Get Out of Your Head: Change Your Mindset With Your Fashion

Did you choose to get dressed today?

No, I don’t mean did you find clothing or did you walk around in your birthday suit. I mean, did you put time and effort into what you wore today?

An outfit can change your whole perspective on your day. If you choose to wear pajama pants and a big T-shirt, it’s probably going to be a lazy day. If you decided on a cute top and your favorite jeans, you’re most likely going to be productive.

That was the feeling I had when I got dressed this morning.

I found something I own that do not normally wear. Mostly because I have always been uncomfortable with showing skin.

Why?

I don’t really know. I have always had the body for form-fitting clothing.

Yet I always felt awkward wearing them. I am going through a process of transformation. Pushing myself out of my comfort zones deliberately in order to gain a new perspective.

So, I chose to get dressed this morning. I chose to look as if I had plans outside of my home when I fully intend to spend the day in my office.

I chose to put pride in my appearance (without having somewhere to be) for the first time in a very long time!

I think I’ve gotten to the point where I want to remind myself, I matter, where I love myself unconditionally and that I want to provide myself with as much care as I am worth. I want to stop depending on the things I do for others, or the things others do for me to keep me in the mindset that I matter.

In order to do that, changes needed to be made.

So, here I stand before you, a 31-year-old woman.

New and improved.

A woman who makes her own happiness and provides her own worth.

So, I’ll ask again — did you get dressed today?
