To me, being whimsical is finding joy and amusement in everyday life. Searches on Etsy for ‘whimsical jewellery’ and ‘whimsical decor’ were each up by 50% from last year. Expressing my inner whimsical self really reconnects me with my childhood. Not only is reconnecting with your inner whimsical self fun, but it’s also good for your mental health. Being whimsical is about noticing the micro-joys in everyday life instead of waiting for major life milestones in order to feel happy.
