13 FANTASTIC TIPS TO LEVEL UP YOUR LIFE AND UPGRADE YOURSELF AS A LADY
-
WORK ON YOUR CONFIDENCE
It is no surprise that this is the first tip on my list of upgrading yourself. Confidence they say is the best outfit. When you rock it, you own it. Confidence serves as the cornerstone of self-assurance, and boosting it is a key step in elevating every aspect of your life.
To boost your confidence, you should…
a. Embrace positive self-talk
Embracing positive self-talk is your first secret weapon to boosting your confidence. Start each day with affirmations that celebrate your strengths and uniqueness. Tell yourself you’re capable, worthy, and fabulous, because guess what? You truly are!
The words we express or share with others possess the power to uplift their spirits or diminish their self-esteem. Similarly, we should be adept at speaking positively to ourselves, thereby elevating our own confidence to greater heights.
About the way we look, body positivity and self-acceptance go hand-in-hand with confidence. You cannot separate one from the other.
In society’s standard, a ‘fat’ lady does not fit into the ‘beauty standard’. This ideology is subtly thrown out there in the media, socials and everywhere you turn to.
But guess what! We’ve all come across plus size women with their confidence the size of a whale and supposedly slim women with their confidence as tiny as an ant.
It all boils down to ACCEPTANCE!
Embracing your body, flaws and all and recognizing that it tells the story of your own journey is the first step to your leveling up and upgrade.
b. Wear outfits that make you feel empowered and comfortable;
It’s about feeling great in your skin. I am a big fan of wearing outfit that makes you feel confident but comfortable.
With the rave of the corset outfit, a lot of women find themselves wearing them for the sake of trends and possibly peer pressure.
But of what use does it serve if you are more conscious of your outfit and how uncomfortable you might be rather than being the star of your own show.
I am in no way talking down on how amazing the corset fashion can make you ‘look’, but how about how it makes you ‘feel’.
Personally, the good feeling of wearing a corset dress always comes after a good photo session. When I see the well sculpt figure I assume in ‘Picture’, I feel happy, but in the moment of wear… ah ah! Anyways, I digress a little.
All I’m trying to say is to wear clothes that make you feel beautiful and amazing in your skin rather than conscious and less confident.
c. Be assertive
Cultivating assertiveness is another game-changer. Speak up for yourself, set boundaries, and voice your opinions. Remember, your thoughts and feelings matter just as much as anyone else’s.
Moreover, stepping out of your comfort zone is a confidence-boosting adventure.
Try new things, take risks and embrace challenges. Each step outside your comfort zone is evidence to your bravery and resilience.
d. Be a positive person
One thing that repels me so much is negativity. I’m sure it does same to you.
Have you ever come across someone who is so negative that they can’t seem to look past a simple hurdle and see some light ahead.
I always find myself clamoring for my freedom from such a company because guess what, it can rub off on you.
Surround yourself with positivity. Build a supportive circle of friends and mentors who lift you up. Positive vibes are contagious, and being around uplifting people fuels your confidence.
Boosting confidence isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade; it’s about embracing your worth and potential. It’s the catalyst that propels you toward success in your career, relationships, and personal growth. So, rock that confidence, and watch as the world responds to the empowered and confident you!
PERSONAL STYLE AND GROOMING
This article is getting juicer as we go right!
a. Your dressing style
To upgrade yourself as a lady, your personal style is your signature, a canvas where you paint your individuality. Elevating yourself starts with embracing a style that screams ‘YOU’!
Your personal style goes beyond what you wear. It encapsulates the way you smell, the way you walk, speak, and generally how you put yourself out there to the world.
To develop a personal style, start by discovering what truly resonates with you. Experiment with different styles, colors, and textures until you find what makes you feel confident and beautiful. Don’t be afraid to mix and match; after all, fashion is your personal story and you should create what feels unique and authentic.
Personally, to find my personal style, I made a mood board on Pinterest on styling that resonates with me. I didn’t just stop there; I took it a notch further to experiment until I found what works best for my personality and vision.
I went as far as looking for the kind of earrings that I love and even the hairstyle I love to wear. Be as intentional, detailed and specific as you can be, and have fun building your own style recipe.
b. Beauty and grooming routine
Your grooming routine is your daily self-care ritual. From skincare to makeup, it’s not about masking flaws but highlighting your natural beauty. Find products that work for your skin type and enhance your features, making you feel radiant from within.
Know your face shape and know what makeup technique enhances your beautiful features better.
Educate yourself on skincare products and know what each product does. If you are brave enough, you can experiment on a few and take note of what your skin loves.
This is how you can build in a solid and effective beauty regimen into your routine.
c. Choose classics over trends
Investing in timeless pieces is crucial for building a versatile wardrobe. Classic items never go out of style and can be mixed and matched with trendy pieces to create diverse looks.
If trendy fashion is your kind of thing, please don’t let me box you into the “classics”. The goal is to wear what makes you feel beautiful and gives personality to your style.
Remember, personal style isn’t limited to clothing. It’s also about how you carry yourself; with grace, confidence and a smile. Your demeanor is the best accessory.
Owning your personal style and grooming isn’t about meeting society’s standards, it’s about honouring your authenticity. Embrace your quirks, celebrate your unique taste and express yourself fearlessly.
Developing your personal style and grooming routine isn’t merely about appearances. It’s about self-expression and self-care. It’s about feeling empowered, confident, and comfortable in your skin. After all, there is nobody like you so stay unique.
3. MIND AND SPIRIT
To upgrade yourself and level up, you should nurture not just your appearance but also your mind and spirit. It’s like adding a touch of magic to your inner glow!
If your mind and spirit is troubled, you will have a hard time putting up appearance.
Although a lot of people have mastered the art of putting up a strong front, but on here we are all for wholeness and all-round peace.
a. Practice mindfulness
Start by practicing mindfulness and finding moments of peace in your daily routine. Whether it’s through meditation, journaling, or simply taking a stroll in nature, give your mind the rest it deserves.
Feed your spirit with positivity and inspiration. Surround yourself with uplifting books, podcasts, or affirmations that ignite your passion and drive.
b. Learn to manage stress
Managing stress is crucial. Find techniques that work for you. Practices like deep breathing, yoga, or dancing like nobody’s watching are proven tips to help you manage your stress level. Release that stress and feel the weight lift off your shoulders.
c. Embrace gratitude
Gratitude and thankfulness are your secret happiness potion. Take a moment each day to appreciate the small joys in life, creating a positive mindset that radiates outward.

d. Be self-compassionate
Practice self-compassion. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you would a dear friend. Accept imperfections, learn from mistakes, and grow stronger from every experience.
Forgive yourself from your past and learn from it to improve on your future. Move on from what you cannot change instead of beating yourself up.
Working on your mind and spirit is about nurturing the powerhouse within you. It’s about finding balance, feeding your soul, and feeling empowered from the inside out. So, ignite that inner sparkle, and let your mind and spirit soar!
