Uncovering parts of yourself at a time when you’re feeling a little lost can be comforting, motivating and a little fascinating.
So here are my top tips on finding your glow again.
1. Discover your North Node Placement and what this means for you.
Points to consider;
- What are your challenges? - What actions must you take to overcome these? - What in life brings you the most satisfaction?
2. Forgive yourself; For any shortcomings or for times where you didn’t know any better. It’s time to say nice things about yourself and to not judge yourself so harshly. You’re human and we have all made mistakes.
Make a daily gratitude list and write 2 things you’re grateful for each day. For example, I am thankful for the food I ate today, for reaching home safely from work or I am grateful for my family/friends.
3. Now Go & Enjoy; Make a list of 3 activities that you love to do.
For example; listening to music, going to the gym, hanging out with family and friends that positively support you. Now schedule these activities for the upcoming week, make a commitment to yourself to Include at least one mood lifting activity a day.
4. It’s time for a MAKEOVER; Whether it’s a new haircut, a pedicure or some new trainers. Go and treat yourself. I know you may not feel like it but try and do something nice for yourself, give yourself some much-needed TLC.
5. New Targets; Set 2 NEW goals for you to achieve in the next 3 months.
These can be a small goal such as take the dog for a walk every day, or to have a green tea each morning. If you'd like, you can also choose to have bigger goal such as to buy a new car or to go on a holiday. Whatever the goal may be, ensure that it is attainable and that it won’t add any stress to your workload.
For example, I have a small goal of cutting down on sugar and a big goal of mine is to book a solo trip before my 30th birthday…what are your new goals?
6. Bye- Bye Negativity; Break up with any toxic habits that may be hurting your progress.
This one is a little harder, but we can’t skip the hard parts. Growth means being honest about the positives and the negatives. A negative habit can be procrastination, self-sabotaging, excessive alcohol/drug consumption, negative thinking or not communicating your feelings.
Whatever this may be, it’s time to send that break up text. How you decide to do this will be different for each person, some people use affirmations, self-help books, therapy, support groups or rehabilitation.
There is no judgement over here. I personally have suffered with my own short comings and addiction has been in my bloodline for many years, something I had to break off my own generational line.
Whatever this may be for you nothing is too big or too small, but it does start with wanting the best for yourself and being ready to make that change for YOU. I always recommend seeking professional help to guide you through the healing process and to journal your journey so you can look back in the future at how far you have come.
7. Be Kind to Yourself; Take each day as it comes.
Do your best not to compare yourself with friends, family or anyone you see on social media. Take a break from social circles and the internet if needed, just until you feel like you again. Be honest with those that care for you about how you're feeling and how they can support you through this stage of your journey. Remember to go easy on yourself, one day at a time.
Everyday will be a step but keep going. You’re loved, you’re appreciated, you’re favoured.
Big love,
