We all know that one girl who seems to have *everything* going for her: great grades, a top spot on the team, a bevy of besties singing her praises, a calendar packed with fun plans and, to top it off, she’s a genuinely nice and positive person who somehow makes it all look easy.
Haven’t we all wished we could be so charmed? Well, uncross your fingers, stop searching for shooting stars—and start taking notes. Follow our ultimate lucky girl guide to creating the kind of good energy that racks up amazing accomplishments in no time (no four-leaf clover needed).
RESET YOUR MINDSET
You could totally volunteer at that kids tutoring program after school…if only you had more time. And you could *def* enter that art show…if only you were more naturally talented at drawing. Right?
But those “ifs” are excuses—and they’re holding you back. Instead of dreaming about what you would do with a magical amount of time or talent, create an actionable goal (volunteer three times this spring; enter one piece in the art show) and stick to it no matter what. Struggling with self-esteem? “I will” and “I am” affirmations like “I will help my community even when I’m busy” or “I am a creative person” can help see you through tough spots.
GET ON THE GRIND
We get it, you love your lucky socks—but they’re not going to win your lacrosse games for you. Without months of practice, there’s no championship.
