I've been there. I had my first ever panic attack in 2020 and it felt like my world came crashing down in a matter of 3 seconds. I fell into the lowest of lows and truly started to believe I was a failure and worthy of nothing extraordinary.
Then I learned the secrets to living differently. I learned how to tap into a side of me I never knew existed.
In this blog, I am sharing the 6 secrets to becoming the best of version of yourself, no matter where you are at in life. I'll be covering:

How I pulled myself out of a deep low
I have always been a "successful achiever". My entire life, it has come naturally to me to do well in whatever it is that I am doing. One day, I realized that "accolades" and "achievements" actually aren't fulfilling. Success is not a trigger to sustainable happiness and peace.
I realized that even though I played college basketball, I earned a role as captain of a record-setting team, I earned a degree in pre-med and a masters. I even became "rookie teacher of the year" and then went on to land a prestigious job with a medical device company. Next, I entered the top 1% of network marketing (the list goes on). All of that, and I still found myself binge-eating, counting down days to weekends or time off, hating my body, feeling moody and crabby way too often, gossiping, and self sabotaging.
I was willing to do anything to drown my own pain.
Upon this realization that I truly lacked happiness, I was desperate to change my life. I knew it wasn't normal to lack happiness as much as I did and I wanted to change my reality more than anything.
One day, in 2020, it was a normal afternoon during the wildest time in our history (pandemic) and I was simply just sitting on my couch in my apartment that I shared with my sister. And then it happened, I lost it. I couldn't breathe, I thought I was having a hard attack and I couldn't let anything escape my body, even my own tears.
My panic attack lasted maybe 3-5 seconds but felt like an hour.
That was it for me, I couldn't let that happen again. I knew I needed help and I needed it fast. Because for the first time ever, I imagined how nice it might be to not wake up the next day.
I was determined to find out what was going on in my mind, my heart and in my body. I started doing research, I made an appointment with both a psychiatrist and a therapist, and I began to create a plan.
From there, I was officially diagnosed with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and learned that I was really unhappy with the life I had created for myself. My therapist coached me into doing the work internally instead of always trying to feel worthy with external validation.
I did what I do best and I created a routine. I knew I needed a holistic makeover and I did just that. Weeks flew by and before I knew it, I was thriving. I felt a major lift off of my heart and my soul.
My plan was working, I felt energized, I felt happy, I felt confident and less "on edge". I have stuck to this same routine for years now and I can honestly say, my entire life has changed for the better.
Secret 1: Change the way you think, your mindset is holding you back whether you notice it or not
You can't help but be stuck inside your own mindset. From your childhood and on, your mindset has formed into what it is now. But your mindset can either be your weaponry or your enemy and until you grasp it, it won't serve you.

Secret 2: Brainwash yourself into unwavering belief
I find it astounding how many of us are walking around lacking belief in ourselves. We look at someone like Taylor Swift and think "I could never be as famous or as successful as her" instead of "I am human, just like Taylor Swift. If she can do it, why couldn't I?"

Secret 3: Turn your pains into passion and profit from it
Once I got to the other side and overcame my struggles, I started sharing it with the world. I grew a brand on social media that helped women like me. It was quite therapeutic and I treat it (to this day) as a creative outlet! Something I was missing...
Secret 4: Food really does matter, use it as fuel
Eating clean doesn't have to mean broccoli, chicken and brown rice for every meal. It can actually mean that you crave high quality foods because your body is addicted to functioning properly.
Secret 5: Strength training is the most underrated form of therapy there is
I can't say enough about this one. I don't even see this in the way we see "workouts". It's a non-negotiable and it should be for you too. Your human body starves for strength training. Yes, I am serious.
Secret 6: Dress to impress YOURSELF, it works wonders for becoming the best version of yourself
I had to stop wearing the same boring clothes just because they felt "comfortable" and hid parts of me that felt good to hide. Don't get me wrong, I still dress comfortable (lol) but I also dress for confidence. They say those who dress to impress themselves have a bigger bank account.
Once I learned WHAT to implement, I was able to pull myself out of my funk. I used these 6 secrets to becoming the best version of myself.
I finally feel FREE. The relief I experienced is almost inexplainable. I stopped seeking external validation and felt inner peace like never before. I stopped wanting to numb my thoughts, my emotions and my void. I've been able to actually enjoy life without so much unnecessary tension inside of my mind and heart.
