The 'It girl mindset' is globally popular amongst teenagers. Originally blowing up on Pinterest, it is now being showcased by women of all age groups on various platforms. While this mindset is said to be helpful to become the best version of ourselves, a lot of people are unaware of what the mindset is about.

No, it's not about waking up at 5 am, going to Pilates, eating clean and green. It's about getting more comfortable in the real you. Being an It Girl isn’t about being her. It’s about being you, but better, smarter, healthier, more confident, and more intentional every day.

Here are a few things you can do to be more you!

1. Own Your Signature Move:

Everybody has a "thing" that people remember: the way you tilt your head, the way you sip your coffee, or the way you flick your eyeliner or hum ever so softly while listening. Cultivate it. Let it be subtle, effortless, and unmistakably you. Your signature move is your personal magnet.

Pick one small gesture, like a smile, posture, or habitual accessory, and make it intentional. It should feel natural, not forced.

2. Moments Over Noise:

Stop over-posting or documenting every little thing. The It Girl doesn't just simply live; she creates moments. The haphazard pile of books you let slide on your nightstand, the way the sun hits your desk at that perfect angle, or the way you twist and spin a piece of hair when deep in thought, these mini-cinematic gestures are your aesthetic.

Start noticing small moments that make you feel alive. Document them subtly or just savour them, your life aesthetic isn’t for everyone, only for you.

3. Intellect As Your Flex:

Charm is not simply visual; it's what you think and what you say and what you're willing to question. Read something odd or audacious, argue about ideas over lunch, or become accomplished at something you would not expect someone to do. It is magnetic to be interesting; it is not magnetic to be predictably perfect.

Dedicate 15 minutes a day to reading or learning something outside your comfort zone. Bring it into conversation naturally.

4. Choose your inspiration:

One thing that is common between almost all the it girls is their usage of Pinterest. Instead of scrolling on Instagram or YouTube, they prioritise Pinterest. Being free from negativity, this app offers various girl-approved methods regarding every single topic, including studying, glow up, etc. Girl math says spending 10 minutes on this app is taking one step towards a better you.

5. The 'Idol' Factor:

There are a lot of it girls you could potentially look up to. The netizens' favourites are Kim Jennie, Jang Won-young, and Song Ji-a. Each of these girls has different things to teach you. Jennie's way of turning herself into a unique brand, Ji-a's self-love and self-prioritising skills, and Won-young's ignorance towards haters and making her own mark are remarkable behaviours.

They have their own set of charms and aura that they deliver. Honestly, there's a lot to take from them, so try adapting things from their mindset that you feel are best suited for you.

Concluding this article, all I have to say is be YOU, do YOU and love YOU. When you are yourself, it comes with the type of confidence that is magnetic. Invest in yourself, and that’ll attract everything you want and wish for.
