BUILD YOUR RADIANCE TO SHINE LIKE A BOSS

We all want to transform into the most beautiful, fabulous, successful version of ourselves, but that kind of change doesn’t happen with just a few tips and tricks. A true radiance starts from within, so today’s post is all about how to be radiant from the inside out.


This is a lesson in improving ourselves and becoming a better version of ourselves. It’s about progress. So let’s level up and get radiant together.

Here are few ways to build your radiance




1. Change your self- talk and inner dialogue.
On average, we think 60- to 80,000 thoughts a day. How many of those thoughts are helping and how many are hurting us? Consider all the negative thoughts that cross your mind in a day: about yourself, about life, or about others.



Take note of the negative self talk like: “I look horrible today.”  “I’m so stupid.” “I can’t do this.”
For each negative thought, replace it with a positive affirmation that helps you build a positive mindset about yourself: “I am beautiful as I am.” “I am worthy and valuable as I am.” “I’m smart, and I can figure my way through this.”
Self confidence, self worth, and self love are interconnected with your self- talk. Watch what you say about yourself and make sure that you have your own back. Only choose to believe the thoughts that serve you. If any thoughts don’t serve you, choose to let it go.
Pro Tip: You don’t have to believe everything that you think. Thoughts are just thoughts! They come and go; you don’t have to hold onto them. Thoughts don’t have to mean anything unless you assign meaning to them.

2. Take the Mirror test
 Each time you see yourself in the mirror, smile and give yourself a compliment. Though this sounds so cheesy it is an effective way to build self acceptance, self confidence, and self love – which are absolutely foundational to living your best life.
Louise Hay calls this “mirror work” and says it is “the most effective method she’s found for learning to love yourself and see the world as a safe and loving place.” Start with a simple smile. See where your mind goes.
Are you judging yourself?Are you uncomfortable?What thoughts do you notice popping up?You’ll find that the mirror reflects back to you feelings you have about yourself. Later, you can practice reciting positive affirmations, complimenting yourself, and begin developing a more loving and supportive relationship with yourself.
Mirror work is going to feel weird at first, but this will help you get more comfortable with yourself,so you can build that confidence and self love. 
3.  Release your fear of judgment.
What so many of us struggle with is the desire to fit in, be accepted, and loved, which in turn cripples us with the fear of judgment from others. We are so afraid of what others think that it paralyzes us from being our true selves and pursuing what we truly want. The most freeing mindset shift that happened for me was to let go of caring about what others think, to release this deep fear of judgment. It’s infinitely better to live the life that YOU want for yourself,even if it’s weird or different from the norm, instead of living a mediocre safe life because you’re afraid of being judged.Be your authentic self, unapologetically, regardless of the opinions around you.And in the end, you’ll actually be loved for who you truly are
4. Heal – Mentally, Spiritually, and Emotionally
We all carry some sort of baggage with us. To build radiance into your higher self is to learn to let go of that baggage and heal from any past wounds. Maybe you’ve been carrying a lot of stress in your mind and  it’s built up over the years. May be you’re angry at life and little things make you tick, but that anger is rooted in a deeper trauma or childhood experience.
Ask yourself: Am I still carrying any resentment from the past? Any guilt?Any negative emotion I may have been suppressing?The key here is to look deeper. Give yourself all the time and space you need to heal. Emotions are meant to be felt. If they’re buried and suppressed, they’ll only manifest in negative ways for our mind, body, and soul. Take care of your emotions. Learn to express.Learn to forgive.Learn to let go.
These are deep lessons that may take a lifetime to learn. But you can start now. And if you do this, I promise it will be a major catalyst for building your radiance.
5. Say NO
Learn to say no with grace and gratitude. It’s okay to say no. It doesn’t mean people will hate you for it, or think you’re a horrible person.At this point, everyone understands that everyone is busy. We can only take on so much before we spread ourselves too thin. To avoid overwhelm, or finding yourself doing something you don’t really want to do, learn to say no. Only say yes if you feel it with your entire body that it’s a 100%  YES. If you have a “meh” response, just say no. Don’t feel bad. Remember: Saying no means saying yes to yourself, or yes to something better! And alsoyou don’t even need to find an excuse to say no. 
All you need to say is  “Thank you for the invitation,” or “Thank you for the opportunity. I’m not available.” Grace and gratitude means a lot more than you think.
6. Surround yourself with people who uplift you to be better
This words of Jim Rohn is the one you have to abide  "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”  Surround yourself with people who are better than you, who will push you to be better. You’ll learn and grow so much more in that environment so that you can build your radiance and thrive.
Remember you have the opportunity to create the life you want.
