10 Things I Should Start Doing to Become the Best Version of Myself

Motherhood has a beautiful way of reminding us who we are… and who we sometimes forget to be. Between raising kids, working, managing the home, and trying to hold space for our own feelings, it’s easy to lose pieces of ourselves. But becoming the best version of ourselves isn’t about perfection it’s about intention.

Here are 10 things I’m choosing to start doing, slowly but surely, as I grow into the woman, mom, creator, and human I want to be. Maybe these remind you of things you’ve been wanting to do, too.

1. Start prioritizing my well-being without guilt.

As moms, we often place ourselves at the bottom of the priority list. But I’m learning that a rested mom is a better mom. Whether it’s a quick skincare routine, 30 minutes of movement, or simply drinking water before coffee this is where self-love begins.

2. Start saying “no” to things that drain me.

No to overcommitting.
No to saying yes just to be “nice.”
No to anything that steals my peace.
Every no becomes a yes to something better my time, my mental space, my kids.

3. Start being kinder to my body.

My body carried life, healed, stretched, softened, and strengthened. I want to nourish it, move it, and talk to it with the gentleness it deserves. No more punishment just care and appreciation.

4. Start making room for growth.

I want to learn new skills, take risks, and step into opportunities even if my voice shakes a little. Growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones, and I’m ready to outgrow the old version of me.

5. Start celebrating small wins

We clap for our kids when they do something new… why can’t we do the same for ourselves?
Finished editing a vlog? Win.
Chose healthier food today? Win.
Got through the day without giving up? Huge win.
Progress is progress, even if nobody sees it.

6. Start being more present with the people I love.

Not everything has to be posted. Not every moment needs documentation. Sometimes the most beautiful memories come from putting the phone down and being fully there with my child, my family, my heart.

7. Start managing my energy, not just my time.

Some days I’m a supermom.
Some days I’m tired.
And that’s okay.
I’m learning to listen to my energy, honor my limits, and give myself grace on the days when I can’t do it all.

8. Start building routines that support the life I want.

Whether it’s a morning routine that centers me or a night routine that resets my mind, structure is a love letter to my future self. Even simple habits can create powerful change.

9. Start surrounding myself with people who uplift me.

You become who you spend time with. I want more of the people who inspire me, believe in me, and remind me that I’m capable even when I doubt myself. Less drama, more genuine connection.

10. Start choosing myself, every single day.

Not selfishly, but intentionally.
Because when I am whole, grounded, inspired, and cared for… I can pour more love into my child, my home, my work, and my dreams.
Choosing myself isn’t a luxury; it’s necessary.

Final Thoughts

Becoming the best version of myself isn’t a destination. It’s a daily choice. Some days I’ll get it right, some days I won’t. But what matters is that I’m showing up. Growing. Healing. Becoming.

If you’re reading this, maybe it’s your sign to start your own “best version” journey too.

Let’s grow together. 💛
