How to uplevel your life
You might have heard the word uplevel floating around on the internet, and I think it’s a good way to describe moving up to a higher place from where you once were (maybe it’s supposed to be level up, but I’m sticking with the term uplevel).
I want to be more in tune with myself, be more efficient, and be less concerned with what people think of me.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or like you’re not where you want to be in life, maybe it’s time for certain behaviors, habits, or mindsets to shift. In this post, I’m sharing 7 ways you can be more intentional this year to uplevel your lifestyle.
What Does Uplevel Your Life Mean?
To uplevel your life means:
- Being better than you were in the past
- Letting go of the things that tend to hold you back
- Letting go of self-sabotaging behavior
- Not living on autopilot
- Making choices and decisions that align with the bigger vision you have for your life.
I’m sure you have that voice in your head that tells you that you could be doing something more or something greater with your life.
In a way, upleveling or *leveling up* is similar to playing a video game. You improve your skills with each level you play, and you move up to the next level once you’ve conquered a certain stage.
“You only have control over three things in your life – the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.”
― Jack Canfield, The Success Principles
Why Uplevel Your Life?
I’m sure you’ve said to yourself on occasion (or maybe all the time) that you need to make changes in your life. Maybe you see other people living a certain lifestyle and wish you could have the same thing. You might feel stuck where you are with no sense of fulfillment in your life.
When it comes down to it, we all want to feel fulfilled in our work, our personal lives, and our relationships. If we start to act with more intention, we create the foundation needed to make changes in our lives instead of just wishing for them.
You can design your life in any way that you want to. You just have to be clear and committed to your idea. There’s no point in making a plan you’re not going to stick to.

There are countless ways you can be more intentional and change your life in a positive way. Here are some of the things to consider focusing on:
1. Mindset
