Im on my leveling up journey. Im 30 yrs old. I got braces, found a new fitness hobby (rollerblading) , cut off all my hair to start growing from scratch, and I took a course & started a side business as a nail tech. I didnt share what I was doing with anyone until it was done b.c ppls opinions and negative energy can really sway you off your path
All the best hun x
Thank you ☺️
Thanks hun ☺️
congrats!!
I love all of this for you!! & as a soon 27yr old, thank you for your comment! ❤️

@@quishia this is awesome, but watching the video helps her channel, we should all watch the entire video!
@@renatta8902 for sure! But it’s nice to have notes for afterwards to implement it
❤️
@@renatta8902 True, but actually, these things can help gain views as well. :) The ones who don't want to spend the time on it will not stick around either way, and the ones who really want to see it will see it either way. But the people (like me) who are undecided, and maybe pressed for time, love to read a small re-cap. In this case, and in many cases, I choose to watch a video I would not otherwise had watched, because the topics are relevant. :)
Hi sis thanks for sharing awesome tips. I started my path to reinventing myself a year ago, I’m now living healthier, confident, stronger, making 6 figures, having leisure to enjoy family &friends. I feel happier and living my life for myself . This is to encourage someone “you can start anytime to have a reset it’s worth it!I’m striving to continue growing cus it’s a journey 💗
Congratulations Kimaya Thanks for encouraging others with your story, I will love to get tips from you too
Change your mindset, read self-help books, expand knowledge, budget and don't spend on impulse, save, take your finances seriously, eat healthy, exercise your body, meditate; the list goes on...
I hope it is useful to you.
How did you grow to 6 Figure ? I’m honestly trying to work on my personal finance this year.
Congratulations to you kimaya you're doing great!
@@gracedaniels6172 I learnt to be frugal, minimal on spending, saving and paying myself first through Investing, made Plans, growing passive income, Read a lot of books on finance, followed my plan consistently.
Love the small Caribbean mannerisms/phrases that come out every now and then
Right!
Me too
So classy!
LOL me too!!!
Hot gyall ting dat!
This is exactly how I live. One thing that I want to mention is be careful!!! So many people will gravitate towards you knowing you are out of their league. It is the inspiration you give others that make them want to be near. It is also the men that consciously know they cannot afford you or match your level. Do not be a woman who let a man smaller than you mess up all that you created for yourself and all the hard work you’ve put into yourself. I see many women doing this. Make sure you are truly mentally strong, therefore you wouldn’t have any liking to those kind of men!! You got this!!!
Love this ❤️
Definitely needed this at this very moment. Thank you ❤
Watch out for women who say they are for you and be happy when you give them encouragement for their careers but when you achieve your goals they will spread things about you around the work place specifically if they are jealous because men like you. Never tell people your next move. Unless you spent years trusting them
❤❤❤
Very true!
I'm a latina lady living in Europe, even though I'm not a black woman I can relate to in several aspects :) Discovering your channel made also dig more into another black ladies vibing like you and there is something about you girls that makes me feel proud of you as women, like you got me rooting for all of you!
❤️❤️
That's so sweet, muchas gracias
@@selfishgirlsgofirst De nada ☺
Wish so many blessings on you !
Te vez bien.!! ❤️😘
Its definitely a Caribbean specifically Jamaican issue, I grew up thinking everyone was out to get me, I am also very pessimistic and negative and I am definitely trying to change that mindset.
Yup. Jamaican here and I second this. I’ve started to notice that Jamaican culture is really toxic and promotes toxic behavior. I’ve been trying to unlearn a lot of those things but it’s sort of hard when I’m not the most social and the best example I have of a woman is 100% what I’m not trying to be like.
You have never lied! People treat you different based you how you look and take care of yourself.
I'm in the process of revamping myself and you've been a part of that. Most of the things you stated, I've begun to implement in my life and I can feel the difference. ❤
good for you Brielle!
I turned 25 and vowed to “level up”. This video is right on time! I’ve started with my physical appearance. I always try to cut corners to save money but I’m realizing I’m worth the investment!
I really needed this! I’m at a stage where i feel that God is telling me to do better than before. I have already changed but it’s still not over and your video shows so greatly, that changing your mindset will help me to do that better! Bless you sis ❤️
God bless you 👑 Queen!
OMG I am in this space right now. I woke up one day and changed my appearance, started wearing makeup and dressing up even though I work from home. Thank you for sharing these tips. This Level Up is real.
What do you do from home?
@@queenrain9725 Hey there! I was working from home for FEMA but that did not last long. Right now I’m working on building my CZcams content and my blog. It’s so out of my comfort zone but online business/ ministry is my “ calling” so I’m pushing through it❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@meganjohnson4157 oh wow samee lol I’m over here stalling my blessings bc of fear. But you got this!! 😩😊
@@queenrain9725 Giiiiirrrrl. Look at the both of us.....Our biggest blessings are on the other side of us taking a leap of faith...You got this...How do I keep in touch with you and hold you accountable ?
❤️ this! It’s all Facts! I don’t care if I’m going to the grocery store I will always make sure that my appearance is together; you feel better when you take time and put effort into yourself first. This was an excellent video with great advice. I’m so thankful that I grew up with a mother/father, a sister and several aunts that really instilled in me the power of having a positive attitude, high self-esteem, and taking care of yourself and making it a priority.
Don't let the pain distract you from the great blessing that is to come.❤❤
Amen
This warms my heart! Thanks for the tips Octavia, love this video.
Octavia, thank you for the reminders. It’s never too late to learn. ❤️
Thank you for this video… It really shined a light on things I’ve been struggling with!! Yes i would Love a Part 2
Great tips❤️ Really appreciate them. The mindset tip is actually the most challenging one of them all. I’ll be using these tips going forward.
I feel like the hardest part is my friend not changing with me. Some of them are starting to become jealous & I hate that because I want us all to win! What do you suggest in finding new people that are also progressing? I’m also a shy until I get to know you!
Same girl I’m trying to find new friends in LA that are on a spiritual journey like I am but I’m super socially awkward
I understand. I notice when I speak to a specific friend about having a strict morning routine or journaling she keeps her reply very short. I really don’t care though because the level up is for me. I know everyone can’t come with me
Definitely continue to grow in all the ways you need to in order to be your best self. Your friends will notice the growth and either admire you for it, and use you as a source of motivation. OR, they will resent you. Either way, you have to continue to live your life on your terms. Do not let anyone to stifle your growth, I did an I resented myself for years.
Leveling up is going to come with cutting off friends and family oh well
I’m experiencing the same thing. I would join classes. For example running groups which wake up early in the morning are so motivating. Also, workout or dance classes. Lastly, networking groups, club, & women empowerment events( check event brite ). Some can be an investment but it’s worth it. We are who you hang around. Also I learned that we can’t control everybody even if we want them to win with us. The truth is everybody can’t win with us sometime the journey is just for us. Please don’t feel bad for winning. Please don’t dim your light to make them feel better keep shining. I’m sure you can talk to them about basic stuff but when it comes to self development talk to people that are trying to do the same. ❤️
Just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for this video. I have been on a level up journey for 2years and have gone backwards and have struggled to be consistent the past few months. This has given me so much to work on and to think about and motivation to start again. Thank you☺️
You really turned your energy up in this video and I'm loving it. This was a very interesting video done with a little excitement. Great job. we all see your growth and I'm proud of you.
Omg ive been watching u since forever but this is my first time commenting. Really needed this positiveness today. Thankyou octavia 🧡 you are genuinely such a nice person 🤍
Love your content, and I agree on self care I try to teach this to my daughter. Blessings to you 🙏🏾🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I'm so here for it, i'm literally about to start my journey. I love your channel :) x
QUEEN❤️ Congrats on 140k🎉 Thank your you content is top tier. 👌
Please do more of these things doll. I live for them. So motivating 👸🏾
Thank you for this. The first point is something I needed the work on... the attitude part. Now a days I smile more and it really works. A good attitude really changes a lot. Makes you more beautiful and approachable.
amen , so true
This video came at the right time. I was journaling about how I needed to wake up & make life changes. I will be utilizing your tools. Thank you ❤️
This year has been the year of letting go, internal child work and working super hard with my mental and physical level up. It’s hard but so with it! I relate to what you say a lot. ❤️
this is my first time watching your video and not only did I enjoy the tips you shared, as I've been going through my healing journey, but I also love your Jamaican accent that pops in here and there. looking forward to watching other videos from you (: sending you good vibes
Thank you for such great tips 🙏🏾 such a beautiful soul inside and out !!!
i can relate to some of the points you talked about and have mostly struggled with how i actually let people's thoughts and opinions affect me. Although i'm still on a journey of self discovery, i know i'll be alright. thank you so much for sharing this content.
Love this. I connected with that part about disconnecting with those with low vibes. I realized how some people are just negative all the time and self pitty without trying to change. I feel more selfless and not selfish.
Thank you for sharing. I'm working on several of these!💙
Definitely needed this video Octavia! Thank you for this.
You inspire me so much! I toned down my makeup choices after watching your how to look expensive video - and GIRRRL you were not wrong! Love myself a soft/neutral glam. Useful tips. Thank you!
Whew! Mindset is a big one. More so letting my fear get in my way 😭
I know the feeling
yes omggg needed to watch this video! I'm trinidadian and grew up attitude city lmao I'm in nursing school now and recently got a reality check. and i took it personally but i NEEDED to hear it! love love love this video omg !
This was so refreshing to watch. I’m leveling up w/ my diet first. Mentally I was down but now I noticed a huge difference w/ taking care of my health by eating better and exercise. Now I have the energy to do the rest. Love this video.
It is really nice to see you working so actively on yourself. This is such an important process and something that I strive to do as well. Continuing to level up quietly to be the person that I want to be in the future. One of my take aways from this video is to speak and manifest that positivity. Feed your mind that and continue to walk within yourself with that positive mental attitude. It makes you so much more enjoyable to be around. One thing that I always thought was so and so is nice...until I met them..... and then I didn't want to be around them at all. A person with a positive attitude is so much more fun to be around.
Thank you for the pep talk Octavia, the last one is my problem, but I’m working on it. The one about growing up in Jamaica is so true, we must always look good when you going out or even outside. Thank you again!
Octavia , you’re so inspiring 😫🤍🤍🤍 literal role model . Thanks for sharing.
Octavia B. Big up yuhself. I too am on this journey. I had attitude for days (still do at times, still working on it) and I wasn’t afraid to “give yuh piece a mi mind.” The world isn’t against me and I don’t need to have my guard up all the time. Thank you for this video! Happy New year!
This topic is what I’ve been reading on over the current years and it’s helped me a lot! As a child it helped me with shyness. Now it’s again what is helping with my confidence & anxiety. Thanks for posting content in this topic. Wholesome to be seeing in January for me. ❤️✊🥰🤗
Yes I really needed this as I’m working on self care and reinventing myself for the better… LEVELING UP. Growing and Glowing my CZcams channel, elevating my finances and reaching goals. NEW SUBBIE
Octavia girl, your videos never disappoint. Your videos are top tier. I wish you nothing but success, you deserve it girl!
Thank you so much!!
Omg... I love, love, love your style/tips!! A little Rhi Rhi is needed every now & then! I was the same way. Trust me the seriousness comes from our Caribbean culture. Many were thought to keep the smiling to a limit, if not people will take you us for granted. Keep the tips coming! 🥰😇 🇯🇲
This is such an AWESOME reminder- the reminder of self-care/self love. I've definitely taken many tips fr U as I have mentioned b4. I'm more conscious to take extra pride in myself even if I'm going up the block in my neighborhood. And u are so right about when u take extra pride in how you dress- it does not go unnoticed & you are 💯 treated differently. I recalled u saying that b4 & decided to put it to the test & it really worked: ppl want to open the door 4 you, etc.etc. THX U 4 these tips 🤎
You are so welcome! yes for real
Love ❤️ this! You explained each key points better than I could ever. My takeaway: "Treat yourself like you're a person in recovery." 🙏🏿❤️
This was so great, per usual! Thank you so much, Octavia! ❤️❤️
Enjoyed listening and watching you. I admire how you look so happy and in tune with yourself
Wow this video came to me at the right time! I was literally having a conversation with myself in the car this morning about how I really want to level up my life , especially with my attitude . You hit the nail on the head !
P.s long time follower here! So happy to see all your growth! Your videos have seriously helped me so much! So proud and happy for you!!
Aww thank you so much! good luck girl ! You got this
This was so helpful! I have been looking for ways to help move into maturing and changing.
Not chakka chakka …mi burst out laughing. Haven’t heard that for years 😂
So happy when I see your videos pop up before mi even watch
this took me out LMAO
aww thank you ! and yes - im always saying this
I started my pageant journey and that is what is helping me elevate myself. I am grateful for the journey 💜
number 5 (self care) is such a big one for me and really hits home because this was one of my first major steps in my level up journey that has been going on for a little over a year now! understanding the difference between over consumption and the true definition of self care which is to do things that make you feel good and connect with your inner peace. i don’t need to buy items all the time to practice self care
You the best girl, I admire your work ethic. Thanks for always helping us level up. Love from South Africa. We love you here!!!
Omg I love you guys too! the support is unmatched and I can't wait to visit ❤️
Girl thank you so much for this!!! I really needed this ❤️🥲
This is all such great advice! I typically try to clean house once a quarter. I'll remove folks off social media, from my contacts list...gotta get rid of the stale energy. I also will go through my photo library once a month too. This is a great way to get rid of images that are blurry, screenshots that I needed to send to someone, etc. I'm huge on digital detoxes, we often forget to do that.
I absolutely love this!! Thank you for shearing these tips!!
Love the attitude aspect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Leveling up challenge 🥰
Yes yes 👏🏾 👏🏾 this is the journey I’m on!!! Leveling Up!!! ❤️
Girl…you’re channel has grown so much! Im so happy for you! Keep going!!

Octavia B - so happy I came across your page. I love that you keep it real and I love that you are not afraid to bring out the Jamaican accent!! Authentic! I am Jamaican and you make me proud.

Just finished the Mark Mason book because of your recommendation. Thank you! I think I might have to buy the physical book now and put pure post it notes and page tags in it
Grateful for this video. ✨Thank you Queen!
Exactly what I need to do .thank you Octavia B❤
I just want to stop rejecting myself before others do even when they are not going to, my mind just tells me "you won't be liked".....
You are an inspiration

I needed this, thank you... You just changed my life ❤️😊... New subbie and I love you already.
You did a fantastic job on your leveling up topic.👏 Congratulations on your 140k subscribers 👏 ❤
I feel like living in Guyana and growing up poor it make it hard for a me to feel feminine (it come from a survival place). Sometime i am watch these videos and I ask myself if these are the only things that makes you feminine. I am happy to see one of my cribbean family succeed keep up the good work.
As you go about your day, decide for yourself if you are moving and approaching life in a feminine manner. Decide if you are pleased with the energy that emanates from you. Keep what pleases you & what you are satisfied with. Adjust those things that you’d like to see more soft, elegant, and ladylike. Pursue who you want to be. Blessings & good luck 🌷
Love it! 🤍
you look absolutely stunning in this video, you look stunning ALWAYS but it’s just something about this video that has you glowing! I’m making so many changes to become the women I want to be and the lifestyle that I want to have and this video definitely was an open eye on where to start and how to keep going, so thank you Octavia 💛
Thank you so much!!
@@OctaviaB no thank you!! 💛
OMG, you are such a breath of fresh air ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Plus the being unapproachable thing… I also get that a lot. I think it’s a Jamaican thing… we naturally don’t skin teet fi purpose 🤣
Love love looove this video. All great tips!
Loved this video! will be making sure I abide by some of these tips daily
Love this! You’re such a reliable source of advice :)
Totally agree with you, the only thing I would change would be my mindset affect everything so I would say that would be number 1 than appearance as they say “when you look good, you feel good” tfs!!!
I love every tip!!!!! Yassssssss putting urself together at all times!!!!!!!
So proud to see a beautiful young lady, continue to bring out the best in yourself and using this platform to encourage others. The sky is the limit for you. That Jamaican accent comes out now and again
Thank you so much! And yes the patois just comes in whenever
Gurl! Perfectttt timing!!!!! If mi love yuh one more time!!!! Thankkkkk youuuuu! I just love this
