Dress like it 

We all know our vibes are influenced by what we wear, just like the colors around us, the food we eat, or the beats we jam to.

So, why not use that to our advantage?

In all the movies and shows, the main characters rock these epic, custom outfits. Even if they’re in ripped, blood-stained threads, they somehow pull off model vibes.

And guess what? That’s the exact vibe I want you to channel with this activity. Picture your absolute best self: What’s she wearing? What’s her style? Think about the colors, and most importantly, how she’s feeling in those amazing outfits.

Once you’ve got the mental image, hit up Pinterest or social media for outfit inspo that screams “the best version of me.” 

Then, have a blast recreating those looks at home. It’s all about bringing that A-game energy to your everyday style even if you are going to a cafe or on a study date.

Now this is not about completely throwing your clothes out and buying a new wardrobe, but about working with what you have and curating outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Document your journey.  How to become the main character

Honestly, adding this to my routine has been a recent game-changer, and I’m totally vibing with it. 

What’s great about this exercise is there are so many ways to go about it—like jotting your thoughts down in a journal, making little video snippets of your day, or just taking pics of whatever you’re up to.

My go-to move is wrapping up the day with an episode title (I actually got the inspo. from a TikTok video). I personally love to do it FRIENDS style. Like, “the one with the family dinner” or, when things get wild, “the one with the failed love declaration.”

And on those days that don’t stand out much, I write what I’m feeling grateful for—whether it’s my mom, my friends, or even something great I did that day. It turns this “episode log” into a sweet memoir, capturing the vibe of each day as the year goes own.

So, when you flip back through your “episode log,” you’ve got this legit record of your daily adventures. 

Because let’s be real, nothing shouts “main character” louder than giving your days these cool title episodes. It’s like adding a bit of story magic to the regular day-to-day stuff.

Becoming the main character. Learn to see everything as an adventure 

Have you noticed that we get so caught up in our daily routine that every becomes boringly monotonous? Even the things that once excited us become lost in the haze that is our daily life.

And because we find everything so monotonous and predictable we feel no excitement to wake up in the morning.

But that actually has an easy fix and that is learning to see everything as an adventure. 

And how exactly can you do that, you might be wondering?

Well here are a few quick tips to turn your life into an adventure:

• Choose a theme song or curate a playlist for your life: Have you ever thought about what theme song you would have if your life were a series? And since we are on the topic of music why not create a playlist with your favorite bangers to lift up your mood even on a “boring” Tuesday afternoon?

• Immerse yourself fully: When was the last time you got so lost in the present and past (and the future) while doing a specific task? I am sure even as you are reading this you’re wondering and thinking about a million other things.

But it’s time to put an end to that because believe it or not time is passing right in front of your eyes. And you can choose to immerse yourself in it or watch it pass by as you are thinking about your ex from 3 years ago.

• Turn around your routines. We talked before about how easy it is to get lost in our daily tasks. So why not try to give it a twist? Like for example altering the order in which you tackle tasks, or experimenting with different methods and approaches.

• Connect daily tasks to major goals and resolutions. You still remember your resolutions from 2024 right? Great because this tip will not only help you see your life as an adventure but also help you achieve your goals! Now that’s what I call multitasking.

And it’s as simple as connecting your daily tasks to your goals and objectives. So take a look at your routine and start connecting them to your list of resolutions. (ptsss… if you can’t find any maybe it’s time you really shake up your routine- here’s a great post on how to create productive routines to help you achieve your goals!)

Doing this will not only help you boost your motivation but avoid getting lost in the “boring to-do lists” of life.

Get out of your comfort zone

I know out of all the things in this list, this one will probably sound the scariest. But at the same, it will be one of the most rewarding habits you can implement out of them all.

Comfort zones are cozy, familiar spaces where routines and predictability reign. 

And while these zones give us a sense of security, they can also limit your growth in all areas of your life.

The interesting thing about comfort zones is they have the ability to expand along with their limits and what find as comfortable and secure.

This comes as a good thing as you only need to do something new a couple of times (or even once) before it starts to feel comfortable.  

So what I’m encouraging you to do right now is to take a piece of paper and write down a list of 10 things you can do to get out of your comfort zone. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:

• Go on a solo day adventure to a place you’ve never been whether it’s a hike, a museum visit, or even exploring a new neighborhood
• Enroll in an improv or acting class
• Have a theme-based dinner party. Host a dinner party with a theme that’s completely out of your comfort zone. It could be a cuisine from a culture you’re unfamiliar with or a style of cooking you’ve never tried before
• Random Acts of Kindness Challenge Commit to a week of daily random acts of kindness. This could include paying for a stranger’s coffee, writing anonymous positive notes, or volunteering your time
• Have a tech detox weekend 
• Enroll in an artistic workshop. This could range from poetry classes to painting, or sculpting. The great thing about this you can allow yourself to express freely without the pressure of perfection.
• Participate in a mindfulness or meditation retreat
• Plan a weekend trip to a new destination
• Challenge yourself to start and complete a DIY project from scratch
• Attend a social event related to one of your interests alone. This will give you an opportunity to meet with new people and expand your social circle
• Begin a side project or hobby that’s outside your usual comfort zone

Take action on the things you are always postponing

Yes, I am talking about that trip to Disney Land Paris, or Austria. Oh, and forget about that dinner you have planned with your plans forever. Or that piece of clothing that makes you sigh every time you pass it by, but never actually buy.

We always say it’s not the right time. That you are too busy or don’t have the means at the moment. A million excuses to keep us from doing the things that make us feel happy and fill us with joy.

So why keep supporting those excuses? Seriously what are you waiting for? Your life is happening right, not tomorrow, not in a month, now.

So find the means, make the time and start creating meaningful memories instead of years of your life you’ll end up regretting.

Use morning affirmations

Affirmations are a huge personal growth tool. Not only to help you over your limiting beliefs but also to boost your self esteem and confidence about yourself.

And really I can’t imagine a better to start your day. So to help you get into the habit of using morning affirmations here are a couple of ideas:

• My self-worth is not determined by external opinions. I am confident in my unique qualities and the value I bring to the world
• I release self-doubt and embrace my inner strength. I am capable, resilient, and deserving of success.
• I am worthy of love and respect, and I embrace the power within me to create positive change in my life
• I am in control of my thoughts and choose positivity. I attract abundance, joy, and opportunities into my life
• My past does not define me; each day is a new opportunity for growth, learning, and self-improvement

P.S. Want an even cooler way to incorporate morning affirmations into your life? Then you definitely need to try these affirmation cards!

And I’m not just saying this because of how beautiful these cards look.

See, I’m going to tell you a little secret. 

Sometimes I find it hard to believe the affirmations I read. It’s like my mouth is saying the words, but my mind is telling me “Good luck believing that”.

But the great thing about these cards is that the affirmations in them are actually believable and realistic. (This is truly the whole point of using affirmations. If you can’t manage to believe them then you might as well be trying to drive a hole through a wall with a small rock- basically pointless)

So if you are ready to commit to the incredible habit of starting your days with a boost of confidence and empowerment, then you should definitely start with these affirmation cards!

Random acts of kindness

When was the last time you did something kind for a stranger or even a loved one?

Here are some ideas for random acts of kindness:

• Compliment a stranger
• Buy a coffee for the person behind you
• Send a positive message to a friend or family member
• Hold the door open
• Donate unwanted items
• Write thank you notes to people who have made a positive impact on your life
• Help a neighbor
• Leave Positive Sticky Notes
• Offer Your Seat
• Plant a Seed of Positivity
