How to Glow Up Before Summer: The Identity Shift That Changes Everything

Let’s get real: if you want to glow up before summer, it’s time to shift your reality—and it all starts with your habits. This isn't about a quick fix or a 3-step aesthetic routine. This is identity work, and it's the foundation of long-lasting change.

You Are Your Habits

Pause. Look at who you are right now. Not in the mirror, but in your micro-actions—your thoughts, your routines, your automatic decisions. Those little moments? That’s you.

Now visualize the version of yourself who already has everything you're manifesting:

  • The glow up.

  • The dream body.

  • The magnetism.

  • The summer 2025 reality you crave.

That version of you? They already exist. So ask: what habits does that person have? What do they not do?


Create Your Alter Ego (Yes, Really)

This is where identity shifting becomes powerful. Create an alter ego. Give them a name, a style, a playlist. This is your highest self—the person who glows with ease, who moves with purpose, who says no to anything that dulls their light.

Journal time:

  1. Write everything about this new identity.

  2. On a new page, detail your current self’s habits, patterns, and mindset.

  3. Cross out the habits that no longer align.

  4. Circle the habits of your higher self.

  5. Commit to living as this new identity starting tomorrow.


How to Glow Up: Embody the Energy—Now

Wake up tomorrow and act as if. Pretend you're in a movie where you play your glow-up character. Walk like them. Think like them. Make decisions like them. Feel their confidence in your skin.

This isn’t faking it—it’s becoming.

✨ Remember: You don’t wait to become her. You be her now.


Pretend to Be Until You Are

Just like falling asleep—you pretend to sleep and suddenly, you're out. That’s exactly how manifestation works. Pretend to be your new self long enough, and it’s no longer pretend. It’s your default frequency.

The glow-up isn’t a destination. It’s a decision.
