Dress Like Today Is Important
We can start telling ourselves today is important. Today is the only day we have got that has some reality to it. Why shouldn’t we treat it as important? It is. So dress like it matters.
A lot of rules are about conscious choice, conscious decisions and conscious awareness. Those I have observed who seem to have got a handle on this things called life are conscious people. They are awake and aware. They know what they are doing and where they are going. If you too want your life to be more than a set of random events that happen to you and instead make it a series of stimulating challenges and rewarding and enriching experiences, then you too have to be conscious.
You do this by greeting each day as if it is important. You get up and shower, wash, shave, put on make-up, comb hair, clean teeth and basically do all those things to make you look good, feel good, smell good. You then dress smartly, cleanly, snappily, stylishly, as if you are going to a job interview or a birthday party or on an outing. If you dress for each day expectantly, importantly, smartly, then each day will become that.
People will react differently to you if you dress as if it matters and you will react differently to that different reaction. It’s an upward spiral. I have to stress we are talking formal here and you don’t have to be buttoned up and uncomfortable. Just dress as if it matters.
What about weekends, you may ask, surely we can relax then? Of course, but it doesn’t mean you should let yourself go. At weekends you are going to see friends or family and they too deserve to see you looking good and as if they matter. Not even your friends want to see you slovenly, disheveled, untidy, and uncared for. It is really about you. If you greet each day as if it is important, then it will do wonders to your self-esteem, your self-respect, your self-confidence.
If you adopt the conscious approach to living, you will find it quite hard to consciously dress down. So start dressing up from today and you will feel great!
