Life is so hard for a Millennial or Gen Z to get their life started. The old playbook doesn’t work anymore and the life your parents had is gone. We live in a world where opportunity and fairness don't exist. Terminology and aesthetics are the leaders in the social media world and in real life. The Delulu lifestyle is perfect for modern adulthood, while still being able to be smart about finances. The high cost of living, inflation, low wages, poor job market and government red tape make it extremely difficult for adults to function. Escaping into a delusional state of living to cope with a new society can be liberating. When you live in delusion, you embrace your fantasies, desires, and dreams while bringing a touch of imagination to your everyday life. This is escapism and you can live in the real world at the same time. There is nothing wrong with choosing life as an alternative lifestyle. 

1. Mindset & Attitude

   - Adopt a Dreamy Mindset: Start each day by affirming your wildest dreams as if they are already true. This could be anything from imagining you’re a famous fashion designer to believing you’re living in your dream home.

   - Be Unapologetically Positive:  Maintain a positive attitude regardless of reality. Use phrases like “I’m living my best life” or “Everything is working out for me” to keep the vibe high.

   - Confidence in Abundance: Act with the confidence of someone who has it all. Even if you don’t, believe that it’s all on its way.

2. Daily Habits & Routines

   - Visualize Your Ideal Life: Spend a few minutes each day visualizing your dream life in detail. Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with?

   - Affirmations & Manifestation: Use daily affirmations to reinforce your delulu mindset. Write them down, say them aloud, and truly believe in them.

   - Live Out Your Fantasies in Small Ways: Dress as if you’re meeting important people, speak as though you’re already successful, and act with the elegance or confidence that you envision for yourself.

3. Lifestyle Choices

   - Curate Your Surroundings: Surround yourself with things that inspire your fantasies. Decorate your space to reflect the life you envision—this could mean adding luxurious touches, whimsical decor, or vision boards.

   - Selective Content Consumption: Watch movies, read books, and follow social media accounts that feed your delusions and make you feel closer to your ideal life.

   - Elevate the Everyday:  Treat everyday moments as special occasions. Have a fancy breakfast, wear your favorite outfit just because, or create a spa day at home.

4. Relationships & Social Life

   - Surround Yourself with Support: Engage with friends who either share your “delulu” tendencies or support you in your dreams. Avoid negative or overly pragmatic people who might bring you down.

   - Romanticize Your Interactions: Treat every social interaction like it’s a scene from a movie. Be charming, mysterious, and captivating.

5. Plans & Goals 

   - Set Wild Goals: Create goals that may seem unrealistic but excite you. The act of aiming high can bring more excitement and passion into your life.

   - Daily Steps Towards Your Fantasy:  Break down your grand dreams into daily, achievable steps. Even if they seem small or symbolic, every action should feel like a move towards your fantasy life.

6. Self-Care

   - Luxury Self-Care Rituals: Indulge in self-care as if you’re already living in luxury. This can mean anything from elaborate skincare routines to treating yourself to little luxuries, like a special dessert or a bubble bath.

   - Mental Wellness: Practice mindfulness and meditation to keep your mind aligned with your dreams. Consider journaling as a way to process your feelings and keep your fantasies alive on paper.

7. Handling Reality

   - Balance with Reality Checks: While being "delulu" is fun, it’s important to stay grounded in some aspects. Schedule reality checks where you reassess your goals and make sure you’re not neglecting important responsibilities.

   - Use Delusions as Motivation: Let your delusions drive you to work harder or smarter in real life. They should inspire action, not just daydreaming.

Conclusion

Living as a "delulu girl" is about letting your fantasies run wild your everyday life while maintaining a delicate balance with reality. It’s about believing that your wildest dreams are possible and allowing that belief to guide your actions, decisions, and mindset. By incorporating these tips and lifestyle choices, you can enjoy the benefits of living in your own little world while still moving forward in the real one.
