what's up guys welcome back to my channel I hope you're having a lovely day today and I hope it gets even better from watching this video today I'm so excited about this video because I'm going to be doing this challenge also and I'm just like so inspired and motivated and pumped so the challenge is a one monthlong kind of self-isolation period where we're going to be hyper focused and fixated on our Dream Life on our goals so you can come out of this month feeling like transformed and like oh my God I got this I
can like make things happen for myself and that just feels so empowering and amazing and it gives you confidence like it's just the best feeling ever I thought this would be a great time to do it because if you start tomorrow you basically almost have a month a little bit less until the holiday so you can really focus on yourself and feel amazing and accomplished and confident and powerful and then you can walk into the new year feeling like you got this so yeah I've got 10 tipss and tricks to kind of have this amazing
transformational month of course self-isolation sounds very extreme and I don't mean you're going to be locked in your room by yourself 24/7 for a month no we want a little bit of a balance but because you are going to be focusing on yourself so much and that will be a month of you and your goals you of course have to make some sacrifices like that's just how it goes you you can't put your focus everywhere so this is really a time where you're going to take a few of those things and people that don't encourage
you and help you a little bit on a back burner okay and you're going to focus on you and feeling amazing and of course we'll cover all about how to do this don't you worry before we get into the video though if you're new here hi I'm naika welcome to my channel I'm so happy you're here I make videos all about self-development and I give you like actionable to-do list type tips to transform your life and just feel amazing and productive and successful and happy and just in love with life so if that sounds like
your cup of tea please subscribe stick around I've got so many more videos planned and if you want to of course you can check out my social media for more of like my personal life and we can keep these chats going okay okay I need to stop doing that okay let's get into these tips I'm so excited step number one you're going to pick a focus for this month so this means one goal or one area of your life because if you choose too many things to focus on your focus your energy is to distribute
it and what you want after this month is to feel like oh my God I did that I finally started exercising or I finally cracked how to eat healthier and make amazing recipes or I've cracked my finances I started saving I created a budget you know one lane just so your full energy or as much of your energy that's available in your life can go into that so that at the end of this month you're like I did that I transformed myself in this way and I will never be the same because of it and
I showed myself that I can do it as I've been talking you might already know straight away like this is what I want to focus on if not ask yourself what's one change that I can realistically make in a month that would be the most meaningful to me and then just to make it very concrete and like yes this is what I want to focus on ask yourself why is it meaningful to you and how will it make me feel if I imagine myself at the end of this month having achieve this goal so how
will you feel just write all this down if you're a super visual person create a board for this month step number two don't share your goals with other people the reason why this is important is that when you reveal your goal to someone and they acknowledge it it tricks your mind into feeling like you've already accomplished it you get that kick as if you've already done it and that might be satisfying to you and then you don't really feel the need to do it anymore or you lose a little bit of that motivation so just
keep those goals to yourself obviously if you live with a partner or if you're really really close to your best friend and you see each other all the time of of course you can tell them just be mindful of this and also imagine how amazing it will feel if you share what you've done after the month if you see a friend that you haven't seen in a little bit and they ask you how you're doing and you're like oh my God I just did this one month and I accomplished this this and this like that
feels so much more amazing because it's backed up by you already have done it and that just feels incredible all righty step number two we're going to remove distractions so this is where like the isolation period really comes in first you're going to write down a list of things that distract you like your usual vices that you use to distract yourself to not do the things you should be doing for example you might like use Tik Tok a lot to distract yourself and procrastinate so you can write that down and then write a second list
of people that don't make you feel very good okay because this is a time for you to focus on yourself and your goals so it's totally fine and you have the excuse a very good one to kind of put those people on the back burner just a little bit okay you don't need to be rude about it you don't need to create fights in your life or any kind of distress that's not the point but you can just write down a list of who those people are maybe they just don't make you feel that great
about yourself maybe they're not very supportive maybe they just drain you whatever it might be and then of course it's your job to kind of limit the time you spend with them so if that means telling them like hey I'm doing this challenge where for a month I'm hyper fixated on myself just so you know I'm not like trying to ignore you but that's where my focus will be so I hope you can understand and I can't wait to catch up when I'm done or something along those lines or like you can call me if
you know anything happens and I will be there but I just really need to focus on this if this makes you feel like scared and like uncomfortable or guilty I'll have my boundaries video down below because I talked all about this and um I really had to learn this so those are the tips that helped me so again I'll link that down below we're again just trying to create an amazing month for you to focus on yourself without feeling guilty and to maybe for the first time put yourself first and it's only a month your
life is not going to implode if you're scared of this and you might as well test it out and you'll see after a month if you enjoy that or not okay it might feel like a waste of time to write these lists but it's really going to help you when you're like going through the motions of this month and you're like oh I'm using this as a distraction what can I do to kind of limit myself using Tik Tok for example or whatever your vices are the next list you're going to write is your energy
drainers and then your energy accelerators so drainers are obviously things that drain your energy different things different habits you do um people anything you can think of and then energy accelerators are things that for example after doing it or after spending time with them you just feel like you've got even more energy like it's really just made you feel alive or passionate or excited or happy or even peaceful you know it just makes you feel good and these lists are just amazing to have in general and to keep adding to them um but it's especially
going to help you this month to kind of limit when you're planning your days okay how can I limit my energy drainers or when you're planning your day and you feel like you just need just to feel great because you've been feeling a little sluggish pack your day with things that make you feel better with those energy accelerators it's just an amazing like really simple exercise that can really help you with just feeling better and managing your time in a way that's like self self-loving and self-caring um and that will also make you more productive
the last part of this step you're going to again take your journal and ask yourself when do I get distracted again you can list things and then if I'm being honest with myself what do I feel right before I cave into distraction I for example realized for myself if I feel overwhelmed I start to procrastinate and distract myself I don't do well with feeling overwhelmed I really don't so for me it's like okay how can I limit feeling overwhelmed how can I prevent that from happening so that I don't get overwhelmed and therefore don't distract
myself and start procrastinating you know so when you get that answer of what you feel right before that is a feeling you're trying to escape by distracting yourself it's just good to bring that to the conscious to be aware of it and so you can deal with it in a healthier way and I really feel like an awareness of a problem is a problem half solved so it's just a great step to take we're just kind of setting ourselves up for Success you know so it's easier and more efficient step number four find mentors therapists
personal trainers nutritionists whatever your lane is find people that are going to help you let's take exercise for example if you can afford it and if you can commit to it finding a personal trainer or finding classes where you really love the person who runs the class and they really motivate you and they make you want to keep going if you can't afford that surround yourself online with those kinds of people you can follow people like that on Instagram on Tik Tok on YouTube you can listen to podcasts you just want to surround yourself and
make this your whole world for a month as much as you can obviously we all have responsibilities and things to do but you really want to commit yourself to this Lane and surround yourself with it and that's going to help you to first of all learn more because of course you're not going to know everything when you get started and then it's also going to help you to feel motivated passionate and inspired to keep going a lot of us are very impressional and want to be a part of something so if the people around you
are exercising all the time or just living a healthy lifestyle it usually influences you to do the same and if you don't have that in real life create it online you can curate what you see and just take advantage of that step number five be organized with your time so what that means is you're going to take this Lane and your like overall big goal that's achievable in this month so you want to break it down into smaller steps and then break those down into smaller steps until you come to a daily task so I
like to break down my monthly goal into weekly goals and then my weekly goals into daily tasks so plan your day the night before and make sure that you include tasks of this Lane of this goal that you're trying to focus on into your daily routine so maybe that's I'm going to try this new workout class today and then I'm going to learn more by listening to a podcast about recovery how to recover after a workout for example so that just helps you to focus on the next step instead of the whole staircase you know
because that can feel very overwhelming and again if you're someone like me when you feel overwhelmed you kind of want to quit then you know that this is even more important to you so break down those goals into weekly goals and then daily tasks step number six is actually a question that you can ask yourself all the time if you want to you can ask yourself this when you're planning your days or breaking down your goals into smaller tasks or when you're choosing what to prioritize in the day for example so the question is what
is the highest and best use of my time right now so the first thing that pops up is usually the right answer and then you need to go ahead and do it so you need to honor what your psyche has just answered okay so again this can just help you along this month and um prioritize your tasks better and it also helps you to feel good while doing it because you're kind of you're choosing what you want to do right all righty step number seven we're going to create a daily routine and stick to it
that's super simple but it's just going to help you to stay motivated and stay feeling good because again when we feel good we want to do things for ourselves we want to be productive we just want to live our best lives so step one when you wake up say to yourself today is going to be a great day and then get your journal or your notes app and ask yourself why is today going to be a great day and then when you answer that you have kind of like a plan for your day or maybe
what you want to focus on your intention and then again you need to honor that so today is going to be a great day why is today going to be a great day I have to go on a walk to get to my workout class and I'm going to take a nice route and I'm going to listen to my favorite podcast to get me really inspired and then I'm going to have a great workout I'm going to get a coffee after and I'm just going to have an amazing start to the day boom feeling great
again we're taking our lives into our own hands because we're not victims here okay you're creating your life you're choosing things for yourself the second step is a simple gratitude list at the end of the day you can of course do this at the beginning of the day if you want to but I like to do step one in the morning step two in the evening so again just write at least three things you're grateful for and make it very specific and don't repeat the same things every day like I am grateful for my partner
I'm grateful for my apartment I'm grateful for my dog no of course you can write those things but go into detail I'm so grateful that my partner is so attentive this is what he did today and it made me feel so amazing you know just go into more details so you actually feel the Gratitude because that's the whole point and then the last step step number three is to listen to either a visualization I listen to like a 10-minute one so it's super quick and easy and I can focus for 10 minutes and it's fine
I'm sure you can even find a shorter one or if that is not your cup of tea cuz it's not for everyone you can take that time to kind of look at your vision board and imagine this life and really feel amazing if you have your vision board on Pinterest for example you can use that time to kind of go through Pinterest and pin new photos that kind of evoke those emotions in you so it totally depends what you're into and what works for you but dedicate yourself to one of these either in the morning
or in the evening so you've got three steps of this daily routine that's going to help you to feel inspired and amazing and wonderful and passionate and motivated again you just want to help you to set yourself up for Success every day and really make this happen and really have this transformational amazing month step number eight is another thing kind of like a routine that you're going to add into your life to help you along the way and I like to commit to this once a week but it's up to you you can do this
more or less often depending on your needs okay so the routine is like a life audit let's call it that so after a week you're going to be journaling you can also do a voice recording you can record yourself kind of like a vlog whatever works for you so you're going to imagine like you're a business and every week you have a meeting with your team so this is how our product performed in the last week this is what didn't work this is what worked what do we need to do moving forward to make this
the best and the most successful week yet what tasks do we need to do what do we need to focus on more what do we need to change so imagine this is like a meeting with yourself and you just write it all down you're just kind of looking at what works what doesn't and you're making a more informed plan for the upcoming week so you're kind of altering things that aren't working so well and listen to me carefully because this is not a time when we make excuses and justify quitting okay if you have like
an actual accountability partner you can actually like schedule a meeting with each other and just go over these things together and you can help each other brainstorm like this is what you can do have you thought of trying this out you know step number nine and I feel like I've been talking about this so much in the last few videos but switch up your environment to influence you in a positive way because as you know if your room is like a disaster then you're usually a bit of a mess as well like your environment can
really influence the way you feel so again if you want to focus on exercising and you don't want to go to classes or anything you want to do it at home this can be like I'm going to transform my basement or my like extra room that I have in my house that I don't really use and I'm going to make it a super inspiring place I'm going to have a yoga mat out I'm going to have you know my workout clothes all set up nicely and you don't need to go all out and buy all
these new things and have like a home renovation you know just make it like easy and something that inspires you you can print things that motivate you you can have nice lighting a speaker in there whatever you want to do you know it depends on the lane but just find a way to make your environment something that's motivating inspiring again it doesn't have to be in your home you can go elsewhere whatever floats your boat the last step step number 10 set milestones and celebrate them so we've already hopefully set some Milestones with the goals
that you want to achieve in this month in this one specific Lane and don't overwhelm yourself really choose things that again are going to make the biggest difference in a month and are like achievable in that time frame and then create a system where you can track these goals you can use notion you can create a system in your Journal you can go on Pinterest to find some ideas but it really helps to track things to feel super accomplished when you like tick it off it really gives you motivation to keep going so I highly
recommend doing that if you need Awards give yourself Awards like after a week of doing this I'm going to do this one thing that I really love I'm going to go buy flowers for myself go to my favorite Cafe and just have a relaxing time like it doesn't have to be materialistic or something huge just like a little something that makes you feel really good and makes you want to keep going but I do recommend giving yourself kind of like a bigger award after this whole month is up if you achieve it so if you're
doing again exercising your award can be something that you want obviously but just an example like I'm going to buy myself an amazing workout set that I've been wanting for so long because I'm going to feel like I deserve it after and it's going to be so satisfying and it's going to want me to keep going even after this month is up for example or if your lane was like I've never eaten healthy and I want to commit myself to eating healthier trying new recipes and just finding ways to make healthy eating exciting and let's
say you've you know tried different recipes you've really committed yourself you've accomplished your goals so an award here can be that after this month I'm going to take myself out to this amazing restaurant that I've been wanting to try for so long but it's a little expensive um so maybe you can like save up a little bit throughout the month to be able to do it and it's going to be like an amazing award or if you love hosting you can host a dinner party with your friends you can make like a nice theme and
then you can make these meals for your friends or you can make them together and you kind of share your success and the things you've been doing the last month with the people you love which always feels amazing all righty guys those were all of my 10 steps to have like a self-isolation hyperfocused month where you can really make your goals come true and just show to yourself that you can do it and start the new year feeling transformed and super motivated and inspired and empowered because that just feels amazing and why wouldn't you want
