My Fearless Magazine Tips on Re-invigorating Yourself!

We all have times in life when we feel a little “blah” about ourselves.  You aren’t necessarily unhappy, but you feel a little stale and unsure of yourself.  Your energy is low and you can’t quite put your finger on what exactly isn’t working.  No need to worry though!  Sometimes, it takes simply making minute changes to get your swagger back!  Incorporate these three tips to a better, more fulfilled you!

Get A New Look: Nothing makes you feel better and gives you a new burst of energy than changing up your look!  This time of the year is a great time to switch up your hair color or add a burst of color freshness to your wardrobe!  Live on the wild side with a new pop of color for your lips or a fiery nail design.  A lot of great and unique things are on trend this season and will add a little sizzle to your everyday look.  You’ll immediately start to feel better!

Try Something New: One of the best ways to get your ‘mojo’ back is to try something new!  Step outside of the box and get a little uncomfortable.  Take a fitness or art class.  Go to a play or take in an outdoor adventure.  The newness of the experience coupled with conquering something new will help boost your self-esteem and give you the ability to begin to see yourself in a new light!

Self-Evaluation: Learning to evaluate yourself can be quite eye-opening. You may not initially know what is stifling your progress, but taking the time to figure it out will be more beneficial than you know.  Think about your life and list the things that make you happy.  Also, list the things that aren’t making you happy or no longer benefit you and your life.  The key thing here is to let those things go.  Sometimes we hold on to things out of habit unaware that they are adding to our misery.  It may not be spring cleaning season, but it’s always the right time to get out with old and in with the new!

Fearless Tips- Tips to Keep You From Losing Yourself!

If you’re anything like me, you overextend yourself.  You can sometimes find it difficult to say “no” and end up putting your personal issues and tasks aside to help others.  Though being the “go-to” person feels great and has it’s benefits, you may find yourself completely lifeless and emotionally drained.  You must know this: there’s a way to be there for people without completely losing yourself!  Follow these tips to

Boundaries: You must set boundaries.  Boundaries are important because they set the tone for how things are going to go, and also teach people how to treat you.  You don’t have to let people walk all over you with their requests.  Learn to be of service, but keep ridiculous demands at bay.

Just Say “No”: One of the biggest things you can do for yourself is to learn when to say “no.”  You can’t be everything to everybody and you most certainly can’t be helpful if you’re stretched too thin.  You’re going to have to be comfortable with denying some things and people and not allow the guilt of your “no” to overtake you.  

Put Your Requests First:  It’s so easy and natural to drop what you’re doing and help someone with their needs, but unless it’s an emergency, it can wait.  If you make a habit of pushing your things aside, subconsciously, you’re saying that your needs aren’t as important as everyone else’s.  Never neglect to complete your tasks.

A little “Me” Time: Whether it’s a drive alone, or a euphoric spa experience, do what you need to do to refuel yourself.  Sometimes, it may even entail meditating in a quiet space, prayer, or simply shutting off your phone for a couple of hours.   Whatever you need to relax and refuel, take the time to do it!  The better you are to yourself, the better you can be for everyone else!
