So it's my favorite time of the year
with spring comes new blooms, a time of rebirth and growth.
It's like nature is breathing new life into the world
and the sun shines a different way.
I'm inspired to flow with the seasons
and spring is the perfect time to renew yourself.
As trees sprout new leaves. We too can begin anew.
Like nature, we are ever changing,
shedding our old skin
and evolving into the next version of ourselves.
The beauty of being human is our ability to bring intention to our change.
We can choose how we want to change and renew ourselves.
We get to envision and design it.
And that's, what's so exciting to me.
I decided to wear something a little bit brighter today
because I have literally been wearing the same boring dull
clothes every single day.
So changing it up.
Okay guys, let's talk about how to renew yourself.
It is spring. It is time to bloom again.
And if you have been feeling dull,
if you've just been feeling a little too comfortable,
slipping back into bad habits or maybe living on autopilot,
this video is for you.
I'm going to talk about how to renew yourself,
how to feel better about your life, how to feel brighter.
Because, I don't know about you,
but I've been feeling a little like meh, dull, low energy.
And I know that, you know, I'm changing on the inside,
but at the same time,
I know I also have a conscious choice in like how I'm shaping this change.
So I choose to bring more energy into my life by doing the things
that I'm going to talk about today.
So the first step to renewing yourself and finding your spark for life again,
is to have self awareness.
Reflect and ask yourself,
How do I feel? How did I get here? Why do I feel this way?
Ask yourself those deep questions
and get to the core of how you're really feeling
and why you think you got here.
You might not like figure it out completely,
but asking those questions will give you a really good start to
at least know where you are.
The second important thing to do is to reset your mind.
I recommend meditating
and meditating is something that it's best when done consistently.
So sure, it's good to meditate like once for like 10 minutes,
but if you can do every single day for just five minutes,
like that's even better than doing it all at once
because it's the consistency that makes it effective.
So what meditation does is it clears your mind
and helps you center and connect with yourself again.
And if you believe in God or the universe,
it helps you connect with that as well, that spiritual aspect.
I find that the reason why we can be so dull and unmotivated
sometimes is because we're too distracted.
We are too plugged into social media and the world outside of ourselves that
we lose connection with our inner self. We lose touch with that inner voice.
We don't know what it's telling us. We lose touch with our spirituality.
And so life is just like, it feels blah.
So it's so important to clear your mind from any distractions so that you can
pay attention and hear the voice within.
Step three, tune in.
Learn to listen and trust yourself and the signs from the universe.
So learning to trust yourself is learning to just,
listen and pay attention to that inner voice within
because that is your true self.
That is who you really are and what you really want.
And so obviously my favorite way to do that is to journal.
I just brain dump everything
that's on my mind onto paper until eventually I can actually see,
"Oh, this is how I've been feeling. Oh, this is what I really think."
And this is why, and this is another reason why.
Like, it's just the best way to dig deep.
When I say pay attention to the universe and the world around you,
I'm talking about signs and coincidences.
I truly believe the universe speaks to you through
signs and coincidences that just are improbable.
You know, you've all experienced it.
We've all experienced seeing things that are "huh?"
Like too coincidental, or maybe just repeating numbers.
Anytime I see a repeating number, I'll look it up
and I'll read what the definition of that angel number.
And by now I feel like I see them all the time,
but I do notice that I see the signs, repeating numbers and coincidence
much more when I am just in tune with the flow of life.
Lately, I've been feeling dull and not really as in tune.
So that's why I've noticed I don't see it as much.
One thing I started to do this year was I started to list all the
synchronicities and coincidences I've experienced in my life
from the time where I was in Bali
and I bumped into like so many people I knew without planning it,
or just, you know, funny things like dreaming about my cousin.
And then she texted me like that morning.
or like a time where I'm like, "Oh, I really want to hear this song next".
Let me go find it.
And then it comes up on shuffle before I even choose the song.
Like those kinds of moments. You're just like, "whoa, what the heck?"
And to me that is the universe speaking to you.
And to me, it is a sign that you are on the right path.
So with all of these synchronicities, it is up to you to decide what that means.
Like maybe it means nothing, right?
Some of these, I don't know what it means,
but then there are other times where I'm like, okay, this might mean this.
Maybe it means I should call this person. Right?
So nobody can tell you what to do or what these synchronicities mean,
because it's really up to you to define and figure it out for yourself.
Ultimately, the more connected you are with your inner self
and with the universe and the synchronicities,
the more you are on the right path in life.
Look at this monstera that I propagated his roots have grown this much.
And I just think they're so beautiful.
And they're propagated. Look at that.
You guys saw how I trimmed this guy in my last vlog.
I chopped this guy off.
He was super tall and now we're branching.
His top is growing so much and we have branched,
Oh my gosh, this is beautiful.
Like each branch has three large leaves on each side
and I am so inspired by this.
This is called chopping, letting it go,
trusting that you'll come back bigger and better than ever.

So back to tips on renewing yourself.
So number four is to make a list of all the things that are not
serving you right now, write it down.
So these are things that you might be doing like poor habits, being on social
media too long, or it might be things that are outside of you.
You know, like people asking you to do stuff,
just things that are not good for your energy.
So ask yourself what is draining my energy? What is not serving me?
What is not supporting me becoming my best self?
For example, things I wrote on my list are reading Twitter.
I find that I can scroll Twitter or even like TikTok for way too long.
And it sucks up my energy
because I end up having to care about whatever I read about
and you know what, its not serving me.
Eating junk food. At the same time, I love my snacks,
but I know that over doing it is not serving me.
So after you've written down your list of what doesn't serve you,
Let go of whatever you can from that list.
Either cut it out or reduce it as much as you can,
knowing that it is not serving your best self.
So take some time to update your routines and your lifestyles put in those
blocks that make it easier to not do these things,
or just learn to set better boundaries so that you're not giving too much
of your energy to the things that you shouldn't be giving it to.
The next exercise to do is
to list out all of the things that make you feel amazing.
So things that always lift up your energy,
things that make you feel good,
things that just make you feel vibrant and alive.
For example, things that I wrote on my list are
yoga, meditation, singing, dancing, eating fruits, and dressing up.
These are things that make me feel good about myself.
Essentially you have a list of things that you know will help you raise your vibration.
So raising your vibration is just lifting up your energy,
feeling good about yourself, just being at a higher energy frequency.
And when you have a higher vibration, you attract good things to you.
You attract more of the life that you want
when you have like a lower frequency
and you're feeling dull and bored and whatever,
that is not the energy state of living your best life.
So if you really want to renew yourself, spend more time doing these things.
put it in your schedule, just do more things that make you feel good.
The next tip I have for you is to shift your energy,
to attract what you want to become.
So this is law of attraction in action.
Basically, if you are feeling dull and bored and whatever,
that is what you're going to attract more of in your life.
So you want to first decide where you want to be, how you want to feel.
Literally describe it as specific as you can.
and then take some time every day, maybe like two minutes a day
to just step into that feeling of being who you want to be.
Step into that feeling. Visualize it. Imagine it.
You can do this during meditation or before you fall asleep.
I tend to love like visualizing who I want to be before I fall asleep because
I'm trying to fall asleep anyway.
It's just might as well do that.
Another method you can do if you're less of a visualizer and more of a
words person is to do scripting. So scripting is just journaling,
but in the present tense of you as that ideal self,
you as the person that you want to be, the person who's already achieved,
whatever you want to achieve,
the person who feels the way that you want to feel.
And the key emotion to both of these exercises is gratitude.
You want to feel gratitude for the way you feel for what you have in life.
Just feel gratitude for every single little detail that you can think of
because when you feel gratitude, it tricks your brain into thinking:
"I already have this. I'm so grateful."
Basically, you want to feel grateful for everything that you already have.
And when I say already have, it's grateful for the things that you want,
but you phrase it in your mind as I already have this.
And by doing that, you're kind of tricking your brain into believing you have it.
And into believing that that gratitude is real.
And thus, you attract more of those things to you into your reality.
And gratitude is just one of the highest frequencies.
It is up there with love and gratitude is something that is like so important.
If you want to live a happy life. I think having gratitude,
cultivates more happiness and appreciation for life,
more satisfaction for life.
You can have everything in the world, but if you're not grateful for it,
then it is meaningless.
Things become more meaningful.
Life becomes more meaningful with gratitude.
The last thing I want to say that is important but often overlooked is
to have patience and give time for this process
of renewal and transformation.
Just like plants, when you look at them, you don't notice them changing.
You know, if you're paying attention, they're growing really slow,
but if you're not paying attention, they happen to grow very fast.
And you're like, oh my god, this is different. How did it change so fast?
So I think life is like that, you know?
When you're paying attention to the day to day, like,
it doesn't feel like things are changing,
but when you look back like a month or 2 months, or even a year, you're like,
okay, yeah, things have changed. I am different now.
Just a reminder to trust the process.
It's okay to not know all the answers.
It's okay to not have everything figured out.
I feel like a lot of the things I'm saying today is just advice I want to give myself
because I've been going through this like transformation changing phase.
And there's a lot of uncertainty.
So let's just leave it at this. Trust the process.
Embrace the uncertainty. And know that everything is happening
as it's meant to happen. I'm pretty sure all of us have changed since last year.
So if you can relate to just this feeling of going through a process of
transformation and change comment down below,
in what ways do you feel yourself changing and renewing?
I'm excited to read your comments.
Thank you so much for watching and hanging out with me.
See you next time. Bye.
