15. How Exercise Shapes Your Self-Image (And It’s Not Just About Your Body)
Somewhere between my first 10,000 steps and when I realised my dumbbells didn’t feel as heavy as they usually do, something shifted. Not in the way my body looked (although that’s happening too) but in the way I saw myself.
When we start implementing exercise into our routine, we ironically contemplate what we see at the end: a smaller waist, a sharper jawline, slimmer thighs and something a little more pert behind.
But no one talks about the journey and how it rewires your mind and completely changes the perspective you once had of yourself.
In this article, I’m going to share how exercising and the power of movement can shape or reshape your self-image.
14. How To Wake Up and Win with A Neuroscience Backed Morning Routine
It still shocks me how much I underestimated the morning routine, because although I now know how important it is to any transformation, I took my morning habits for granted.
If no one has ever told you this before, let me be the first.
The way you spend those first few hours of every morning doesn’t just set the tone for the day, it builds the foundation for your future.
For most, the morning routine is a process on autopilot, they’re sleepwalking through their mornings, hitting the snooze button, complaining that it’s still a weekday, scrolling through meaningless content on social media, then in a flash, rushing through the door to catch the train just in time.
But if you knew your morning routine could completely rewire your brain for success and to live a different life, would you treat it differently?
I did, and it changed everything.
In the book Becoming Supernatural, Joe Dispenza said, “When you wake up and start thinking about your day, neurologically, biologically, chemically, and even genetically, it looks as though that day has already happened for you. And it has”.
I spent the past two to three months on a refined sugar-free lifestyle diet and doing 10,000 steps every morning in March before noon, not to gloat (although if you knew my sugar habits before, it’s nothing short of a miracle) but to share that all you have to make a decision.
This didn’t require any manifesting techniques or self-care gimmicks, just a willingness and intentional choices to reprogram my habits and rewire my brain for success.
In this article, I’m going to share what I’ve learned about building a morning routine that doesn’t just make you feel good in the moment but actively reshapes your mind, body, and reality.
10. The Success Routine That Rewires Your Brain for Abundance
Although I believe in luck, for the most part, success is never an accident, it’s a by-product of our thoughts, habits, and subconscious beliefs.
When I first started diving into personal development, I thought success was about effort, strategy, and discipline. And while those things do matter, I later realised a deeper truth:
Your external reality is a mirror of your internal programming.
Most people try to achieve success by working harder, pushing through resistance, or forcing themselves into new habits. But you can’t change an effect without changing the cause…
And so if your subconscious mind is wired for scarcity, self-doubt, or struggle, you’ll always hit an invisible ceiling, no matter how much action you take. The real transformation happens when you rewire your brain to expect, embody, and attract abundance as your natural state.
I’m not just talking about a nutritious breakfast or going for the old walk around the block, after writing a few gratitude points in your journal, I mean, consistently engaging in a mental reprogramming that shifts your neural pathways and creates lasting change.
In this article, I’m sharing the exact routine that helped me change my mind, quite literally, attract opportunities, and step into my highest self.
