“Soft life” isn’t just aesthetics and luxury — it’s about peace, ease, and intentional living. In the middle of Lagos traffic, school stress, or adulting wahala, you deserve a little softness too. it’s also about inner peace and spiritual growth. These 8 habits will help you live better, glow deeper, and stress less — without needing a yacht or Dubai trip (for now 😅).
1. Romanticize Your Day-to-Day Life
Light that scented candle. Drink your tea in a cute mug. Play music while doing chores. It’s the little things that turn ordinary days into main character moments.
2. Have a Weekly Self-Care Routine
Pick a day (like Sunday) to deep condition your hair, do a face mask, exfoliate, journal, and just pour into yourself. Let your glow-up be intentional.
3. Curate Your Social Media
Follow pages that inspire peace, joy, and motivation. Mute or unfollow anything that makes you feel drained or “not enough.” Protect your energy online too.
4. Get Enough Sleep (No More Midnight Doom Scrolling 😅)
You’re not a machine. Your body needs rest to function, glow, and stay sharp. Even Beyoncé sleeps. Try for 7–8 hours if you can, and maybe set a “sleep alarm.”
5. Budget for Little Luxuries
Soft life doesn’t mean reckless spending. But budgeting ₦2k–₦5k monthly for something small (a new scarf, nail polish, perfume oil) adds joy without guilt.
6. Practice Saying “No” Without Explaining Yourself
Not every invite is for you. Not every favor needs a yes. Saying “no” with grace is a soft life skill every babe should master. You’re not being rude — you’re protecting your peace.
7. Start a Simple Glow Journal
Write down three things:
- One thing you’re grateful for
- One thing you’re proud of
- One thing you’re working on
This builds confidence and helps you stay grounded and glowing, inside-out.
8. Spend Time in God’s Word
Soft life isn’t just about candles and skincare — Taking time to study the Bible, pray, and just be still before God can ground you in a way nothing else can.
Whether it’s reading a daily verse, listening to worship music, or journaling your prayers, that connection with God is a glow like no other.
“Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” – Psalm 34:5 ✨
Conclusion:
The soft life isn’t far — it starts with small habits, big energy, and a heart open to God’s peace. You don’t have to wait till you have it all together. Just start showing up for yourself — and for God — one day at a time.
