5 Ways to Find Magic in Your Everyday Life

In This Article:

Growing up, it's easy for children to believe in the magical mechanics of our world. It's common for a young child to believe in monsters, faeries and goblins. While, it may be difficult to spot a faerie, the magical feeling and appreciation of our world can still manifest.

1. Practice daily gratitude .

This may seem basic but it's difficult to forge a magical view of the world if the very things that make it magical are taken for granted. Magic is found in the miracles of life, the things that make life worth living. Magic is revered and held scared, just like the special things in our life. Sometimes when we get so caught up in our daily grind we forget what we're living life for. To start discovering magic again, it's a good idea to either take a mental not or jot down on a piece of paper what things you're grateful for in your life.

2. Practice self love.

Whether you believe it or not, you're a magical being. You are a complex being composed of so many atoms working in ways scientists are begging to understand. That in of itself is magical, and then the magic farther manifests when you add the things that really make you: You, the aspirations, the achievements, and the quarks. Magic deserves not only appreciation but love. Sometimes it's difficult to practice self love but it's important in creating a magical experience with everyday life. Ways to practice self love is through personal hygiene, positive affirmations, and treating yourself within reason. When you radiate self love, the Universe is loving right back.

3. Observe nature.

Nature is filled with magical touches, from the birth of a baby animal to the first snowfall. Nature contains miracles both massive and small. These miracles have fancied the hearts of people for centauries. Observing those miracles can be as simple as celebrating the seasons or watching the world from a window. You'll never know what little miracle you'll find happening. You may see bunnies playing or a spider flying by his pants. This small acts of observation can bring joy to your life and a sense of community in your local landscape.

4. Be healthy.

The magic of life is dull when you're feeling sick and down. Being healthy is an important part of adopting a magical lifestyle because then you'll feel better. You are a vessel for magic- magic flourishes when your flourish. So its essential to eat a healthy and full diet, drink plenty of water, and get the appropriate amount of sleep. Feeling good allows you to attract the blessings of life.

5. It's either a lesson or a blessin'.

Sometimes things happen in life that we don't understand or may not appreciate. That's okay, life is not always butterflies or rainbows, but take everything happening either as something to appreciate or a lesson to be learned. Sometimes blessings happen in ways we don't expect, and that's okay! What make's life the most magical is the mystery that undertones it. If we honestly believe good things will happen, we'll change our life from the inside out. Magic begins with your perception of the world.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends.

If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
