Most people wait for the “perfect moment” – the new job, the right relationship, or more money – before they allow themselves to feel happy and fulfilled. But the truth is: your dream life doesn’t start in the future, it starts now. Life is not happening to you - you are creating it, either consciously or unconsciously. The quality of your life is shaped by the habits and principles you practice daily. If you want to live as your highest self, it’s not about waiting – it’s about choosing who you are today, and not just dreaming about who would you love to become at some point in time.

Neuroscience shows that our brains are wired by repetition. Every time you repeat a thought or action, you strengthen the neural pathways that support it. This is how habits become automatic and shape your identity. Psychologists call this behavioral priming: the more consistently you act as your “highest self,” the more natural it becomes, until it feels like who you are rather than something you “try to do.” Studies also link daily practices like gratitude, meditation, and exercise to increased serotonin and dopamine – the brain chemicals that regulate happiness, motivation, and resilience. In short: science confirms that the small choices you make daily literally rewire your brain and create your reality.
If you want to know how to live your dream life now, here are 10 practical habits and principles you can start practicing today:
Challenges aren’t failures; they’re signs pointing you toward something better. Instead of wasting your energy on thinking about the problem that has occurred – while you cannot change the fact that it already occurred, 1.) focus on seeing it as it happened to protect you / redirect you and 2.) focus on searching for solution.
Don’t waste energy worrying about what might happen tomorrow. Many fears never come true. So why would you stress about something in advance that may not even happen? Handle things only when they actually arrive, if they arrive.
Don’t wait for circumstances to change and for life to be easier before you act. When you move first, the world shifts to match your energy and the circumstances change because you changed first.
Say “no” to others when you don’t feel at peace while doing it. Saying “yes” when something doesn’t feel right is radiating fake energy and this benefits no one – real alignment does.
Meditation anchors you in the present, while visualization puts you in alignment with the future you’re creating. Both will additionally serve as a reminder of who you actually are and what you authentically want from life. These tools will help you to understand what are your goals when you don’t compare yourself, your success or your happiness with others.
Happiness isn’t a reward waiting in the future. It’s available in the small choices you make today. When you feel joy now – you radiate the energy of abundance, and abundance manifests more reasons to feel abundant for.
Remind yourself: this is the life I once prayed for. Gratitude turns ordinary days into miracles. Progress without gratitude feels like failure. If you only look for new milestones, accomplishments, goals, while ignoring everything you have manifested already – you will keep the feeling of “never enough” and this is formula for unhappiness.
Make your daily rituals special. Morning routine, coffee, music in your apartment, journaling, meditation, or a mindful walk can become moments of magical joy if you decide to see it that way.
When workout is part of who you are, it’s no longer a stressful “I have to work out” – it becomes a natural expression of your identity. Training gives you more than physical results: it sharpens your mind, builds clarity, fuels motivation, and creates resilience. It strengthens your confidence and health while giving you the discipline to handle every other area of life with more ease. And for women, staying active even during pregnancy has a profound impact – not only supporting your well-being, but also contributing to the healthy development of your baby. Movement is not just exercise – it’s your lifestyle, your strength, your foundation.
Life doesn’t give you what you wish for, but what you embody. Positivity attracts positivity. Negativity attracts more of the same. You manifest all the time more of who you already are, not more of what you would like to have. Through these daily habits you have the ability to consciously choose to feel as your highest self in this moment, not in future “when you see it”. First you have to feel it, and then you will see it – this is the ultimate rule of the universe.
Reading about daily habits for success is not enough. Trying them for two weeks is not enough. Consistency is the non-negotiable key.
Habits compound over time. Meditation practiced once makes you calm for a moment. Meditation practiced daily makes you unshakable. Gratitude felt once warms your heart. Gratitude practiced every day changes your entire perspective on life.
Consistency is the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. Without it, you’re just visiting your highest self. With it, you become your highest self.
Your highest self isn’t waiting in five years. It’s waiting for you in this moment. Every decision you make today is either aligned with your dream life or pulling you further from it.
So take action now. Choose gratitude. Choose joy. Choose discipline. Choose authenticity.
Don’t let life just happen to you. Create it – with the daily habits that align with your highest self.
Keep rising, beautiful soul
