5 Powerful Tips to Evolve and Take Your Life to the Next Level!

"The whole point of being alive is to EVOLVE into the complete person you were intended to be."-Oprah Winfrey.

There comes a point in every woman's life when she gets a burning desire to evolve. You just know deep down inside that you were meant to do more to be more. It was 7 pm at night; I found myself on a park bench, contemplating the bane of my existence and how I had royally f***ed up my life!

Broken, depressed, a newly minted single mom with 5 dollars in my pocket—I thought, "Wow, so this is what rock bottom looks like!" Right then and there, I declared, "Enough is enough!" And I decided it was time for me to EVOLVE! Since that night in the park, I've been on a conscious journey to step outside my comfort zone, push my limits, transform my life, and, in the process...… become the best version of myself!

If you are reading this, I have one question for you….

Cuz, today I'm going to share with you the 5 tips that I used to EVOLVE my life!

Tip #1: Change Your Mindset

I became a victim of my life and everything that happened to me and with it was my inability to think, see or believe that things would get better or that I deserved better.  The past was in the past, and I didn't want to live there anymore! It was time for me to focus on rebuilding my life and charting a new future.

I decided that this time.... I am going to bet on myself! I started looking at my life through the lens of gratitude, positivity, possibility, and abundance. The moment I believed wholeheartedly that I could do better, I could be better and I had everything that I needed to succeed, is the moment that my life changed.

Hey Evolver! No one is coming to save you or fix your life, its all up to YOU! The only one that limits YOU is YOU!

Tip #2: Create A Vision Board

I am going to say this out loud for those at the back of the room! I wanna live a biggggg life! I knew the life that I didn't want; it was time for me to design the life that I truly wanted.  So, I created a vision board, but I didn't stop there! I didn't just romanticize my life; I used it as a daily reminder of what I was trying to build.

Psychology Today says that daily visualization work can increase motivation, confidence, and even motor performance. Stars like Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon boasted about vision boards being crucial to their success. I used my vision board reverse engineer my goals and the steps I needed to make my dreams a reality!

Hey, Evolver! You only have one life...so liveeee it! Create a big vision for your life and girl, go get it!

Tip#3: Find Your Ikigai.

One of my biggest challenges was deriving value and happiness from my job. I felt lost, stuck, unchallenged, and combined with everything I was going through, it led to bitterness. I had no drive; I was just going with the motion. I often asked myself, "Why am I here? What am I meant to do? What is my purpose?" On my quest to answer these questions, I stumbled upon the Japanese concept called Ikigai.

It challenged me to ask myself these four questions: "What do you love♥," "What are you good at"" What does the world need," "What can you be paid for?". Using this concept, I found my north star. This was an absolute game-changer for me. I was able to build a life and career that brought me joy while getting paid for it!

Hey, Evolver! Get aligned with your purpose! Your skills, gifts and talents should be making you money!

Tip #4 - Get Your Money Right!

Being broke and broken is never a good thing! Money problems will pull you down. Trust me, I speak from experience! It's hard to focus on evolving when you are stuck thinking about where your next meal is coming from. It's time to get out of survival mode! According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, you've got to take care of your lower-level needs before thinking about self-actualizing.

I was tired of my finances getting in the way. I needed to get a better hold of my money. I used Clever Girl Finance free financial resources, to help me create a budget and formulate a plan to handle my money situation better. Then, I put in the work to get out of debt and channeled my finances into achieving my goals!

Hey Evolver! Get in the driver's seat of your finances! Create a budget!

Tip #5 - Get Dressed!

Sometimes you lose yourself, you get caught up in the mundane nature of life and you forget who you are. Suddenly, how you look isn't important. Coco Chanel once said "Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman." It was time to reinvent myself! I took time to pour into myself! I changed my hair, my wardrobe, armed with my secret weapon Ms. Ruby Woo💄💄!! I was ready to take on the world!

One of the best Jedi mindset hacks that I can teach anyone is when you look good, you feeeeeeel good. I made a conscious decision to be authentically me! Glamorous, colorful, effervescent and ever present! The best version of me!

Hey, Evolver! Get up and get dressed! The world is waiting for you!
