GLOW UP GUIDE FOR 2025⠀
READ: On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And considering that 2025 is precisely these many days away, why not start with our glow up plan already?
Physical Glow Up-
BODY
— 5-10K steps a day.
— 7-8 hours of sleep.
— workout everyday for 1 hr atleast- yoga/stretching/pilates/cardio/lifting weights. a workout may take one hour, but your mood will be boosted for the next 12 hours.
— posture training.
— sunlight exposure after waking up for at least 10 minutes.
NUTRITION
— 2-3 liters of water every day.
— limit your caffeine intake.
— avoid sugars as much as you can.
— high protein diet, pre and probiotics.
— more fruits and veggies (+ green smoothies if you like).
— no junk/processed food/trans fat.
— no eating after 8 pm.
SKINCARE
— be clear on your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).
— once you're clear, use these accordingly- cleanser, toner, targeted serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (≥50 spf).
— keep your bedding clean as well.
— no picking of skin on your lips, cuticle etc.
— gua sha to help improve blood circulation and lessen toxins.
— cold therapy may take three to five minutes of being uncomfortable, but your energy levels will be boosted for the rest of the day.
— remove makeup before you go to bed.
BODY CARE
— shower every day.
— exfoliate 2x a week.
— use body lotion (shea butter/aloe vera gel/coconut oil).
HAIR CARE
— wash hair 2-3x a week
— oil your scalp 2x a week, at least 3 hours before shampoo.
— hair mask 1x per week.
— never brush wet hair.
— use silk pillow case.
HYGIENE
— brush your teeth 2x a day, clean tongue and the roof of the mouth daily.
— floss daily.
— cut your nails 1x a week, never remove the cuticles.
— glycolic acid under arm for odor and discoloration.
— never use soap on your coochie.
Mental Glow Up-
MINDSET
— set clear goals- define and breakdown your aspirations.
— start your mornings with positive affirmations.
— surround yourself with uplifting content and people.
— be shamelessly selfish to your career and mental health, remove anyone or anything that doesn't align with your priorities and wellbeing.
— boost your brain health by these 4 neuroscience tools:
difficult first: start your day with the most difficult task (cortisol and dopamine are high in the body meaning that your body/mind is primed to work).
rest your eyes: introduce a micro-pause after learning by resting/closing your eyes - will help retain information better.
tomorrow's worries: write tomorrow's to-do list before bed as it is proven to be effective in helping you fall asleep.
find time to play: engage in low-stake play. can be anything you find fun but where the outcome doesn't matter (induces neuroplasticity + reduces stress).
MIND
— meditation might take as low as ten minutes, but your focus will be improved for the rest of the day.
— no social media after waking up and at least an hour before bed.
— keep aside 1 hr of time to read daily! reading a new book may take five hours, but you will keep the knowledge forever.
— journaling, gratitude.
— digital detox once a week or for 12 hours.
— limit unnecessary screentime, unfollow or cut off people you don't want to see.
JOURNALING
— choose a regular time each day to journal, making it a part of your routine.
— find a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. light a candle if you want.
— allow your thoughts to flow without censoring or editing.
— write about your feelings and emotions to understand them better. write about things you are thankful for to boost your mood. write about your short-term and long-term goals. identify what triggers certain emotions or reactions
— set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write continuously during that time.
— reflect on both positive experiences and challenges.
— make lists, journal your thoughts on these questions.
— journal at night to clear your mind before bedtime, because emotions and thoughts lose their power once we acknowledge them.
— a gratitude practice may take five minutes, but your mindset will be shifted for the rest of the day.
AFFIRMATIONS
— customise affirmations to your needs.
Personal Life-
WEEKLY TASKS
— initiate small changes: begin with small, manageable tasks such as making your bed or cleaning your room every sunday.
— celebrate your success: reward yourself when you achieve your goals or have a consistently productive week. consider treats like buying flowers for yourself or watching your favorite show.
DAILY WORK
— set achievable goals: establish realistic goals for the day, week, or month ahead.
— track your progress.
— organise your work space, declutter your shelves etc.
— embrace the power of lists: keep a list of tasks to be done and their deadlines. this way, you start each day with a clear plan. to make it visually appealing and motivating, consider using productivity apps like evernote, habit tracker, or notion.
PRODUCTIVITY TIPS
— wake up early.
— plan ahead everything, do scheduling. you can use:
google calendar / notion / tasks .
— if the task takes less than 2 minutes to finish, do it immediately.
— countdown rule, if you are procrastinating, count 1-2-3-4-5 and jump.
— start slow, don't rush and try to do everything at one time.
— follow a proper routine, use app locks based on screentime.
— pomodoro technique, 25 min work, and 5 min break.
— schedule longer break times as well e.g 30 min nap.
i've lost weight from the comfort of my bed while eating like shit, i've got accepted into programs without even applying, i've got promoted at work by doing the bare minimum, i've been gifted desired things i never mentioned wanting out loud, i've gotten money from the most random sources, i've changed my weight distribution, i've changed my height, i've changed my face, ive cured my dental problems, i've revised animal sickness, i've gotten my exact desired sp, i've gotten gaul citizenship, i've changed my grades, i've got my dream apartment, i've gained my exact desires friend group, i've gotten multiple free vacations... loa is literally the cheat code to life.
Go to bed telling yourself nice things, "I had an AMAZING day today." "I am thriving" even if in the physical reality you had the worst possible day, YOURE GONNA FLIP THE SCRIPT and tell yourself that you had the most AMAZING day,
Wake up in the morning telling yourself nice things "I am beautiful" "I am happy and healthy" "I am abundant". When you're at work/school tell yourself nice things "I am prosperous" "everything is ALWAYS working out in my favour" "whatever I want I get 10x better" "God has my back" ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!!!
check in with your mental diet every single moment of the day. Because I can't stress this enough, THE MOMENT I stopped talking Ill about me and saying nice things to myself whenever I caught myself saying things that disapproved of my self worth, I flipped the dialogue exactly the positive of that. And I promise you, each and every single time you do this, even the littlest of "flipping your internal dialogue" will build up to your confidence.
The moment I started doing this, my hair grew thicker, my skin got clearer, my confidence got higher, people started to complement my aura, even teachers were complimenting my beauty. I caught MULTIPLE men wanting to have a chance with me ( but I'm sooo picky of who I allow into my life and I'm gonna get to that on my next post) EVERYTHING started to align FOR ME as if life was happening THROUGH ME. animals started to love me more, my cats got closer to me, birds started to live with me, I GOT SPECIAL PRIVILEGES from around me. When I say FLIP YOUR INTERNAL DIALOGUE? I'm not even kidding guys. Even my grades got up!? TRY IT!!
Physical Health You've heard it before, but it cannot be said enough. Exercise 3/4 times a week to release endorphins and help regulate your mood. Stretch regularly to improve mobility and flexibility so even when you age you body will remain fit and healthy. Eat your fruit and veg to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs. Drink water every day, buy a cute water bottle to keep yourself motivated. Get eight hours of sleep to improve your immune system and concentration, I cannot express enough how crucial sleep is because while you sleep your whole body is busy healing and learning. Allow yourself to rest when you need it to try and avoid burnout. Keep on top of your personal hygiene (I will be posting a separate series on this)
Brain Health Eat foods that hep your brain such as oily fish, whole grains, berries, leafy greens. Your brain is the most important organ in your body so look after it! Practice concentration by meditation to improve your focus. There are loads of great apps for meditations such as headspace, or you could just find a YouTube video. Your time and focus is the most valuable thing you own but todays consumer-based society is destroying our concentration. Work to build it back up.
Attitude Trust me, don't surround yourself with toxic people. It is not selfish to cut off drama, you have to be your first priority. If you surround yourself with people who act badly you will act badly, your surroundings shape you as a person. Don't consume content that makes you feel bad. the TV you watch, the people you follow, the music you listen to, it all shapes your personality and mindset. Don't be afraid to block people, delete apps, follow other people, you control your intake, and your intake controls your output.

And
Hey guysss, I decided to write this post to motivate you a little.
I have finally experienced the void state/pure consciousness, for the first time!!!!!!!
(After more than a year!) And guess what? It happened when I wasn’t desperately searching for it! In fact, it occurred in a moment of complete relaxation, when I wasn’t even thinking about it.
After lunch, I lay down and let my mind wander with random thoughts (the famous distraction method). Then… I was there.
Not even half an hour had passed. And I remained in pure consciousness for many minutes.
I used to see it as something distant, mysterious, almost unreachable… but now, it’s no longer a mystery to me. I have experienced it. And honestly, I feel almost silly for having put it on a pedestal.
It’s just like when you learn something new: at first, it seems strange, then it becomes familiar, and finally, it feels natural.
The Void is our true nature! That’s why, in that moment, I didn’t even realize it. But I had already reached it.
And for me, that is a victory. A huge joy!!!!
This means that:
✔ I am capable of entering it.
✔ My subconscious knows how to get there.
✔ I can return anytime I want!
I was aware of the Void, but I wasn’t aware that I was there with intention.
Here’s what happened:
♡ I experienced the absolute peace of the Void (pure consciousness, formless awareness).
♡ I was present, but I didn’t "remember" to use it consciously to manifest.
♡ There was no specific intention, so I left without a visible 3D change.
⇉But now that I’m aware of it, next time, I’ll leave with my manifestations already realized!
In the Void, there is no waiting.The moment you think about what you want, it instantly becomes real.
Next time, instead of just letting myself be embraced by peace, I’ll have that little click inside me that says:"Hey! I’m in the Void! Now I choose my new state!"And then… BOOM 💥 reality changes instantly.(Most likely, you won’t see me active here on Tumblr anymore… because I’ll be too busy living my dream life!)
۵ I know many of you have already experienced the Void but didn’t recognize it at first. Don’t despair! Celebrate! Because this is the ultimate proof that YOU’RE ALREADY THERE!
In fact, it’s even easier now because we already know we’ve been there! It’s not something distant or complicated. It’s natural. It’s ours.
Even I, until it happened, didn’t truly understand what it meant to let go. I thought I had to "do" something, but instead… I did nothing.I simply relaxed completely.
⭆In the weeks leading up to this, I practiced SATS almost every day with affirmations like:
"I am already aware in the Void."
"I am pure consciousness."
And now I understand that this prepared the way for me to enter effortlessly. I love doing SATS.And I want to tell you: find the method that works best for you!The one that feels natural to you.➔Don’t get lost in complicated techniques or in what others say.For example, SATS has always been incredibly easy for me.And yet, for so long, I got lost in things like sleep paralysis or lucid dreams because I had experienced them many times… but they never really took me where I wanted to go.
♡𓈒 ཾ 𓈒ㅤㅤㅤㅤThe life of our dreams isn’t coming… IT’S ALREADY HERE. IT’S ALREADY OURS.ㅤ♡𓈒 ཾ 𓈒ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
I love you all! If you have any questions, ask them below! Kissss
