Hustle. Bio-Hack. Girl Boss. Locking in. No days off.
The world is obsessed with pushing the narrative of becoming a better version of yourself. Who wouldn’t want to be the highest, best, most accomplished human in the room?
The problem is, if we are always seeking a better version of ourselves — are we ever really present?
But Lacy, don’t you push people to do self identity work? Aren’t you part of the problem?
Self identity work and quantum alignment should enhance your life. It should be used as a tool to enjoy your life.
The moment self improvement took over our lives, we lost the plot. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
Here are three beautiful, silky-soft ways to gently elevate your life.
1. we are no longer multitasking.
We are all trying to make the most of our 24 hours by being as efficient as possible. Habit stacking may have a time and place (example: meditation paired with red light therapy), but generally speaking - focus on one task at a time. The brain has to rapidly shift back and forth, which expends more mental energy than necessary causing stress and a job not done to your best ability.
This goes beyond our to-do list.
We are so dopamine-hungry, we often times are scrolling our phones while watching a tv show, while snacking. If we aren’t multitasking to get things done faster, we are doing it to numb out.
Make a new habit - one task at a time. This will feel extremely uncomfortable at first. Resist the urge to focus on more than the activity in front of you.
2. self-care is sexy as hell.
The hottest, coolest people you know are individuals that put themselves as a high priority. Part of becoming your highest self is recognizing that you are your greatest project.
Self-care is not meal prepping when you’re exhausted — it’s recognizing when you need rest, it’s taking the time to do makeup and nails because it makes you feel like you’re that bitch, it’s putting together a Spotify playlist that puts you in a flow state and it’s making time to read a book with a hot cup of tea.
3. make time for creativity.
What does watercolor painting or sewing a skirt have to do with elevating your self identity? It has everything to do with it. Each time you create and complete a project, you’re proving to your subconscious and the universe that you can take thought to physical reality.
Therefore, the more creative you are — the quicker you are actively changing your self identity. You are showing the universe that you are the author of your life and you truly have agency over your life. You don’t wait for good things to happen to you, you create them.
