It is very easy at any time of the year to beat ourselves up for all the goals we feel we should have achieved and did not.
The same applies to our clothes. The disappointments are ready to ambush us every time we open our wardrobe doors.
There are the jeans we planned to fit into this year and still we cannot fit into them. There is the new jacket we bought for that special event that never happened. There is the jewellery that has not been fixed a year later.
Girls, it is time to pull out the heart photos to balance all that grief.
What are heart photos? They are your heart's record of the times it sang with the pleasure of being you. Sometimes there is a digital photo but mostly not. You were too busy being happy in the moment to take a photo. Yes, they can be called memories. I like the term heart photos because it is you celebrating being true to your heart.
Here are three ways to enjoy some clothing heart photos so that you skip refreshed and renewed into tomorrow.
Who We Became
Amongst your wardrobe are some clothes that defined you over the last year. Maybe there are clothes, shoes or jewellery that you bought or wore differently to define a better or newer version of you. In the past months you won a promotion or an award; you decided to really step into your business; you got married; you became single; you gave your first public talk or you started your first newsletter.
This newer version of you was reflected in the clothes and accessories you chose to buy and wear. So take one or more of these items out of your wardrobe and thank it for supporting you when you gave that speech or dressed better at work or at networking. Your clothes are part of you. Thank them now for reminding you of who you wanted to be and who you have become.
Pleasure Given
There are clothes and accessories in your wardrobe that always make you feel good whenever you put them on. You choose to wear them for that special feeling it gives you. Maybe you always get compliments wearing it or maybe it makes you feel energetic, younger, slimmer or more professional. It might also be clothes associated with a coffee or a movie shared with a partner or good friends.
Take those items out and thank them. The heart photo is the visual memory plus the good feelings. Remember some of the times you wore them recently. Recall the laughter and the conversations and the important people in your life.
Old Faithfuls
Glamour is seductive. Old faithfuls are the basics of your life. They are that pair of pants or skirt that can be dressed up with other clothes. They are the black shoes or the black handbag that goes with everything. They never fail you and they make whatever else you wear look even better.
Think of them like the character actors in a movie. Every big movie star knows that a great cast makes them more believable and more memorable. So take the old faithfuls out and really appreciate the background clothes of your life.
Now you have balanced the grief and the gratitude. Go and happily make your new intentions knowing that you and your wardrobe are a great team.
