What Do You Desire to Indulge In?
Since I started Crazy Blonde Life so many years ago, my tagline has been “A Daily Indulgence”. Today, for some reason, I decided to look up the meaning of indulgence…
Indulgence - The practice of allowing enjoyment of whatever is desired
You can indulge in anything! You can indulge in bad food, you can indulge in Netflix, you can indulge in literally anything you want!
After I looked up indulgence, I looked up quality and was surprised at how many definitions of quality there are, but the one I was looking for was…
Quality - A degree of excellence
From where I’m standing, quality and indulgence should go hand in hand. Do you want a life of quality and can you indulge in quality.
Quality can exist in the most simple situations. You can’t really compare sleeping in a luxury hotel with sleeping under the stars on a beautiful night, but they’re both quality experiences. You can’t compare eating in a 5 star restaurant to eating a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie straight from your oven, but they’re both quality experiences. What do you want to indulge in? What do you desire in your life…? Do you desire quality in your indulgences?
Do you feel that desiring something whether you indulge or not makes you ungrateful for what you have?
I personally believe that living a life of gratitude for what you have while still desiring more is a magical state of being.
I don’t know exactly what I want in my life, but I have realized as the years have gone by that I want to use the platforms that I’ve grown (including this blog) to help women live a life that they love and are creating on purpose. Quality to me is living a life that feels good, a life with possibilities for more while at the same time, being grateful for what I have and what I’ve created.
Quality experiences, friendships, conversation, clothing and food are things that are indulgent essentials as far as I’m concerned. The quality of your life equals the quality of what you decide to indulge in. So…if indulgence means indulging in the enjoyment of what is desired…desire needs to be considered before the indulgence happens. I believe we all desire a beautiful life and I also believe we should indulge accordingly.
Choose your indulgences wisely and the quality of your life will follow!
When it comes to fashion, I have realized that investing in a few great quality pieces each season is the key to building a wardrobe that will stand the test of time. The pants I’m wearing are by Ulla Johnson - the cut of these is almost exactly the same but they’re not offered in green this season. Ulla offers them every season in a slightly different look. I bought these pants three seasons ago and still love them so much. My Ark Bag from Cult Gaia is also three years old and it is my go-to summer bag and looks amazing with everything. The shoes and blouse were purchased this year and I know they will be worn many times!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this post…I really enjoyed thinking about indulgence, desire and quality and they all should interact with each other…It was a fun post to write! I still consider my blog posts a daily indulgence for those who read them and I hope you do as well!
Living a quality life has become my passion. Mindset is my top priority and really has everything to do with how I live each day. If you feel this same passion, but are struggling with making it happen…you will love my 30-day Journey of Becoming program. In Journey of Becoming, we take subjects like this one and dive more deeply into what it takes to create a mindset that allows for a life of quality! Change your mind…change your life. It’s not simple, but it’s definitely worth it!
Have a great weekend and I look forward to writing your next “daily indulgence”.
