Depressed? Get dressed. I did. It changed everything for me.
Learn how getting dressed prevented me from getting depressed! This topic is very personal to me, and because I am so deeply connected to it, I’ve made it my professional mission to share it with as many people as I can as well. This is just one of many compelling topics that was examined on my interview with Kerry Nieberding on the Elevate Tele-summit. If you want to get the full interview (and I suggest you do now!), CLICK HERE for access to it. (NOTE: It’s only available for a short time longer)
As a woman business owner with a personal brand, your image is your 1st introduction to the world. It matters- a lot! It may not be the most important thing about you, but it is the 1st thing people learn about you.
Get dressed.
You send the message internally, and externally to the world that you’re taking yourself seriously. You are worth the time, energy and the effort to do this for yourself, to get dressed and to look and feel amazing in your skin. Taking the time for yourself. If you’re right now grappling over feeling selfish for putting you and your look 1st, I ask you to reconsider. This is not selfish. This is self-care.
Let me prove it: My experience this past year.
Just a year ago, I moved across the country. It was a difficult transition to say the least. I was down on myself, felt depressed, and grew discouraged to grow my business in a new city or to grow at all, quite honestly.
Then a funny thing happened. I got dressed! I started getting dressed even when I didn’t have to. Not only did I feel better about myself, but other people around me did too. It was actually uplifting to other people around me, to experience a woman taking care of herself, honoring her beauty, and setting the example for them to do it as well.
You can change how you feel about yourself by changing how you dress. Connecting to your style, self-expression, and your creativity, is connecting to the truth of who you are. It is incredibly liberating to wear clothing that you love. When you feel great about yourself, you raise your vibration, and you’re likely to attract the things you want in your life faster and easier.Get dressed in the morning. It sets the tone for your day. Wear clothing that you love and that feels good on your body. Create an image that you’re proud of. That creates presence.
People see it. They feel it. They respond to it and they remember it!
When you take your image seriously, other people assume you take your business seriously and that you’ll take them, as your client, seriously too.
Today, I mostly work from home, taking clients in my home office virtually. I still get dressed to ‘go to work.’ If I were going to work at an office someplace else, I would spend the time getting dressed. Somehow when we work for ourselves from home, we lose that value to put extra time into looking our best.
I take my own business and my brand probably more seriously than I’ve taken any other ‘job’ in my life. And at the same time, getting dressed in clothing that I love helps me to NOT take it all too seriously! It’s a ritual that is uplifting and playful and fun. I want to have as much fun as I can on the job, while changing people’s lives and building my business. I bet you do too!
