#Christian that girl

sooooo that girl content? 👀

What do you think is the ‘checklist’ to be one?

Waking up at 6 AM or earlier every morning no matter what, and going to bed earlier as a result

Daily Bible and prayer time for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer. And intentionally pray multiple times a day

Self-discipline

Consistency

Routine and habits

Delayed gratification

Daily exercise

Highly limit social media- assess where it adds actual value to your life and cut everything else out ruthelessly

Asking who you want to be. Then seeing what steps you need to take to get there. Then do it.

Blocking out distractions

Saying no to people

Have a clean space

Drink water and eat healthy foods

Only have friends who bring actual value to your life. You don’t need thirty friends. A handful of ride-or-dies is all you need

Having a simple effective beauty routine. Rather than jumping on beauty trends or obsessing over your appearence, figure out how to enhance your natural beauty and stick with it. Genuinely teach yourself to love the way you look and be confident in it without becoming vain.

Treating yourself with the value and respect that God sees in you

Having beauty (inner and outer) and intelligence be your default setting

Keep your cards close to your chest, only share required information with people you trust

Always be learning. If you’re in school, achieve academic excellence. If you’re not, still be learning things each day and filling your mind with knowledge. Read books and articles, and listen to podcasts and watch informative movies and videos

People will always be smarter than you and wiser than you. Surround yourself with those people and ask them to teach you

Intentionally look for the beauty in everything and be thankful for it

You can always grow and improve more in every area

Set yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals and break down the steps to achieve them and follow through. Focus on the proccess

Devote yourself to the things you love

Focus on the mindset > the aesthetic

Stop consuming self-improvement content and actually doing the hard work that self-improvement requires

Don’t tie yourself to anyone’s opinions but God and people who also follow His will

Work on your dreams. Actually work on them, don't just dream about them. If it seems impossible, do whatever you have to do to make it achievable

Kick laziness and procrastination out the window

Intentionally set aside time to rest and make sure that the time you rest is actually restful and fills you up. And when you’re not resting, you’re working.

Make a list of your priorities, in order. The ones at the top are what you spend the most time on, and things that aren't on the list don't deserve your attention

Hold yourself accountable for what you do every day. Celebrate your wins, and acknowledge your losses. What do you fail at, figure out why, and then take the steps to make sure that it won't happen again

Take care of your outer physical body and your mental health

Quit the excuses. There is a difference between having an actual legitimate reason for not doing something and just trying to beg off how you've failed yourself.

Develop a good work ethic

Do not shy away from hard conversations that make you uncomfortable and force you to change the way you think

Do small acts of beauty and self-care each day that only take a few minutes, but make you feel good and excite you

Forgive yourself for your past mistakes and failures but don't let it happen again

Be kind and humble and loving to everyone. But people who haven't proven themselves to you haven't earned anything from you

Motivation is wonderful. Find it, use it, harness it. But it isn't constant. Be able to work just as much with it as you can without it

Praise God for the work He has done in you and the prayers He has answered. What you have right now? That just used to be a pleading cry for help. Thank Him for it, it came from Him and not you, and make sure everyone else knows it.

Develop speech and debate skills

Develop a workout routine that covers all the bases and that you genuinely enjoy doing. The goal of working out should not be to punish yourself or your body, but to love to move your body and get physically stronger and more capable.

No screens for the first or last hour of the day

And finally, submit everything that you do to the Lord and ensure that it is His will. And if you are ever unsure if He wants you to take a course of action or not, just step out in faith and see what happens.

I know that this list sounds exhausting and utterly impossible. But it isn't. It has taken me three years from the time I decided to start caring about myself in this way and becoming a hard-working disciplined 'Christian That Girl' to today, but I am here. Every single thing on this list I actively do, I'm not just listing it to sound better than I am. I'm not perfect at it and I mess up sometimes. But I do intentionally do each and every one of these things. And guess what? I started seeing results from the immediate things after days. And a lot of these longer term things are only a few months of hard work away.

At the end of the day, if you don't have something you want that you could've had, that's because you chose comfort in the moment over success in the future. Of course, life and tragedy happens, but for way more things than you realize, YOU are in control of your life and everything that you do has consequences. It is up to you to decide if they will be positive or negative. Don't look back kicking yourself saying 'I wish I had spent my time doing that.' Instead, look back and say, 'Praise God I spent my time doing that.'

Your first pride story was touching and all but you still married a man.

Yeah, bisexuals do that sometimes.
