1. MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL GLOW UP
a) Reprogram your subconscious mind
It is time now that you finally are free from the vicious shackles of negativity, low self-esteem, limited self-belief, self-doubt, and lack of self-confidence.
But do not ever think it is your fault!
You are never to be blamed for your thoughts and feelings that are suppressed in your mind, or you may term it as the subconscious part of your mind. We are all programmed at a very young age by the society and surroundings that frame our thoughts and our present reality.
So to reframe any negative feelings or your present state first you need to change your thought pattern that you have been automated to think for a long time.
Only then you are free to create a beautiful life and have a glow up personality that you wished and prayed for.
Yes, I know you must be asking…..But How?
A few solutions to reprogram your mind are:
Journaling with Positive Affirmations:
Practicing daily journalling by writing out positive affirmations to have the right mindset can play a significant part in rewiring your brain to believe those positive statements.

It is quite natural that you lose your glow with the daily rush and bustle of life. You do need time off even a little out of your busy schedule dedicated only to your mindfulness.
Spare moments when you forget about that future and the long gone past. Just live in this present time that is NOW.
Being aware of your present settles some stressed unsettled feelings easily to give you a new glow up

b) Work on your fear
Fear is the most negative emotion that drags us away from living the life we have the potential for.
This potential is unlimited and infinite possibilities.
Like many of my readers, I too have my fears which sometimes come as a roadblock to knowing myself better and exploring my potential.
You can have fear about your past, future, people, situation or anxiety and stress about unforeseen circumstances in life. If you have the habit of living your life in fear then you must be missing out on beautiful things that are in your life.
Fear generally creeps into our mind and dissolves in every part of our body at a very young age when many people around us try to control us to conform to the ‘norm’ of this society.
To glow up as a new avatar today is the time to have the courage to embrace your fear that has been pulling the strings in your life from achieving your target.
Step into the uncomfortable zone of looking head-on with your fear you might come out as the sole winner with no one to

c) Control your Anger
Anger is a magnetic negative emotion that any person falls prey to very easily.
Unless you are that person who does not get angry at any moment, many of us likely get triggered by any words, or actions of a person, or any situation.
This tells our brain to get angry or become rude to that person or situation.
Ultimately this toxic emotion drains all your high vibrational energy leaving you confused and more stressed.
I also understand from my own experience that this tip of controlling anger is very easy to preach to others, but it is equally challenging to imbibe as a daily habit.
I too gave in to this bad anger emotion many times even after vowing myself to let it go. Until I found help from life changing good habits. They are,
A) Changing my mindset :
I have tried to alter my mindset by affirming positive statements to myself daily which helps me to have a mantra for controlling or standing strong in front of this negativity of anger and frustration.
What I used to feel was helplessness or weakness against any hurtful situation, mean words from toxic people or anything that makes me uncomfortable.
Saying or writing strong positive affirmations has helped me reframe my mind as I believe we become angry due to some type of insecurity in our life.
This may be due to self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or past hurtful events and people. So for a complete emotional glow up begin with curbing your anger first out of life.
Your mental health, cognitive function, and emotional balance will all work wonders to give you happiness and peace.
B) Write out your mind
If something is bothering your mind take a notebook and start writing your feelings on the paper.
Many times we are unable to understand the cause of our restlessness, anger, frustration or negativity, so why not transform yourself into written words?
I found immense benefit from this writing as it has helped me to understand myself when I fail to make myself understand my close ones.
After scribbling your heart out, you may find that whatever the reason for your anger was nothing of any importance to your life.

d) Take care of your words
Listen to how you speak to yourself and others. Devaluing yourself constantly with hurtful or negative words such as,
I can’t do this
I am not good enough
I am not that attractive
I don’t have a perfect body
I always try but ultimately I fail
These negative phrases will only leave you feeling sad and low in self-confidence.
Show love to yourself with positive habits. Because you are the person in your life who is responsible for your own happiness and respect.
Live for yourself first so that you can be able to pour your positivity into your near and dear ones’ lives.

e) Find your Passion
Explore those activities that used to give you immense joy and make you feel like a kid.
Remember those days when we all got lost in our world of creativity? Those acts used to give us a natural glow-up that formed our personality.
Find that passion or that “FIRE” that makes you completely forget all the stress, and anxiety and gets you focused on the beauty of creating new projects.
f) Surround yourself with positive people
To glow up your personality start by choosing to surround yourself with people who listen and understand you better.
Spend time with those loved ones who are trustworthy and never make you feel low about yourself.
Most importantly you feel comfortable expressing your clogged emotions to them without any doubt of being understood.
g) Cut toxic habits
Toxic habits make you unproductive and unhealthy in your daily life. This results in preventing you from reaching your life goals.
Make it a habit to slowly cut down your bad habits so that you can replace them with positive healthy habits that benefit you in the long run.

h) Pray
Pray and have faith in yourself and your prayer. Prayer has a power or a positive energy that helps to give us focus in life.
When you collect your mind into a center point of your inner self where you feel and see only that power to whom you are praying, you start to settle and relax. This helps you to glow up from your mind by removing any confusion or stress.
Praying does not mean when troubles knock at your door you will only then turn for help, but even in your happy times try making prayer a daily routine to focus yourself to connect your energy to that Supreme One.

Avoid suppressing your emotions with yourself. After all, we are humans and we all have various emotions at numerous times of the day.
It is quite natural that a person will only feel happiness 24 hours every day. So feel all those emotions that are trying to flow through you.
Keeping them locked in becomes unhealthy as those emotions especially any negative feelings may turn into something detrimental to your mental and physical health.

l) Spent time in nature
Many times we overlook that habit of going outside which is a very simple and low cost activity anyone can allow for a mental makeover.
Most of us are always on the go the moment we wake up in the morning. We are on tight schedules and cannot afford the minimum time to go for a small walk around our neighborhood or locality.
I too get clasped by this “cabin fever” often as I work from home and neglect the idea of getting that fresh air and sunlight.
But going outside even for a short walk or getting exposed to the sunlight changes your brain’s chemical setup making you freer and happier.
You will start to feel that inner glow after taking a stroll in nature and fresh air.
It immensely changes your daily mood making you more productive and gleeful.
m) Stop comparison game
For a complete glow up personality in your life stop all the comparison games sowed in your mind by yourself or society.
Comparing yourself with others’ life is futile as no two individuals are the same.
Avoid falling into the trap of the shine of the lifestyles of your favorite influencers. Try to be happy with everything you have and push forward to reach your life goals.
Focusing on yourself will improve your mental and emotional balance in the long run.
2. PHYSICAL OR EXTERNAL GLOW UP
Physical glow up
These are the physical glow up ideas and habits to adopt for a healthy and beautiful life:
Self-care ritual
Want to glow up your personality inside out then start your daily self-care routine. Taking care with self-care rituals is a holistic way to look after yourself for a complete glow up.
You might be thinking that self-care needs time and patience which are short in your life. But giving yourself a little bit of ‘me time’ dedicated only to yourself in a day is beneficial for your overall well-being.

Healthy diet
Unless you are aware of your food habits and choices, your glow-up routine for having a new bright personality is not fulfilled.
Have a healthy diet with food rich in all nutrients, and minerals that nourish your body from the very core and keep it going in a fine tune.
Avoid greasy junk foods, colas and desserts all the time and opt for more colorful vegetables and fruits with legumes and pulses, good protein for wholesome nutrition and health.
Too much processed food will become harmful to your skin and your body whereas clean whole food will give a shine and glow from inside and out.
Move your body
Get active and stay on top of your health with yoga and stretching. When those happy chemicals flow into your body it naturally makes you feel happy and this shows on your face.
Regular yoga makes you strong from the very core and keeps you balanced mentally and physically.
Yoga is the cure for all ailments in your body if practiced with dedication and patience. Yoga also has super power to prevent diseases.
If you are a beginner then try yoga and daily stretches by watching many YouTube videos which are devoted to beginners. With practice, you will feel a positive change in your mind and body.
Proper hydration
Take care of your water intake daily so that you never remain or forget to hydrate your system.
Whatever you drink is fluid in your daily diet but if you skip your clean fresh water then you are making your skin as well as your total health suffer.
Drinking water is very important for your glow up routine to reach a beautiful personality.
Take your supplement
Daily rushed life often makes us forget to have the right food which makes us healthy and wise.
But these shouldn’t be the excuse as you need to have proper nutritive input in your body system for balanced health.
Many of us women generally suffer from anemia, a deficiency of vitamins, and minerals, consult with your physician before taking any supplement to replenish your nutrition deficit.
Take a long shower clean up
Follow your glow up routine by taking a long shower and enjoying the moment in utter bliss.
Clean up with your favorite shower gel for a long time, shampoo your hair, and groom yourself after a long tiring week or day.
You may also add some light music that soothes your inner self while taking a hot or cold shower depending on your mood and choice.
It is time to relax your mind and your body to look and feel beautiful and fresh for a complete daily glow up personality.
Moisturize for skin glow
Time to take good care of the dry areas of your skin right after you have taken a shower with a good quality moisturizer. It is said that damp skin absorbs any skin lotion very easily, so enjoy the skincare routine along with a massage.
We generally neglect the areas of feet and hands, and take extra care for those areas as these limbs take most of the load all day for you. Moisturizing will make your skin feel supple with an added glow to it.
Put on the lip balm to soothe those chappy lips all day whenever you need it. Carry it with yourself anywhere you go so it always comes in handy.
Put on your SPF
Using sunscreen with high SPF or sun protection factor will decrease the chance of getting skin damage. Make sure to put on sunscreen while stepping out of your house.
You can easily protect your glowing skin from the dark patches or tan caused by the harsh ultraviolet rays of the sun by wearing spf.
Be comfortable in your skin
And finally for real glow up tips just be easy and comfortable in your own skin that you have been blessed with.
It is right to take good care of it as our skin is the largest organ with needs some tender loving care for repair and renewal.
But too much obsession over the skin and going crazy over all the artificial skin care products allured by the influencers over social media snatch away your mind’s peace.
Your mental health has a direct impact on your looks and outward shine.
Therefore, try to keep a fair balance that makes you comfortable and confident about yourself.
External glow up
Your external and outer world too play a pivotal role in determining how to live your best life. Check these external glow up tips below:
Tidy your space
Clean up the space where you stay, work and carry on living. A cluttered area disturbs our mind making us always anxious and stressed. Your productivity and the external glow of your personality diminish with seeing clutter around.
A fresh and neat home will always bring more good vibes and positive energy to your mind and body.
Putting everything in its place makes our mind orderly and helps to focus more on goals.
Reorder your drawers, and closets in proper order so that you can find things at the right moment without going stressed.

Have a budget
Now before you get me wrong I want to clear one thing. No, I a not asking you to live frugally for you to glow up financially. While it is great to live with an attitude of abundance but it is also smart to realize that budgeting is not living miserly.
Budgeting is practical in life to curb your useless expenditures and set yourself a sum of money that can be enough to make you fulfill all life needs. When you subtract your expenses from your income you reach a deficit or surplus.
