𝐬𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 *𝐢𝐬* 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
according to wiktionary..
Noun
glow-up
(plural glow-ups)
1. The complete transformation of a person's
appearance for the better
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
but, im going to rephrase it, and make my own definition. a glow up,as said above, is a transformation for the better. but, not just physical. during this transformation, you may change your attitude, bad habits, start a new activity thats beneficial for you, for ex.
its a complete detox.
id like to separate this into 4 focuses: your mental health, your physical health, your appearance and your habits.

this is a big topic and it can mean so much to different people. your mental health impacts your whole life, in ways you probably didnt even know. so, i feel like tackling this first would be a good step into kickstarting the process.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
1. recognise where you are at
on a scale of 1-5, 1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest, where would you rate yourself?
if you cant get a clear view just by thinking, maybe track your moods and habits for a day, analyse it, and make a judgement from there. look out for how youre eating, your sleep patterns, thoughts, and any habits you might have.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
2. find options to change/help
try and start sleeping half an hour earlier. eat a portion of fruit a day. something little, but beneficial for the problem you've found. dont forget to congratulate yourself too!
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
3. surround yourself with good people
if you are recovering from something, surrounding yourself with positive, non-toxic people will benefit you immensely. i find that my friends bring up my mood with them, and motivate me to be the best i can.
(make sure to meet with them, dont isolate yourself!)
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
4. get help
if your '1' or '2' is very serious, you might like to get help. professionals know what they're doing, its worth it.
if you would like to speak to someone immediately, im currently working on a wiki list of prevention lines for every country. its not completely finished yet, but it shouuld be up pretty soon. ;)

your physical and mental health walk hand in hand. when one is good, the other is benefited too. so what harm can being healthy do?
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
1. eat fresher food
in modern day countries, a lot of our food is processed, full of fat and useless ingredients. so why not try making your own meals? its rewarding, and better than ready-made food, since you KNOW whats going into it. i love making stir fry. :heartpulse: :heartpulse:
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
2. drink your water
this is hard to get into the habit of, i know myself. but, its essential that youre atleast drinking 1.5L a day. your body needs it to function, and you'll feel fresher for doing it.
if you really struggle with getting your water in, the app 'plant nanny'. it sends reminders for you to have a drink, which in turn, when you track it, waters a virtual plant. i could see it being helpful.
(i may or may not have killed my plant..)
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
3. do some light exercise
no, i dont mean jump straight into an hour a day, everyday. if you have a pet, even taking it out for a short walk would be enough. being cooped up in your room all day wont benefit you at all.

your appearance is what people first see of you, and what people can base their first impressions on - especially at the start of the year.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
1. personal hygiene
this shouldnt really need to be said, but its important that you are clean and fresh. this includes everything, such as having a skincare routine, brushing your teeth, showering, and smelling nice. it makes you a lot nicer to be around.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
2. try something new with your clothes/hair
nowadays, i feel like we can be too safe. we stick with things that work for us. so maybe try a new hairstyle, or put together a new outfit. its something new, and could maybe boost your confidence.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
3. to not obsess over it
in the big picture, your appearance does not really affect anything. its what you do and say, that makes the real difference. beauty comes from within 🕊

nows the time to fix any unhealthy things that you may be doing, such as thinking patterns and actions.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
1. find out whats healthy and whats not
the first step in changing something like this, is to recognise what *needs* to be changed. some things could include: cracking ts, biting your nails, or thinking badly off instinct.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
2. try and prevent it
instead of doing it off instinct, try and change how you react. this requires a lot of work, but being more conscious of what youre doing can help you snap out of habits. for example, if you usually bite your nails, you could sit on your hands as a reaction instead. this does need a lot of self-discipline, but if you are dedicated, itll pay off.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
3. keep at it
you cant expect something like this to change overnight. the hard part is longevity. did you know it takes 3/4 weeks for a habit to break? good luck, you can do it! :heartpulse:
