The Inside-Out Glow-Up

How to Stop Playing Small & Start Moving Like a Winner

There’s a difference between people who are just seen and people who are felt. The latter don’t beg for attention, they just walk into a room and shift the atmosphere. That’s the glow-up no one talks about—the kind that starts inside and radiates outward.

I thought a glow-up was about changing my hair, my wardrobe, my face. But what actually changed my life? My energy.

Here’s how I stopped playing small and started moving like the winner I was always meant to be.

Step 1: The Identity Shift – Becoming "That Person"

If you’re waiting for something external to confirm you’re important (money, attention, approval), you’ll always feel like something is missing. The glow-up happens when you wake up one day and decide:

I am interesting, valuable, magnetic—before anyone else says it.

I deserve to take up space and be seen.

I no longer play down my personality to make others comfortable.

Ask yourself: If I were already the most powerful, glowing version of me—how would I think? How would I move? What would I tolerate?

Then start acting like that.

Immediately.

Step 2: Unlearning Self-Sabotage & Small Energy

A lot of us were conditioned to be “humble,” to be “likable,” to dim ourselves down. But let’s be real—playing small has never helped anyone win.

Speaking softly so you don’t sound “too much”? Stop it.

Sitting back when you know you have something to say? Stop it.

Not going after what you want because “what if I fail”? Stop it.

Winners aren’t afraid to be seen trying. And trust me, people can feel when you doubt yourself. The second you start believing you belong in the spotlight, the world will reflect it back to you.

Step 3: The Energy Glow-Up – Embodying Unapologetic Presence

Confidence isn’t just posture or outfits (though, yes, those help). It’s the subtle way you exist that makes people remember you.

Speak slower. Move with certainty. Rushed energy screams insecurity.

Make eye contact. Like you expect people to listen when you talk.

Stop over-explaining. Say what you mean, then stop talking.

Carry yourself like you have somewhere important to be. Even if it’s just a coffee run.

People should feel something different when they’re around you. Like they just met someone important. Because they did.

Step 4: Raising Your Standards in Every Area

Here’s the truth: when you glow up internally, you’ll stop tolerating things that don’t align with your highest self.

Low-effort friendships? No, thanks.

Situationships with people who don’t see your worth? Not my vibe.

Doubting yourself before you even try? That’s embarrassing.

Once you start seeing yourself as the prize, the whole world starts treating you that way too.

Step 5: Moving Like a Winner (Before the World Recognizes It)

You don’t become magnetic, successful, iconic by waiting for permission. You do it by deciding:

“I’m already her.”

“I already have what it takes.”

“It’s just a matter of time before the world catches up.”

And then you start walking, talking, living like that’s the truth. Because it is.

The glow-up isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about uncovering who you were always meant to be.

So stop playing

✧˖° how to enter your next era like she would (because this is your season)

hey girlies, it's mindy here <3 and guess what?

it’s here. the season of reinvention. the kind of fresh start that smells like new perfume, feels like sun-warmed skin, and looks like a completely elevated version of you. you know that feeling? when your life is about to change, and you can feel it before it even happens? yeah. that’s this.

howeverrrrrr, your next era won’t just magically appear. you step into it. you create it. you decide that you’re not the same person you were in winter, and suddenly? you’re not.

this is your guide to entering your next era like she would. gracefully, intentionally, effortlessly. because this is your season. let’s make it a good one.

✧˖° ➼ 01. decide who you’re becoming

every new era starts with a decision. before you start buying new clothes or changing your routine, ask yourself:

who is spring-you? • what does she look like? how does she carry herself? • what does she prioritize? what does she no longer tolerate? • what kind of energy does she bring into a room? • how does she make people (and herself) feel?

you don’t need to have all the answers, but get a vision. because stepping into your next era isn’t about wishing you were that girl. it’s about becoming her.

💌 homework: write a “who i am becoming” list. every morning, read it and align your actions with it.

✧˖° ➼ 02. upgrade your routine like a main character

okay, let’s be real, if you’re still waking up late, scrolling aimlessly, and letting your day run you, then you’re not in your next era yet. A next-era girl moves with purpose.

✨ spring routine shifts that change everything:• morning air & sunlight first thing (no more waking up in the dark, scrolling your phone. get up. let the light in.) • romanticize your mornings. set the tone. music, skincare, something warm to drink. make it feel luxurious. • clear the mental clutter before you start your day (brain-dump your thoughts, plan your top 3 priorities). • move your body in a way that feels good (walks, pilates, stretching. something that makes you feel light and energized). • have a “main character” moment daily. a walk with your best playlist, a solo coffee date, a journal session that makes you feel aligned.

💌 homework: pick one thing to add to your morning routine that makes you feel like her. do it tomorrow.

✧˖° ➼ 03. let go of what doesn’t belong in this era

the quickest way to upgrade your life? stop carrying things that aren’t meant for you anymore.

what doesn’t belong in this season of your life? • self-doubt, comparison, playing small • people who drain you, situations that make you feel stuck • habits that keep you stagnant (procrastination, mindless scrolling, overthinking)

your next era requires space. clean out your physical space, your mental space, your emotional space. release.

💌 homework: do a “spring cleaning” of your life. unfollow accounts that make you feel less-than, clear out old messages, declutter your space. make room for what’s next.

✧˖° ➼ 04. refresh your aesthetic (because energy shifts deserve a visual upgrade)

listen, you don’t need a full wardrobe reset to enter your next era. but a small aesthetic shift? instant mindset boost.

✨ easy aesthetic upgrades that shift your energy:• a new signature perfume. something fresh, floral, clean. every time you wear it, you step into your next era. • spring-inspired outfits. soft colors, breezy fabrics, put-together but effortless. you’re that girl now. • elevated beauty rituals. glowing skin, hydrated lips, soft hair. not just for looks, but because you deserve to feel taken care of. • new playlist energy. your next era has a soundtrack. make a playlist that makes you feel untouchable.

💌 homework: change one small thing about your aesthetic this week that makes you feel like your upgraded self.

✧˖° ➼ 05. shift from waiting to creating

too many people sit around waiting for their lives to change. waiting to feel motivated. waiting for the right time. waiting for some external sign.

your next era doesn’t arrive when you feel ready. it arrives when you decide.

the energy shift happens when you start moving differently. • you stop talking yourself out of things and just do them. • you stop second-guessing and start trusting your instincts. • you stop waiting for confidence and act as if you already have it.

💌 homework: stop postponing something you’ve been waiting to do. book it, start it, commit to it. make it real.

✧˖° mindy’s personal tips (because this is your season, babe)

💌 energy is everything. walk into every room like you belong there. because you do. 💌 romanticize this reinvention. new season, new version of you. make it intentional.💌 start small but start now. one small shift today = a completely different life in three months. 💌 be delusional if you need to. act like your dream life is already happening. your brain will catch up. 💌 this is your fresh start. take it.

I am ready to give my all this exam season. I refuse to let distractions, self-doubt, or temporary setbacks hold me back. Every single day, I will show up for myself with discipline, focus, and determination. Success is about effort, consistency, and resilience. I will push myself to study harder, to understand deeply, and to prepare thoroughly because I deserve to succeed. I will not allow laziness or fear to take control of my mind. I will take charge of my own future, and I will prove to myself that I am capable of achieving excellence.No matter how hard things get, I will not give up. I will keep going, keep learning, and keep improving. I will manage my time wisely, organize my notes, and revise with full concentration. I will believe in myself, even on the days when things feel overwhelming. My hard work will pay off because I am committed to this journey. Every effort I put in today is building the success I will celebrate tomorrow. I am getting stronger, smarter, and more prepared with each study session. I trust in my ability to overcome challenges and come out victorious.This exam season is mine to conquer. I will not settle for less than my best. I will work with passion, with energy, and with the mindset of a winner. I am fully capable of excelling, and I will prove that to myself. I am unstoppable, I am powerful, and I am ready to achieve greatness.

HOW TO GET OUT OF A READING SLUMP

Inspired by how I'm currently trying to read again. 

START SHORTER. Try to read something manageable for you, and it doesn’t have to even be a full novel. It could be an essay on something that interests you or any short stories you find. Get into the habit of reading at your own pace, till you feel ready to take on something bigger. 

SET REALISTIC GOALS. Instead of wanting a goal like completing a book within a week, I would say 20 minutes of reading per day or at least 2 hours per week. You don’t have to track the time when you’re reading, but make mental notes of when you start reading and how long you read. 

EXPLORE. You may even be tired of reading certain genres, and not notice it. While in a slump, I would explore different books and see what interests me the most. For example, if you love reading romance books, try some action ones instead(or vice versa.)

REREAD FAVES. The familiarity of some books can help us get back into the swing of reading. Every time I reread a book, I always pick up on new details that I didn’t notice before. Reread one of your favourite books and try to spot details that you didn’t spot before. 

MAKE A LIST. Create a list of all the books that you want to read or reread. I feel like the process of seeing all the books you could, really encourages you to pick up that book. 

TRY A DIFFERENT FORMAT. For a lot of us, reading paperback or hard copy is the way to go. However, when I’m in a slump, I feel like opting for a different format helps me to get back into reading. For example, a digital book, or an e-book. (or vice versa)

READ IN A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. I love LOVE, reading in an actual library. It is not for everyone, but a change of scenery can help. Some ideas can be at a park, a cafe, beaches and or a nature trail. 

PAIR READING WITH ANOTHER ACTIVITY. Some examples are exercising, cooking, travelling/commuting or doing mindfulness activities. This is more for getting back into the habit, once you’ve got it again, I would say to focus only on reading.
