Getting Dressed is Self Care
I’m sure you have had those days where throwing on an unflattering tee shirt and sweatpants are just about all the energy you can muster. Your mornings are busy and you don’t feel like you have enough time to take care of yourself and properly get dressed. Maybe you have to get your kids off to school and rush back home in time for your first Zoom meeting (camera off, thank you very much).
Now, don’t get me wrong. There are lazy days or weekends where lounging in cozy comfies is more than appropriate. What we are talking about here are the everyday sweatpants and baggy tee that do nothing for your shape and make you feel like a total blob.
Have you been feeling blah in your uninspired sweat outfit? Have you been thinking about stepping up your style and using your wardrobe to feel more confident? Getting dressed is self-care, and taking the time to set up your day for success is a beautiful way to start each and every morning.
Getting dressed sets the tone for your day
Studies have shown that getting dressed for the day helps with productivity. Setting good vibes starts in your closet. You can also use your wardrobe to help set a boundary between work and your evening. Especially when working from home, it is all too easy to blur the lines between working hours and your personal time. By having separate work and evening attire, you can more easily separate these two parts of your day.
Mirrors talk
Chances are, at some point you will walk past a mirror and see your reflection. Maybe you notice how worn out your pants are every time you look down from your computer. Your reflection impacts your self-perception. Get dressed for yourself. Get dressed so that each time you encounter your own reflection in the day you feel empowered and confident in yourself. You deserve to feel good in your clothes.
