It’s easy to catch yourself sitting on the sidelines of your own life. It’s living watching others do everything you would love to do. You watch others travel, fall in love, glow up, etc. It’s easy to feel stuck or wonder when your glow-up will happen. This is so understood! The truth is you were never meant to be a side character. We can change that! Here is the no fluff to stop fading into the background of your life. It is time to star in the story that matters which is your life.

One- Stop waiting for permission!! Side characters tend to wait for someone to come save them or validate their worth. It’s like waiting to be picked, discovered, or told “ You are enough.” You don’t need anyone outside of yourself to tell you that you’re the star. You’re everything rolled into one. You are the producer, lead role, screenwriter, and main character period. The truth is if you outsource your power you will continue to live a life that reels secondhand. Main characters decide, declare and simply show up.

Something for you to try today: Make a tiny decision without asking for someone else's opinion. Post the selfie you question, say no to an unwanted obligation, and wear that outfit. Doing this simple step helps rewire your self-perception.

Two- Your self-concept needs rewriting. Side characters tend to be the people pleasers, shy ones, the one that lacks character compared to the Main character. The main characters are very complex because they evolve. Whenever your self-concept feels stuck in old labels, it is time to rewrite it. You can ask yourself:

• What story am I telling about who I am?

• Who told me I had to be this way?

• Who do I actually want to be?

Example - The side character script: I’m too quiet to stand out, I’m always overlooked.

Main character script: My presence is powerful and my confidence draws people in.

Three- Romanticize the mundane. The main character's energy isn’t fireworks 24/7. It’s about turning your day-to-day tasks into cinematic energy.

How to romanticize your life:

• Make playlists that feel like movie soundtracks.

• Light candles for no reason.

• Narrate your life in your head like a documentary

• Celebrate small wins as much as you would a big win.

It’s okay if you feel silly doing this, eventually it will feel natural.

Four- Protect your energy. Move as if your energy is sacred because it is! Side characters tend to bend over backward for others just to keep others comfortable. They tend to say yes when they want to say no. They usually lower their standards so they don’t come off as “ difficult.” You can’t have main character energy if you lack boundaries. You can start by practicing :

• Say no without overexplaining.

• Walk away from conversations that drain you.

• Surround yourself with people who treat you like you matter (because you do).

The main character will never apologize for having standards and boundaries. The main characters inspire others to raise their standards.

Five- Act as if! You become the main character when you act like a main character first. You can’t wait to feel ready or wait to feel worthy. You can stay stuck in this energy. Acting as the main character doesn’t mean you are faking who you are. This is practicing to be the version of you you’re becoming. You have to walk into rooms like you belong there. You speak as if your opinion matters because it does.

Six - Embrace the Imperfect. Main characters aren’t perfect nor do they try to be! There will be days when they stumble, make silly choices, cry, and get right back up. This is what makes them compelling! They get back up no matter what. Stop trying to figure it out and just :

• Launch the project.

• Book the solo trip.

• Say the thing you’ve been holding back.

The main characters move with action while the side characters wait for certainty.

Seven. Reinvent yourself. Embodying the main character's energy isn’t a switch you flip, it is a practice. This is a commitment to keep evolving even when it feels uncomfortable. Allow yourself to grow, change, and outshine the version of you that played small.
