What Does It Mean To Glow Up?

So what does it mean to glow up anyway? Glowing up is taking inventory of yourself and making changes that you feel are necessary to help you be the best version of yourself.

Over the past couple of years, the “glow up” trend had gotten a bad rep for focusing solely on outward appearance.

Although “glowing up” can include changes in your appearance, a true glow-up should be about the whole person inside and out and help you take realistic steps toward being the best version of yourself.   

At What Age Do You Normally glow Up?

A glow-up can occur at any time in a person’s life. Whenever you decide you want to act in your life and improve yourself in any way, you are “glowing up.” Your glow-up is unique to you.

There are no set ages to glow up, and you may have several glow-ups throughout your lifetime, which is perfectly normal. Change in life is inevitable, and we must change with it.

How to Glow Up?

You’ve committed, and now you’re ready to glow up, so where do you begin? The decision is yours whether you want to start working on yourself mentally, physically, or vice versa.

The biggest obstacle in glowing up is getting out of your way and acting. Maybe you want to work on healing from trauma, or perhaps you want to lose weight and improve your wardrobe.

Whatever your glow-up means, mastering these seven easy steps will help you along your glow-up journey.

In your glow-up journey, you will need stability and reassurance. Creating a routine for yourself will be key in this process.

Making an easy-to-follow routine for yourself will make you accountable for accomplishing your goals. For example, if one of your glow-up goals is to eat healthier and get into shape, setting aside time throughout your day to prepare healthy meals and schedule workouts will be essential in helping you achieve that goal. So, get into the habit of creating a healthy routine for yourself and see the magic happen.

This tip is the easiest way to take charge of your life. I am not a morning person by nature, but because it helped me along my glow-up journey, I highly recommend it.

Waking up early gives you an advantage over your day. You can accomplish more than the average person who sleeps in before noon.

Have you ever heard of the Beyonce effect? Like Beyonce, we all have 24 hours a day, and I am sure Queen Bey rises early and grinds.

So, try waking up 5 minutes earlier every day, then increasing it to 10 minutes, then 30 minutes until you can get up 1 hour earlier than you usually rise. It’s a game changer.

Make your bed

One thing that helps me helps reduce my Anxiety is through making my bed every morning. Completing this simple task helps me prepare for my long day and has subconsciously communicated that I can take on anything that this day throws my way.

It helps me feel accomplished and disciplined. If you can commit to doing such a mundane task first thing in the morning, what’s stopping you from completing more meaningful tasks throughout your day?

Think about it scent plays a huge role in our behavior. Smells can trigger emotion and memories, so you must consider those aspects when searching for your signature fragrance.

Are you attracted to scents that are fun and flirty or warm and sultry? Selecting a signature fragrance helps you become memorable. One of the best compliments you can receive is that you smell nice.

This type of compliment gives me a boost of confidence that I love. If you need help getting started, check out two of my most complimented fragrances, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and Gucci Bloom.

Living a busy lifestyle is challenging. Whether you are a student or working full time, trying to find time to eat is hard enough, and then trying to eat healthily makes it even harder. However, making smarter food choices will benefit us long term.

Healthy eating helps get us through the day and eliminates those empty calories we don’t need. Eating healthier improves your mood and skin and aids in weight loss, which helps in the glow-up process.

Meditate/Pray

Meditation and prayer have helped me a great deal in glowing up. Taking the time to be silent and connect with yourself helps provide clarity.

Deepening your connection to the source allows you to manifest your dream life. Through prayer and meditation, things will naturally draw to you because you are aligned and at peace with yourself.  

Conclusion

Hopefully, as you have read through this list, you have found some helpful ways to get started with your glow-up. There is no right or wrong way or age limit to glow up.

No matter who you are, creating a version of yourself and being happy with who you are inside and out should be your biggest motivation.
