This episode is for everyone who wants to level up in every area of their life this year. I'll go over the seven non-negotiable things that you need to incorporate into your life to become the most dangerous and amazing version of yourself. Making these non-negotiables a part of your life will make leveling up inevitable.

There's a lot of talk on social media about being “that girl,” which often relates to a skincare routine or external appearance. In our community, we aim to not only look good but also to be strong in our mindset and possess emotional intelligence. As Dangerous Women, we represent the whole package. I'm going to discuss how to take the thoughts and ideas around being “that girl” externally and merge them with the elements necessary to be a Dangerous Woman.

Episode Highlights:

• [02:25] 1. Start incorporating a morning routine. Customize your routine to your life and where you are.
• [03:17] Slow down long enough to wake up and pray or meditate or journal. Have some quiet time to check in with yourself.
• [04:19] Get into the consistent habit of starting your morning more slowly.
• [05:10] 2. Move your body in some way. You don't have to take class or buy equipment, just move your body in a way that's fun for you.
• [06:23] 3. I want you to take the time, preferably, as part of your routine to journal.
• [07:02] Start making journaling and writing out your thoughts a part of your life.
• [07:43] Spend time asking yourself what's going on with you and how are you feeling.
• [08:02] 4. Eat in a way that nourishes your body and helps you with your goals to be healthy and strong.
• [10:04] You might need to prepare meals in advance, so you don't just grab whatever's available when you get super hungry. Do an evaluation of how you can nourish your body in better ways.
• [10:53] 5. Have a schedule. This is what you do 99% of the time on rotation. Following a regular schedule will change your life.
• [12:49] 6. Get a hobby that challenges you and forces you into discomfort. That puts you at a beginner level and requires you to think in a new way.
• [15:32] 7. Understand your money. Look at your money no matter how much or how little you have. Know what your numbers are.
• [16:27] We need to learn how to handle our money in a way that benefits us and our families.
• [18:14] Focus on these things and make them non-negotiables in your life.

If you've been struggling with your self-confidence lately, this episode is for you. This week, we're focusing on building self-confidence through our inner dialogue. By examining how we talk to ourselves, we can foster a more confident, resilient, and growth-oriented mindset, leading to an improved self-image.

In this episode, we'll explore several practical tips that you can apply today to boost your self-confidence. Remember, confident individuals are formidable. Even in moments of doubt, they know how to regain their confidence.

Don't underestimate the power of positive self-talk and the profound impact it can have on your life. Each step you take towards nurturing your self-confidence is a step towards unlocking your full potential

Episode Highlights:

• [03:25] 1. Start practicing positive affirmations. I don't mean fake it till you make it. Begin your day believing the words that you are saying in your affirmations.
• [04:13] Begin and end your day with these affirmations.
• [04:37] Think about what you wish was true about you. Take this thought and create "but" statements that will become your affirmations.
• [05:53] An example would be: "I feel like I'm not quite capable, but I'm taking a class and studying, so I feel like I know what I'm doing."
• [05:57] Combine how you currently feel, add a "but" statement, customize it, and take the action.
• [07:45] 2. The second thing I want you to pay attention to is challenging negative thoughts.
• [08:02] When you catch yourself engaging in negative thoughts, start challenging that inner mean girl. Ask if it's true and if you still want it to be true. Look for holes that you can poke in those negative thoughts.
• [09:00] 3. Using visualization. Daydreaming is an important skill. Start seeing yourself in the different areas of your life being successful. Use your self-dialogue for your good.
• [10:02] 4. Focus on growth and not perfection. Perfection is a way to protect ourselves from discomfort. Focus on things that help you grow, not be perfect.
• [12:48] 5. Surround yourself with positivity. Not just your inner self-dialogue but also the people around you.
• [13:11] Have a go-to friend that really pours into you.
• [13:34] If you're feeling stuck, look at who you spend the most time with.
• [14:19] 6. Practice gratitude and celebrate.
• [16:27] 7. Embrace self-compassion. We have such a tendency to be angry with ourselves when we're not where we believe we should be. Practice having the same kindness and understanding for yourself that you would offer to a friend.
• [17:39] Instead of beating yourself up for something, you can say "You're so cute."
