Becoming Your Highest Self: 3 Steps to Align With the Version of You That Already Exists

Let’s be honest - “becoming your highest self” gets thrown around so much it almost loses meaning. It’s easy to imagine that version of you who has it all figured out — calm, confident, aligned, probably sipping matcha in a sunlit kitchen somewhere.

But that version of you? She’s not living in some faraway future. She already exists inside you — under the layers of fear, self-doubt, and the stories you keep repeating to yourself.

Becoming your highest self isn’t about chasing something outside of you. It’s about remembering who you are and making choices that line up with that energy.

And yeah… sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But that’s part of it.

Step 1: Awareness — Meet the Version of You That Already Exists

You can’t embody what you’re not aware of. So before you try to “be your best self,” you’ve got to slow down and actually see yourself as you are now and see yourself as who you want to be.

Ask yourself:

• When do I feel most me?

• What moments make me feel grounded, peaceful, or powerful?

• Who am I when I’m not trying to prove or please?

  
  

That’s your highest self showing through. It’s not about perfection — it’s about presence.

When you can witness your patterns without judgment and recognize what feels aligned (and what doesn’t), you stop living on autopilot. You start responding instead of reacting.

That’s where everything shifts.

Step 2: Action — Anchor It Into Your Life

Awareness means nothing if you don’t do anything with it. You can journal all day, but if your actions don’t change, nothing changes.

The version of you that feels grounded and aligned? She probably has habits and rituals that support her energy — not drain it.

That might look like:

• Keeping the promises you make to yourself.

• Setting boundaries (and not apologizing for them).

• Starting your day with intention instead of chaos.

• Making time for stillness, even if it’s just 5 minutes.

You don’t have to burn your life down to start fresh. You just need to start showing up like the person you’re becoming. Make is habitual because what you do frequently becomes your frequency.

Because every time you choose differently — every time you choose alignment over avoidance — you’re literally reprogramming your reality.

Snake slithering through the sand shinning and shimmering. "whatever you are not changing, you are choosing."

Step 3: Mindset — Shift From Manifestation to Embodiment

Let's be honest — manifestation culture can create unrealistic expectations. You visualize, script, repeat affirmations… and when the dream life doesn’t appear, you wonder what you did wrong.

But your highest self isn’t about wishful thinking — it’s about embodied becoming.

Manifestation without embodiment is just fantasy. You can’t attract what you’re not aligned with.

When you shift your mindset from “trying to make things happen” to becoming someone who naturally attracts what they desire, everything changes.

And here’s the key: Your ideal self isn’t defined by luck, money, or miracles. They’re defined by habits, routines, and mindsets — because those are the things you can actually control.

When you commit to showing up for yourself every day — even imperfectly — you’re already living as your highest self.

Integration — Embodying Your Highest Self Every Day

This is where a lot of people get stuck. They want to “manifest” their dream life — more money, better relationships, peace, whatever — but they skip the embodiment part.

Manifestation isn’t about saying affirmations and hoping for a miracle. It’s about becoming the version of you who already lives that reality.

Your mindset creates your movement. When you stop chasing outcomes and start embodying the energy behind them, things start aligning naturally.

The truth is, your highest self probably isn’t obsessed with the “how.” She’s focused on who she’s being every day.

And here’s the real caveat: your “ideal” self doesn’t come from luck or some cosmic lottery ticket. It comes from your habits, routines, and mindset — because that’s what you can actually control.

Becoming your highest self isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a daily choice. A commitment to awareness, alignment, and action — even when it’s uncomfortable.

So instead of asking, “How do I become my highest self?” Ask: “How can I show up today as the version of me who already exists?”

You already know her. You’ve met her in the moments you felt peace. In the times you trusted yourself. In the days you let go of what wasn’t meant for you.

She’s not out there waiting for you — she’s been here the whole time, waiting for you to remember.
