Treat Urself First & The Universe Will Reciprocate

Hello #GloGetter !

Hope you are having a wonderful day. Today’s post is all about how I manifest more abundance and softness into my life by showing myself the treatment and lifestyle I want the universe to show me.

These are all things I do regularly that the HDGIC (Head Delusional Girlie in Charge—aka My Mom) taught me firsthand. Some of these things will require some nerve and a step outside of your comfort zone, but I promise any of them can be achieved without having to break your bank. Because I know, being a princess ain't cheap!

1. Tell Yourself That You Belong in Any Space You Wish to Be In.

If having a luxurious and soft life is something you wish to have and is a lifestyle you are aspiring to embody, the time to start is now. The first step to this is by showing yourself that what you want, you do deserve. It can be challenging facing our self-limiting beliefs about who we are and what we deserve head-on, but this is an essential first step to evolving into a new woman and going after YOUR vision. The universe put it in your heart because it is something you are worthy of. Remind yourself of this when you enter the following spaces below.

2. Window Shop at Your Dream Stores.

In the slides, I mention window shopping at fashion-specific stores, but this can be anything. If you love luxury home decor and envision a home that’s all CB2, walk into CB2 and imagine you are making purchasing decisions for that home. Speak with a sales representative and try out sofas, and beds, and even review the fabric swatches on curtains. Whatever your heart desires. As long as you are friendly, generally mindful of their time, and respectful of the space, this is not nearly as intrusive as it may feel. Even though you realistically may not be financially prepared to make the big purchase you wish you could, you are still a valuable customer in the store’s eyes. Window shop all day long if that’s what it takes. This you can do at any store and even online by filling up your dream cart. Just be sure not to accidentally press “check out” and buy everything. My little brother told me he did this with his mom’s credit card on a $900 pair of sneakers the other day… Not sure if I believe it was really an accident, but just know it’s possible. Be careful in these carts, ladies.

3. Take a Stroll or Ride Around the Nicest Neighborhood in Town.

Do you have a neighborhood in your town that’s lined with ridiculously beautiful (and pricey) mansions? Ever dreamed of living there? Who says you can’t! Maybe not right now, but what you can do is casually explore the area (no trespassing, of course, lol) and imagine that you do. Or that you are purchasing a home there soon. This is such a wonderful way to normalize yourself in places of luxury and envision yourself in the kind of spaces you’d like to be. If it’s easier, you can always do this on Zillow or any real estate site. Maybe your dream neighborhood is 3,000 miles away… No worries, take it to the web and window shop for the overpriced homes you wish to own one day. This is completely innocent, though doing it will feel so good it may make you feel guilty. Abandon that guilt and remind yourself that these desires are yours for a reason. You deserve it! (If I haven’t said that enough.)

4. Treat Yourself to The Nicest Restaurant/Cafe in Town.

Stop waiting on that dream date or GNO to visit that restaurant you’ve been dying to go to. There’s nothing stopping you from putting on a fancy gown/outfit and taking yourself. Maybe your budget is kind of tight and you’re not able to buy a full-course meal… That’s okay! Grab yourself a seat at the bar or a table for one and order something small. It may feel strange to do such a thing in a fancy restaurant, but people really don’t care as long as you’re spending a little something. This is your moment to soak in the environment and enjoy that experience for yourself.

5. Send Yourself Cute and Corny Gifts.Mini story time moment: The picture of the heart balloons is actually from a time I got myself flowers and balloons for Valentine's Day. I was single that year, and I really hoped someone would come out of the blue and do that sort of thing for me. Rather than setting myself up for disappointment, I just did it for myself, and waking up to that little gift every day for the next week made me feel just as good. Of course, it’s nice when someone else gifts you something, but who says you can’t do for yourself what you wish others to do? No one! This is such a cute and fun way to honor yourself the way you may wish others would. This sort of gift-giving tradition can look like anything as well. You can do it once every blue moon or once a week. You can do it on holidays or on a random day if you please. You can go huge or go small and meaningful, like writing yourself a sweet letter. It’s up to you how you use sentiment to remind yourself that you are loved and celebrated by the person who matters most in your life.

Like I said, trying some of these things may make you feel silly or nervous, but I promise they are so rewarding when you just commit. Manifest the woman you’d like to become by embodying her now.

Waiting on the universe to answer your prayers may only result in more waiting.

Take action now and choose you!
