Don’t Forget the Lipstick

 Don’t Forget the Lipstick!

I’m always amazed at how Feng Shui works on so many levels.

Feng Shui for Self-Esteem? How does this work?

Feng Shui allows you to ‘take care of things’ and make decisions regarding what you wear, what you eat and what you are going to do; always with intention.
It also allows you to continue to grow and thrive through the changes in life.

What happens when you ‘slow down’ in life? Whether it be retirement, underemployment or could be that you need a rest or a change.

The reality is, if you’re not getting out as much anymore, you’re not being seen and valued. This is important to ward off anxiety, build confidence and validate self-worth. Seriously we all NEED human contact.
Remember the lock down a few years ago and we were physically isolated from contact? Everyone huddled in their homes without interaction.
It was almost the same feeling when we lived up north. The properties were larger; therefore, it wasn’t so easy to interact with the neighbors. I really missed not seeing someone next door. To be able to wave ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’ was important to be seen and be heard.

A few things you can do right now to raise your self esteem and be seen is basically make an effort to raise the bar.
Being ‘seen’ is not just for speakers and sales people. YOU need to see yourself as being important, worthy and happy with BEING YOU!

Whenever a major change is happening in your life, or you are choosing a shift, something needs to change. When you look at yourself in the bathroom mirror, can you SEE anything else changing too? Is it just the same tired face?

It’s wonderful what a smile and makeup can do for your self-esteem!

If you are wondering ‘why bother’, or ‘Who’s going to see me today?’ It’s actually YOU that needs to SEE that you are worthy and should bother. I joke when the neighbor’s comment that I’m ‘all dressed up’.  I tell them, ‘I get dressed up for my computer these days’! LOL! But really, it’s for ME. It’s how I wish to present myself as a confident, happy person.

Try something different and SHINE:

• Change your hairstyle, or tie it up differently.
• Chose a brighter color to wear.
• Earrings draw attention to your face.
• Put on some eye-makeup to brighten the eyes.
• Don’t forget the lipstick!

Lipstick feels soft and moist on your lips; it also draws attention to your voice and your requests. Lipstick is not just for date night.
Change something visual and go about your business. Do what your need to do and go out to the grocery store, around town and SEE if others can see you differently.
Your good vibes will be noticed.
Life can be better when you raise the bar for yourself.

Be seen and BE heard and present yourself as you are meant to BE!

Have a wonderful experience and enjoy the week ahead.

Warmth, Kathryn
