The Girl Boss Lifestyle

Do you sometimes feel like you are not accomplishing your goals? Is your everyday routine feeling dull? Do you want to become a better version of yourself for the new year? Reasons to become a Girl Boss include: boosting your self-confidence, setting yourself up for success, and creating a positive aura around yourself.  

Becoming a Girl Boss involves gaining a new perspective on your life and self-worth. Here is a list of things you can do to become your own person:

Build your confidence and self-worth

Confidence is key to a woman’s success. Knowing who you are and being happy with yourself is the first and most important step to becoming a Girl Boss.  Many girls struggle with self-confidence and this transfers to how they feel and how they present themselves. Many receive exceptional opportunities, but they turn them down because they unnecessarily doubt themselves.  Making yourself feel a lot smaller and less powerful than others is the biggest challenge to becoming successful and achieving your goals.  

Starting with positive self-affirmations everyday is a great way to boost your confidence. Sit and look at yourself in the mirror and say out loud all of the characteristics you like about yourself.  

create and set your own personal goals

A Girl Boss is ambitious and determined to achieve what they want in life, but it is important to remember that success starts out small.  You will spread yourself thin doing too many tasks all at once, causing you to be less productive, thus slowing down your progress (also known as Shiny Ball Syndrome).  Breaking up your goals into smaller sections is the best way to achieve your biggest aspirations.  To avoid feeling overwhelmed, it is ideal to focus on one task at a time.  Write them down either in a journal, diary, or notebook to have a more organized overview of your goal(s). 

start journaling

People with the Girl Boss mindset pave a clear path for themselves and have a stable foundation to build on. Journaling is a way to understand yourself better, as well as your feelings and desires.  Writing down your thoughts and feelings on paper will help declutter your mind, make many aspects of your life clearer, and help you release any negative energy in a healthy way.  Grab some colorful pens, papers, scissors, stickers, and anything else you would like to use when journaling!

physical activity

Exercise is not only important for your physical health, but your mental health as well.  Getting a great workout daily builds your persistence and improves your self-discipline, which are two very important qualities in a successful person. It is hard to push yourself to exercise everyday, which is why getting physical activity each day is so important for building endurance for everyday life. So block out time for getting some physical activity every week. Some fun suggestions include doing yoga, taking a dance class, gardening, strolling around your neighborhood, or even learning a new sport! 

Be consistent

Consistency is the last step towards becoming a Girl Boss. Be consistent with all of these steps to become a better version of yourself! Practicing these steps everyday can get you to build better habits, a healthier way of life, and guide you towards a more successful lifestyle.  

To make it easier for yourself, again, you can start out small by doing one or two of these activities in your daily routine and add more as you go.  Becoming a Girl Boss is about being able to take the first steps to develop a strong and empowering mindset. By developing this type of mindset, you will gain the necessary tools needed in everyday life such as personal stability, self-assurance, and endurance.
