My TOP 10 LIFE TIPS I’ve learned this year 👇🏼
One year ago I was crowned Mrs. Colorado, one of the most memorable moments of my life❤️ and within this year, I have learned so many nuggets about life, pageantry and myself.
1. Always schedule your self-care as a priority during the week, and never feel guilty about it🧘🏻♀️🛁 🏃🏿♀️ You can’t pour from an empty cup and you can’t be the best you can be, if you don’t put your self-care first . For the longest time, I would feel guilty about it but I learned that I get burnt-out & exhausted if I don’t schedule it in my calendar at least once a week.
2. AUTHENTICITY always wins, you can’t wear a mask 24/7 and sustain it 🦸🏻♀️ Just like trying to keep up a lie, trying to be someone else is exhausting. The right people will love you for you ❤️
3. Don’t allow toxic relationships in your life, if you have them cut that cord! ✂️ Give yourself full permission to only allow people in your life who ignite a spark in you & help you shine even brighter 🕯 toxic people just rob energy out of you.
4. The crown to me is like a “thinking cap” 👑 what can I do to help make an impact with this platform? Same thing like a new job title or a promotion, you should always ask yourself “how can I make this world a little better?”
5. Everyone is always watching you even when you’re not looking. Always have integrity wherever you go, even when you’re not wearing the banner, the crown, your make-up, the heels...
6. You are always doing the best you can. You can’t fix everything so be flexible.
7. Your body goes through different sizes & THATS OK. Our bodies evolve over time, and yes it’s not where you want it to be or you try to force it to look like it used to when you were younger. Just embrace the change & love your body for what is has done for you instead of what it looks like.
8. Be kind ❤️ no matter who are talking to, every human being deserves respect & kindness even if they’re throwing hate your way. Only hurt people hurt people. Kindness always goes a long way & might be a teaching lesson to someone who needs it.
9. Don’t spend your time comparing your Chapter 1 to someone’s Chapter 20...we all have different timelines with its own challenges, but all happen in perfect timing for YOU. Trust your journey is happening in perfect timing.
10. Be unapologetically you & do it your way ❤️
