Pick a vibe and feel amazing all year. Here’s how…
A new school year holds so much promise, so much potential, so much new. Which is why *now* is the perfect time to start thinking about how you approach the next nine months. The secret to a seriously stellar year? Tapping into the exact vibe you want to embody, then channeling it every day.
Why choose a vibe? Turns out, it’s way easier to stick with an overarching concept or feeling than to set a specific school-year resolution or goal. Singling out *your* personal vibe can help you master the mindset you’re after: Consider it a blueprint on how to live, rather than a rule to live by.
Before you get bogged down by essays and problem sets, take a few moments to ruminate on exactly how you want to feel this year. The beauty of choosing #goodvibesonly is that ultimately, you get to decide how far and how broad you want to take your concept. Our recommendation? Identify the feeling you’re after, then start small with mini goals before working your way up to bigger, sweeping shifts.
Read on for six of our fave themed thought-starters, then make them your own. Note that you don’t have to reinvent yourself...but jumping into a fresh role (like trying out for goalie) will help you see yourself in a new way. And, it’ll get others to take notice, too. Who is that incredibly interesting girl rocking that killer presentation? Oh, yeah, it’s you!
THIS YEAR, I WANT TO FEEL…
HAPPY EVERY DAY
Kudos to Marie Kondo, founder of the KonMari method (a form of intentional organizing and tidying), for bringing joy back to our lexicon. But sparking joy can apply to so much more than socks and sweaters.
