starting to collect something. You could collect something small like jewelry or postcards!

Playing music in the background while doing stuff. I can't stop listening to the lofi girl stream on youtube, haha.

Going on gloomy walks in the Forrest. Name something more comforting. I will wait.

Please feel free to add more suggestions in the comments! <3

My Dopamine Menu⋆౨ৎ˚⟡.•

A dopamine menu is a list of tasks that you enjoy doing such as hobbies or random things you like doing! Adding tasks from your dopamine menu into your every day routines is a good way to avoid doom scrolling on TikTok or Instagram reels. These tasks don't need to be super complex they can be very simple little things you enjoy, for example it could be making fake online shopping carts or organizing your jewelry! Whatever is enjoyable to you.

With that being said here is my personal example of a dopamine menu:

♡ Do a face mask

♡ Paint nails 

♡ Read (online blogs, books)

♡ Journal about whatever / make fun lists

♡ Post on Tumblr 

♡ Scroll through Pinterest and make new boards with fun prompts (ex: boards for a song's vibe)

♡ Make new Spotify playlists 

♡ Work on website 

♡ Work on blog 

♡ Bake a sweet treat

♡ Go on a little walk outside ( I do "intuition walks where you just walk around with no destination in mind, just making turns where it feels right)

♡ Organize my room & drawers

♡ Look through old photos  

♡ Water color paint

♡ Draw on Procreate 

♡ Doodle with inspo from Pinterest

♡ Crochet

♡ Color in a simple coloring book

♡ Playing video games with friends

♡ Build dream home in Minecraft 

♡ Watch tv shows or a movie

♡ Listen to a podcast

♡ Plan out outfits ( can try them on or take pics of them and add them into a note on phone)

♡ Clean out phone (empty out emails, clear all histories, get rid of any pictures not needed anymore, find a new wallpaper, rearrange apps)

♡ Re-arrange room

♡ Make jewelry - beading

♡ Go through old stuff of mine and find new joy in it

♡ Watch YouTube (even re-watch old YouTube videos)

♡ Make new goals

♡ Read through magazines and make collages from the pics

♡ Try new hairstyles or makeup looks

♡ Go on photowalks ( walk around and take pics of things that are beautiful - great way to romanticize life)

How to start your day on a positive note:

- drink your water as soon as you wake up and take any vitamins/medicines so avoid forgetting them

- i find that sitting up or propping myself up helps me not to fall back asleep in the mornings and stay productive

- set a list of realistic goal or expectations for the day - don’t push yourself - i use MinimaList and i love it

- open your shades and let natural light into the room

- surround yourself with positive energy whether that be reading a book, or watching a youtube video that grounds you

- meditation always helps to centre myself for the day or yoga and stretching

- fuel your body - if your like me and don’t like eating in the mornings try a smoothie or yogurt

- get some fresh air - whether that’s opening a window, drinking your coffee outside or going for a walk

- deal with any small tasks in the morning to help deal with the workload and focus on longer tasks

- do your skincare routine and brush your teeth - keep clean !

- pick an outfit you feel comfortable and happy in and that makes you feel your best

- take deep breaths and practice steady breathing

- be kind to yourself mentally and physically your body is doing so many amazing things nurture it

thanks for reading <3
