I visited a friend
recently. I went to help her clean her closet. I wore a new sweater on
the trip to her house.
The evening of my arrival, we began talking about
how we wanted to approach cleaning her closet. We talked about intention
and what guidelines we would use to determine what stayed and what left.
As we were talking, I heard a conversation begin
in my head about the new sweater I was wearing. I jumped up out of my
chair and said let’s use my new sweater as an example. How do I look?
“Okay,” she said. Do I look great or amazing? I saw the answer flicker
across her face. The answer was no. I looked okay but not amazing. I
told her I agreed because I had put this sweater on so many times,
looked in the mirror, and taken it off. Do I want to look okay or
amazing? Do I want to live an okay life or an amazing life? It’s all
connected.
For the rest of the weekend, everything was
evaluated by the WOW Factor! Clothing had to be a WOW to stay. Jewelry
had to be a WOW. Pictures had to be a WOW. Everything related to WOW
because it is what we were choosing for ourselves. (And WOW did we have
a great meal at a beautiful restaurant! Thanks TB!)
Using the WOW factor, we can chart a course to an
extraordinary life. Our outer environment always reflects our inner
environment. Our clothing reflects how we are feeling about ourselves.
Think about how you feel in your favorite outfit. When you look in the
mirror, do you say, “Yeah! Looking Good!” How many compliments do you
get when you wear your favorite outfit? Do you feel different in that
outfit vs an outfit you could care less about?
Go look in your closet right now. Do the clothes
reflect who you are in your life? If not, start clearing out what is not
you and make room for those beautiful things that express your beautiful
essence!
Do you want to live the WOW life? Or, for you, is
it the Peace factor? The Adventure factor? The Love factor? Or, any
other word that expresses you? YOU GET TO CHOOSE! Use your factor as the
measuring stick for your life. Use it for your clothing, every item in
your home, right down to the soap you shower with. It all counts, it all
matters. Design you outer environment, clothing and home, to reflect who
you are on the inside. Release all the things that do not match who you
are at this time. The more your outer environment mirrors your inner
environment, the more fulfilling your life will be.
How amazing I wore a sweater I did not feel WOW
in! How perfectly it brought our awareness straight to the present
moment and guided us in determining what we were choosing for our lives.
Have you ever thought about your clothes, home,
etc expressing your essence? If you haven’t, is it time to?
The only thing that stays the same is …everything
always changes. Keep up with who you are. Express you! You are
beautiful!
In Wowness,
