So today in this video, I will tell you about five things that will make you the hottest version of yourself spiritually and physically in 2026. Let's go.
[music]
And before I start talking about all the external things like skincare, makeup, hair, clothing, I want to talk about the person that you simply can never escape. It's the girl that looks at you every single day in the mirror, your own reflection, and healing the relationship with your own reflection. I will genuinely hope that 2026 will be the year where you wake up and you go to sleep and you look at yourself in a mirror with loving eyes, with eyes full of care and understanding and compassion towards yourself because enough, seriously enough of judging yourself and hating your body and hating yourself. 2026 is the year where you stop being your own enemy and you become your biggest supporter, biggest cheerleader, and biggest advocate.
For so many years, I was so cruel to myself. Nobody could see it. Nobody could understand it. It's in your head. And you know, only you know how you treat yourself and how judgmental this voice can get in your head if you simply cannot stop it or shut it off because it gets to the point where you simply become mean to yourself. What for? What does it do to you? How does it help you? How does it serve you? Every breakout on your face, every time you're swollen or bloated or you gain weight, just look how you talk to yourself. Look who you become. You would never talk to your best friend the way you talk to yourself. Every bad photo that I took, I would look at myself and be like, "Ew, who is this? Why do I look like this?" When one day I woke up and I was like, "Literally, halas, enough. Enough of talking to myself like that. I don't deserve this." It would make me so insecure. It would bring my mood down constantly. And who did that to myself? Exactly me. Nobody else but me.
Listen, I had to work so hard this year to never connect my self-esteem to the way I see myself in the mirror or the pictures because my self-esteem is not about how I look. It's not about how I feel. I deserve to be loved and appreciated regardless. Simply because I'm born, simply because I have a place on this earth. I deserve to feel confident and to get anything I want in this life. Simply because I exist and I have a place on this earth means that I'm enough to be cared for, to be appreciated, and to be a human. Even though my work is on social media and social media can really mess up the way you see this world, my self-esteem is not attached to that. My self-esteem is attached to the size of my heart, to the size of my actions, and the way I treat myself and the world around me. But it used to be literally hell when I would let my mood change based on the number on my scale, based on how I look today, how many pimples I have on my face. That literally would shake my confidence like crazy. But then I realized that my reflection is not my enemy. My reflection is the result of how I treat myself. And once you start talking to yourself nicely, your whole face changes. You literally become happier simply from the thoughts that you think. Your energy and your aura changes based on the thoughts that you have in your head. It's crazy. So my biggest glow up started not from changing my diet or starting a new workout plan. It changed from me stopping attacking myself and starting to become my own biggest supporter and cheerleader and a friend. I started helping myself instead of constantly picking on myself.
And here are some practical, non-general tools and tips that you can use on a daily basis. Stop forcing affirmations you simply don't believe in. It's toxic. We only receive what we believe in. If you don't believe in it, but you keep repeating it to yourself, it's just going to trigger you so much. So, stop doing that. Instead, go to the mirror, look at yourself, and start thanking your body for the things that it does for you. Thank you, eyes, for letting me see this world. Thank you, my brain, for keeping me conscious and letting me do simple daily human tasks so automatically. Isn't that magical that everything in your body is so automated on its own, almost? But you focus on judging yourself and judging your body. Instead, choose to help yourself and to learn how you work. Learn how your body works so you can help it.
Another tip, stop comparing yourself to your old self. Just stop doing that. I honestly genuinely hate when people are like, "Oh, I need to get back into doing this or that." You never get back. There's only forward from the moment you're in. There's only forward.
[snorts]
And every time you evolve, you create a new version of yourself. I used to get so attached to like my prime days where I felt great, where I felt like I'm, you know, my best self, but I don't want to be her anymore. I only look forward to the things that are going to happen to me. And and there's just no point in doing so. Comparison literally kills your joy and your glow. So instead of focusing on your past, enjoy the present moment and think how you can be even better tomorrow. Don't think about years and years ahead. Think about tomorrow. Small steps that will lead you and get you to where you want to be.
Also, one more little tip that really helps me whenever I feel anxious about my look or something starts making me insecure. I remember about God and how he created me. Every time I start getting these thoughts in my head, I'm like, God created me in a perfect way. I carry a part of God inside of me. I'm God's creation. There's no way he created me imperfect. He created me exactly how I'm supposed to be. There's nothing to be ashamed of. There's nothing to be worried about. His love is unconditional and he is always with me. When I found God, my perception of myself changed completely as well. So there's no more point into going into that rabbit hole of like constant judging and judging and judging yourself and my imperfections. They're not my weakness. They're instructions to how to get to a better version of myself.
I know this one might sound really unexpected, but 2026 is all about detoxing yourself properly. And I'm not talking about turning off your phone for 24 hours or like drinking a sad green juice and calling it a cleanse. I'm talking about the proper way of restoring your energy, resetting your system, and helping your parasympathetic system relax and restore. One of the biggest things that will change your life is how to cope with stress, how to help yourself recover and restore in stressful situations instead of putting more pressure on yourself and stressing even more. And the thing that shocked me with how much it changed my recovery routine is a HigherDOA blanket that I got recently this year. It's honestly the closest thing to a luxury spa experience, except it's at home. You don't have to go anywhere. I literally get back home, turn off the lights, I have to turn on one button, I zip myself up, and it becomes this warm, safe blanket, this cocoon that makes me feel so relaxed and so restored. And my entire nervous system just lets go and I literally lose a sense of time. And I don't have any thoughts in my head when I'm doing that. Within just 30 minutes, I go from overstimulated to very restored. My mind stops racing. My body just relaxes. My muscles relax. And it's the time where I like to either listen to some classical music or a podcast and just be with myself. And the benefits of doing that simple thing are insane. I sleep every time I do it so much better, so much deeper. I feel less bloated. I sweat out all the things, all the toxins, all the water that I retain in my body. The next day, my mood is so much better and my muscles, they just recover so much faster. Also, the Sona blanket boosts your circulation and lymphatic flow. Basically, all the things that make you so much more energized, healthier, and hotter. So, if you want the glow routine that actually works beyond the surface level, beyond the aesthetics, this is it. The HigherDO Sona Blanket genuinely became one of my favorite wellness tools. And I'm so happy to finally get to share it with you. I'll leave you the link below in my description and my code if you want to use it. Go check it out after this video because 2026 is not about the outside glow. It's about the internal changes and internal glow up first.
Thing number three, the most underrated beauty secret is fixing your hormones. After I fixed my hormones, my whole personality, my whole body has changed. Because a few years ago, I would wake up so anxious, so swollen, so puffy. My food cravings and sugar cravings at night were insane. I didn't know what was going on with my body, but I felt from the inside that something is wrong. Something is off. So, I went and I did a blood test and I figured that my hormones, my estrogen and progesterone are super low. My cortisol, my testosterone are actually up. My vitamin D levels are low. And all of that mix is a crazy combination for feeling irritated, feeling anxious on a daily basis, and not having libido or feminine energy at all. And that's exactly what was happening to me. My body was literally off. I looked like a woman, but I did not have this raw sexual beautiful feminine energy, which is so natural to us when we have balanced hormones, when we have a healthy, stable cycle. Oh, and not to forget to mention that I literally didn't have periods for 4 years. And you would ask me, "Oh, why didn't you care to recover it?" Well, I honestly had a stupid mentality where I was like, "Oh, I'm not planning to have kids anytime soon, so why would I care?" Honestly, not having periods is so comfortable and so convenient where you don't have to worry about it every month, but it's so wrong on all levels because every month you have periods. It's a process of release. Releasing of the blood, releasing of your egg, releasing of the energy, the toxins. It is cleansing your body together with this process. It's insanely important for your health and for your well-being and for your hormones and for your existence. So, if you don't have a healthy cycle, it's the first thing that you need to focus on this year. Like starting right now, I'm not kidding.
And the funny thing that for years I was doing everything right. I was having a healthy lifestyle, eating super super healthy, was super disciplined with my workouts, with whatever I'm doing. I literally had the healthiest routine ever. I was sleeping every night and I felt so drained. I felt so anxious, so irritated. And I would gain weight like that simply because the hormonal health was absolutely imbalanced. Number one thing that I started doing is I added supplements based on my blood test results. I added supplements into my life. I started taking vitamin D, which is a pro-hormone. I started taking magnesium to help me relax at night. I started taking multivitamins. Started taking vitamin B complex. And I started doing completely different workouts. Instead of focusing on weights and lifting weights every day, I started doing, you know, walks and Pilates and dance classes, which helped me to feel my body in completely different ways. And I stopped putting so much pressure on my body and so much physical activity on my body, which also helped me unlock my feminine energy and helped me reduce the stress level that I was putting on myself. The only thing that helped me the most with my cravings at night is adding protein. If you crave sugary foods, fatty foods, unhealthy processed foods at night, you're not eating enough protein. You think you eat enough. You don't eat enough protein. And protein together with healthy carbs, you have no idea how much effort it took and how much time it took to heal my relationship with carbs. And now carbs are literally my best friend because when you eat the right carbs, complex carbs together with the protein, it creates the most beautiful, most incredible body you can dream about. Sweet potato with salmon, chicken with rice, meat with couscous, I don't know, with pasta. And it's the most incredible fuel and foundation for your workouts and for your body to create the most beautiful lean physique. When I was eating just plain salads and protein, like super lean food without carbs, I had zero energy. It was so hard to go through the day. Carbs are not your enemy. They actually help you create the most beautiful body. I started taking electrolytes every single day, which helped me with hydrating my body on a daily basis. And one of the best things I made a habit is after I wake up, I don't touch my phone for 1 hour at least. I have a rule with myself. When I wake up, my phone is off. It's charging, but it's off. I go wash my face. I brush my teeth. I put on a mask and I grab my Bible and a prayer book. So, I'm only allowed to touch my phone and go on social media after I've prayed and talked to God. The most important part of my morning is how I started. And it has to be me and God. Me expressing gratitude for everything I have and talking to him to set my day right. And then I touch my phone. This little thing also decreased my anxiety levels and my stress levels tremendously. So doing all these little things together has helped me to recover my feminine health and fix my hormones and also made me realize that being a woman is an absolute gift, but you have to learn and take responsibility for living in a woman's body and know how it works so you can help it.
Thing number four that will make you the hottest version of yourself in 2026 is replacing men's validation with God's love. My true biggest spiritual glow up happened when I changed and switched my focus from finding men and finding a perfect partner to focusing on God and trusting him with the choice of my husband and the choice of the time when this has to happen. I live with him synergistically every single day. I pray to him. I praise him and I trust him with whoever has to come into my life. And [clears throat] and it truly changed my life because it helped me to go from lonely to absolutely complete and happy on my own. I'm never alone anymore. I have God. He takes care of me on a daily basis. He's there for me and he keeps his promises like no man ever did in my life. He always shows up. I'm saying that because the more I connect with him, the more I open my heart to him, the more I pray and I'm stable with showing up for him, the more he shows up to me every day. You have no idea. I could just think about something and I'm like, "Oh, it would have been so great if I hang out with this person more." And literally the next day I see this person randomly on the street and we spend the whole day together. That's what happened to me yesterday. Also a real story from my life. I was walking on the street and I was praying about getting more jobs, more projects, more partnerships. I was talking to God like he's my best friend, like he's someone who I can truly rely on. And that exact moment I literally opened my phone and I received an email with a partnership from a client of mine. It's unbelievable how things work when you are in contact with your higher self, with God, with the universe. Call it however you want, but you believe, you obey, and you are filled with his love and you let him be in your life. It's so beautiful. His love gave me stability, which no man for the past few years has ever been able to provide to me. And that shifted everything.
So here is my spiritual routine that might help you. I wake up in the morning and I pray. Sometimes I pray reading the prayer book. And sometimes I feel like I just want my genuine conversation with God. So I pray in my own words. I just talk to him and I ask for things. I ask for the way I want this day to go. Sometimes when I have a very strong emotion, I open my journal. I actually have it here. And I write here in my journal as if I'm talking to God. I start with "Dear God" and I talk to him. But when you write, you actually structure your thoughts in a better way. So it helps me to release my emotions, to go through my emotions. Another thing I do is I study my Bible together with ChatGPT. You know, it's really hard to just go read the Bible on its own. But I ask ChatGPT based on the way I feel, based on my current life situation, which verses or which pages in the Bible I should study or read so that they can help me to go through my day or to go through emotions that I'm dealing with, and he gives me guidance. He gives me the pages. I open them and I study them. And if I don't understand something, I ask ChatGPT to explain this or that. So that has been really helpful as well. And just trusting God, taking away the fear from yourself that you have to do everything on your own and allowing him to lead. It doesn't mean that you take responsibility off of your shoulders. It means that you do everything you can, but you ask God to show you the way, to lead you, to give you signs, to help you understand how to see him and how to seek him. The real glow doesn't come from your makeup. It comes from your peace.
And thing number five that will make you the hottest version of yourself in 2026 is respectfully removing people from your life with whom you don't feel safe of being yourself. You know, there's people that you literally just met, but they give you a sense of comfort and stability and safety with whom you just click and you can talk for hours and it feels like you know them for years. You're not afraid to be who you are and to be weird, cringe, funny. You just, you're comfortable with them. And there's people with whom you meet and just automatically you feel like you put a mask on and there's a wall between you and them and you're scared to overshare. It's the way they look, the way they act, the way they speak to you, how they fake emotions. I don't know how to explain this, but it's just such an automatic process. Your body knows those people. With some people, they're not doing anything to you, but your body's so tense. But with some people, you're just relaxed and happy and loose. So, it will make you so much hotter, my girl, if in 2026, you will curate a circle of people around you that will make you feel safe. I'd rather have you less people in your life, but they will be genuine, real people who you love, who take care of you, and who you want to take care of, rather than have you so many people around and all these parties and going out, but they just make you feel empty and lonely. Don't ghost people. That's not what I'm saying. Just, you know, remove them. But respectfully and gracefully communicate and explain that you don't feel like this is a match and just explain to people. Never ghost them, please, because it hurts to be ghosted. It hurts. If you've ever been ghosted, you don't want people to feel this way. So, don't be that kind of person, but focus on finding great girlfriends. I'm telling you, without my two best friends, I wouldn't be me. There's no me without my two best friends that I have. They're completely different girls, completely different parts of the world, but we just clicked and their support, their communication every single day. We talk every single day. It's just precious. You know, some people, they're just family, not by blood, but by choice. So I really wish you to find those kind of people in your life in 2026. And in order to create that, you have to be social, you have to be nice, you have to be open to people, and you have to be friendly at least. So don't judge people based on, you know, the first impression, the first time you see them. Don't be rude to people. Please let them show you who they are. Pay attention and see how your body feels. You know, usually the first time, the first impression doesn't lie, but there's some moments where people were just in a difficult situation, you know, stressful situation. So, they acted a certain way and trust your instincts. But stop. Please, I beg you, stop pleasing those that don't show you the same interest to hang out with you, to help you as you do. If you reached out once, if you reached out twice, but from their side, you don't get reciprocation, leave them alone. There's 8 billion people in this world. I promise there's people that would love to be your best friends. Don't chase that person who doesn't want to be with you. Have some dignity. Have some values.
Actually, one last thing I want to recommend you to do before I finish this video is take your journal, write your whole 2026 year in past tense as if it already happened. Who are the people that you met? Where did you go? Where did you travel? What kind of work you're doing? How's your career growing? As if it already happened for you. If you keep that journal and you read it at the end of the year next year, you will see how many incredible things will happen to you besides of what you write. But writing it really programs your brain and your subconscious to truly move towards those things and achieve them. I've done it multiple times and it actually works. Just promise me one thing. Don't be scared of dreaming big. The universe is not on a budget. You can get whatever you want. You just need to allow yourself first to have it. You have to believe that you can have it and then you will have it. Faith starts with the belief and then it creates your reality. Ask and you shall receive.
Well, that was it for today, guys. I really hope that you enjoyed this video and I hope you got at least a little bit of motivation to start your new year in a different way.
