You probably remember, as a child you often experienced the world around you as magical. Vacations often seemed endless and every day there was something new to discover. As a child, you naturally lived much more in the now than most adults. Mindfulness and an unbiased outlook were natural. Moreover, play and imagination were an important part of your life. As adults, we've often lost this ability, and that's a shame. In this blog, we are going to explain why that is, as well as what you can do to regain that ability. Read on quickly and add magic back into your life!
How do you stop your autopilot?
In the world of adulthood, we often do things on autopilot. It is quite possible that this causes us to miss the magical moments of life. This is because of the way our brains work and deal with routine and habits.
The Brain and Routine
Our brains are designed to work efficiently. This means that it often automates routine tasks to save energy for more complex tasks. When we are on autopilot at the beginning of the week, the following happens:
Loss of Consciousness: We may miss details and subtleties because we are not consciously present in the moment.
Loss of Creativity: Routine can limit our creative abilities because we are not challenged to come up with new solutions or explore new perspectives.
Fewer New Memories: Through repetition and routine, we form fewer new and unique memories, so time seems to pass more quickly and days seem to melt together. As a result, the magic disappears from your life.
Having Your Life in Order, Necessary or Not?
In the following, we provide some practical tools and tips to add more magic to your life. You may now be thinking, “That sounds good, but first I need to get my life in order before I can get started with this.” Is that really necessary?
Of course, it can help to have all the basic things in your life in order before you start allowing more magic and awareness into your life, because then you will have more mental space and experience less stress, but it is not strictly necessary.
Start where you are now
While it's ideal to have the basics in order, it's important to realize that you don't have to wait until everything is perfect to start allowing more magic into your life. Here are some ways you can start now, regardless of your situation:
Small Steps: Start with small changes and activities. This can be as simple as doing a few minutes of mindfulness exercises daily or taking a short walk in nature.
Gratitude: Practice gratitude for the things that are already going well in your life, no matter how small. This will help you see and appreciate more positive moments.
Moments of Reflection: Take a few minutes daily to reflect on your day. This can help you become more aware of magical moments even when your life is hectic.
Creativity and Imagination: Use your imagination and creativity to bring magic into your daily routine. This can be done through art, music, writing, or simply by looking at your surroundings differently.
Practical Tips to Add More Magic to Your Life
Allowing more magic into your life can be done in different ways, depending on what magic means to you personally. Here are some suggestions that can help you experience more magic and wonder in your daily life:
Connect with your Inner Child: Remind yourself of the things that made you happy as a child and try doing those activities again. Children often see the world with a sense of wonder that adults often lose.
Be Open to New Experiences: Try new things, travel to unfamiliar places, or learn a new skill. By exposing yourself to new experiences, you expand your horizons and discover the magic of the unknown.
Practice Gratitude: Dwell on the things for which you are grateful. This helps you see the beauty and magic in the everyday. Keeping a gratitude journal can help with this.
Connect with Nature: Spend time in nature. Whether it's a walk in the park, a hike in the mountains, or just an afternoon in your garden or in the woods, nature is full of wonders and subtle energies that you can experience and discover.
Use Your Creativity and Imagination: Let your imagination run wild. Read books, watch movies, go to theater for inspiration. Learn to draw or paint or write your own stories. Imagination can be a powerful source of magic. Making your own music and learning to play a musical instrument is also a good way to explore your creativity.
Meditate and Practice Mindfulness: Meditating and mindfulness exercises can help you live more in the moment and thus notice the small, magical details of life.
Follow Your Passions: Do things you are truly passionate about. Passion and enthusiasm can bring a sense of magic and fulfillment to your life.
Find Meaningful Connections: Spend time with people who inspire and energize you. Deep, meaningful connections can be a source of magic and energy.
Practice Self Reflection: Take time to reflect on your life, your dreams, and what is truly important to you. Self-reflection can help you see the magic in your own journey through this life. And in doing so, learn to trust your intuition and follow your heart. Sometimes the most magical moments can happen when we let our inner knowing guide us.
Be Open to the Unknown: Leave room for mystery and the unknown in your life. Not everything always needs to be explained; sometimes it is beautiful to just enjoy the mystery.
Do Kind Deeds without demanding anything in return: Small acts of kindness, whether for strangers, friends or family, can create magical moments for both you and the recipient.
Finally, consuming less news can also help: It is important to stay informed about important events, but it is also essential to find a balance and surround yourself with positive influences that refresh your mind and nourish your soul. Reducing the amount of news you consume can have a positive impact on your overall well-being and help you experience more magic and joy in your life. Moreover, it also leaves you with more time for positive and inspiring resources such as books, movies, music, and activities that bring you joy and wonder.
