STARTING NOW..... REBRANDING THE BLOG - CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS


Here's the plan: today's curated feed - updating roster weekly (your girly collection & reference)

Welcome to our 30's: a community club

I write about real-life lessons, late bloomers living, career pivots, growing older with intention, soft life living, self-care, main character living and all the wonderful things that make our 30s feel like coming home to ourselves.

YOUR TWENTIES ARE OFFICAL OVER....

My voice will no longer represent the twentysomething generation, and it's the end of an era. I will no longer be a part of the 20's club. This is the biggest chapter that I had ever had to close in my life. My life is changing now because twenty something playbook doesn't cut it anymore. It's time to move on and level up into my thirties with a blog. There's a fresh start calling me now and I'm ready for it. It's so scary because my life is uncertain.

Starting Miss Well Energetic has changed my life. It has changed how I see myself and what I want to do long-term. After leaving college my life turned upside down and never bounced back. Those things never happened to me. The big girl job, the relationship, I have the ability to thrive regardless of my circumstances. My life has taken on a whole new meaning for me now that I am living it to the fullest. The world is on fire and Canada is not what it used to be. I have developed my voice, a sense of who I am, letting go of my old self and updating my dreams. I have a successful twenties in my eyes: college life, getting experience, being stuck, working on myself, living intentionally, mourning, finding my voice, setbacks, investing in my home life, barely working a job, rejection, redirection and making things happen in the real world. I have created my longest and every project and I know myself as who I am at the end of my twenties.

My voice as a twenty-something year-old blogger is officially over. I was successful in finishing my twenties. I will never have it all together in this world. I'm so happy for myself and the work I have done. As a close of this chapter, I'm becoming an in her early thirties blog writer.

MY FINAL ENTRY: BREE-ANN GITTENS

Sadly, my twenties are coming to a close. It’s been a roller coaster ride and a nightmare. A journey full of promises, reality checks, mental breakdowns, ruts, small victories, good times and not archived adulthood. Being a late millennial woman born in 1995, I have Gen Z tendencies because I'm young. The experience of leaving college was a rude awakening and a reminder that you are responsible for your own life and nobody cares about you.


It was a journey to clarity at 29 years old. I found clarity and it took me 9 years to find what I needed. There was no book, manual, advice, tools, or person to help me. It was me showing up, letting go of everything and living my life. I was waiting for my life to start but I had to change. It was important for me to be content with what I had, and to be free from the pressures of adulthood. I live an untraditional lifestyle. I will be writing my own playbook. Living in Canada taught me that you are on your own and it is your responsibility. 

My clarity is working for myself full-time, traveling, funding my lifestyle, long-term singleness and family planning.  


Change is something I embrace more and more as I become older. Change is a tool and direction in your life. Today's climate is constantly changing and adapting to it. It's not easy being an adult when everything is changing around you. A sign of change is that you want more than that when it starts. I see change as something that holds values. I am changing my life because I am working every day. Change is now part of my lifestyle I live my life on my own terms and I need to change constantly and embrace the new change of being in the unknown.


My return to myself had happened at the most unexpected time. It felt like I was back to being me. I could feel it in my body and watch it happen through my eyes. It was like I was coming back to myself. I don't have to impress anybody anymore and I can be my wired self. Life will test you and it will knock you off course. My romantic life cost me who I was. It took me a year and a half to come back to myself. I was letting the situation destroy me. Then I realized I'm an amazing person and I can see that. I know myself and I love myself. Being yourself is everything. I welcome the new me and my new outlook. I felt so much better when my mind, body, and soul were all in harmony again.


PS. I'M A NEW PERSON NOW. 




FINAL NOTES: Saying Goodbye to my twenties

It's time to say goodbye to my twenties and my life is not what I want it to be. I choose myself and I choose to live my life with less money but managed. I falling deeply in love with myself. 

We final got ad sense and wish me luck. Love you all, thank you for the support.

The Great Lock-In -  No Official Rules


Think of it as your “main character boot camp” season — you’re shutting out distractions to level up your mind, body, and lifestyle.


Here’s your structured guide to build it out:


🌙 THE GREAT LOCK-IN: OVERVIEW


Theme: Discipline + Glow-Up + Self-Respect

Duration: 4–8 weeks (or longer if you want to make it your lifestyle)

Purpose: To become your best self quietly — no distractions, no chaos, just self-mastery.


⚖️ GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1. No comparison. You’re in your own lane — eyes on your own paper.

2. Romanticize the discipline. The vibe is cozy grind, not burnout hustle.

3. Minimal input, maximum output. Less scrolling, more doing.

4. Protect your peace like it’s sacred. Energy is currency.

5. Routine = freedom. The more structure, the more control you feel.

6. Silence is strength. You don’t need to announce your growth.

7. One percent better daily. No perfection, just steady progress.


🧘 DAILY HABITS


Aim to keep these as your “non-negotiables.”


MIND

10 min morning journaling (intentions + gratitude)

20 min reading or podcast on self-growth

5–10 min mindfulness or prayer/meditation

Limit screen time (no phone for first/last 30 mins of the day)


BODY

Move your body (30–45 mins daily walk, workout, stretch, or dance)

Eat real meals (no skipping; aim for nourishing, not punishing)

Hydrate (2–3L water)

Sleep 7–8 hours


LIFESTYLE

Tidy your space daily — clean environment, clear mind

Dress for your best energy (even at home)

To-do list with 3 priorities per day (no more)


🗓️ WEEKLY HABITS


These reset and re-align you.


Sunday Reset:

Clean space + do laundry

Grocery + meal prep

Journal reflections (what worked / what didn’t)

Set next week’s focus (1 personal, 1 career, 1 self-care goal)


Midweek Check-In (Wed):

Quick reset: review goals, re-motivate

Reaffirm your “why” — reread your intention


Friday Night Ritual:

Wind down — face mask, candlelight, self-date

Gratitude list for the week

Plan weekend activities that fill your cup (rest + joy)


🎯 GENERAL GOALS


Customize to your personal version of success:

Create daily structure and discipline

Improve mental clarity and energy

Build consistent habits (routine > motivation)

Strengthen confidence through follow-through

Reconnect with femininity and inner peace

Save money and simplify your lifestyle


🔥 KEEPING MOTIVATED

1. Name your era. “The Great Lock-In” is symbolic — write down what it means to you.

2. Visual cues. Vision board, Pinterest mood, or notes on your mirror.

3. Track progress. Use a habit tracker or bullet journal — seeing checkmarks keeps you hooked.

4. Reward consistency. Every week you stay consistent, do a mini treat (new candle, coffee date, cozy night-in).

5. Stay in your cocoon. Remember: this is the quiet season before your next big breakthrough.


The key to having a successful lock-in, you must follow your own rules and here are some ideas.

 “Level-Up Using the Great Lock-In” plan made specifically for modern women who want to get their life together — not just hustle, but glow-up, get disciplined, and feel balanced before 2026.


💫 What This Is Great Lock in of 2025


The Great Lock-In 2025 is your final-quarter transformation arc

a focused 90–120-day period (Sept–Dec) where you get serious, grounded, and elevated in your lifestyle, money, mindset, and habits.


It’s for women who are ready to stop feeling stuck and start feeling in control and soft at the same time — a balanced, self-disciplined femininity.


🎀 GOAL OF THIS PLAN


To help you:

1. Rebuild structure — create daily routines that keep you consistent.

2. Upgrade your habits — body, mindset, money, and lifestyle.

3. End the year as your “it-girl-in-control” version — glowing, focused, and prepared for 2026.


🪞 OVERVIEW


Phase Timeframe Focus

Phase 1: The Prep (Week 1) Reset & set intentions

Phase 2: The Foundation (Weeks 2–4) Routines, habits, and mindset reset

Phase 3: The Lock-In (Weeks 5–10) Deep focus + visible progress

Phase 4: The Glow-Up (Weeks 11–16) Refinement, self-care, confidence, and reflection


🌷 PHASE 1: THE PREP (Week 1)


Goal: Clear your space, set your vision, and prepare your mind.


Step 1: Reset Your Environment

Declutter your bedroom, phone, and social media.

Clean out your closet, bathroom, and digital files.

Create a cozy, feminine, productive space.


Tip: A clean space = a clear mind = better discipline.


Step 2: Journal Your Vision


Ask yourself:

Who do I want to become by Dec 31?

What does “getting my life together” mean for me?

What areas need the most attention (career, body, finances, routines, confidence)?


Step 3: Choose 3 Focus Areas


Pick no more than three life categories to “lock in” on.

Examples:

1. Body: move 3–4× a week, eat better, glow-up routine.

2. Money: budget, save, no-spend challenge, side hustle.

3. Mindset: journaling, therapy, reading, meditation.


💼 PHASE 2: THE FOUNDATION (Weeks 2–4)


Goal: Build simple routines and discipline systems.


Step 4: Build a Daily Routine


Keep it structured yet realistic:


Morning Routine:

Wake up early (same time daily)

Make bed + skincare

Move your body (stretch, walk, or workout)

Journal or read for 10 min

Drink water before coffee


Night Routine:

Shower or skincare ritual

Write tomorrow’s to-do list

Light candles, tea, or reading

Sleep 7–8 hours


Step 5: Set Boundaries


To stay locked in, protect your peace.

Boundaries could be:

No scrolling before 10 AM or after 9 PM

Limit drama, gossip, and energy drainers

Only spend money on essentials + self-care


This is how you preserve your energy for your goals.


Step 6: Financial & Mental Check-In

Create a mini budget (track spending + savings goals).

Journal daily affirmations like:

“I’m becoming a woman who keeps her promises.”

“I’m safe when I’m disciplined.”

Start a 15-min reading habit — something empowering (finance, self-development, femininity).


🩶 PHASE 3: THE LOCK-IN (Weeks 5–10)


Goal: This is the “grind era,” but feminine and strategic. You’re actively doing the work.


Step 7: Commit to Daily Progress


Each day = at least one action per focus area.

Examples:

Fitness: do your workout or walk.

Money: transfer $ to savings.

Mindset: read or journal 10 min.


Track your habits daily — checkmarks build confidence.


Step 8: Focus Rituals


Lock-in mode is about deep focus:

Work in 60–90 min blocks.

Silence your phone or use “Do Not Disturb.”

Reward yourself after completing tasks (tea, skincare, walk).


Discipline feels better than chaos.


Step 9: Weekly Check-Ins


Every Sunday:

Celebrate small wins.

Note what distracted you.

Adjust for next week.


This reflection keeps you consistent and aware.


💅 PHASE 4: THE GLOW-UP (Weeks 11–16)


Goal: Polish, maintain, and elevate your version 2.0.


Step 10: Refine & Romanticize

Refresh your wardrobe or hairstyle.

Redecorate your space for winter (candles, cozy bedding).

Update your digital aesthetic — new lock screen, new vibe.


This visual change reminds you: you’re evolving.


Step 11: Reflect & Rebrand


Ask yourself:

What habits changed my life the most?

What did I learn about myself?

What will I take into 2026?


Write a letter to your “Before Lock-In” self — and thank her for starting.


Step 12: Celebrate Your Progress

Solo date night

Brunch with a friend

Mini self-care splurge (massage, outfit, perfume)


Celebrate that you didn’t just survive — you leveled up.


🌙 YOUR “GET IT TOGETHER” TOOLKIT


Category Tools

Tracking Notion, Google Sheets, or journal

Habit Building Streaks, Habitica, or printable tracker

Mindset Books: Atomic Habits, The Mountain Is You

Aesthetic Focus Pinterest vision board

Financial Budget app (Mint, Notion budget template)


💖 THE MINDSET SHIFT


To truly get your life together, remember:

“Soft life” ≠ lazy. It’s structure with ease.

Rest is part of productivity.

Routine is feminine power — it’s stability.

You don’t have to fix everything. Just start showing up daily.


☕ DAILY AFFIRMATIONS


Say or write these each morning:

“I’m in my becoming era.”

“I’m consistent, calm, and collected.”

“Everything I desire is attracted to my discipline.”

“I’m building my dream life quietly and beautifully.”


✨ END RESULT


By December 31, if you follow this plan:

Your space is peaceful.

Your routines run automatically.

Your money is under control.

Your confidence radiates.

You feel grounded, feminine, and powerful.


You’ll start 2026 not trying to get it together — because you already did.

Silence your phone or use “Do Not Disturb.”

Reward yourself after completing tasks (tea, skincare, walk).


Discipline feels better than chaos.


Step 9: Weekly Check-Ins


Every Sunday:

Celebrate small wins.

Note what distracted you.

Adjust for next week.


This reflection keeps you consistent and aware.


💅 PHASE 4: THE GLOW-UP (Weeks 11–16)


Goal: Polish, maintain, and elevate your version 2.0.


Step 10: Refine & Romanticize

Refresh your wardrobe or hairstyle.

Redecorate your space for winter (candles, cozy bedding).

Update your digital aesthetic — new lock screen, new vibe.


This visual change reminds you: you’re evolving.


Step 11: Reflect & Rebrand


Ask yourself:

What habits changed my life the most?

What did I learn about myself?

What will I take into 2026?


Write a letter to your “Before Lock-In” self — and thank her for starting.


Step 12: Celebrate Your Progress

Solo date night

Brunch with a friend

Mini self-care splurge (massage, outfit, perfume)


Celebrate that you didn’t just survive — you leveled up.

💖 THE MINDSET SHIFT


To truly get your life together, remember:

“Soft life” ≠ lazy. It’s structure with ease.

Rest is part of productivity.

Routine is feminine power — it’s stability.

You don’t have to fix everything. Just start showing up daily.


☕ DAILY AFFIRMATIONS


Say or write these each morning:

“I’m in my becoming era.”

“I’m consistent, calm, and collected.”

“Everything I desire is attracted to my discipline.”

“I’m building my dream life quietly and beautifully.”


✨ END RESULT


By December 31, if you follow this plan:

Your space is peaceful.

Your routines run automatically.

Your money is under control.

Your confidence radiates.

You feel grounded, feminine, and powerful.


You’ll start 2026 not trying to get it together — because you already did.
