Life hits different the moment you start embracing your entire self. When you start realising your true worth and capabilities. The moment you start becoming true to yourself, and are clear about the ways in which you have been holding yourself back from expanding, is the moment your light starts shining through.

The power to be magnetic is all yours. That magnetism of yours is sprouted from deep within. It won’t come through a new hair cut or fancy clothing (although, these outer things can be regarded as the cherry on top of the ice cream). But no, true magnetism is created from your deepest core – in a way it can be seen as your soul shining brighter, and therefore blossoming through, boosting your magnetism.

I believe there are certain habits that we can adapt, in order to boost our power and charisma, without having to visit the hair dresser. Below you’ll find 5 ways that may help you step into your power, hence make you more magnetic.

Incorporate life-changing healthy habits

Healthy, daily habits may look different for everyone. The important thing to bare in mind is that you need to choose habits that benefit YOU. Find habits that serve you, and stick to them. For example, if you’re not into meditation, don’t force yourself to sit in silence, if you rather choose to sit with yourself and journal for 15 minutes. Still, at times it might be beneficial to try something new, as to change things up and to keep you from falling into a rut.

The following morning routine is my personal morning routine that I have followed for the past month. This is just to give you an example, that might even spark an inspiration within you.

• Wake up 5.30 am
• I make myself one cup of warm lemon water and one cup of bone broth, that I sip on while I do some light stretching/yoga for approx. 30 minutes. As my body is very stiff in the morning, incorporating movement of some sort has made a huge difference.
• I mediate for approx. 10 minutes. (not every morning)
• I wash my face, take a quick shower and do my skin care routine and make up (this has become almost a meditative practise as it calms my nervous system)
• I make myself breakfast, which is usually porridge with almond milk and blueberries, and a cup of coffee. (Before I had coffee first thing in the morning, now I usually wait for 1 hour before I have my cup). This has made a huge difference on my energy levels throughout the day and my stomach is also calmer.
• I walk 20 minutes to get to work.
  

Life-changing habits don’t have to be early morning routines. It can be anything from getting your daily steps in, eating your greens and protein, drinking enough water, talking to your friends and making sure you’re having quality time with your kids. You choose your habits. And if you don’t like your current habits, it’s up to you to do something about it. And remember, it’s the small, consistent habits, that have the greatest impact in the long run. Consistency is key, and can’t be pronounced enough.

Align with your authentic self

Why be someone else, when you can be yourself? The qualities that you possess, the unique traits and the ways in which you move, speak and interact with the world around you is something that belongs to you. The more aligned you are with your authentic self, the less you will compare yourself to others. Embrace yourself, if you’re not a public speaker don’t force yourself to become a public speaker. If you’re not ready to start a family yet, don’t do it because it’s expected from you. If you don’t want to travel and see the world, but rather stay at home, don’t convince yourself that you have to do it.

Follow what makes most sense to you.

If you haven’t found your authentic self yet, start to ask yourself questions such as; When do I come alive? What makes me happy? What do I value in life? When am I most at peace? What is important to me? What does my dream day look like? Give yourself time and attention to figure these things out. Don’t force the answers to come to you; let them flow through you. It might take a couple of days before the answers come, but when they do come; you will notice their authenticity in the way they make you feel. Answers that are most aligned with you will make you feel grounded, at peace and a little bit child-like happy go lucky.

Know your worth

To have high self-worth is not the same as being confident and believing in yourself. They are related, however, you can be confident in your capabilities and at the same time carry the belief that you’re not worthy of all the good in your life. Self-worth might take some practise, and for some it’s an everlasting exploration. Self-worth is deeply connected to our childhood, and when we start embarking on the journey of healing our inner wounds and inner child, we will increase our self-worth.

Low self-worth might be a huge blockage throughout our lives, and it’s vitally important that we address the issues that have been holding us back with compassion, non-judgement and patience. The healing process is not linear, it comes in waves and your job is to ride those waves as smoothly as possible. Some days you will crash, other days you are on the top – it’s part of life, and in a way it’s what makes life beautiful and colourful, since without our emotions we would be rather dull, wouldn’t we..

Release control

There are plenty of things in life that is out of our control; how other people perceive us, outer circumstances taking place, other people’s mood swings etcetera etcetera. The more you try to force an outcome, the more suffering you will encounter. When you learn to surrender and let go, and still carry trust in your heart, the things that are meant for you will flow to you more effortlessly. Sometimes the things we want, aren’t the things we need. The universe has a funny way of showing up and teaching us how to step into our power. There are signs and synchronicities everywhere. When you gift yourself the moment to slow down and listen, you have a bigger chance noticing them.

By all means, this doesn’t imply that you sit on your coach and do nothing. To the contrary; it involves you taking inspired action; steps that are aligned with the highest version of yourself. Moving forward, evolving at your own pace. Life is not a race.

Have clear boundaries

When you are in your true power, you don’t let people walk all over you. You communicate your boundaries in a clear, healthy and consistent manner. And if for some reason you feel that you’re not in alignment with a person, you quietly walk away without the need for drama or tension. You simply accept that we humans have our differences, and that sometimes we just don’t vibe at the same frequency. We are all walking our own paths; and your job is not to convince anyone of your worth. The right people will appreciate you for the person you are, and they will love you for being real and authentic with them.

Don’t be surprised if certain people start to move away from you, when you start stating your boundaries; do know; those where not your people to begin with. Some people will be triggered by your light and authenticity, in a way it’s like they start to see themselves more clearly, not only the positives, but the negatives. Things that they are not ready to deal with; and it’s not your job to fix or heal anyone else. Still, you can act as a supportive system, and if someone asks you for your assistant and guidance you can choose to be there for them.

To summarise, in order for you to be more magnetic and live the life that you desire, you need to start embracing yourself, and not run away from yourself. It doesn’t mean that you won’t face any difficulties in life, however, the ways in which you cope with these challenges are more empowering, and helping you grow and evolve.

True magnetism stems from within. It shines through your personality and all of your actions. It’s your soul coming forth, not apologising for its existence.
