What Does It Mean To Live Deliciously?
“Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” – The VVitch
You may be familiar with this quote, especially if you are a horror fan.The VVitch was released in October 2015 and was a snapshot into the life of a Puritan village when this country was being settled and the fear of witches was still present. But we aren’t here to do a movie review or do a post on witchcraft or being a witch, but the idea of manifesting joy and passion in your life could sound like casting a spell. Instead I want to focus on what it means to live life deliciously. The movie may have a focus on witchcraft but the concept of living life deliciously is something that we all can do. And if that helps create the mystery around it, why not add a little ritual?
“Living deliciously” is a philosophy that encourages you to savor every aspect of life. Imagine experiencing life with heightened senses, where simple pleasures burst with vibrancy. This concept, often phrased as “living deliciously?” has gained traction, but what does it truly mean? Forget about having it all together! A truly fulfilling life embraces the imperfections, the “messy” bits, that make us who we are. After all, the most delicious meals often leave behind a few crumbs and a touch of melted cheese, wouldn’t you agree? This concept is key to living your best life by finding joy and fulfillment by embracing the authentic you, imperfections and all.
Ditch the Should’s and Embrace the Delicious!
Do you feel stuck in a cycle of daily grind, yearning for a life bursting with joy and fulfillment? You’re not alone. Societal expectations can often push us towards paths that leave us feeling uninspired and unfulfilled. But what if there was another way? How do you start shedding societal pressures to discover your authentic self and cultivate a life brimming with delight? Afterall, we all yearn to break free from limiting expectations and design a life that feels truly delicious- a life overflowing with purpose, passion, and endless joy.
But what are societal expectations?
Societal expectations often come disguised as “shoulds” – things we feel pressured to do to fit in. But living a delicious life is all about breaking free from those limitations and embracing your authentic self. Instead of chasing external validation, focus on what truly lights you up! This might involve saying “no” to draining activities, setting boundaries that honor your needs, and prioritizing experiences that spark joy and fulfillment. Remember, your delicious life is uniquely yours, design it with your passions and values at the forefront.
Looking back at “The VVitch,” we see a family whose lives have been so fully ruled by the church and when the father questions their decision, they are forced out of the village and to the wilderness, on their own. It’s a scary thought, breaking from a tradition to find your own path. But that is a movie and can’t point to actual life, can it?
The truth is, from the day of our birth we are given a set ways of how things work and how we are to act. Throughout childhood, we are given lessons to show how those things are applied to daily life. We are taught to put ourselves last and the needs of others first. That to be proud of your accomplishments is a bad thing. And that enjoying the pleasures of life is equal to sinful. Most of us never question why this is or who made those rules.
Isn’t it time that we listen to ourselves and what we need?
Delicious Living: Cultivating Everyday Practices of Joy
Ditch the mundane and embrace the magical! Delicious living isn’t just reserved for special occasions; it’s about weaving joy into the fabric of your everyday life. Imagine starting your day with a mindful meditation session, savoring the quiet hum of peace before the world wakes. Throughout the day, sprinkle in moments of delight; a phone call to a cherished friend, a spontaneous dance party in your kitchen to your favorite tunes, or getting lost in a captivating book during your lunch break. Let your senses be your guide! Savor a cup of steaming tea, inhaling the invigorating aroma, or take a walk amidst nature, feeling the sun on your skin and the crisp breeze caress your face.
Cultivate your inner artist! Unleash your creativity by writing a poem, singing a song in the shower (even if it’s off-key!), or taking up a new hobby that sparks your curiosity. Maybe it’s learning a new language, taking up photography, or trying your hand at pottery. Delicious living is an ongoing adventure, so grab your metaphorical spoon and start savoring the everyday magic! Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to joy. Experiment, explore, and discover what makes your heart sing. Let your delicious life be a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of mindfulness, gratitude, movement, and creativity. Embrace the present moment, find the joy in the simple things, and watch your life transform into a delectable masterpiece.
We hear a lot about the concept of “Mindfulness” and it fits perfectly in the Living Deliciously mindset. Expressing gratitude is a potent recipe for joy. Try jotting down three things you’re thankful for each morning, or write heartfelt thank-you notes to those who brighten your world. Then, when times are a little more difficult, pull out those lists and go over them as a reminder of how sweet life can be.

Let’s embark on this empowering journey together and create a life that’s as vibrant and delicious as you are!
- Savor the Everyday: Don’t wait for special occasions to experience joy. Cultivate a practice of mindfulness and find delight in the simple things, a steaming cup of coffee, a walk in nature, or a spontaneous dance party in your kitchen.
- Embrace Your Inner Artist: Unleash your creativity! Write, sing, paint, or explore a new hobby that sparks your curiosity. Living deliciously is an ongoing adventure, so find ways to express yourself and keep the spark alive.
- Move Your Body, Boost Your Mood: Physical movement is a potent mood-booster. Stretch with yoga, go for a walk, hit the dance floor, or simply twirl around your living room. Getting your body moving releases endorphins, leaving you feeling energized and happy.
- Gratitude is the Secret Sauce: Appreciation is a powerful tool for cultivating joy. I am reminded of a conversation I had with my boyfriend. It was a hard week where my knee was really bugging me after a hard run, I was feeling down about my health and other family issues. He told me to make a list to compare things today to where I was 3, 5 or 10 years ago.. He said to compare things like my career, overall health, and things I had done versus what I wanted to do. This would give me a real time look at how well my life is after taking a focused approach on me. Focusing on gratitude shifts your perspective and enhances your overall well-being.
- Unleash Your Inner Power: Break free from limiting beliefs and societal expectations that hold you back. Embrace your authentic self, set boundaries, and prioritize activities that ignite your passions. Living deliciously is about taking control of your life and creating experiences that leave you feeling fulfilled.
