How To Transform Yourself Into ‘That Girl’: Healthy Habits To Follow Everyday

Key points:

  • In recent months, the ‘that girl’ trend has gained considerable traction on social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram. Being ‘that girl’ involves the pursuit of self-improvement, self-care, and, ultimately, becoming the best version of yourself.
  • Girls who want to embody ‘that girl’ energy can start by adopting healthy daily habits to help them become the best version of themselves.
  • Waking up early to seize the day is the first and most crucial habit to living the ‘that girl’ lifestyle. 
  • If you’re a night owl and finding the transition to becoming an early bird difficult, you may consider taking B・SYNC ON supplements. Each capsule contains clinically-tested, all-natural ingredients designed to elevate your mood in the mornings, helping you wake up with ease and energy.

If you’re an avid frequenter of social media (who isn’t nowadays?), you’ve likely come across the term ‘that girl’. It’s honestly hard to escape in the virtual world. You only need to have a quick scroll through Instagram or TikTok to see every other girl (and her mother) posting videos of their quest to become ‘that girl’. 

But exactly who is ‘that girl’? The term probably conjures a Regina George-type image in your mind. You know, the pretty, popular girl with perfect skin and an even more perfect life whose presence is instantly palpable in a room full of people. The type of girl to have songs written about her.

Let’s face it; we’ve all aspired to be that girl at some point in our lives. But what if we told you the enigmatic ‘that girl’ aesthetic isn’t as picture-perfect and elusive as the one we’ve become so conditioned to seeing on our social feeds? 

On the contrary, there’s a certain aura to being ‘that girl’, one that cannot simply be captured in an Instagram post or TikTok reel. It’s based on the pursuit of self-improvement, self-care, and, ultimately, the best version of yourself. It’s something that can be attained by each of us if we’re willing to put in the work.

Of course, being your best self is a concept interpreted differently by each girl based on her distinct journey in life. While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, we’ve compiled a list of the fundamentals of how to transform yourself into ‘that girl’. 

So, for now, put away the yoga pants (and the snaps of you clutching a matcha green tea while you’re at it), and keep reading for a rundown of good daily habits that take the mystery out of embodying ‘that girl’ energy.

 

Wake Up Earlier

Waking up early and setting your intention for the day is one of the ultimate hacks for girls who want to have their life together (and not just fake it to their followers). It gives you priceless time to do things you wouldn’t otherwise have time for, and you’ll be surprised how good you feel at the end of a productive day. 

But if you’re naturally inclined to being a night owl, becoming an early bird isn’t something that can be achieved overnight. Here are some useful tips to help your transition:

Go to sleep early

Girl, sleep debt is real, and it ain’t pretty. Depending on your individual body clock, healthy adults need anywhere between 6 and 11 hours of sleep each night [1]. If you want to wake up earlier, then it goes without saying you need to go to bed earlier than you usually would to ensure you’re getting enough shut-eye to maintain optimal health and cognitive function. 

Try B・SYNC ON

Let’s face it, everyone wants to be ‘that girl’, but not everyone has the time, energy or discipline to do it. That’s why we love a good shortcut! And there’s a terrific shortcut that will help you wake up easier. B・SYNC ON is the first and only clinically-tested supplement formulated to support and improve the wake-up process, making that all-too-familiar feeling of unsteadiness, befuddlement, and heavy-headedness in the morning a thing of the past. 

With all-natural active ingredients, including vitamins B5 and B12, zinc, and caffeine, B・SYNC ON is designed to be taken before you head to bed. The clever delayed-release capsule won’t release the ingredients until after you’ve enjoyed a full night’s rest, helping you wake up bright-eyed and set to seize the day. So carpe diem and order your capsules online today

Don’t hit the snooze button

As tempting as it may be to stay snug in your bed, try and get up as soon as your alarm goes off. You could even strategically place your alarm on the other side of the room so you have no choice but to get up once it sounds. 

Take it slowly

Say you’ve set a goal to wake up at 6 am, but you usually wake up around 8 am. The key is to slowly work towards your goal by progressively waking up 15-30 minutes earlier each day until you can wake up at your desired time without that horrid grogginess. Us girls are creatures of habit, after all, and making such a drastic change to your sleep routine will only leave you feeling worse for wear, and that’s certainly not what we’re trying to achieve here.

 

Drink Plenty Of Water

If you’re after enviable skin that glows from within (#nofilter), then there’s nothing better than starting your morning with a glass of water. Moreover, considering our bodies are around 75 per cent water, you ought to make a bottle of h2o the bestie that sticks with you as you go about your day. 

From promoting cardiovascular health and increasing energy to enhancing brain function and cleansing your body of nasty toxins, there are many reasons why keeping well hydrated should be a staple in your healthy life routine [2].

The amount of water you need varies from person to person and depends on how active you are throughout the day, but as a rule of thumb, aim to drink around 2 litres per day. If you’re struggling to hit your water intake goal, do what you can to make it easier. Invest in a cute bottle that’ll fit perfectly into your Instagram feed, or you could always infuse your water with lemon, cucumber, strawberries or whatever else to really shake things up.

 

Check In With Yourself (Before You Wreck Yourself)

Journalling, meditating, and practising gratitude may all seem like showy and pretentious ‘that girl’ habits, but you’ll be surprised how much of a positive impact they can have on your life. Honestly, don’t knock them till you’ve tried them. 

If you’re starting to get up early in your quest to become ‘that girl’, then these habits can fit nicely into your extra morning time and are the perfect way to kick-start your day. 

Life is hard, and it only gets harder the older we get. Journaling is great for writing down any anxious thoughts to help you process and release them, come up with solutions to problems you’re facing in life, or even reflect on everything you’re grateful for amidst all the chaos. 

Setting aside as little as five minutes to be still and at one with yourself is super effective in alleviating unpleasant thoughts and emotions. Whether it’s positive affirmations, visualisations, or just time to quieten all the noise in your mind, meditation can give you the positive mind frame and boost in confidence you need to become ‘that girl’.

 

Keep On Moving

Any girl who is ‘that girl’ will tell you the importance of prioritising your health and fitness. Said girl can be seen in a TikTok video donning her Lululemon leggings whilst assuming various yoga poses or sharing a sweaty mirror selfie after lifting weights at her local gym.

The CDC recommends at least 150 minutes of moderately vigorous activity per week, which works out to around 30 minutes a day, five days per week [3]. But keeping fit doesn’t necessarily require pumping iron or doing downward dog poses. Do whatever feels good for you, whether it’s going for a walk or jogging around your local park, doing HIIT workouts, or joining a dance class. 

Not only will regular exercise keep you in top physical form, but it will also improve your mood, boost energy, and help you sleep better at night - elements that are all crucial to maintaining a ‘that girl’ lifestyle. Trust us; you’ll reap the benefits long after the ‘that girl’ trend has faded to black. 

 

Eat Good

Being ‘hangry’ is no joke. If you’ve ever had to apologise for your bad temper and irritability as a result of hunger, then you know exactly what we’re talking about here. As tempting and easy as it is to order a pizza in such moments, fueling your mind and body with nourishing whole foods is the key to satisfying your hunger in a healthy way (and, more importantly, keeping those dreaded hanger episodes at bay). 

That means incorporating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins and healthy fats into your diet. But who said eating healthy has to be boring? Get creative with online recipes that will not only nourish your body but also satiate your tastebuds. 

And before you bid farewell to takeaways forever, remember ‘that girl’ life is all about maintaining balance, so there’s no need to feel guilty for the occasional fast food craving. After all, a cheeky Saturday night Chinese never hurt nobody.

 

Never Stop Learning

In the same way the body needs food, the mind also requires knowledge to nourish it. ‘That girl’ knows that she’s never too old or too educated to stop learning; she considers it a lifelong pursuit and the key to growth. 

In the technological world in which we live, knowledge has never been so accessible; it’s quite literally in the palm of your hand. So why not swap your Spotify playlist for a podcast that teaches you the secrets to running a successful business? Or how about you give yourself a break from watching Friends re-runs for the umpteenth time and instead watch a Ted Talk on YouTube? You could even read a self-improvement book on hacking your way to building better habits. The options are endless, and who knows, you may just stumble across a gem that could, quite possibly, change your life. 

 

Plan Ahead

You’ve probably heard the saying, ‘if you fail to prepare, you must prepare to fail’. It’s true. Nothing in life worth accomplishing can be done without preparation, and a girl with a plan is unstoppable.  

Gone are the days you coast through life with no real direction or meaning. Organise your life with a planner where you can write your daily to-do list and long-term goals, and navigate your days with intention. Whether it’s a productivity app for your smartphone or you prefer a good old-fashioned hardback, a planner will increase your productivity and empower you to run your life the way you want to. 

 

Pamper Yourself

Self-care is the cornerstone of a ‘that girl’ routine. How else do you expect to be your best self as life continues to throw curveballs your way? Spending your Sunday evening indulging in a well-deserved pamper session is an excellent way to recharge you for the week ahead and prevent that dreaded burnout. 

So feel no guilt when laying on that face mask, giving yourself a gua sha facial, running a relaxing bubble bath, or treating yourself to an at-home pedicure. You deserve it. 

Other than the immediate relaxing sensation, the more subtle side-effects of regular self-care sessions include improved body image, more confidence, a strengthened response to stress, and generally a more positive outlook on life. It’s a win-win.

 

FAQ

Is being ‘that girl’ toxic?

As well-intentioned as the ‘that girl’ trend may be, it can easily become toxic by setting an unrealistic standard of how you ought to be living your life. It’s important to remember that such a romanticised idea of girls needing to have their lives together all the time is impossible, unhealthy, and far from reality. The key is to focus on slowly building healthy habits that help you become a better version of yourself without comparing yourself to others.
