It’s a not just a brand-new year; it’s a brand-new decade! So, if you’re like other women throughout the world, you’re probably trying to find meaning in the decade now gone and find purpose for the decade still to unfold.
It’s often joked these days that New Year resolutions are passé’ and big goals never materialize into real change so many women don’t even bother making any.
And, to add even more difficulty to the matter, many resilient women have lost the ability to be open-minded, brave-hearted, or able to carry a fearless approach to life. So, it becomes easier to give up before they even get started.
No matter why you have yet to accomplish the life and career you want, it isn’t always about what you do or don’t do.
You can have excuses or results but you can’t have both.
The success you want starts in your head. If you don’t genuinely believe you can do the things you want to do or become the woman you want to be, there’s a high chance you’ll prove yourself right.
No matter how much trauma, how many wounds or what resources you might be lacking, they aren’t the reasons you haven’t accomplished the goals and dreams that you’ve wanted for yourself. These are all things that have happened to you in your past but they don’t define your future; unless of course you let them.
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” ―Aristotle
The path to becoming your very best self is paved with bricks created by each and every life experience – the good and the bad.
Sometimes it isn’t easy to be sympathetic for yourself when you reflect on your own circumstances. However, you have lots to celebrate. Despite everything, you are willing to evolve and grow so that you can become the woman you want to be.
By taking just a few steps in your daily routine, you can achieve all of this and more.
Here are 4 Steps to Becoming Your Very Best Self
-
Embrace Your Life’s Unique Story
Who you are is a collection of every experience that you have ever had. Accept and celebrate who you have become despite where you’ve been, what has happened to you or, what you’ve done. Your resiliency and determination have proven that no matter what, you have the ability to turn lemons into lemonade no matter what.
-
Tell Your Inner Critic Where To Go
Sigh, that voice in your head has been telling you what you can and can’t do for long enough. It’s time to give it a muzzle and to replace that negative chatter with compassion and self-love. Let inspiration and motivation be the fuel that lights the flame under your butt from now on. Give yourself a break from that Inner-Judge.
-
Allow for Self-Importance
It’s time to put you first – your desires, your commitments, and your goals. It means taking the time that you need so you can step into your personal power, potential and purpose. It means lovingly and meaningfully becoming the creator of your own destiny.

Take Care of the Temple That Is You
We have one body, one spirit and one mind – our temple. They are designed to help us survive and thrive. Yet, they are our most neglected assets even though they are the most important. Fuel your body with good healthy food. Nourish your spirit with gratitude, kindness and forgiveness. Honor your mind by learning new things, getting enough sleep and staying active.
When you become your best self, you’ll attract all the things you are wishing to attract. You’ll become a magnet for better relationships, more money, a better career and a life you love.
