Question for you: In your wardrobe, do you have nice clothes and nice clothes? And your hair, is it styled in a way that you like? Anxiety and depression right there my friend. If you do not feel good that is?
Let me explain: During my adult life, of being a woman who is a self-confessed slave to fashion – I know, I know, I have had to learn to have a wardrobe full of fashion for different occasions. Now the idea behind this for me, and until now, this idea has only really worked in theory. I still mess up LOL!
Why you may ask? Because I had to grow into my body and fashion and learn to like myself and the skin that I was in. And I can assure you, that this is not an easy concept to grasp. Especially when you want to feel and look good at the same time. This includes a hairstyle to be proud of.
And because I am now getting older and I really do not wish to always be a slave to fashion, or have issues with my hair. I have had to teach myself to like myself (there’s my anxiety) and also learn to make a fashion statement, by mixing, matching, and playing with what is in my wardrobe – ie: seeing if I like what I have on and going from there.
So, by making sure that you have an outfit that you will like on, your mind ( which is your mental health and learning), body (your feelings), and soul (how you feel overall about you), will begin to organize itself and because you already feel good, if someone pays attention to you and what you are wearing and says something nice to you, the flattery will get you everywhere. Meaning you may be buzzing for a while after. This is a good thing.
You have already engaged with yourself (managing your matters and your mental health – lower levels of anxiety) and you made sure that you managed your matters- and the flattery has given you an added boost helping you to feel more fantastic than you did before!
