0:00You want to know what your problem is?
0:01You show up for everything except for
0:03the things that you want for yourself.
0:04[music] And now, after giving all of
0:06your time and attention to everyone
0:07else, you're fed up with your life
0:09because you're still not becoming the
0:11woman that you desire to be. But because
0:13you clicked on this video, I know that
0:14you're tired of feeling disappointed and
0:16you're ready to finally lock in. And in
0:18today's video, we're going to talk about
0:19how to do exactly that in order to
0:21change your life and step into your best
0:24era yet, even if that means going ghost
0:26for a [music] while. But first, hey,
0:27hello. Welcome or welcome back to the
0:29channel. If you're new here, my name is
0:30Charerelle and on this channel, we're
0:32all about personal development with a
0:34sprinkle of personal brand [music]
0:35building. So, take a second to subscribe
0:37to the channel and let's get straight
0:38into the video. Sometimes it is easier
0:40to figure out who you want to become by
0:42getting clear about who it is that you
0:44refuse to become. And normally people
0:46will tell you to think of a role model
0:48or someone you look up to. I want you to
0:50do the complete opposite. So, in
0:51psychology, this is known as the feared
0:53possible self. And this is a deeply
0:55unwanted version of who you are
0:57terrified you might secretly be or
0:59become. So to do this, think of the kind
1:01of woman that you know you absolutely
1:03want to be nothing like. And this can be
1:04a collection of women, no shade, no tea,
1:06but it can be women that you've seen on
1:08reality TV, someone that you know in
1:10real life, or even the past versions of
1:12yourself that you know you've outgrown.
1:14We're going to call her your antiself.
1:16So maybe she's someone who's always
1:17caught up in drama. She's always falling
1:19out with people. She makes excuses. or
1:21she just lets her emotions make every
1:23decision for her. What I want you to do
1:24is write down her habits, her mindset,
1:26and her behavior. And then next to each
1:28of those traits, write down what the
1:30woman that you want to become would do
1:31instead. This is going to be your new
1:33era list. It will serve as a clear
1:35reminder of the changes that you're
1:36making in this season. Next, I want you
1:38to look at your list and think about the
1:40choices that you're making today. You
1:42may want to learn more, but you spend a
1:43lot of hours scrolling and you never
1:45even pick up a book. That's where your
1:46habits need to change. So, your
1:48anti-self is the woman who's going to
1:50just keep scrolling. But the woman that
1:51you're becoming, she's the woman who's
1:53going to put the phone down and pick up
1:54a book. So for each gap between your
1:56future self and your current self, I
1:58want you to write down one thing that
2:00you're going to do differently. The goal
2:01for this is not to completely change
2:03overnight. Over time, those better
2:05choices become better habits. And those
2:07better habits is what's going to change
2:08your life. Normally going goals means
2:10like pulling back from social media,
2:12going out less, and spending less time
2:14in certain circles so that you can focus
2:16on yourself. But I want you to think
2:18about it a little differently in this
2:19season. So when we think about an actual
2:22ghost, it's something that's still
2:23lingering after that person is gone. And
2:26obviously you're not transitioning
2:27between life and death, but you are
2:29transitioning between who you used to be
2:31and who you're becoming. So in a way,
2:33going ghost is about letting your old
2:35self become a ghost. the routines that
2:38you know aren't working, the places you
2:39keep going just because that's what you
2:41always do, the habits, the distractions,
2:44and even the old ways of thinking that
2:46keep you connected to a life that you're
2:48trying to move on from. This is your
2:49chance to create some space from all of
2:51that and give yourself room to change.
2:53And no, this doesn't mean that you have
2:54to lock yourself in your house for 6
2:56months. You can still see your friends
2:58and your family, travel, go out a little
3:00bit, and enjoy your life. It just means
3:02that you are being more selective about
3:04where your time and energy are going. So
3:06that's really what locking in and going
3:08ghost means to me. For a season, you
3:10become less present in the life that
3:12you're leaving behind so that you can
3:13become more present in the one that
3:15you're creating. And eventually the old
3:17version of you should feel like someone
3:19that you used to know. So now let's get
3:20into actually rebranding yourself. And
3:23before we touch on your appearance, we
3:24need to start with your identity. So
3:26your values, your beliefs, and the
3:28qualities that make you who you are.
3:30because you can change your entire
3:31aesthetic, but if nothing changes
3:33underneath it, eventually you're going
3:34to continue to fall back into the same
3:36version of yourself. So, start with your
3:38core values, what will matter to you
3:40regardless of time. Discipline might
3:42matter because you have goals that
3:43require you to be consistent.
3:45Intelligence might mean that you never
3:47stop learning even when you're already
3:49good at what you do. Independence might
3:51mean having your own money, growing it,
3:53and knowing you have options. So, what I
3:55want you to do is pick three to five
3:56values and think about what they would
3:58actually look like in your life. Then
4:00we're going to look at your limiting
4:01beliefs. So, what have you been telling
4:03yourself for so long that you're
4:04starting to treat it like a part of who
4:06you are? You can be successful and still
4:08think that you're not ready for the next
4:10opportunity. You can look good and still
4:12struggle with confidence. You can make
4:14great money and still believe that
4:16you're bad with it. Write down those
4:17limiting beliefs and start paying
4:19attention to the choices that you make
4:21because of them. And finally, give this
4:23era a name. Mine has become the brand.
4:25For me, that means that I'm not waiting
4:26until I have everything figured out or
4:28perfect. I'm going to capture my journey
4:30and share it. The challenges that I'm
4:32faced and the things that I'm working
4:33through will always be a part of my
4:35personal brand. Choose something that
4:37reminds you who you're choosing to be
4:38while you're locking in in this season
4:40because that's really what this rebrand
4:42is about is deciding who you want to
4:44become and starting to live like her
4:46now. Now, let's talk about your
4:47self-image. Because as you start
4:49changing, you may realize the way that
4:51you've been presenting yourself doesn't
4:52really match where you're going anymore.
4:54And I'm not just talking about wanting
4:55to look better so that you can attract a
4:57certain guy. Think about the life that
4:59you're building. Maybe you're trying to
5:00move up in your career, grow a business,
5:03attract better clients, or build a
5:04personal brand. In all of those spaces,
5:06how you present yourself becomes a part
5:08of how people experience you. So, of
5:10course, looking good doesn't replace
5:12being smart or talented or good at what
5:14you do. But people don't know all of you
5:16when they first meet you. They can only
5:18see how you show up. And research has
5:20found that things like clothing and the
5:22way that you groom yourself can
5:23influence how competent or professional
5:25that you appear. Maybe you want to look
5:27more polished at work. Maybe you're
5:28building a personal brand and you want a
5:30more recognizable style. Or maybe you've
5:32been making more money now and you would
5:34rather invest in a few things that you
5:36genuinely love instead of constantly
5:38buying trends. This is something that
5:40I'm going to be working on during this
5:41lockin season. And so what I usually
5:43like to do is get on Pinterest to save
5:45images of outfits, hair, and makeup.
5:47Just an overall image of the woman that
5:49I want to grow into. I'll link my
5:51Pinterest down below just in case you
5:52want some inspiration, but you can do
5:54the same. The goal with this is simple.
5:56Just make sure that the way that you
5:58present yourself is growing with the
5:59life that you're building. Now, let's
6:01talk about your career because I truly
6:03believe that every woman needs her own
6:05money. Period. And if the work that
6:07you're doing right now isn't taking you
6:09where you want to go, this might be an
6:10area of your life that needs to be
6:12rebranded, too. So, when I say career, I
6:14mean all of it. Maybe you have a 9-5 and
6:16you want to make more money or you want
6:18to move into a better position. Maybe
6:20you're building a business on the side.
6:22Maybe you already own a business or
6:24you're building a personal brand and
6:25you're trying to figure out how to
6:26actually make some money from it. You do
6:28not have to stay on the same path just
6:30because it's the one that you started
6:31on. So Rihanna is a perfect example. She
6:34expanded into beauty and fashion and
6:36built an entire empire on the side of
6:38her music career with Fenty. And the
6:40cool thing with this was no, she didn't
6:42rebrand who she was as a person all
6:44together to make this pivot. I think
6:46there's something to learn from that. So
6:48sometimes you already have the skills,
6:50the experience, connections, or even an
6:52audience that you could be doing more
6:54with. Look at your own situation. Are
6:56you being paid what your skills are
6:57worth? Is there another position that
6:59you could be working towards? Do you
7:00need to update your resume, your
7:02LinkedIn, or your portfolio? Is there a
7:04skill that you could learn that would
7:06increase your income? And if you have a
7:07business or a personal brand, is there
7:09something that you could be selling or
7:11doing differently? So, I want you to sit
7:12down and look at where you are and where
7:14you actually want to be in the next few
7:16years and what would realistically have
7:18to change for you to get there. You may
7:20not need a completely new career. You
7:22might just need to stop playing so small
7:24with the one that you already have. And
7:26if you're rebranding your career because
7:28you want to make more money, you also
7:29have to look at what you're doing with
7:31the money that you already have because
7:33you can increase your income and still
7:34carry the same habits that keep you
7:36feeling like you're falling behind
7:38financially. Now, be honest. Think about
7:40how you've been handling your money up
7:42until this point. Maybe you spend
7:44without really checking your account.
7:45You save whatever happens to be left
7:47over. Or you make good money, but you
7:49still find yourself wondering where it
7:51is all going. Now, think about the woman
7:53that you're trying to become. Maybe
7:55she's a lot more intentional with her
7:56money. She knows what's coming in. She
7:58knows what's going out. And she's
8:00thinking about what she wants her money
8:01to do for her long term instead of only
8:03thinking about what she can afford right
8:05now. So, for me, this has been a area
8:07that I have really been locking in with
8:09and focusing on. And I'm learning that
8:11what helps me is really knowing what my
8:13numbers are. So, I use an Excel
8:14spreadsheet to track my income and my
8:16bills. And before every pay period hits,
8:19I already know what's going towards my
8:20living expenses, my savings, and
8:22investments. I also like to keep my
8:24financial goals in front of me because I
8:26want to know if the way that I'm
8:27spending is helping me reach my goals or
8:29if it's slowing me down. So, look at
8:31your own money. Where has it actually
8:33been going for the last few months? Are
8:34you spending it on things that you don't
8:36even care about? Are there subscriptions
8:38that you have forgotten about? Are you
8:40saving and investing consistently or
8:42only when there happens to be a little
8:43money left over? For me, changing my
8:45relationship with money has also meant
8:47realizing that I may not have everything
8:49that I want, but everything that I need
8:51is definitely taken care of. And that's
8:53what I want for you as well. So, when we
8:54talk about rebranding your finances,
8:56that's exactly what I want you to think
8:57of. It's not rebranding money in
9:00general, but it is rebranding the
9:01relationship that you have with that
9:03money. Because the goal isn't just to
9:05make more money. It's to become better
9:07at growing it, keeping it, and using it
9:09to create opportunities for yourself.
9:11And once you start changing how you
9:13handle your money, it's going to be
9:14really important to look at your
9:15lifestyle as well. Because there may be
9:17things that you've been doing for years
9:19that just doesn't make sense for the
9:21life that you want anymore. Maybe you're
9:22tired of going out every weekend. Maybe
9:24you would rather travel, get in shape,
9:26learn how to cook, pick up a hobby, or
9:29spend more time working on your
9:30business. And even your home might need
9:32some attention. So, if you're going to
9:33be locking in and you're going to be
9:35spending more time at home anyways, make
9:37it somewhere you actually enjoy being.
9:39And really pay attention to who you're
9:41around because that becomes a part of
9:42your lifestyle as well. There's a
9:44saying, birds of a feather flock
9:46together, but there's actually research
9:47showing that some behaviors can
9:49definitely spread through your social
9:50networks. So, if everyone around you is
9:52always going out, they're spending
9:54money, they're eating a certain way,
9:55after a while, you may not even question
9:57it. It becomes just what everyone else
9:59is doing. And this is where going goals
10:01can actually be very helpful. A little
10:03distance gives you a chance to figure
10:04out, do I even enjoy living my life this
10:07way, or is it just something that I'm
10:08used to? And since the whole point of
10:10locking in is to really focus on
10:11yourself for a season, use this time to
10:13create a lifestyle that supports the
10:15life that you want to sustain. Get your
10:17sleep together, move your body, take
10:18care of your mental health, spend more
10:20time on the things that you keep saying
10:22are important to you. The point of
10:24locking in isn't to make your life
10:25boring. It's just to make sure that the
10:28way that you live every day is actually
10:30taking you where you want to go. So, now
10:31that we talked about all the different
10:33areas of your life that you can rebrand,
10:35I want to encourage you to use this
10:36season to document the transformation
10:38that's happening. There's a reason why
10:40before and afters are so powerful. So,
10:42think about someone who loses 50 lbs.
10:44Seeing the before and the after gets
10:45your attention, but then you want to
10:47know what did they do? What did they
10:49learn? What actually worked? So research
10:51on storytelling has found that when
10:53people get pulled into someone's story,
10:55we can become more connected to that
10:56person and the message behind it. I want
10:58you to think about your own
10:59transformation that way. Document
11:01building your career, your business,
11:02your money, your lifestyle, all of it.
11:04Because every time you go through
11:05something and you come out better on the
11:07other side, you know something that the
11:09woman at the beginning didn't know. And
11:11that knowledge has value. I believe that
11:13personal development can become your
11:15personal brand because your growth
11:17doesn't have to stop with you. You go
11:18through things, you get challenged, you
11:20learn something new, you apply it to
11:22your life, you get the results, and then
11:23you can turn around and use that to help
11:25the next person. And you can keep doing
11:27this because there is no final version
11:29of you. [music] You'll always have
11:30goals. You'll always be faced with
11:32another challenge, another level that
11:33you want to reach. Your transformation
11:36makes you better. What you learn from it
11:38makes you valuable. and passing that
11:40knowledge forward is how you grow
11:41something bigger than yourself. So, if
11:43you take anything away from this video,
11:45let it be this. Your best era isn't
11:47something that you wait for. It's
11:49something that you create. So, lock in.
11:51Get clear about the woman that you're
11:52becoming and start making your life
11:54match her. The way that you look, the
11:55way that you think, how you handle your
11:57money, your career, and [music] your
11:58lifestyle. And if you need to go goals
12:01for a season to focus on yourself, do
12:03[music] that. But use this season of
12:04locking in to document the
12:06transformation because what you learn
12:08while you're becoming better can
12:09definitely be used to help the next
12:11woman do the same. I trust that you're
12:12ready to start your own rebrand. Make
12:14sure that you grab a copy of my ebook,
12:16Become the Brand. It will be linked down
12:18below in the description box. It's going
12:19to help you map out who you're becoming,
12:21your goals, and how you can turn this
12:23season of personal growth into a
12:24personal brand. So, thank you so much
