Are you ready to take your life to the next level by embodying your next level self?
Embodying your next-level self means becoming the best version of yourself and living your life to the fullest. It means that you can live your “tru” and authentic life – from the person you want to be to the things you want to achieve. But it’s also so much more than that.
Being your next level self allows you to live a life of purpose, fulfillment, and freedom.
It’s living life without inhibitions – being able to be happy in your own skin and trusting that you are on the right path or the highest path at that time.
What is Your Next Level Self?
Next level self is used to describe yourself at the next best level or you living your life as your best version. Think of it this way – where were you 5 years ago? You may have been incredibly happy, doing what you love but how would you compare that version of yourself to yourself now?
Hopefully, you’ve learned, grown, and been able to achieve some of your goals.
Being the next level version of yourself is being the best version possible while operating at the next level of your being.
While this may seem tied to goals, it’s important to remember that your version of your highest self may look different than someone else’s version.
For some, this may mean getting a promotion and having your dream job. For others, it’s being able to quit the 9-5, moving to a ranch and doing yoga daily. It might even look like being the best mom you can be to your kids. And each of those versions of the self is incredibly important.
But Why is it Important?
Embodying your next level self is important for a few reasons. First, on the pursuit of being the best version of yourself, you’ll learn, grow, and make mistakes. Making mistakes and challenging yourself is a great way to learn about what you want, yourself, and develop resilience.
Next, we are all on this planet for a limited amount of time. You’ll want to make the most of your time by celebrating yourself each day – honoring yourself, tackling new goals, doing things you love, and striving to be the best you.
And third, you have so many gifts to share with the world. By being the the best version of yourself, you’ll be able to share that gift with others around you.
There are also many other reasons why it’s important – it’s a great form of self care, it will allow you to embrace life with open arms, and you won’t play small anymore. Opportunities open up when you’re open to being the version of yourself that you want to be.
What Are Some Steps You Can Take to Be Your Next Level Self?
In the journey of embodying your next level self, you’ll find it’s not a linear experience. It may be filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, and everything in between. And that’s okay.
When you’re on this journey, it’s important to allow things to happen, embrace change, and get comfortable with the unknown. There could be something amazing right around the corner and if you’re open to things happening with time, you won’t regret the journey.
And sometimes we need to fail or go through redirection. You’re always where you’re supposed to be and trust that the universe will take care of you.
Below we’ve shared some ideas that will allow you to level up your game. When you begin this journey, be gentle with yourself and remember that life is a marathon, not a race.
Visualize Your Ideal Self
The first step to embodying your next level self is to visualize who that person is. Take some time to think about the qualities, habits, and behaviors that your ideal self possesses.
You can sit down and think about your future self or you can use a few journal prompts.
What does this person look like? How do they act? What kind of life do they lead?
If these questions still do not give you a clear idea of your ideal self, ask the question – How would I live my life if I didn’t care about other people’s opinions? In order to be happy and fulfilled in my life, it would look this way…
Once you have a clear picture in your mind, write it down or create a vision board to keep yourself focused and motivated.
Identify Your Limiting Beliefs and Replace Them with Empowering Ones
Limiting beliefs are thoughts or beliefs that hold us back from achieving our goals and living our best life. These beliefs can be deeply ingrained and may have been formed in childhood or through past experiences.
To identify your limiting beliefs, pay attention to the negative self-talk that goes on in your mind. This can be done by a simple exercise. If you have time – a few hours or a day, start to track your thoughts. Do you find yourself saying things like – I don’t deserve that? I can’t afford that. That would never happen to me.
Once you have identified these beliefs, challenge them by asking yourself if they are really true and if they are serving you. It’s important that you take steps to stop judging yourself.
Replace them with empowering beliefs that support your goals and help you become your best self. For example, instead of believing “I’m not good enough,” replace it with “I am capable and worthy of achieving my goals.”

Take Action Towards Your Goals
Once you have identified your goals and limiting beliefs, it’s time to take action toward becoming your best self.
Break down your goals into smaller, achievable steps and create a plan to work towards them. Use the STAR format to help you along the way.
Hold yourself accountable by tracking your progress and celebrating your successes along the way. Remember, embodying your next-level self is a journey, not a destination. Keep taking action towards your goals and trust the process. You have the power to create the life you desire.
If you have trouble with time management, use a prioritization matrix or start scheduling “me time”.
Practice Self-Care and Self-Love
One of the most important steps in embodying your next level self is practicing self-care and self-love. This means taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
If you’re working to be the best version of yourself, it can easy to get exhausted or even discouraged. Take time to remember how far you’ve come and practice positive activities to promote self-care.
Make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
Remember, you are worthy of love and care, and taking care of yourself is essential to living your best life.
And last but not least, rest is important. If you’re setting goals or on a new journey, don’t forget to rest. It’s with rest that we can be recharged.
Surround Yourself with Positive Influences
Surrounding yourself with positive influences is crucial when it comes to embodying your next level self and living your best life. This means surrounding yourself with people who uplift and support you, rather than those who bring you down or drain your energy. And it means setting boundaries with people who do not bring you love or joy.
Seek out friends, mentors, and role models who inspire you and encourage you to grow. You can also surround yourself with positive influences by consuming uplifting and inspiring content, such as books, podcasts, or social media accounts. Remember, the people and content you surround yourself with can have a big impact on your mindset and overall well-being.
