All rights reserved. Chapter 1Express Yourself (and Don’t Hold Back)Strut Your StuffYou embody your own style. This may be an obvious observation, but often we find ourselves comparing what we see in the mirror to the women we see in magazines, on television or film, or even in our everyday lives. What we don’t see is what happens when the camera clicks off. Many of these women dress or portray themselves in a certain way that is not necessarily who they are, and imitating that should not be something we emulate when we already have our own essence.Our styles tend to shift and evolve throughout our lives, particularly when we go through major changes. A close friend of mine purchases an outlandish item when something drastic happens―a job is lost, a relationship comes to an end, etc. She uses it as sort of a reverse good luck charm, but I believe it is her way of embracing her beauty on her own terms. And let’s point out the obvious: Sometimes buying something that allows us to completely reinvent ourselves (which doesn’t have to break the bank) is a beautiful and healthy way to not only accessorize but expand our lives.***Affirmation StationI am not going to compare myself to anyone else.I choose to wear things that are true to me.I will let my own unique style shine.***The Best Version of You Is…You!Every outfit you admire, every color that lights up your face, every pair of shoes you flip for―they all reflect you at your best, ready to take on the world. No matter what type of woman you are―hipster, supermodel, academic―you are absolutely correct. There is no right way to be. How you choose to show yourself to the world and what makes you truly happy as a human being is how you should be living your life every single day without hesitation.***Affirmation StationI will express myself honestly.I am never wrong in how I choose to be.I love every part of me.***No Labels AllowedNo one should make you feel ashamed of the things that make you happy. If you have been pigeonholed by one of these labels―let’s, say you are an athlete and love playing sports but decide to learn how to play a musical instrument and join a band―this is something you must keep in mind. Labels should not limit us from doing the things that we love. If you grew up interested in certain things but those interests shifted later in life, that is A-OK. As Marianne Williamson put it so well, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” Know yourself, and don’t hold back. Give yourself permission to find the best within you and let it shine without shame or apology. Nobody’s going to benefit from your hesitation―you’ve got too much to get done to keep your talents hidden away just so that others are more comfortable around you. Dare to be powerful. Try it out. All those clichés―roll with the punches, just do it, you’ll never know until you try, you can do anything you set your mind to―well, they get stuck in our heads because they’re true. So go for it!“You just have to look past it. |
