So many people have asked me how I was able to “Glo,” so I thought I could give out some tips that have helped me throughout my journey: 1. Self-Love Self-Love is underrated and so important in the process of gloing. It’s not always easy to love yourself fully and completely, but once you figure out how, you will be able to muster up confidence that will have you still fucking with yourself even when everything isn’t perfect. Go about your day knowing that you are a person worthy of love and respect, and that diminish your purpose. You are the only person who owns your mind, body, and soul, and like everything, they prosper with love. 2. Self-Care Another thing that tends to be joked about is “treating yourself.” We tend to say these things, but then engage in things that are unhealthy. When it comes to food EAT THINGS THAT WILL NOURISH YOUR BODY. I can not stress that enough. It’s okay to indulge in unhealthy things every now and then, but fill your diet with fruits, veggies, protein, and drink water (work up to a gallon a day.) Unhealthy foods tend to weigh you down and make you feel sluggish. When your diet becomes fresher, you feel lighter and more enabled. Not to mention you’ll smell better too. (Toxins are often found in many unhealthy foods we eat which expel from our skin and don’t smell the best!) Of course work toward getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night, wash your face, brush your teeth, wash your hands, do your hair, clean/ clip your nails, and trust me you’ll feel a lot fresher. Your body will thank you. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day as well! People tend to think exercise is draining, but when you work your way up to a goal, it becomes easier and even fun! You’ll want to exercise every day. You only have one body; take care of it. 3. Self- Indulgence When I say this, I don’t mean to be conceited. What I mean is do things for you sometimes. Many of us tend to do a lot of things for the sake of others, but forget about ourselves, and that’s not fair. Take a day to do what you need to do to clear your mental space, to rid yourself of underwhelm. Read your favorite book, bake a cake, take a walk, hell, sleep! You are a person, too, and deserve moments that are strictly for yourself. Don’t run on E, your body won’t respond well and push you to do unhealthy things. This piece also includes my make-up wearers. Obviously I’m wearing make-up in the bottom row of pics (but trust me, I still look and feel a lot better than the top row lol). 4. Self-Patience Go easy on yourself. Take your time. All good things come to those who work for it, but also do it on the universe’s time. Everything you work for won’t come in a day’s time. My “glo” took me around eight years. It wasn’t fast and it wasn’t easy, but don’t rush it. You’ll miss out on the key components that make up your newer self. The process is about learning and growing as well. Take experiences and shape yourself with them. Don’t take them, whether their good or bad, for granted. All in all, the “glo” process is not about what you see all the time, but what you feel. You will feel stronger, smarter, more confident, prouder. Your head will not be held high because of your physicality, but your mentality, your spirituality. Your soul will feel better, and that’s what I think glo’ing truly is. Both your body and character will reflect that. This has been another post of “Dimps’ Tips”! I hope I was able to help you all some! reblogging again for the steps of the GLO UP Believe in the Glo -- source link
