Why Becoming The Best Version of Yourself Is Boring As Hell
In a world where we glorify transformation, the before and after photos, the rags to riches, the single to married life. The aesthetically pleasing morning routines.
The part no one ever talks about is that bit in the middle.
That awkward part in the middle that boring and unsexy. The space between who you are and who you are becoming.
The part where you’re all doing all the right things, but it still feels like nothing is happening.
No applause, no views, no recognition, no shift…just air.
This is where most people give up. Not because they’re lazy or they don’t want it bad enough, but because they’ve arrived at a point where it just is.
Becoming the best version of yourself requires more than a desire. It requires emotional discipline to keep going even when the process falls to a stalemate, and the invisible remains as just that.
In this article, I’m going to break down why becoming your best self feels so boring at first, what’s actually happening during that season (even when it looks like nothing is), and how to mentally reframe boredom as proof that you’re building something real.
Why You Keep Letting Yourself Down (and How To Finally Stop)
Listen, you’ve got good ideas. Lots of them. You’ve got a strong vision. Big enough to fill an arena. And you’ve made more than a few promises to yourself about who you’re becoming.
But deep down, you also know what it feels like to ignore your inner voice and abandon the plan that’s collecting dust somewhere in the back of your mind as you say “I’ll start on Monday”, knowing you won’t
I know. I’ve been there.
And I soon realised, before I blamed it on motivation or a lack of confidence. This came down to the relationship I had with myself…
It was about self-trust and whether or not I actually believed myself when I said “I can do this”
If second-guessing, starting over, or overthinking is keeping you stuck in a loop, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you, it’s because somewhere along the line, you stopped being someone you could rely on.
The good news is that can change.
But it won’t happen with any more vision board, or an empty morning routine. It starts with honesty, small wins and rebuilding the relationship you have with the most important person in your life, you.
In this article, I reveal the thing you didn’t see that enables you to keep letting yourself down and how to finally stop.
The 48-Hour Reset for When You Feel Unmotivated
A question I hear often tends to run along the lines of:
How do you stay so motivated?
How do you complete that many tasks in a day
How do you remain so disciplined
And yes, I am very disciplined and organised, but I wasn’t always this way.
Believe me, even the most disciplined women have days (or weeks) where nothing can take them over the finish line.
That’s where my 48-hour Reset comes in. A push which allows you to reclaim your motivation even if you’re starting at 1%.
Feeling unmotivated can cause major interruptions in life. Recently, I wrote on my IG stories about the concept of not executing your ideas and having them go to other people if you do not have the motivation or courage to carry them out.
If you don’t move on your ideas, the world won’t wait for you.
Have you ever noticed that sometimes, an idea will pop into your mind, it sparks an emotion, you get excited about it, but instead of acting on it, you hesitate?
Days pass. Weeks. Then suddenly, someone else online is doing exactly what you envisioned, and you’re left wondering, “That was supposed to be me?”.
Ideas are energy, and if you don’t use them, they will find someone else who will.
So when you feel unmotivated, understand this: It’s not just about getting back into the flow, or even on track again, it’s about not missing out on the life that could have been yours if you had just started again
Okay, let’s get into the reset.
Discipline Is The Doorway to Your Dream Reality
How much do you know about the version of you who already lives the life you crave?
Did you know she exists right here, right now?
Not in the distant future, but in a frequency that’s accessed through alignment and embodiment, not waiting or wishing, or hoping. She doesn’t scroll for hours romanticising the soft life, she’s not pondering over another to-do list she won’t complete.
She decides. And then she disciplines herself to become it.
As I’m forming my own sense of discipline, I’ve come to learn that it’s often misunderstood. People associate discipline with rigidity, punishment, or military-style productivity. In fact, that’s exactly what would turn me off from strengthening my own.
But what if we flipped the script? What if discipline was the portal to freedom, empowerment, luxury and even manifestation?
Most people will never get to live out their dream life, (for a number of unfair reasons) but those of us who have a shot won’t, not because they’re incapable, but because they’ve never trained themselves to choose the long game over short-term and instant self-soothing.
That’s where the plot twist lies.
In this article, we unpack what it takes to build unshakeable discipline, the kind of discipline that builds dreams strong enough to withstand the test of time.
The Femme Fatale Framework: How To Step into Your Most Powerful Self
There comes a point in every transformation where the Pinterest vision board are no longer enough, the self-love quotes aren’t quite hitting the same, and the to-do list feels pointless. It’s at this point you realise you need an actual system that rewires how you see yourself, how you think, and how you move through your world.
This is why I created The Femme Fatale Framework.
Now I know the title sounds like an outdated trope of a woman seducing her way through life, but that concept couldn’t be further from this modern and empowering new way of thinking. The Femme Fatale Framework is about remembering your own power, one which cannot be faked, bought or imitated.
It’s about being rooted in your truth, clear in your vision, magnetic in your presence and unstoppable in your energy.
So here’s what the framework is, and why it changes everything.
