You know what I love? When a show doesn’t drop the entire season at once. Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy a good binge as much as the next person, but there’s something magical about knowing an episode is coming next week and looking forward to it.
Right now, I’m counting down the days until Bridgerton graces my screen again, along with a new season of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict is irresistible as Sherlock – I’m SHER locked).
It’s like a little treat waiting for me, a guaranteed moment of joy in a week that might otherwise feel like an endless to-do list.
And honestly, shouldn’t we have more of those in life?
I have a friend who actually plans her joy. Like, she keeps a “looking forward to” list in her planner. (Yes, I’m stealing this idea.) It’s not just the big, exciting things – vacations, birthdays, or finally getting that promotion. It’s the small, everyday things, too.
That first sip of coffee in the morning. A long walk while listening to a podcast. A solo trip to a bookstore where no one rushes you. Or the release of the book you’ve been waiting for for months.
It’s genius. Because let’s be real – when life is packed with responsibilities, obligations, and other people’s needs, it’s easy to go into autopilot and forget that your life should have things you’re excited about, too.
So consider this your permission slip (or a lovingly dramatic Bridgerton-style fan swoon) to create things to look forward to.
They don’t have to be complicated. Or BIG. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
✅ Booking a coffee date with yourself – just you, your favorite drink, and no distractions.
✅ Binge-watching Bridgerton in your coziest pajamas because, let’s face it, self-care can look like regency drama and tea.
✅ Scheduling a night where you pick the dinner and you don’t have to cook it. (Revolutionary, I know.)
✅ Giving yourself an hour to do something you love just because – reading, dancing in your kitchen, or taking an extra-long shower without rush.
The point?
Life isn’t just about checking off tasks and surviving the week.
It’s about living it, really living it. And that starts with making sure there’s something in your day, your week, and your month that actually lights you up.
So tell me – what’s something you’re looking forward to?
The photo is something I’m looking forward – a cheese plate with a glass of white wine.
If making yourself a priority feels impossible, that’s where I come in. You don’t have to figure it out alone. 😉
