Fashion helps me to feel special. When the day is dark, I am prone to spotting somber colors. I feel heavy in spirit. Nobody. Insignificant. Wasting my life. Foolish negative self-talk, I know. So in prance an action plan. Step one, fight back with fashion. I consciously make a booster effort and pull out some classier elements like satin, faux fur and sequins.
Secondly, I let it out. Maybe talk to a trusted person. Write in my journal. Read and comment others’ blogs. Often while commenting, as I formulate my messages, I find clarity and new openings for me, too. The worst is bundling up all the negativity in me, thinking that I’ll bother other people with my heart-burning, energy-robbing issues. Think about your life, when you’ve wanted to confide in a reliable person, how often have they been touched by your move, how frequently annoyed? See…
Thirdly, I find some time, even if just a tiny moment, to do things that I really enjoy. For me going out in fresh air, walking and being alone with my thoughts, with or without music – depending on my mood.
I allure the good vibes out by starting from the outer, moving into the inner, then finish up with giving myself some inspiring action. This helps more or less - depending on the seriousness of the bluesy state. Today I feel serene and deeply contented. Nevertheless, my feeling of well-being is even deeper, because I know that when the dark moment eventually comes, I can solidly handle it. I can enjoy happiness right now, and trust in myself even beyond.
I am excited to start a new year in your company! I would love to hear from you, in abundance. Be there for you if ever you wanted a chic-fascinated, soul-peace searching, always honestly-life-event-telling, artist-fashion-city chick mentor from Quebec City! How do you define yourself… just like that, spontaneously?
