what works for someone might not work for
someone else so you'll probably have to do a bit of experimenting for yourself to see
what works best for you and make sure to watch till the end where I'm saving my best tips for last
first is sleep itself! the importance of consistent sleep patterns
is often overlooked but the science is super clear that consistent sleep is actually crucial
for our overall health and well-being. we tend to thrive on regularity; going to bed and waking
up at the same time every day helps regulate our body's internal cloth resulting in a higher
quality sleep. this not only gives you the energy to take on challenges of each day but
according to a recent meta-analysis in the sleep medicine reviews, also improves your
mood cognitive function and physical health. including the appearance of your skin good
sleep is what allows you to fully appreciate and embrace the good part of our days while
better dealing with the bad ones. recently I've discovered nanohydroxy appetite toothpaste
and I can't attest to this yet because I've only been using it for a couple of days but
I heard that this type of toothpaste can remineralize your teeth and help it look whiter like less
translucent and also help with sensitivity but I will update you
skincare is also paramount in any good glow up routine
incorporating products like vitamin C serum, moisturizer, hyaluronic acid and sunscreen
can be transformative for your skin. vitamin C fights against free radicals promotes collagen
production and brightens your complexion. moisturizer and hyaluronic acid maintains your skin's
hydration, keeping it supple and reducing the appearance of fine lines. and sunscreen is essential
for protecting against harmful UV rays that can cause premature aging and cancer so remember
to look after your skin each day if you can and you'll truly be rewarded for it.
just as important is exercise. the benefits of physical activity is almost endless
and they're not just aesthetic.
exercise, especially regular exercise, have been found
to boost your mood and reduce stress, helps with your cardiovascular health, and promote
much better quality sleep. and if you're consistent about it you'll probably find that over time
as you notice your strength and endurance improving, it will increase your confidence
self-esteem and body Image too :)
there's just no substitute for the lasting fulfillment that comes from appreciating the
results of your own hard work and dedication. if you're also able to pair regular workout
routine with a healthy balanced diet, you'll be well on your way towards not just a physical
go up but also a bright and vibrant one from within too.
moving towards a different direction makeup can be a wonderful tool for enhancing
your natural beauty and exploring your personal style the key is to focus on enhancing your
features rather than covering others up choose products that complement your skin tone highlight
your features and make you feel confident always remember makeup is a form of self-expression
and should be a joyful process not something that engenders feelings of shame or inadequacy
journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection and mental clarity. it can
help you understand your thoughts and emotions better track your personal growth and habits
and identify patterns or behaviors that you might want to change. putting things in writing
also forces us to really examine the assumptions that we make about ourselves our lives and
our World Views when we keep our thoughts in our head it's easy to skip over and not
notice the flaws in our own thinking that only become apparent when we slow down enough
to write them down. it's also a great way to appreciate your accomplishments no matter
how small helping build self-esteem and fostering a positive mindset for your glow up I personally
use a bullet journal and not only do I put regular journal entries but I also track my
habits write my to-do lists and organize my schedule on there
all of these points have so far converged on one point building self-confidence developing
confidence and comfort in your own person is both the most challenging and most rewarding
part of your glow up it's not about being perfect rather it's what allows you to embrace
your own uniqueness and Imperfections. slowly give up comparison with others and interact
with the world without being held back by your anxieties and insecurities it's not something
that happens overnight and requires a lot of patience but when you do find ways to be
confident in yourself it will shine light upon all areas of your life
next, try sleeping with a silk cap or pillow it turns out that not only is this just a luxury but
actually something that has real benefits for our hair and our skin. silk is smooth which
helps reduce the friction that contributes to hair breakage and frizz according to a
recent clinical trial it even helps retain moisture in your skin reducing dryness and
acne formation overnight and for those who have allergies or sensitive skin the hypoallergenic
material can really help too so this simple change in your bedtime routine can really
get you started on your glow up journey.
so how can we make sure we stay consistent on our glow up Journey because we're not always
going to want to do the things that are good for us and it's important to find ways to
do them anyways the first step is to develop positive habits which is instrumental in maintaining
long-term changes habits such as regular exercise balance nutrition adequate hydration and sufficient
sleep can become the foundation of your daily routine the important thing when your billing
habits is not to be too hard on yourself when you miss a day bad days are inevitable but
if we kick ourselves when we're down that won't do us any good instead author and wellness
specialist Leo Babauta recommends that you focus on trying not to miss two days in a
row if your goal is to journal every day and you miss one the key for maintaining the Habit
is ensuring that the next day you get it done
next is to learn to be comfortable alone because solitude is often what gives us the opportunity
to truly explore our own interests, cultivate self-awareness and reflect upon ourselves
without the social pressures pushing us in different directions it's a space in which
we can really sit and introspect and decide for ourselves what we truly value not for
others sake but for our own in learning to enjoy our own company we can strive towards
greater emotional maturity and stability which will always help us in our glow up journeys
at the same time surround yourself with positive people. positive doesn't just mean constantly
happy or enthusiastic but people who uplift you encourage you and challenge you to be
a better person these are the friends that cheer you on when you're making progress and
pick you up when you're feeling low
now while we're adding positivity it's equally important to delete the toxic ones from our
life toxic relationships can join you emotionally and mentally remember to protect your energy
we all know how hard it can be to step away from toxic relationships but always remember
it's okay to prioritize your mental health and well-being don't be afraid to unfriend
block or distance yourself from people who bring negativity into your life it may feel
uncomfortable at first and you may question your decision but trust me once you have moved
past that discomfort you'll feel lighter and happier and while we're focusing on the kind
of friends we want around us let's not forget that we need to be the same for them friendships
are two-way streets after all be supportive be kind and be there for your friends just
as you would want them to be there for you ask yourself are you cheering them on in their
accomplishments are you there for them in their low moments do encourage their growth
remember as much as you're looking for positive and uplifting people aim to be one yourself
surround yourself with positivity distance yourself from toxicity and be the kind of
friend you would want to have
remember that wanting to be better for yourself is the very essence of a glow up and this
isn't about comparing yourself to others or measuring yourself against someone else's
standard it's about acknowledging that while you are always deserving of respect it's still
possible to become a kinder more confident more thoughtful version of who you can truly
look up to upon with pride respect and admiration the most important thing to aim towards however
above all else is self-love. self-love is the cornerstone of any glow up journey it means
accepting respecting and nurturing yourself and acknowledging that your worth does not
depend on your appearance your accolades your wealth or anything else it's recognizing that
your continued existence is enough all on its own to make you deserving of love and
happiness and this means taking care of your physical emotional and mental health and making
decisions that reflect care and respect you should have for yourself
