4 Things To Do When Your Old Life Calls You Back

Every Time You Level Up, Your Old Life Will Call You Back. Don’t Do It! Do These 4 Things Instead

 

Here’s the truth: every time you step into your next level, your old life will try to pull you back. Old habits, old environments, and even old people who don’t understand your growth will come knocking. Why? Because comfort is familiar. But comfort doesn’t create the woman you’re becoming.

When you feel the pull to slip back int your old patterns, here are 4 things to do instead.

 

1. Reaffirm Your Vision

 

Write it down. Say it out loud. Visualize the woman you’re becoming. Your old life can’t compete with a crystal-clear vision of your future self. Remind yourself daily why you started this journey. 

Pro tip: use my It Girl Glow Up Planner to script and track these visions, it keeps me consistent and intentional every single day.

 

2. Upgrade Your Circle

 

Energy is contagious. Surround yourself with people who are already living at the level you aspire to—or are just as hungry to get there. Distance yourself from those who make you feel guilty for growing.

 

3. Anchor New Habits

 

Your new life requires new routines. Whether it’s waking up earlier, journaling, hitting the gym, or making intentional money moves—lock in habits that support your next level. When you feel tempted to slip back, your routines will hold you steady.

 

4. Protect Your Mindset

 

Guard your thoughts like luxury. Don’t feed yourself negativity, drama, or distractions. Read, listen, and watch things that align with the woman you’re becoming. Protecting your mindset is protecting your glow-up.

✨ Final Word

 

Your old life will always test you. That’s proof you’re leveling up. But remember: luxury isn’t behind you—it’s ahead of you. Stay focused, stay grounded, and keep moving forward.

Because the truth is, you didn’t come this far just to go back. 🖤
