Three Ways To Live A More Thoughtful Life

LifestyleCandy Washington1 Comment

Hi lovelies,

As you all know, I love sharing ways to live happier, healthier, and more joyful life, from fun ways to practice self-care to how to let your inner beauty shine by shaking up your wardrobe and beauty routines. 

For this week's Top 3, I wanted to share with you three easy and fun ways to live a more thoughtful life. From giving gifts and celebrating every day moments to seeking out new music and getting radical in your gratitude. 

Check them out below and let me know if you have additional ways to live a more thoughtful life and don't forget to share this post if you found it of value!

#1: Give the gift of Thoughtfully

One thing that I truly believe in is celebrating life and our every day triumphs. There's no need to wait for a big occasion to celebrate but being present and happy on our journey is what really matters. Giving gifts to other and learning to celebrate your self is the perfect way to live a more thoughtful life. 

That's why I'm huge fan of Thoughtfully, an innovative brand that offers an impressive array of creative and curated gift sets. One of my favorite gift sets from them is The “Champagne Boss” gift set which sells for $99.99 and is the perfect way to celebrate being a girlboss with your family or friends. 

It's the perfect set to treat your self with or gift to your sister, bestie, mom, boss, or anyone that wants to celebrate life in a sparkly way!

#2: Discover new talent with Elisia Savoca

Another way to live a more thoughtful life is to break outside of your box and seek out new music and up-and-coming talent. That's why I wanted to share one of my favorite new breakout indie pop stars is Elisia Savoca. She a star quickly on the rise and is a Sand Diego native that seems to be wise beyond her years. 

Elisia's been humbled compared to Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse for her hypnotic melodies and haunting voice. But you can check out the 17-year old songstress for yourself and listen to her songs below. 


#3: Keep a gratitude journal

Hands down, the single best way that I've been able to live a more present, thoughtful, and introspective life is by keeping a gratitude journal. One of my favorite stationery brands is Hadron Epoch

I write down things, people, and events that I'm grateful for, both big and small, and it automatically makes me feel lighter, happier, and inspired. It's hard to be sad or down when you reflect on all of the beautiful things in your life that you have to be grateful for and celebrate.

Pro tip: Practice radical gratitude. I now make two lists of what I'm grateful for in my life. The first list is for things that have already happened and the second list is for the things that I want to happen and see come to fruition in my life. The trick is to be grateful for them as if they have already come to pass even if they haven't yet.
