Do you ever “try to look” a certain way? Like trying to “look professional” or “look successful” or “look sexy”?

Have you noticed that trying to look a certain way is all about trying to control how other people perceive you? And have you noticed that it’s almost impossible to control that?!

Also, have you noticed that trying to look a certain way can make you feel really self-conscious, no matter how much your friends may try to reassure you that you look great?

Talk about taking you out of your power!

It can be really liberating to realize that:

The people who are going to judge you based on what you’re wearing are pretty likely going to judge you, period ... no matter WHAT you’re wearing!

So, would you be willing to STOP trying to look a certain way for other people?

And would you be willing to START choosing what you wear based on how it feels to you?

The angels would love for you to choose clothes that feel comfortable physically. And emotionally. And even mentally and spiritually!

Sure, sometimes that might mean wearing yoga pants all day. (Yay!) And sometimes it might mean recognizing that you actually love wearing jeans and a blazer and cowboy boots!

We encourage you to play with this, because it’s actually a very powerful practice. Choosing what you wear based on how it feels for you is an act of self-care and self-love. AND it’s an act of self-empowerment. It’s also a delicious form of self-expression and self-honoring.

Please do let us know how this feels to you—and if there’s any aspect of this that you really struggle with.
