Welcome to the Soul Renovation Podcast! I am Add-a-line Atlas, the author of the School of Soul Series, a six-time published author, master manifestor, and your cheerleader bestie on the internet! I'm here to help you live the life you know you deserve! In today’s episode, we’re diving into the habit of saving things for a special occasion and why we should embrace the present instead. Let’s explore how using and enjoying our special items now can enhance our daily lives. Let's get started!

Many of us have a habit of storing away special items for that elusive ‘someday.’ We buy beautiful clothes, fancy dishes, or lovely stationery, and instead of using them, we store them, waiting for a special occasion that often never comes. This mindset delays joy and pleasure, placing value on the future at the expense of the present.

Think about it: waking up in the morning is a special occasion. Each day is a gift, akin to winning the lottery. We should treat every day as special enough to use our ‘special things.’ The yoga pants that make you feel fantastic, the beautiful dishes that make meals more enjoyable, the elegant stationery that inspires you to write—all of these items are meant to be used and loved now.

By changing our mindset and using our special items today, we add a touch of joy to our everyday lives. It transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. The stories we create with our items are far more valuable than the items themselves. Each time you wear those special clothes or use the fancy dishes, you create new memories and enrich your daily experiences.

Moreover, using our special items is a form of self-care. It’s a way of treating ourselves with love and respect, recognizing that we are worth enjoying the good things we have. It’s about acknowledging our own value and celebrating it every day. By embracing the present and using our cherished items now, we enhance our lives in meaningful ways.

Consider the common scenario where we save things like fancy dishes or beautiful clothes for a special event. However, the reality is that every day we wake up is special. We don’t need a particular event to enjoy the nice things we have. Life is unpredictable, and waiting for a future moment to enjoy our possessions can mean missing out on the pleasure they bring.

Instead of storing away those items, start using them now. Wear the yoga pants that make you feel confident, use the fine china for a regular dinner, or write a heartfelt note on that beautiful stationery. By doing this, you elevate your daily experiences and create a life filled with moments of joy and appreciation.

Practical Steps to Embrace the Present

1. Wear Your Special Clothes: Choose one item from your wardrobe that you’ve been saving for a special occasion and wear it today. Notice how it makes you feel and enjoy the confidence it brings.
2. Use Your Fine China: Set the table with your best dishes for your next meal. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple dinner; the act of using your fine china can make the meal feel special.
3. Write a Note: Take out that beautiful stationery and write a note to a friend or family member. Express your gratitude or share a positive message. The joy it brings to you and the recipient will be worth it.
4. Create Special Moments Daily: Look for opportunities to create special moments every day. Whether it’s lighting a candle during dinner, taking an extra moment to enjoy your coffee, or playing your favorite music while you work, these small acts can make each day feel unique.

Shift Your Mindset: Remind yourself daily that today is a special occasion simply because you woke up to another day. Embrace the idea that life itself is a celebration.
