10-Step Spiritual Glow-Up Checklist: Manifest More Magic in Your Life

Have you ever looked at someone and thought, Wow, they just radiate good energy? That effortless glow, the kind that seems to just come naturally from within, this isn’t just about skincare or confidence—it’s spiritual. A true spiritual glow-up isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about unveiling your most radiant, aligned, and magical self.

On this earth, we are surrounded by energy and as humans we can often feel the energy, or aura, that surrounds other people. Sometimes this energy is simply beautiful and magnetic effortlessly, and sometimes not so much lol. So how do we tap into this magical glow that some people emulate? Well, stick around because we are going to talk about just that.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or just a little less vibrant than usual, don’t worry—your spiritual glow-up era is here! ✨ Whether you’re looking to raise your vibration, deepen your spiritual practice, or simply feel more in tune with your highest self, these 10 transformational steps will guide you toward a life that feels more magical, abundant, and authentically you.

So grab your favourite beverage, get comfy, and let’s get into the 10 steps for a true spiritual glow-up 💫

10 Step Checklist to a Spiritual Glow-Up

This step is so important and I think not really talked about enough. Just like we cleanse our physical bodies, we need to detox our energy. Negative energy builds up from stress, toxic environments, toxins we take into our body, people we are surrounded by, and even our own low vibe thoughts that we are all susceptible to. I actually did a full video on energetic cleansing for spring that you can watch HERE afterwards if you’d like. Consider these ideas for a nice little reset:

  • Smoke cleanse with herb bundles or incense
  • Diffuse essential oils for cleansing such as lemon, eucalyptus, or cedar
  • Take a cleansing salt bath
  • Visualize white light washing over you and clearing out stagnant energies up into the aether
  • Meditate with cleansing crystals such as clear quartz, selenite, or amethyst
  • Brew a simmer pot for cleansing
  • Drink cleansing teas such as peppermint, ginger, or lemon balm

When you clear out old, heavy energy, you make space for fresh, high-vibrational energy, inspiration, and creativity to flow into your life. Our energy is such a precious resource that is responsible for how we show up in life, the experiences we attract, and the impression we leave on others. Keeping it elevated and flowing freely is of the utmost importance. And remember to check out that video for more ideas.

Speaking of high vibes. Everything vibrates at a frequency and the frequency at which you vibrate attracts your reality. To glow up spiritually and attract more positive things and experiences into your life, you need to operate at a higher frequency. Most of us are operating at a much lower frequency than our potential and where we could be sitting, which is way up at the top with emotions like love, joy, and enlightenment.

Try some of these practical things to raise your vibration:

  • Feed your body fresh whole foods
  • Get in daily movement
  • Spend time out in nature
  • Live each day mindfully and with gratitude
  • Engage in activities that bring you joy
  • Clear away limiting beliefs
  • Show up daily as the version of you that you most want to be
  • And incorporate some of these 10 steps into your routines!

When your vibration is high, you naturally attract more positive experiences, people, and opportunities into your life. And who doesn’t want that?

Meditation is essential for a spiritual glow-up. Even just five minutes a day of deep breathing and stillness can make a world of difference and if you are just starting a meditation journey then 5 – 10 minutes a day is a great place to start. It can be difficult to cultivate a regular meditation practice so consider the following:

  • how much time in the day you will spend on your meditation practice
  • what time of day will work best for your schedule
  • what type of meditation you will do; guided, visualization, walking, etc. If you are just starting out guided meditations and walking meditations are so great
  • consider reading up n meditation practices or consuming relevant content that can help you on you meditation journey

Meditation can be hard for many people so have patience with yourself and keep at it. Meditation is like a direct line to inner peace and spiritual awakening. It’s an invaluable way to release stress, calm your mind, deepen your connection to your inner self, strengthen your intuition, and become closer to your best self. I also happened to do a full video on starting a meditation practice that you can watch HERE.

Your higher self is the most authentic, wise, and loving version of you. The you that you likely want to show up as every single day and you envision being. To align with this energy, ask yourself:

  • What would my highest self do in this situation? How would they react?
  • How can I make choices that honour my soul?
  • What habits, thoughts, and beliefs no longer serve me?
  • What are some daily habits I can cultivate to move me closer to my highest self?
  • How would the best version of me show up in life every each day?

Use scripting to write out a day spent as your highest self as if it already happened so that you have a very clear and detailed vision of the person you wish to be. And then take action steps to become that person. Again, utilizing some of the steps in this post can help you here.

Acting in alignment with your higher self leads to confidence, clarity, your life’s purpose, and undeniable spiritual glow-up energy.

A true glow-up isn’t just about looking forward—it’s about healing the past because if you are being held back my past trauma and situations you will be unable to truly move forward and evolve into the best version of you. The you that you really deserve to be. Your inner child is the part of you that holds old wounds, fears, and patterns from your past.

Consider some of these for helping you heal:

  • Write a letter to your younger self
  • Connect with things and activities that made you happy as a child
  • Offer yourself the love and reassurance you once needed
  • Do shadow work to confront and deal with emotional blocks and past traumas
  • When you speak to yourself in a negative way think of your younger self. Would you really want them to be treated in that manner? Probably not.
  • Make a list of your limiting beliefs, then beside each one turn that belief around into something positive. Example – limiting belief ‘making money is hard for me.’ turns into ‘money flows to me freely and easily.’

Nothing changes if nothing changes and truly nothing can change if you stay the same person. Healing your inner child allows you to step into your power, remove limiting beliefs, and leave behind old emotions that are holding you back from reaching your greatest potential. 

Nothing dims your glow like self-doubt, negative self-talk, and not showing yourself love on a daily basis. A big part of radiating high vibrational energy is to love yourself and accept yourself fully and without judgement.

Some ways to deepen your self-love:

  • Utilize positive affirmations such as “I am worthy. I am enough. I am divine.”
  • Let go of comparison to others and embrace your own personal journey
  • Take care of your body, mind, and soul with regular self care and self love practices
  • Set boundaries and protect your energy, remember it’s a precious resource

When you start to speak to yourself in a negative way (because it’s nearly impossible to stop doing this entirely), stop yourself and immediately turn those thoughts around into something positive. The more you do this the easier it will become.

The more you love yourself, the more magnetic your energy becomes, and the more you start attracting everything you desire easily. Things and people that align with that new energy will naturally be drawn to you.

A key part of any spiritual glow-up is letting go of control and trusting that everything is unfolding as it should. This can be incredibly difficult but keep the faith and just know that everything is aligning in your favour and that everything is happening for your highest good even if you can’t see it right now. Consider:

  • Releasing the need to force outcomes
  • Let go of timings and when you think things should be happening
  • Believe that everything happens for you, not to you
  • Try to see the positive in a not so positive situation or try to see the lesson (this might not happen right away and that’s okay)
  • Use affirmations such as “I trust in the universe and the divine timing of my life.”

When you let go and trust, life flows so much more effortlessly. When we live in trust, we are not creating that friction that comes with trying to force things or suffering from a scarcity mindset, or focusing on the things that are in your life that are maybe not ideal. Relax, breathe and know that the universe has your back. The higher you raise your own energies, the easier this will become.

Your spiritual glow-up should be deeply personal and unique to you just like your spiritual practice. This is a time to really go in and dedicate time to your spiritual self. Connect with your inner witch in new ways, devote time to your practice, allow your mind to expand, learn and grow. Some ideas:

  • Try doing a daily card pull
  • Read spiritual books or watch Youtube videos from your favourite witchy creators. Here is a link to my channel if you haven’t seen it yet (shameless plug lol) – The Wholesome Witch
  • Learn more about your personal astrology and birth chart
  • Start working with the moon phases
  • Try intuitive journalling or start a grimoire
  • Learn more about herbs and working with them
  • Dive into a divination practice
  • Try including bits of magic into your daily routines

Your practice can be weaved throughout your day in so many wonderful and magical ways that most people just don’t take advantage of or simply aren’t aware of. And There’s no “one right way” to be spiritual or a witch—choose what feels aligned with you in this moment. Our practice is always growing and evolving just like we are as people. Appreciate and enjoy the journey!

Be mindful who you spend your time around. Not everyone deserves access to your energy! Even if they are people who have been in our lives a long time. If you’re glowing up, you need to protect your light from negativity and energy vampires. There may even be people in your life that you know are toxic and you may need to distance yourself from them. 

We can energetically protect ourselves which can be incredibly valuable expecially if you are empathic or a sensitive person.

  • We can Set boundaries—say *no* to people and situations that drain you
  • Visualize a protective bubble of white light around you
  • Limit exposure to negative news or social media
  • Limit your time in busy or chaotic places 
  • Charm jewelry for protection
  • Craft protection sachets
  • Anoint your wrists with protective oils such as eucalyptus, patchouli, or sandalwood

Consider the people you spend your time with. Do they align with your own values and goals? Or do they only bring negativity into your life. Are they supportive of you or do they try to drag you down?

Your energy is important—honour and protect it. This is not something to feel guilty about and it is not selfish. You must honour and protect yourself first if you are going to be able to show up as your best self. Remember you being at your best also means you can be at your best for the loved ones in your life that you care about and that do deserve your time, energy, and love.

The ultimate glow-up isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about living mindfully, with intention, and with deep gratitude for all of your blessings.

  • Wake up each day with a grateful heart
  • Give thanks to nature and the universe each morning
  • Write down three things each day that bring you gratitude or brought your joy
  • Be a source of kindness and positivity in the world
  • Treat others and our dear earth with love and compassion
  • Live sustainably and mindfully
  • Perform random acts of kindness to others

True spiritual beauty radiates from within. When you live with purpose and in gratitude, you don’t just glow—you illuminate everything and everyone around you. You will naturally uplift others, attract beautiful like minded individuals and feel a sense of internal light and joy that is unmatched.

And there you have it—10 steps to achieve your spiritual glow-up!  Your spiritual glow-up isn’t about perfection—it’s about alignment, growth, and embracing your inner magic. By taking these steps, you’re not just raising your energy—you’re connecting with your inner magic, deepening your self-love, and creating a life that feels deeply aligned with your most authentic self. ✨

Remember, transformation isn’t a one-time thing; it’s a journey. Some days, you’ll feel like a glowing celestial goddess, and other days… well, you might just need an extra cup of tea or coffee and some quiet time with a good book. Both are valid, and both are part of the process. Don’t feel like you have to wake up tomorrow and implement all of these things all at once either, that is not necessary or sustainable. Take your time, walk your path, and include things gradually and organically. One step will lead to another and then another.

So trust in yourself, trust in the universe, and keep shining your light. The universe is always working in your favour, and this glow-up can be just the beginning of you emerging as your highest self and living your most magical and purposeful life. You’ve got this.
