This Is The 5 Star Experience You Need

VIP Spa Pedicure

Reading this post is already a wonderful luxury. If you take some to notice everything you have done thus far, I am sure that there are many things you can find in your day that is luxurious , but you may not see it that way. Here is an example of a luxurious day that I am having so far:

• Waking up healthy, with all body parts and organs working

• Spending time in prayer and talking with God

• Showered, brushed my teeth, flossed, applied body butter, deodorant, and perfume

• Having clothes to put on, undergarments, and a hat

• Taking an hour walk, feeling and enjoying the breeze and trees

• Meeting other walkers that made me smile by saying “Good Morning” and “Keep It Up”

• Talking to my best friend and enjoying laughter with our jokes

• Making a peanut butter banana smoothie (so good!)

• Going to my dentist appointment for cleaning (teeth feel amazing)

• Spending time with my mother in Starbucks while I write this post (super luxury)

• Enjoying an iced coffee that I received for free because of this amazing barista

• Enjoyed a warm crispy chocolate croissant

• Receiving a message from a new subscriber who shared that my content gives her hope 🥹

• Getting a skin analysis from an esthetician to decide what facial I should try

• Using all senses- sight, hearing, taste, feel and smell

• The ability to inspire

The day is not even over as it is only 2:29 p.m at the time of me writing this, and there are so many luxuries I have experienced, with no mention of a Rolls Royce in sight! I do believe that when you work hard, you deserve to do what makes you happy, however I also believe you can have a fabulous day with what you have, its just in how you choose to view it.

Luxury is defined as: the state of great comfort and extravagant living, something that is expensive or difficult to obtain. Most people will directly think about a designer bag, 5 star vacations, cars, jewelry and etc. These are all things that can easily be discarded, but you know what can’t- YOU! I use to work for a luxury company where we sold Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermès and more. What the clients were paying for, was yes the style, but also the quality of the item. Some clients really bought into the story in addition to the status. A thought is, what is your story, and what will you buy into? The perfect place to start is your belief system, as well as reframing how you are looking at your current situation. I do believe that prayer adds a huge sense of relief, but requires consistency. Things may or may not be a challenge right now, but what I know for sure is that we ALL will experience pain, loss, and discomfort. I have learned that the outcome of a great day starts with the income of a great mind. You need to believe that you are luxury, and soon you will see how life rewards you with exactly what you say and do.

There is no big moment that will guarantee a great life, its in the simple pleasures and the people included that tailors your experience. That is exactly what we need to do, tailor the day we have by being intentional, and mindful of what our capacity is at the moment. Lately, I have witnessed that productivity looks different everyday. Some days its rest, or watching a show, cleaning, working, cooking, exercising, spending time with loved ones, crying, writing, and etc. This could be all in one day, one at a time, or nothing at all, and that’s OK. I have been pushing to complete at least one task, even if its just praying and making my bed.

Being mindful is also the secret recipe to feeling and being in luxury. I am not always in that space as I sometimes overthink, get anxious and sometimes stress. Even in those moments, I try to make an effort, regardless on how small it is. I encourage you to do the same, everyday you wake up is another chance to try again.

I would advise that when you are in a good mental space, to create an itinerary of simple things that you can do to make your day softer. What helps me is planning the night before on all the things I would like to do, using my planner, and writing everything I did accomplish down. You will be amazed and impressed with how full some of your days look! Here are some ideas to create your luxury day ( you may already do this and if so, amazing!)

• Sleeping and waking up earlier

• Flossing your teeth

• Listening to something positive in the morning ( I love listening to faith based content)

• Wearing a really beautiful fragrance, body butter, or body spray

• Taking a walk, run, or stretching

• Praying, reading devotionals, or your bible

• Catching up with loved ones

• Journaling

• Grooming ( mani, spa pedicure, washing hair, face mask etc)

• Visualizing what your ideal life looks like

• Breathing exercises and so much more

These are just a few, but can be used as a start in addition to adding whatever you feel add to an amazing day. Life is so beautiful, but the days are going by fast. Give yourself time to make these moments a habit. I am so confident that you will not only experience happiness, but deep joy.
