Glow Habits: Anchor Into Your Future Self Energy
There’s a version of you who already knows the way.
She’s radiant. She’s soft but fierce. She trusts herself deeply. She walks with intention, laughs from the belly, and speaks her truth without flinching. She’s your Future Self—and she’s been calling you home.
At Glow, we believe becoming her isn’t about hustle, force, or becoming someone you’re not. It’s about remembering who you are. It’s about anchoring into the energy of your future self and living from that frequency now.
That’s where Glow Habits come in.
These are not your average “drink more water, wake up at 5am” type of habits. (Although, hydration is hot, and rest is revolutionary.) Glow Habits are embodied practices—little rituals and rhythms—that activate your Future Self energy and help you show up as the woman you’re becoming.
This blog post is your love letter, toolkit, and invitation to glow up from the inside out. Let’s explore how to connect with your Future Self and anchor into her vibe through intentional habits that heal, expand, and ignite.
Who Is Your Future Self?
Let’s start here.
Your Future Self isn’t just some Pinterest aesthetic or a vision board fantasy (though we love those too). She’s real. She’s alive in your imagination, intuition, and inner knowing. She’s the part of you who’s already aligned with your dreams—emotionally, spiritually, somatically.
She lives the life you secretly long for.
Maybe she’s financially free, dripping in creativity, surrounded by soul sisters, dancing barefoot in Bali, or waking up every day in peace. Maybe she runs a business that lights her up. Maybe she’s healed, happy, held.
The truth is, she’s not far away. She’s already within you.
Glow Habits help you meet her sooner.
Why We Anchor (Not Chase)
In our glow-up culture, it’s easy to fall into the trap of chasing the future: “When I lose weight... when I make six figures... when I find the right partner... then I’ll be confident / joyful / worthy.”
But love, glow isn’t a destination. It’s a frequency.
Anchoring is the feminine way of becoming. It’s about rooting into who you already are—who you’re meant to be—and letting your habits support that alignment.
It’s less about performance and more about presence.
When you anchor into your Future Self energy now, you create a magnetic field that draws the life you desire to you. That’s embodiment. That’s manifestation. That’s glow.
Glow Habits vs. Generic Habits
Let’s get clear: habits are powerful. But Glow Habits hit different.

Glow Habits aren’t about control. They’re about connection—to your body, your energy, your dreams.
Let’s break down what that looks like in real life.
Step 1: Meet Her
First, get to know your Future Self.
This isn’t a “one and done” journaling exercise—it’s an ongoing relationship. Think of her as your inner mentor, your muse, your guide.
Try this journaling prompt:
“The most radiant, fulfilled version of me wakes up feeling… She spends her day doing… She’s surrounded by… She believes… She lets go of… She embodies…”
Really feel into her energy. How does she move? What does her space look like? What kind of conversations does she have? How does she spend her mornings?
Close your eyes and become her for a moment. Feel it in your body. This is the somatic blueprint we’re anchoring into.
Step 2: Choose Embodied Anchors
Now, create habits that reflect her energy.
We call these embodied anchors—small but potent actions that tether you to your Future Self energy throughout the day. They’re not about “doing more,” they’re about being more aligned.
Here are some Glow Habit examples:
1. The Glow Wake-Up
Instead of scrolling, start your morning with one minute of Future Self embodiment. Place your hand on your heart. Breathe. Whisper to yourself:
“Today, I choose to be her.”
Then ask, What does she need today? Maybe it’s stillness. Maybe it’s courage. Maybe it’s a dance party in your kitchen. Follow her lead.
2. Mirror Magic
Each morning or night, look into your own eyes in the mirror and say:
“I am becoming her. I am already her.”
Let your body feel the affirmation. Let your voice carry it into your cells. Mirror work is powerful because it reprograms self-image on a somatic level.
3. Somatic Check-In
Set a timer for 3 moments in your day to pause and check in:
Where’s my breath?
What does my body need?
What’s one thing I can shift right now to return to her energy?
This helps you course-correct in real time, especially when stress, self-doubt, or old patterns creep in.
4. Glow Rituals
Pick one small daily ritual that makes you feel luxurious, cared for, and alive. Examples:
Anointing your body with oil
Drinking tea with your dreams
Listening to Future You playlists
Lighting a candle and setting an intention before work
Taking a 5-minute barefoot walk at sunset
It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to feel like her.
5. Glow Words
Your Future Self speaks differently—kinder, bolder, more lovingly. Practice catching yourself when you self-criticise, and reframe with compassion.
Start using power phrases like:
“This gets to be easy.”
“I am allowed to be seen.”
“I trust myself.”
“This is part of my expansion.”
Step 3: Design Your Glow Routine
We’re not about rigid schedules here. But some structure can serve your softness.
Try crafting a Glow Routine based on your energy peaks and seasons. Here’s a flexible example:
Morning (Energise & Embody)
Wake slowly and check in with your body
Move intuitively: stretch, sway, shake it off
Drink warm lemon water and affirm: I radiate from the inside out
Journal with your Future Self
Midday (Power & Pleasure)
Take a break to reconnect: step outside, dance, or breathe
Do one brave thing aligned with her (send the email, say no, say yes)
Eat something nourishing—and actually enjoy it
Evening (Reflect & Receive)
Light a candle and reflect: What did I learn today? How did I show up as her?
Celebrate even the smallest win
Wind down with beauty: oils, soft music, rest
You can make this routine your own. Just ask: Would Future Me do this?
Step 4: Feel Safe to Expand
Here’s the thing: becoming your Future Self can feel scary. Expansion brings up resistance.
That’s okay. It’s normal to wobble.
Your nervous system might want to cling to old identities: the version of you who plays small, stays silent, or sabotages. That’s why somatic practices are key. They help your body feel safe to receive more joy, abundance, and love.
Glow Habits aren’t about pushing past discomfort. They’re about partnering with your body and gently growing your capacity to hold more light.
Try this:
When you notice fear or resistance, place one hand on your heart and say,
“It’s safe to grow. It’s safe to shine. It’s safe to become her.”
Let your body feel the reassurance. That’s the real glow-up.
Step 5: Rewire With Repetition
Habits don’t create change overnight—but your daily devotion to your glow? That’s unstoppable.
Each time you show up, you’re building new neural pathways, strengthening your self-trust, and activating your Future Self energy.
Small things. Done consistently. In love. That’s the Glow way.
Real Talk: You Are Already Her
You’re not waiting to become your Future Self.
You already are her. Every time you choose joy, speak truth, take rest, create art, honour your body—you are her.
Glow Habits aren’t about fixing yourself. They’re about remembering your power.
You don’t need to hustle your way into your dream life. You can anchor into it now. You can embody it now. You can live from that frequency and let it ripple out through everything you touch.
This is your invitation to rise, softly.

Here are a few final prompts to help you bring this blog to life:

In Closing…
The glow-up is not just a season. It’s a sacred becoming.
By anchoring into your Future Self energy with intention, embodiment, and love, you collapse the timeline between who you were, who you are, and who you’re here to be.
Let Glow Habits be your anchors—your gentle rituals of becoming.
Because she’s not far away.
She’s already within you.
And she’s so ready to rise.
