My glow-up routine for the new year ✨
My glow-up routine for the new year ✨
☀️ Wake up at 7am
I’m a big sleepyhead so 7am is already super early for me. Even though I naturally love sleeping in, I’ve found it so rewarding to be able to wake up a few hours early and get a head start to my morning routine.
💦 100 oz of water
I find that I have so much more energy when I stay properly hydrated throughout the day. I feel my best when I’m drinking about 100 oz of water a day, and it helps when I have a water bottle that is convenient to use and that holds a lot of water.
✍🏻 Morning Pages
In the book, The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron encourages a type of writing called Morning Pages, where we write three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing in the morning. This practice has helped me clear my mind and spark wonder and creativity in my life.
💭 Work on content
I love creating content, but I often struggle with being consistent because creating content is hard work. It takes so much creativity, time, and energy, and I find it hard to prioritize it amongst other more chill and mindless activities. However, content creating is something I really want to do more, so I’ve made it a goal to work on my content every single day, even if I only do a little bit at a time.
🌲 Go on a walk
Going on a walk and breathing in the fresh air is the one thing that will always lift my mood and give me an instant refresh. No matter how stressed or stuck I feel, the moment I step outside, I feel so much lighter and tuned in to my mind, body, and soul.
🥘 Cook nourishing meals
Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed by the thought of cooking because I feel like I need to follow recipes to a tee and do everything perfectly. This year, my intention is to keep things simple and make adjustments as needed so that cooking can feel easeful and sustainable.

As we enter a new year, many seek fresh beginnings and a sense of renewal. A glow-up routine is not only about physical appearance but also about nurturing your mental and emotional health. Start your day early to harness the quiet energy of the morning. Aim to wake up consistently at a similar time, allowing yourself to establish a calming and productive morning routine. Staying hydrated—aim for 100 oz of water daily—can boost your energy and concentration, providing a solid foundation for a productive day. Incorporating mindfulness practices, such as 'Morning Pages', can significantly enhance your emotional clarity. This reflective writing technique, inspired by Julia Cameron's 'The Artist's Way', encourages free thought, helping free your mind from clutter and fostering creativity. Consider making a daily commitment to content creation, as it not only shows dedication but also enhances your skills over time. Creative expression contributes immensely to personal growth and self-discovery. Don’t underestimate the power of a simple walk outdoors. Engaging with nature can elevate your mood and reset your mental state, making you feel refreshed and connected. Lastly, when it comes to cooking, embrace simplicity. Focus on nourishing meals without the stress of overly complex recipes. Remember, it’s not about perfection but progress. Adjust your approach to cooking so it feels enjoyable, allowing for spontaneity while maintaining healthful choices. These elements, combined, can redefine your year and support a holistic glow-up that resonates with your true self.
these are super great!
