The Secret to Reinventing Yourselfš¤āØ
It Starts In Your Mind.
āØYour Affirmation of the WeekāØ
āI am already becoming the best version of myself. I align myself and my actions with her every single day.ā
Hey girlš
Have you ever decided to change your lifeālike, for real this time? Maybe you went all in on a new routine, revamped your wardrobe, or started that glow-up era with full force⦠only to feel like nothing actually changed.
At first, you were very motivated. You woke up early, went to the gym, and did the whole āhot girlā morning routine. But then, life happened. You hit snooze once⦠then twice. Skipped a workout. Slipped back into old habits. And before you knew it, you were right back where you started.
Why? Because you never changed the way you saw yourself.
You can switch up your habits, but if deep down you still believe youāre āthe girl who always gives upā or āthe one who never follows through,ā your actions will always default back to that identity.
Reinvention starts in your mind. Before you can become the new you, you have to detach from the old you. And if you want to become unrecognizable by summer, itās time to start thinking differently.
Because if you wish to achieve something youāve never had, you have to do something you have never done. (or something like that. I wish I could give credit to whoever first said this, but I definitely recommend keeping this quote in mind.)
Hereās how. ā¬ļø
š” Step 1: Rewire Your Self-Concept
Do you want the fastest way to transform your life? Answer: Change how you see yourself.
⢠If you still identify as āthe girl who always procrastinatesā or āthe one who never follows through,ā your actions will match that identity.
⢠Instead, start embodying the energy of the woman who already has the life you want. Ask yourself: How does she think? What choices does she make daily?
⢠You donāt become confident, disciplined, or successful overnight. You decide who you are, and then you act accordingly.
š” Step 2: Detach from the Old Version of You
If youāre serious about reinvention, you have to stop holding onto outdated beliefs, habits, and even relationships that keep you stuck. What does this mean, you may ask?
⢠The version of you who overthinks, settles, and stays in her comfort zone? She served her purpose, but itās time to move on.
⢠You donāt have to āfixā her. You simply have to stop identifying with her.
⢠The next time you catch yourself saying, āUgh, I always do thisā or āIām just not that type of personā, pause and ask: Who told me that? And do I actually have to keep believing it? Surprise, surprise, the answer is NO.
š” Step 3: Romanticize the Reinvention Process
Reinvention isnāt about waking up one day as a completely new personāitās about falling in love with the process of becoming the best version of yourself, āher.ā
⢠Romanticize the small shifts: drinking more water, moving your body, dressing like the woman you admire.
⢠Treat every little upgrade as proof that youāre already stepping into your next level. Buy yourself gifts to celebrate your growth. Not only does this make you feel good (which is so important in this process), but it also lets the universe know that you are worthy of good things.
⢠Remember: You donāt have to wait until you achieve that goal or buy something in order to feel like āthat girl.ā Start embodying her now. What she thinks, what she wears, what she listens toā¦.etc. And no, this is not the same thing as āfaking till you make itā; this is you embodying your dream self, you are her. Right now. So, start acting like it.
This Weekās Homework š
Growth doesnāt just happenāyou have to be intentional about it and put in the effort. Here is what you can do this week to get yourself one step closer.
1ļøā£ Journal prompt: Who is the version of me Iām stepping into? What does she do differently than I do now?
2ļøā£ Action step: Identify one habit, mindset, or belief from the old you that youāre ready to leave behindāand actively stop engaging with it.
Yes, in the beginning, it may be hard, and you may catch yourself going back into that old mindset or belief or that habit that you are so used to, but you have to keep going. Be consistent and stay persistent.
(Reply and tell me which habit, mindset, or belief you are committed to leaving behind, and I will be your accountability buddyāI love hearing about your glow-up journey!)
