How To Dress To Become Your Dream Self
If you clicked on the title of this blog post, you might be thinkingโฆ Why should I care? Why does it really matter what Iโm wearing, and can that really affect the way I feel and ultimately the way I show up in the world? My answer is a resounding YES, and let me tell you why you should care.
A little backstory on how dressing to become my best self helped me shift my mindset, beliefs, and, honestly, helped me through a really dark time period when I was going through it. It helped me learn the importance of showing up as my best self, which changed my life for the better.
In 2018, I was struggling heavily, as Iโve mentioned before, with autoimmune issues and had very little energy. Some days, I really struggled to even make it out of bed, which is not like me at all, so I knew something was wrong, but I couldnโt figure out what. The actual LAST thing I wanted to do every day was put on an outfit and makeup to feel better when I was down in the dumps, but I would force myself, and to my surprise, I started to notice it had the power to shift me into a better mood.
This isnโt just something that happens by chance; there is real neuroscience behind dressing as the person you want to become and how it can truly change your life for the better. I am also living proof of this because of my own experience!
