I think we've all searched for glow up videos on YouTube or tiktok at one time or another, trying to change our appearance to better fit into the 'beauty standards'. What I have personally learned over the years is that a glow up starts from within. If you hate yourself, even a new haircut won't do you any good. For that reason, here are my 5 favorite tips for a mental glow up.

discipline over motivation I know, often people in the selfceare community talk about taking time for yourself, applying face masks, taking bubble baths and so on. But taking care of yourself and nurturing yourself also means working on your goals with discipline. Even if I don't feel like doing sports today, I do the workout because I'm doing something good for my body. This doesn't only apply to sports, but also to schoolwork, I don't procrastinate and divide my time wisely to save myself stress later.

vision boards I think this point is self-explanatory. Creating vision boards is not only fun, it helps us visualize our goals and motivates us to work towards them. I love creating vision boards. On my vision boards I put everything from professional goals to goals about my appearance, fashion, hobbies and social life. I can recommend you to use not only instagram and pinterest for mood boards but also google. Look at fashion shows, online magazines, etc., because these posts are not already filtered by your algorhythm on Pinterest and you can discover new aesthetics and whatnot that you might not have found otherwise.

new hobby Having a hobby not only allows you to express yourself in a sporty or creative way, but it also makes you more interesting. First of all, if it is a hobby that you do in groups or associations, you can easily meet new people and increase your social circle, but it also gives you topics of conversation in other situations, such as dating.

create a morning and night routine for yourself I know, especially when you are in a funk and not doing so well mentally, it is often hard to perform routines. But you don't need to get up at 4am, then go to the gym, clean the house, meditate, journal and then read a book. Particularly when it's a little harder for me to stick to my routines, I pick the three to four most important things. Mostly for me that's yoga, my Shower and SkinCare routine and a healthy breakfast.

meditation Meditation has many proven benefits including stress management, self-awareness, improved mood, creativity, and imagination. It is an amazing way to connect with your soul & practice self-care. On Youtube there are guided meditations for any different topics: to relax, to manifest, for beauty, motivation and so on… I promise you 10 minutes of meditation a day for a month will make you feel more relaxed and confident. If you use meditation for manifestation it can also help you to focus on your goal.
