💖 3 STEPS FOR 2025 TRANSFORMATION - 1 WEEK UNTIL 2025 [GLOW UP SERIES] 💖
It's been a moment! This time next week we will officially be in 2025!! It’s so crazy to think that our new year glow-up started in September and I for one have seen HUGE shifts in starting my pre-2025 glow-up. If you’re late to the game, and only now having time to reflect on what you want achieve in 2025 here 3 simple focus points:
You absolutely need a vision. What are you working towards? What is your goal? This needs to be centred around how you want to feel. Every time I’ve skipped this step, I’ve just plodded along with life, sure some things have changed but not on a DRASTIC level. If you want that unrecognisable-collapsing-timelines shift to take place in your life you need to get familiar with your next level, this is so when it arrives, when you are presented with stepping stones it feels natural. It doesn’t feel scary. When I was sharing a room with my mom a year ago looking at ocean view apartments that were way more than I was used to paying I was able to push through the fear and discomfort of ‘who am I to live there’, ‘this is too expensive’ because I had REHEARSED living in my new apartment so much. I knew what it felt like to walk my dog along the beach every morning. This lifestyle was NORMAL for me in my mind, so when the 3D caught up, I knew it was destiny. It felt right, it flowed, because I was FAMILIAR with my vision.
You need to actually look at your day to day and see where you are not optimising your life to move yourself forward. For example, you don’t have time for the gym in the mornings but waste 30mins scrolling in bed. That is time that can be optimised! You don’t have time to cook healthy lunches so end up buying junk food and feel gross, meal-prep is how you optimise your time! You don’t have time to meditate, but have to walk your dog every morning…Walking meditation with the dog is how you optimise. Make time work for you. Make your day, align with your future self, with the elevated you, not the lazy you, unproductive you.
You need to start speaking life into yourself with gratitude and praise. This looks like those mornings driving where you usually overthink and work yourself into a mental hell hole, you start speaking life into yourself. You go on a rampage, you remind yourself how good things always happen to you, how badass you truly are. It’s just you, in your car, let loose and make this a habit. You’re in the mirror, you pro-actively speak loving words into yourself, you go out of your way throughout the day to remind yourself how lucky you are that xxx, how wonderful it is xxxx, how grateful you are xxxx..What this does is mentally programme your mind into higher vibrational thoughts. You’ll naturally start thinking better, negative thoughts won’t be able to make a home inside of you because you will have a deposit of good energy, of self love from speaking life into yourself throughout the day.
Things I've learned working with (for) some of the biggest names and elites in my field;
1. If you can Google it, don't ask it
2. If you don't know enough about it to be an expert don't talk about it
3. Your bachelor's means nothing. Most of those absolute gods haven't even studied this field and they're winning. Experience >>>> certification
4. Stay as far away from your fineeeeee specimen of a boss (there's a story here but the idea is FLEEE TEMPTATION)
5. Only narcissists like a flatterer. No one wants to be constantly told how awesome they are it's actually kind of embarrassing. Cut out the hero worship, find the balance between treating them as equals but knowing youre not.
6. Survival for the fittest. Only the strong survive
7. Leave your morals at home. In this world you do whatever it takes until the only option left is to sell your soul, then its better to go home.
8. Never outshine the masters. This intern was doing so good he got fired it's sad to watch but Robert Greene said what he said.
9. No oneeeeeeeeeeee cares about your accomplishments, leave past glory at home. 'I'm the smartest in my class' okay well so is everyone.
10. Let your competition stay comfortable and move in silence. Shoutout to my fineeeeeeeeee boss for this piece of advise btw. (Yall the man is so fine though )
11. Know your place. Learn the hierarchy and stick to your post, rise slowly in the background (I'll make a post about it)
12. The elite of the elite are some of the most insecure people in this planet. Due to the nature of my field I've met actual real life elites, News frequenters, heirs , business moguls (journalism major here) and my God what an insecure bunch.
13. Networking >>>> work. Working hard is great but all success is networking. Know who's who.
14. Just because someone is in a position of power doesn't mean they're the ones in power. I've seen bosses cave under employees. When you learn hierarchy,learn who ACTUALLY holds the power.
15. Workplace boundaries are everything. Matter of fact I think your workplace is the one place you need the most boundaries in. Either establish yourself or get used ( the other interns were telling me about how the bosses would call them at MIDNIGHT with work lol and there was me who doesn't even look at my phone after ten. Also, SEXUAL HARRASMENT gawd. Deeeesgoooosting. Boundaries, ladies. Boundaries)
16. Do not go above and beyond no one cares. Do whatever you're getting paid to do and go home.
17. Your workmates are NOT your friends. It's not a team nor a family. Look out for your best interests.
Evolve my love, the time is now 💖💫🌍
Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take. The time will pass anyway.
THIS!!!
You know you have mastered a soul lesson when the situation is the same, but you respond differently to it. That’s true self mastery.
A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
