11 Easy Steps to Leveling Up as A Woman with Just Self-Concept
Leveling up as a woman is a lot easier than you think. That’s because it begins with a decision. A desire to level up and change your life!
It truly doesn’t matter where you are right now. Whether you’re struggling financially, dislike your career, or are in a rut romantically, you can change that right now with these 11 easy steps.
Why do I think it’s so easy to level up as a woman? Because I changed my life easily just like you can and will. Thanks to self-concept work, I am flying high in all areas of my life! For the first time, I feel fulfilled and I choose joy every day. And my thoughts are that of a woman that is abundant, loved, and successful.
11 Easy Steps to Leveling Up as A Woman with Just Self-Concept
So, let’s get to it, shall we? Here are 11 easy steps to leveling up as a woman just with self-concept.
Ask yourself who you identify as.
Who are you? Truly. Sit down and think about your qualities. Ponder that. Write a list. The words that you use to describe yourself are who you identify as.
If you write “I am beautiful” on that list, you probably walk into a room and feel confident. The same thing goes if you jot down “I am smart.” You probably engage in conversations willingly and easily network professionally. But if the statements on that list have a negative connotation, like you are timid, lazy, scared, or anxious, you will interact with the outside world in that manner.
That’s why it’s important to be honest with yourself about who you think you are. You want to believe you can level up, not that you’re a failure. This is the first step to living your best life as a woman!
Ask loved ones how they see you.
“Everyone is you pushed out” is a common term used in the law of assumption. It basically means that people will reflect back your thoughts about yourself and your thoughts about them.
Go back to that list you just made. Ask the people in your life how they see you. What traits come up? What image of you do they have? How do they describe you? Do the words and phrases they use match yours? (If they’re honest, they probably will because everyone is you pushed out!)
This exercise will show you if people believe you are a woman who is leveling up or a woman who is struggling. And whatever they believe about you, deep down you probably believe about yourself as well.
Affirm who you are.
Didn’t like what you heard? It’s time to work on self-concept and level up with affirmations.
Don’t know what affirmations to use? My self-concept affirmations guide will help – and it’s free!
Affirmations are a proven method to help you step into a new version of yourself. And that version of yourself can be whoever you want to be!
Want to be an entrepreneur? It’s possible. Want to get married? It’s possible. Want to be rich and famous? Yes, that’s possible also!
All you have to do is decide that you want to level up, create your affirmations, and start your new affirming routine.
Start a routine around your self-concept.
Once you have your self-concept affirmations you have to actually use them! Add saying your affirmations as part of your daily routines.
I, for one, love reciting my self-concept affirmations in the morning. While I am making breakfast, I set my timer for 10 minutes and speak my self-concept affirmations out loud. I say them with conviction and power. Sometimes I shout them out while I pace. Other times I whisper them to myself, especially when my son is with me in the mornings.
If saying your self-concept affirmations aloud isn’t your thing, you can also:
- Repeat them in your head.
- Script them (writing them repeatedly) in a journal.
- Listen to them.
- Sing them.
- Tap them. (This article explains EFT tapping.)
You also don’t have to say your affirmations all day every day or even for 10 minutes each time. Do what feels right to you. I say them aloud for 10 minutes in the morning and during my afternoon walk. I recite them when I’m cooking dinner and sometimes while washing my face. And I always journal in my “live as if” journal.
Start a “live as if” journal.
A “live as if” journal is just what it sounds like; you write down everything that happened in your day as if you’re the woman who has it all.
This is where I let my imagination run wild. I try to live like the woman who has it all every day by being mindful of my thoughts. Before bed, I remind myself of my fabulous life by journaling all the amazing things that happened that day.
Sometimes, I journal about my super successful self-love blog (the one you’re reading right now!). Other times I write about my relationship with my specific person (I am the love of his life!), my healthy and happy son, and yes, how fucking fantastic I am.
Start a “live as if” journal STAT. Whatever you desire write it down as if you have it. Whoever you decide to be write it down as if you are it!
Nip negative thoughts in the bud.
Our dominant thoughts, assumptions, and perceptions can create unfavorable circumstances. So, to level up as a woman, get into the habit of observing your thoughts.
Observing your thoughts looks like this.
So, you have a thought and are aware of said thought. If it’s an unfavorable thought, you can either decide to flip it or push it to the side with an affirmation like, “That’s not who I am anymore. I am (enter self-concept affirmation and how you identify yourself now).” If it’s the best thought ever, well, you keep it and embellish it to feel amazing. The latter also helps you create favorable thoughts consistently to saturate your mind.
And that’s it. That’s the trick to nipping negative thoughts and assumptions in the bud so you level up as a woman with an amazing self-concept.
Be accountable.
Claim what you desire professionally and personally and remain accountable. Because when we are practicing manifestation and honing a fantastic self-concept we do not play victim.
If you don’t love your life right now, ask yourself: what are my thoughts about my life and my current circumstances? How can I choose to think as if I am the woman who has it all? How do I choose joy?

Remember that you are not a victim of your circumstances. You and your thoughts alone will help you create your dream life.
Level up your appearance.
When you look good you feel good! That’s why I recommend dressing your best to boost your self-confidence.
You don’t have to dress in expensive clothes or even wear dresses or heels. If that’s not your thing, that’s okay! Do whatever makes you feel good. Dress up or down. Wear sneakers or heels. Put on makeup or go natural. What matters is that you walk into every room with your head held high.
Exude confidence even when you don’t feel it.
All powerful, successful, and alluring women exude an energy of confidence. If you want to be that girl you have to do the same.
How do you exude confidence even when you don’t feel it? You focus on one thing about yourself (self-concept) that you love. That one thing that you live for.
What’s one quality that you constantly love telling people about? Or that your loved ones always tell you that they enjoy about you? Hone in on it. Affirm it in your mind when you walk into every room and walk in with confidence.
Write that first list again.
Now that you’ve created affirmations and have a routine, plus, have followed these extra tips, rewrite your self-concept list.
Go back to the first exercise and write down who you now identify as. Some things may still remain while other traits from your initial list may fall away.
Only look at your progress. Continue to affirm the qualities that you want to exude. Eventually, you will transform into the you that you desire and be her every day of your life.
