This is a piece of advice I have just started implementing in my own life. Lately I have been busy certifying as a Sport Yoga trainer. My wardrobe has been 24/7 yoga pants and clothes. They’re comfortable and loose, and I like the fit. However, I do look a bit schlubby.
When we feel a little down about our size or shape, we tend to reach for comfort things. Comfort food and comfort clothes. If I feel a little bloated, I avoid jeans like the plague. I want my nice capri yoga pants. Sure I’m comfortable, but in my scrubbies I only feel worse about myself.
So starting today, when I feel a bit frumpy, I am going to get dolled up. Even if it’s just to sit in front of my computer. I’m not dressing up for anyone else, I’m doing it for me. If I feel crappy, that’s probably when I need to pull out those jeans that I know make my butt look great. I may not feel like it, but I bet I will feel better when I look in the mirror and see a put together woman instead of the bed headed schlub.
Not my kid, but I saw this on the web and it was too cute not to use. So thank you anonymous kid for showing exactly how I feel some days.
