Imagine waking up and being so in love and obsessed with your life.
Well, guess what?
That's exactly what being self-obsessed gets you.
You wake up and you are so in love with who you are, what your potential is, what you're about to set your mind to, the things you're going to work on for the day, your values, your mindset, the direction you want to go in your goals, all of the potential of what could be that you literally prance around your room, your bathroom while you get ready.
Like an early 2000s rom-com chick flick character that is so effing in love with their life.
Everything seems magical because you finally love and appreciate who you are.
Doubt and limiting beliefs are absolutely all the way out the window, because you know you are that girl and you can achieve just about anything you can put your mind to.
So what is there to be sad about?
What is there?
To wake up and dread about the day when, yeah sure, we have hard work and we have responsibilities, but it doesn't matter.
Because, in the grand scheme of things, you are going to get everything you want, because you have all of the potential and all of the skills in the world to become exactly who you want.
And even though you might not be her yet, you are already a version of yourself that you are absolutely in love and obsessed with.
And that, my friend, is something to be extremely happy and grateful for today.
Now, I've already done a video before called the five laws of self-obsession.
These are absolutely essential.
So if you haven't seen that video, go check it out, because I'm not going to be repeating any of that in this video.
And if you like this video and you want more, then you can check out my podcast, Self-Obsessed.
Every single episode is catered towards being self-obsessed.
But I've also got, I think, three or four episodes all titled the 10 laws of self-obsession.
And I go into a little bit more of a deep dive on extra steps on how you can be self-obsessed.
Again, all different from each other and all very different from this video.
And since we're talking about self-obsession, it's only right that I mention my brand new special edition limited book that now has two bonus chapters, one being called The Era of the Self-Obsessed Woman.
If you have been here for my self-obsessed mission and all of the content I've done so far in my career, you are not ready for this okay.
Because I dive deeper than I ever have before.
I am so aware of all of your questions and queries when it comes to being self-obsessed, how to overcome society looking down on it or judgments from other people.
There are tables just catered to those questions in this book now.
A brand new cover, a message from me inside.
But the sad thing is it's only available for a limited time.
So once it's sold out, it's never coming back like ever again.
And you won't be able to access the extra chapters.
So definitely check it out.
You can order it on Amazon and Waterstones only from the two links in my description.
You guys aren't ready for this.
Since everything started for me on YouTube, I have to give you guys the little sneak peek.
What I've done differently in these new chapters is you now have exercises where you can literally write in the book to make it more practical.
I've got all of the laws, chapter summaries, homework tasks and the other bonus chapter is all about closing the gap between your current and ideal self which, I mean, is the most self-obsessed, self-loving thing you could do.
So check it out.
You can pre-order it now and it's only available for a limited time.

Chapter one, redefining self-obsession, aka the mindset shifts, because this is so necessary.
Society wants you to think that self-obsession is a bad word, and I'm here to tell you that it's not okay.
Over here, on this side of the internet.
Being self-obsessed means being obsessed with your self-love, your self-growth, your self-confidence, your self-belief, your self-worth.
The list goes on.
And right before I get into the mindset shifts, I need to clarify something.
And in order to do so, we've got to bring in Athena and Lola.
Now you know it's about to get serious.
Now there are actually two versions of being self-obsessed.
One is bad and one is good and empowering and it's going to help you be your best self, okay?
Lola unfortunately, is the bad version of self-obsessed.
So when she's out with her friends and they're taking a group picture and they want to look cute and post on instagram, she's the one nitpicking every single thing about herself in that photo.
She's saying, oh my god, we need to do it again.
Even though everybody else loves the photo and she looks absolutely stunning in it, she doesn't believe in herself enough yet.
So she is so obsessed with picking apart herself, picking apart every single detail in that photo when, in the grand scheme of things, it really does not matter.
She's the one that's constantly fixing herself, fixing her outfit, trying to make sure she looks perfect for everybody else.
She's the one that, after the party, second guessing what all the new people at the event must have thought of her, all of the things she must have said wrong, thinking about the way that she came across and wondering if she did good enough.
That is, being obsessed not really with yourself, but with your insecurity, with things that you are still refusing to fix about yourself.
Whereas Athena, she is so obsessed with herself that she's not zooming into a picture of herself, because she knows she looks amazing and a picture doesn't define her self-worth.
She is confident no matter what.
Athena is so obsessed with herself that she doesn't second guess what she says, because she knows she shows up confidently and authentically.
And if anybody's got a problem with that, that's not to do with her.
That's to do with you and your projections and your biases.
Because Athena would never question something that she does.
She's worked so hard on herself that she fully agrees with her standards, her morals, her values and her decision making.
And she's not gonna let you make her question that that right, there is the difference in self-obsession, and let me tell you something so hilarious about this Lola's version which might, I argue, actually inconveniences everybody in her space.
Yeah, society has no issue with that, with the insecure version of self-obsession, the one that's that's so self-destructive and so selfish because it doesn't threaten anybody else.
Yeah, this is the bad version.
Athena's version, on the other hand, oh oh, she's so stuck up.
She thinks she's better than everybody else.
She needs to stop being so selfish with her time.
She needs to think about others.
That's what society has to say about her, which is absolutely false.
Why?
Because she's a powerful woman.
She does not look to others for validation. and that is extremely threatening.
She is so confident and magnetic that when she walks into a room, people who haven't worked on themselves, the people like Lola it threatens them.
It makes them feel insecure.
So they want to shrink her down to make themselves feel more comfortable in her presence.
Okay,
That's clear, you understand?
Okay, onto the first mindset shift.
Mindset shift number one, there is nothing selfish about loving yourself.
If anything, when you are filling your own cup, you literally have so much more to offer to the world, to your loved ones, to your friends, to your family, to your work, to your projects, to the value and inspiration you can give off to others because you've worked on yourself, because you're not drained, because you're not resenting of others.
I would argue controversially that trying to appease others and be the best person in the room and trying to make them like you is actually a very manipulative thing to do because you're not being authentic and you are trying to mold yourself in a way to force somebody else to have a particular opinion about you that's probably not even true because you're not being yourself, okay?
So let's just scrap that self-obsessed equals selfish narrative, okay?
Because it's so stupid.
And you know what?
Let's just go to the era of the self-obsessed woman chapter and let me just read you one thing from the table.
Because, if you like what I just said, there are literally 10 other arguments that go so much deeper on this section of the book.
Here we go.
Here's another misconception that society has to try and convince you that being self-obsessed is bad okay.
Self-obsession is shallow and ostentatious.
But the self-obsessed truth of the matter is it's not vanity.
It's not ostentatious.
It's not allowed.
It doesn't take up space.
It's literally just identity design.
It is the disciplined work of sourcing your worth from within, setting your standards and curating habits and environments that align with who you're becoming.
Vanity, on the other hand, that just performs for other people's validation and their applause.
Identity design builds your self-love.
It's never about being louder.
It's about being more authentic.
Mindset shift number two, stop f***ing hiding.
Stop hiding your magic, your energy, your aura.
Everything you have to bring to the table because everybody on this planet has aura.
Everybody on this planet is so f***ing magnetic.
It just looks different to everybody, right?
And I feel like everybody's settled on this one idea of what it means to be a confident, self-assured person.
And if theirs looks anything different from that, they automatically assume that they're not good enough.
But that's not the case.
Everybody shows up in a different way and that's the beauty of it.
That's the beauty of your aura and what you have to bring to the table.
That you're not the same as everybody else, that you don't talk in the same way, that you present yourself differently, that you have a different sense of humor.
That's the thing about you that is so lovable and addictive to others, because you're not blending in with the crowd.
You are being uniquely yourself and there is something so confident and self-obsessed about that knowing that you're different and you come across differently from others and not feeling the need to conform.
It took me so many years to stop hiding in social settings, because hiding is safe.
Hiding means not being perceived.
Hiding means people have less negative things to say about you.
But on my self-love journey, overcoming this was the best thing in the world and it really just made it a habit for me that when I'm in a room or my friends are introducing me to somebody new, or I'm making new friends or I'm just trying to work a room and make conversation with new people, I show up so authentically myself because I'm not a serious person, but I've always tried to portray myself to be one because I thought that was the right way to be in these situations.
But I'm actually really goofy and I'm really loud and I don't say the right thing all the time.
But over time I've taught myself, oh, actually this is one of my best qualities.
This is what people like about me.
This is why I have the friends that I have, because that's the part of me they fell in love with when I started speaking to them.
Why?
Because that's also the part I fell in love with about them because they were just being themselves.
They were being funny.
They weren't worrying about trying to get everything right.
That's the trap we fall into.
But self-obsessed people aren't concerning themselves with thinking about.
Okay, what do I say to try and get you to think a certain thing about me?
No, I'm just going to be myself because I value that.
And I know that is worthy of love and closeness.
You are gonna shine so bright when you just give yourself permission to be seen and to stop hiding.
Mindset shift number three, you need to unlock your main character energy.
This is gonna help you in so many annoying little day-to-day situations that you are inevitably going to come into contact with those very situations that suck you away from your confidence and your self-obsessed energy and make you shrink and go back to the person who was trying to perform for others.
Okay,
Main character.
Energy simply means viewing your life as something that is always happening for you, that you are the lead of your story, of your day-to-day experiences, not some sidekick that things are always happening to, that you are always an observer of other people's amazing gifts and experiences.
And that mindset shift in itself makes you irresistible, not only to yourself, but also to others, which is always a benefit, but not the prize we're looking for here.
Okay,
The prize we're looking for here is your self-perception.
And what kills our self-perception?
Maybe when we find out, someone said something mean to us, or your colleague was a bit rude to you, or someone tried to put you down in some way.
And every time this happens, most of the time it's from somebody who doesn't even know who the F you are.
Like you're not even close enough for them to have a valid opinion of you.
Yet however, they've treated you or have spoken to you.
Has bothered you, right?
This is how I handle it.
I try to channel my main character energy and if that's not working because obviously I'm sad about the situation then I just think of who represents main character energy to me.
Who represents self-obsessed energy to me?
And characters, I think, are always the best way to do this.
For example, Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.
Now disclaimer she's not fully self-obsessed energy because, especially in the first few seasons, she's very, very insecure and very manipulative and not confident in herself okay.
That is not what I'm talking about.
But there are a few traits she has that are very self-obsessed, which is she is always focusing on her values.
She will never change her opinions for the benefit of other people.
She is never settling or shrinking her standards or her presence or her mindset or her opinions.
She is always working towards her dream life and pouring all of her energy into that.
When someone says something about Blair Waldorf, she does not care.
She's focused on too many other things to even let that affect her.
Just me reminding myself of that energy makes me snap out of whatever I'm sad about in the moment, because I'm like, oh my God yeah, why do I care?
That's not me.
Another example, Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada.
Again, not a good person or good character, but she is so consumed with the abundance of her life and the fact that she's living her dream.
You think she gives an F that all of the press in the movie are saying bad things about her and creating bad narratives?
No, she's waking up every day.
She's putting on a fabulous fur coat.
She's heading to work and living her dream life.
Another example gabby solis from desperate housewives.
She is so assured and has such unshakable confidence in her beauty you literally could not tell her otherwise.
Now, all of the characters i've just said?
Are they problematic and flawed?
Oh my god.
Yes, 100.
But guess what?
So are you and I.
So is literally everybody else on the planet.
None of us are perfect, okay?
All of us have our problems.
All of us have made mistakes and done bad things.
But the common thread with those three examples I gave, despite their problems, is the fact that they know how to channel their main character energy.
They don't sweat the small stuff.
They don't worry about what other people are saying about them, because they love themselves way too effing much.
And when you remind yourself of that, or when you channel a certain character or an idol you may have in your life, it snaps you out of those moments and reminds you who the eff you are, because there are always going to be moments where you might forget it.
You need to build a system and a reminder where you know how to snap right back into main character mode so you don't stay in scarce, insecure victim energy for too long.
The next mindset shift is all about self-love versus self-obsession.
Now they're very similar and I always like to say self-obsession is basically self-love on steroids.
Like it's just a very extreme version of it.
But I'd say the main difference is self-love, is learning to accept yourself, have grace for yourself, compassion in your hardest moments and show love to yourself on a daily basis through the way you speak to yourself, through the way you treat yourself.
Self-obsession is the same, but with one addition, which is falling so in love with who you're becoming, falling so in love with your self-improvement, who you want to be, the amount of attention and effort and time and energy you pour into the bigger picture of your life.
A self-obsessed girl doesn't just love who she is now, she loves who she can become.
You need to be so obsessed with your full potential, with yourself, with your life, that you have created the clearest picture of the woman you aspire to be.
Again, drawing it back to Blair Waldorf.
She literally used to walk around with several files on powerful women that she looked up to so that she could better forge her path to become one herself.
That's how obsessed she was with her potential and how she wants to carefully curate her life and herself.
And this is honestly my favorite part of self-obsession, because it completely flips the narrative that other people try to make out of self-obsession.
You're not obsessed with the vanity of it.
You're not obsessed with staring at yourself in the mirror all day.
You're obsessed with your evolution.
You're obsessed with the impact you can make.
You're obsessed with the limiting beliefs you can overcome, with the way that you can transform.
Your life is this project, where you already acknowledge that you are the masterpiece, but at the same time you are a master builder of your dreams.
This links me into the next mindset shift, which is you need to be obsessed with your life too, not just yourself.
Because, at the end of the day, your life is your story and your journey that you are experiencing every single day.
What I mean by this is when things go wrong in your life, because inevitably they will.
For example, maybe you've gone through a romantic breakup, maybe you've lost a friend, Maybe you've lost a job, maybe you were gunning and studying for a certain opportunity and it just fell through.
When stuff like that happens, you need to be so psychotically self-obsessed and confident in your full potential and your mission and your alignment that you're like that you literally get excited.
You're excited when things go wrong, because you're like oh, it's just certain pieces moving around reorganizing themselves and making sure that things that aren't aligned to where I want to be yeah, they're just removing themselves.
Everything is literally working in my favor.
So yes, when the opportunity falls through, I'm so excited.
That means I didn't go in the wrong direction.
That means something new is about to come into my life that's going to help me on the next part of my journey.
That's how crazy you have to be with it.
The next mindset shift is about being self-obsessed in terms of other people.
And my biggest piece of advice here is to stop defending yourself.
Unless it's a very important relationship or loved one where obviously you need to communicate.
If an issue has come up and you're trying to understand each other, that's absolutely fine.
That aside, I mean random people who've probably met once or who have come up with a certain negative perception of you, and then you feel the need to explain yourself.
That is the most un-self-obsessed energy I've ever heard of.
You're telling me you need to explain your value to someone you don't even know or care about.
That has already formed a negative opinion of you that they're not even going to change.
So now you're telling me you are just voluntarily disrespecting yourself by wasting your time, and energy and attention to a loser explaining yourself, uh-uh defending yourself.
Why do you care?
And in doing that action, you are literally showing that you care about validation, that you care what this random person thinks about you.
That when someone says they don't like you, your foundation isn't steady enough to take that, understand it has nothing to do with you and just carry on with your day as normal, with unbothered self-obsessed, confident energy, like a Blair Waldorf or a Miranda Priestly would do.
And that leads us on to chapter number two practical ways to be self-obsessed in your day-to-day life.
Habit number one is understanding you are a privilege.
So you need to act like that every single day and carry yourself like that.
Not everybody deserves access to your time, attention, energy, conversation, mindset, advice.
I wish I knew this when I started dating.
Oh my God, nearly 10 years ago.
We're in 2026.
Stop.
Okay, that bombshell aside, I wish I knew this when I started dating at 17, because I love the attention from dating so much that it made me forget my standards, understand that your energy and what you bring to the table and your value is so magical that not everybody deserves a piece of it.
You need to understand your value so much that you're like.
Unless you align with who I am and where I'm going, and my mindset and my values no, I wouldn't go on a date with you.
I probably wouldn't even engage in a conversation with you.
And that ladies, is what's going to really get you away from bare minimum men that waste your.
The same goes for family members, even.
The people that are committed to misunderstanding you, mistreating you, not making an effort with you.
You are shut off from this access, okay.
Because the title of being a family member, an auntie, an uncle, even a parent, does not grant you access to me, okay.
Treatment, respect, and love do.
Action number two is living in a bubble, or a golden bubble, might I say.
We've all heard the saying oh my God, that person's living in a bubble or they're living in their own world, right.
And people say it about others like, oh, they don't know what's going on or they're not aware.
But let me argue, I actually think that's exactly the best way to be.
You need to be living in your own bubble.
You need to protect your energy so much that you stop letting random interactions and random conversations and random posts on social media affect and impact and poison your energy.
You're gonna do this because you love yourself enough to protect your mindset and your energy and your mental health.
So no, you're not gonna scroll randomly first thing in the morning or last thing at night or literally anytime you get a break in a day and consuming thousands of people's random opinions.
Or if you're on social media, reading every single comment, because you need to know what everybody is saying about you.
No, you love yourself more than that and you have enough self-respect to know I am not going to make myself vulnerable to what other people think about me, and let that be the focus of my day.
I'm gonna go do things that actually fill my cup, things that I can control, things that I know is gonna make me feel good and help me grow as a person.
Action number three is affirm throughout your day.
Basically, I want you to give yourself mini compliments throughout the day.
This is not normalized and it needs to be.
When you were getting dressed for the day and you were looking in the mirror, you gotta say you look so good.
Your fashion style is impeccable, okay?
You are so tasteful.
You know exactly how to put an outfit together.
Just little compliments, where you're just encouraging yourself and being grateful for all of your strengths.
I personally do it all the time, okay?
I think I have impeccable fashion taste.
You might not agree with it, but that, quite frankly, is not my problem, and that's the self-obsessed energy.
Or when you do your makeup and you're like my eyeliner skills are so perfect, oh my god, I just know how to make myself look snatched.
Or maybe you're going to remember that last month, you aced a test that you studied so hard for and you're like, you remind yourself of that, of your wins recently, and you stop worrying about and fixating on all the things to come and all the worries you might have, and you flip your focus to yeah, I aced that test because I always keep my commitments to myself.
That's the type of person I am.
That's how much I trust myself, that's how much I love myself.
You don't have to say it out loud, of course, but that's what I want you to train your inner narrative and inner belief system to be.
A lot of people call this mirror work.
Another form of this is glamour magic.
Definitely look it up.
A lot of people are more educated in it, and you should definitely watch videos about that, because it all kind of falls into the same world, but it is so so, important.
And I know it might sound a little bit weird and crazy to you, but the science is there on neuroplasticity and how you can rewire your brain to work in your favor.
So you are constantly hyping yourself up and stop dragging yourself down, making yourself shrink and hide and prevent yourself from going after the bigger things.
This links into my next step, which is you need to be ready for good things to happen.
Every day that you wake up, you need to know good things are going to happen to you today, whether it be meeting somebody, having a nice conversation with a stranger, seeing something beautiful, having an amazing idea that might just change your life.
That's what you need to be ready for, and i mean literally, physically ready, Like put the effort into your appearance so you feel actually encouraged to actually go out into the world and experience it.
Go on a walk, go to your favorite cafe and not stay holed up at home all day long.
That's what's gonna make you go see your friends last minute or accept an invite to that event because you feel good about yourself.
You've poured effort into your appearance, into your mindset, into the way you speak to yourself and the beliefs you have about yourself.
Refer to my last step.
My next action is starting your day with education over consumption.
This links into what I said before, okay?
We are not starting our day by consuming other people's opinions.
That's gross.
We are starting our day with reading a self-help book.
Maybe you're brushing up on your financial literacy.
Maybe you're watching YouTube videos about how to master manifestation, because it all pulls into how great you can make your life out to be because of the knowledge that you have acquired.
That is the chicest, most self-obsessed thing you could possibly do.
All of the things you are consuming and inputting into your mindset is telling your subconscious what kind of woman you are and how you expect to be treated.
You are not mindlessly scrolling or reading articles online on celebrity gossip.
You are doing things that benefit your identity, that benefit your goals, that benefit your life.
Self-obsessed action number six is embodying over trying.
Embodying is all about certainty.
It's knowing this is the woman I want to become.
So this is me stepping into her, trying to be anything eg trying to be good at school, trying to ace an exam, trying to be successful on social media.
All that's creating in your subconscious mind and telling yourself is I'm not there yet.
I'm not good enough.
I still have a really long way to go.
While those things all may be physically and logically true, that's not what we're gonna tell ourselves.
We're gonna tell ourselves, oh, I'm trying to be successful on social media.
I am embodying and stepping into the identity of somebody who already has a million followers.
Therefore, I'm gonna be consistent like them.
I'm gonna post like them.
I'm gonna think like them and stop shrinking and treating myself small or having smaller ideas, because I feel like oh, I'm not quite there yet.
Think about it.
If you then start embodying the person who's already made it, don't you think you're gonna get the result literally so much faster?
Don't you think you're gonna get the confidence to keep posting so much faster?
If you don't like where you are in life, stop using that as proof of what your next step should be.
You should be making decisions and viewing yourself from where you want to be.
My next self-obsessed action is actually about other people and this is scheduling friendships like a ceo high value.
Women are all about connections.
They're all about building their community.
It's such an important part of life, of human interaction, of just the big pie that makes up a fulfilled happy, successful life.
Yes, there's career and money and success and the self, but there's also friendships and connections and love and understanding and bonding with other people.
A self-obsessed woman doesn't wait around and let things happen to her.
She is taking action.
Let me tell you, I am literally the number one person in all of my friends' lives who is the first to text them saying when are we going for lunch?
When are we doing this?
When are we doing that?
I don't mind that.
They're not the type of people that are texting me that, because I know they are super busy and they have so many priorities.
That was me over the last few years.
But now I've made a little bit of space in my life to be more intentional with it, with my friends and the frequency in which I see them.
Ever since I've made this mindset shift, I have grown so much closer with the people in my life because I've just decided to let them in more and designate more time to the friendship slice in the pie of my life, instead of the work slice, which used to be basically 100 of the pie.
Prioritizing your friendships and your connections with other people not only teaches you more about those people, but also about yourself.
It's experiences that you can't quite give to yourself and you deserve that.
And that is exactly why a self-obsessed woman prioritizes that.
I mean.
Another point that links into this is, you know, a self-obsessed woman would never just focus on dating guys and being in her relationship and that being her social interaction all the time.
No, she's also focusing on her community, whether it be giving back to one or building up a great friendship with a mixed group of people, or with just women that can uplift and support each other, so she's not just depending on one person to be her everything, all the time.
And the last self-obsessed action for this chapter is all about self-trust.
This is at the core of both self-love and self-obsession.
And it's basically all about follow-through.
What is your success rate on how many times you've told yourself to do something, and then how many times do you follow through and actually do it?
How many times have you given yourself an intention and then you start it and then you fall off?
Or you say, yeah, I'll do it.
And then you've never quite gotten there.
And now you've got basically so much evidence on every single time you made a promise to yourself and you broke it.
No wonder you don't trust yourself.
No wonder you don't feel confident, because you've never actually followed through and given yourself an opportunity to build that relationship with yourself.
You can practically build confidence because of your portfolio of proof, which I said before.
It's your mental file in your head filled with evidence of every single time you did something you thought you couldn't do, of every single time you kept a promise to yourself.
That is practical confidence.
Every single time you follow through, every single time you go on a solo date or you do something alone, or you set up a business, or you start a project, or even you post on social media, because you used to be scared of doing that.
You start being able to be more self-sufficient because you know you can lean on yourself without constantly seeking reassurance and validation from others.
It's such an important habit that you need to cultivate and practice and put into action at least once a day, every day.
And finally, chapter number three, the homework chapter.
These are a few actionable steps you can start right now that will help you put some of the information you just learned from this video into action.
Step number one is a reminder from the beginning of the video that if you want to dive deeper on self-obsession, this is available on Amazon and Waterstones.
If you want to get it, no pressure.
You don't have to.
I just thought I would give you a reminder because once she's gone, she's gone.
Step number two is I need you to figure out what are you going to stop doing, because growth and identity design and becoming the person you've always wanted to be isn't always about adding and adding and adding all these habits and things you wanna do.
It's about carefully curating and figuring out what parts of myself do I have to let go?
Do I have to sacrifice in order to move on to the next version of myself?
Because you can't bring everything that you got right now.
It's not how it works.
Again, something that I do dive deeper into in the book.
But good news is, i actually just launched a really good framework you guys can use to achieve this, exactly because i believe the good reset is the foundation for transformation for everybody.
If you guys go to my website selfobsessedjournalcom, i've just launched a digital 30-day journal where you get a different page every single day.
There are quite a few pages committed to mourning your old self, letting go who you used to be so you can step into your new identity.
There are pages on designing that identity and just taking you practically throughout the journey, one page at a time each day.
It's just a digital download and you can fill out all of the questions on your computer or your ipad, so it's super easy and accessible for everyone.
But if you don't want to download that whole thing, literally just get out a piece of paper, draw a little column who i want to become and who i need to let go in order to become that and figure it out that way.
This links into my next step, which is design your self-obsessed manifesto, basically a list of rules.
You can write this in your phone, on a piece of paper, anywhere.
You're gonna see it every single day.
It could even be a vision board, Basically the rules of how you are gonna be self-obsessed and what that looks like to you, because it can look different to everybody.
It could be pouring more time into yourself and your standards by spending a year alone, like I did, or taking yourself on a solo date once a week.
Maybe for you, you're in a different phase of your life, so it's more about friendship and networking and going to events that are a little bit outside of your comfort zone.
Maybe it's keeping your promises to yourself, focusing on your health, your fitness, et cetera.
Build out your set of rules and then factor that into your calendar.
Literally make them scheduled events that repeat weekly or monthly so you never forget.
And that brings us to the end of this video.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
I love making videos about self-obsession.
If you want more, obviously I have all of these videos I mentioned at the beginning of this video.
So definitely check them out because they're all very different.
And, as always, you can always expect more self-obsessed content from me on all of my different platforms, which you guys can check out in the link below in the description my TikTok, my Instagram, both of my YouTube channels, my OG book, my special edition book, the guided journals that I designed that also help you become self-obsessed and be your best self and achieve all your goals.
That's everything from me.
