How to start loving life again

On July 18, 2022 by margheviviani

Have you ever felt as if you are living your life for others? As if all the choices and decisions you make are only to make others happy. Or simply there are so many voices in your head, that you lost your own. I’ve been there. I know exactly what is it, but until you live this kind of life you think that all you are doing is correct, and is actually what you want. Until you don’t experience what I experienced one day. That day I felt free of any voices of my parents or teachers or books/courses, I felt like I have found myself just as I am. And I realized that the guy I was dating, was only because my parents liked him, but I didn’t, and the job condition I was accepting until that moment was only destroying my physical and mental health. So here I would like to share a few tricks on how to take your life into your hands, start living it fully, and finally love your life.

I also would like to add, that once you start loving your life then you realize that you start attracting completely different quality people. Everyone will feel how much you are full-filled and happy being yourself and living your own live and they will want to stay close to you. I can say that I have passed all of those steps 🙂 Good luck my friend!

Tips on how to start loving your life again

1. Candle light dinner for 1

Or a lunch doesn’t matter but it must be something special. Either take yourself out to your favorite restaurant or prepare a beautiful dinner at home with candles and some music. Just start with yourself, start treating yourself as a special person. And on that date with yourself, try to live every second with total awareness without thinking but enjoying.

2. Meditate

Here I don’t talk much. Just do it, and you will see the results %100. You can read this post on How to Meditate.

3. Digital detox

I suggest you choose Saturday and Sunday for your digital detox. Just keep your phone and computer off, also no movies and no TV, for one or two entire days. It’s a perfect time to do other things in the house, or just read a book, take care of plants, do sports, cook, or take a bath. or maybe spending time with your loved ones, but without checking your phone all the time. Keep everything off or forget it at home 🙂

4. Silent retreat

Another thing to put on your list. You can find plenty of silent retreats or meditations to do, they are also called Vipassana. (Let me know if you want me to prepare for you a list of Silence retreats.) Or you can organize one on your own at home, or outside. The main trick here, as I already said that words many times, is to be aware and conscious of your thoughts and breath. Try to find that silence within yourself, firstly by switching off all the distracting sounds and your speech, then try to find silence in your mind. You can also keep doing the things you are used to doing, but be silent. And spend at least one day like this observing your thoughts and breath.

5. Hit the road alone

Organize a trip just on your own. Either go to another city or state or even think of something bigger. Like a trip to Bali 😉 I’ve been traveling alone for many years before I met my husband. It has a special effect: you become much more aware of yourself and the world around you. As you have time just with yourself, and It wouldn’t be boring, you are traveling. There are so many things you would never notice being in the company. Even now, I miss those moments of lonely trips. It’s just a special experience if you start with a clean head without expecting anything.

You can also go for Yoga Retreat just on your own and meet new people. I have one post here with the Best Yoga retreats in Italy to do in 2022.

6. Go wild

Did you see the movie Wild? If not, go to watch it 🙂 To go wild I don’t mean literally, but depends on how much you are ready. At least stay closer to nature. It can be camping in a wild place, or simply a picnic in the forest or at the beach. But remember to keep that wildness inside, I know everyone loves comfort but to find your inner cave human is also important. After all, we all come from there.

7. Embrace fear

Try to remember that is ok to be scared. Either talking to someone, changing your job, or taking a flight. I don’t think many people aren’t scared of anything. Fear is a healthy reaction of our mind and body, thanks to fear we can do the next step. The problem is when your fear takes control of you. But just keep in mind: “Is ok to be scared”.

8. Live your favourite day

Write down in your notebook what you love to do the most, and what makes you happy when you do it. And start by planning one day as you would like and let your notes help you. Then you might start living your favorite day every day 🙂

9. Make time for pleasure

This is one of the goals of Yoga and Ayurveda called “The Kama” – from Sanskrit means “pleasure, enjoyment, satisfaction or recreation, entertainment”. You all have heard about Kamasutra, right? Which means “law of the pleasure”. But is not the main point here because Ayurveda and Yoga recommend moderation when it comes to the pursuit of sensory pleasure. While it is beneficial to experience the positive influences of art and nature, over-indulging the senses can lead to addiction, frustration, and disease.

Here we are. All of these steps helped me to find my inner self and to start loving my life again. I hope this post was useful for you. I would be happy to hear back from you. You can leave your comment below or follow my Instagram to stay in touch!

With Love,
