Build a Stronger Relationship With Yourself

Plan your week ahead, referencing your goals and intentions, and reflect on your progress. Consider using implementation intentions ('If X, then I will do Y') to solidify your commitments. Based on habit-building techniques, this action enhances self-trust and discipline.

“How are you ever going to truly trust and believe in yourself if you are out here waking up early doing favors showing up for everybody else in your life and yet when it comes to you you're hitting snooze you're taking the day off you're saying no I'll do it tomorrow.”

Step outside of your comfort zone by starting a new project, learning a new skill, or exploring a new environment. This action aligns with principles of growth mindset and promotes resilience.

“If you don't have a specific problem like I did discipline and self trust comes with putting yourself in new environments”

Take yourself on solo dates and engage in activities that bring you joy and validation. Incorporate self-compassion practices to enhance this experience.

“You are so concerned with being an amazing friend and amazing girlfriend and you know what I love that about you that is gorgeous but you also deserve the same amount of time and attention”

Learn to say no and prioritize your needs by setting and honoring personal boundaries. Reflect on the benefits of honoring boundaries. Reinforce these boundaries through daily practice, aligning with the principles of self-respect.

“When you were just floating through every single day you have no boundaries with yourself you are basically like I am going to procrastinate I'm going to waste all of my time”

Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations. Regularly practice and reflect on the impact of positive self-affirmations.

“All of those inner conversations you have with yourself have a massive significant impact on your self-image your self-concept and then your ability to actually move forward and make your dreams come true”

Observe your thoughts with detachment and choose to focus on positive and empowering thoughts. Apply mindfulness techniques to enhance the practice.

“Simply let them be and let them pass through with Detachment what this means is rather than choosing to automatically believe every single thought that crosses your mind you simply watch them come and go and you don't give them any power or any extra thought to think that they are an accurate representation of your self-worth or your self-concept”

Adopt the mindset that life is a game, where challenges are opportunities for growth and progress. Frame challenges as levels to be conquered, fostering a growth mindset.

“Everything that happens to me it's not happening to me I'm like a character in this life that has been given a certain mission to fulfill and a certain life path and purpose and with everything that happens to me whether it be good or especially bad is simply happening to allow me to progress to The Next Step”

Take responsibility for your actions and choices by asking yourself why you do what you do and identifying the root causes of your behavior. Apply root cause analysis techniques for self-reflection.

“Instead of actually taking accountability and studying the reason as to why you're doing that or what's causing that procrastination and that fear of failure that prevents you from doing what you say you're going to do instead you don't take accountability and you shift the blame”

Engage in self-reflection by looking at old photos, videos, or journal entries to connect with your inner child. Engage deeply with the memories and emotions.

“I cannot tell you how much closer I now feel with myself ever since connecting with my inner child so I've made a habit to regularly watch back home movies of when I was younger when I was a child”

Step outside your comfort zone by doing something that scares you, such as cooking a new meal, joining a class, or networking. Embrace the opportunity for personal growth.

“Do something that scares you to do something that keeps you outside of your comfort zone whether it's cooking a meal you never have whether it's joining a class whether it's networking whether it's meeting a new friend shooting your friendship shot online joining a dating app if that's what you want to do”
