Pick a vibe and

feel amazing all
year. Here’s how…

new school year holds so
much promise, so much
potential, so much new.
A Which is why *now* is
the perfect time to start thinking
about how you approach the next
nine months. The secret to a seri-
ously stellar year? Tapping into the
exact vibe you want to embody,
then channeling it every day.
Why choose a vibe? Turns out,
it’s way easier to stick with an
overarching concept or feeling
than to set a specific school-year
choose resolution or goal. Singling out
*your* personal vibe can help you
master the mindset you’re after:
Consider it a blueprint on how to
live, rather than a rule to live by.
Before you get bogged down
your own by essays and problem sets, take
a few moments to ruminate on
exactly how you want to feel
this year. The beauty of choosing
#goodvibesonly is that ultimately,
you get to decide how far and
how broad you want to take your
concept. Our recommendation?
Identify the feeling you’re after,
then start small with mini goals
before working your way up to
bigger, sweeping shifts.
Read on for six of our fave
themed thought-starters, then
make them your own. Note
that you don’t have to reinvent
yourself...but jumping into a fresh
role (like trying out for goalie)
will help you see yourself in a new
way. And, it’ll get others to take
notice, too. Who is that incredibly
interesting girl rocking that killer
presentation? Oh, yeah, it’s you!
