How To Become Your Favourite Person This Year!
It’s two in the morning, and once more you can’t escape the surge of energy inspiring a truly needed life transformation.
From the way you speak, dress and behave, you desire a change that is long-lasting, successful and full of joy.
But more importantly, you desire a change that enables you to express your true, authentic self and find beauty in your unique traits.
It’s time to understand the complexity of your character and become unapologetically you by embracing positive habits.
Nurturing these habits will help you love and appreciate the amazing person you are on a deeper level.
So here are 10 effective ways to essentially become your favourite person this year.
Let’s Dive In :)
Hey Girlie :) Why Not Pin This Post For Later?
#1 Step Out Of The Cage—It’s Open!
Our self-identity is ever-changing, with bits of unique characteristics being added every day.
In essence, this should give us control and make us an authoritative figure over our identities.
Yet, we allow the loud perspective of others to force us into acting or remaining a certain way, trapping us in a cell where the keys dangle freely from our pinkies.
Now you feel caged with an identity of the past and with the personality others gave you.
Your authentic self seems to be deeply hidden, replaced by a counterfeit version of you that doesn’t allow you to truly represent yourself in your thoughts and actions.
Because you are not known to laugh loudly...you don’t.
Because you are not known to dance or sway to the rhythm of a song playing in the store, you don’t.
And because you are not known to say no... you don’t.
It’s not the easiest thing to do, but this year, work on gaining the confidence to be able to step outside the open cage.
#2 Give Your Pockets A Break!
Shhhh…
If you listen keenly, you might hear the high-pitched cries of your pockets and purses begging you to put a stop to your routine beauty purchases.
There’s never an imperfect time to save more money and enhance your overall character.
This can be easily done by learning the same beautifying skills that you’d pay someone else to do for you.
Yes, outsourcing help from professionals is still an amazing way to save time and energy, though it may be expensive.
However, nothing beats that satisfying feeling of not having to rely on others when the job needs to get done.
So here’s your task:
This year, learn to do at least one of these beauty activities yourself:
Lashes
Brows
Nails
Hair & making hair care products
#3 Make Mistakes
Let’s not get too carried away now :)
But to explain further, feel at peace with changing your mind.
It is totally okay and normal to have a different thought process than you did a week ago, especially regarding self-discovery.
This is all part of our development and self-growth, which allows us to discover our true interests.
Nevertheless, we must be smart about our decisions, ensuring that the mistakes made along the way are honourable and not on the extreme side.
So here’s your task:
Take a chance at something you've been thinking about for some time now. Something like:
Dyeing your hair a certain colour
Creating a modelling portfolio
Becoming an opera singer?
Remember, these things do not have to be long-term. It’s about giving yourself a chance to experience something you may or may not like in the end.
#4 Embrace Your Cultural Identity
Learning about our cultural identity is often bittersweet, with knowledge of the past triggering both positive and negative emotions.
On the positive side, embracing our cultural identity can allow us to understand ourselves better and even provide clarity on our upbringing and self-nature.
This is the perfect time to embark on a journey where you learn the language of your parents, grandparents, and ancestors.
Why not experiment with your culture's popular activities, cuisine, and fashion?
So here’s your task:
Get yourself a small book so that you can record different aspects of your culture through printed images and googlable information :)
#5 Date Yourself
In other words, slow down and allow your body to experience something different and foreign.
Take your laptop and find a cafe with beautiful scenery where you can relax, engage in light work, and sip on a hot drink.
Kick it up a notch by taking a salsa lesson, going strawberry picking, going to the cinema, or creating a cute picnic at the park.
This year, let’s become more in tune with ourselves by trying new things.
It’s time to figure out and separate our dislikes from the fear and anxiety that prevent us from completing certain activities alone.
So here’s your task:
Try to delight yourself with new, delicious cuisines from around the world every month. You can cook it up using recipes or go to various restaurants :)
#6 Let The Insecurities Go!
Whether physical or internal, insecurities can restrict individuals from reaching their full potential.
It’s time to take back control, recentre your focus, and regain the confidence you’ve been lacking.
Time is fleeting and thus waits for no one.
Don’t let another year pass you by without taking back your happiness and finding true fulfilment.
Of course, it is completely normal to acknowledge the things that we do not like about our appearance.
However, these things should not take authority over our minds or force us into choosing paths that hold us back from experiencing genuine joy.
So here’s your task:
Give yourself a deadline to remedy a particular insecurity. If results are not as desired, take a deep breath and start to live life without those insecurities controlling you. It’s not an easy journey, but it’s worth it.
#7 Impress Yourself!
Beauty and brains: the ultimate duo that has a fun and exciting journey to partake in.
Now is the time to enhance your attractiveness in every way, including intellectually and learning new skills.
Showcase to yourself that you have just what it takes to work hard and achieve something.
It could be playing an instrument, starting a business, creating a documentary, revisiting a high school subject, steering your career in another direction, learning or teaching a language, etc.
It’s finally time that you feel competent in something.
It’s time to find your artistry, your passion.
After doing these things, don’t be surprised at the quality of individuals you’ve attracted into your life.
Don’t be surprised at how your confidence increases and easily shines through, making others acknowledge your radiant beauty as well.
#8 Shower Yourself With Daily Encouragement
Showering others with gifts and words of affirmation somehow seems easier to do than sharing that same love with ourselves.
We often neglect to embrace ourselves with actions, let alone with words.
It’s important to remind yourself daily how loved you are.
Treat yourself with compassion and care, applaud your small wins, acknowledge your progress, practice self-care, cherish your mental health, lose the shame, and have respect for yourself and others.
The beauty of doing this also showcases to the world how they are to treat you as well.
So, here’s your task:
Get yourself a journal to write down the things you are grateful for. Write down your worries and weaknesses in a loving way. Combat these negatives with positives by acknowledging your strengths. Repeat them out loud and believe them.
#9 Health
We are living in truly serious times to not be taking care of our bodies.
Who doesn’t want to be around for their loved ones?
Take time to revise your habits and how they may impact the health and optimum function of your body.
Ensure that your gut health is in order and that your diet incorporates the right nutrients.
Engage in daily activity and vitamin supplements if deficient.
Add fun by joining a sports club or a dance class online or in person.
Overall, your body and mind will thank you.
#10 Don’t Allow Opportunities to Pass You By
Stop the limiting habits that are preventing you from making a move on your future.
Leave the indecisiveness, the rumination and the overthinking in the trash.
Self-doubt and the fear of failing are holding you back from unleashing your full potential and making amazing memories on the way.
As said before, it’s time to take back control, recentre your focus, and regain the confidence you’ve been lacking.
So here’s your task:
Leave the regret of not taking on those past opportunities behind. Time waits for no one, and so life continues. As opportunities continue to come your way, take a chance even though the road ahead may be blurry.
Wait! Before you go, here's a quote for you to take while you leave:
Well, That’s It, Folks
