FUN WAYS TO RE-ACTIVATE YOUR JOY
Happy Spring!
*this is my go-to happiness image every Spring. :o)
AS WE move into a new season, especially Spring, we often clear out our closets, drawers and dusty corners.
Why let this new season just be a repeat of the same old seasonal change as other years when we can grasp this shift in climate and sun to inspire us forward!
I often say and deeply believe, ‘perception is everything’, because what we think creates our next moment.
This is so true within every aspect of our lives; our expectations of others, our expectations of how our day will unfold, our self-perceptions and so on. There is a ‘framework’ in the human mind that we have constructed over time regarding every single thing we believe and think about. These perceptions become outdated and often narrow in viewpoint. The only way that framework can change is if we set our determination to be open to new perspectives in order to improve our life and gain some benefit. It’s also crucial to hold that vision and mission when the mind and body wants us to just keep returning to the safety zone of old patterns and thought- forms.
One fun way to kickstart this beautiful seasonal change with JOY and a new openness within our thought-forms is to ‘take it to the closet’.
Have you ever thought about how certain pieces of clothing make you feel?
Take a moment right now to think about one or two things in your wardrobe...casual, or dressy or in-between that makes you FEEL good! What piece is something you know will uplift you when you put it on? Are there several? Are there none? Oh, well then it’s time to get CREATIVE.
Don’t just transfer one seasonal box of clothes for the last. Instead, seek inspiration and joy!
First:
Put on your happy music, apply some nice make-up, fix your hair and then… ‘take it to the closet’.
2nd: Methodically try on EVERY SINGLE THING, one at a time of course. Stand in front of the mirror and reflect on how that, outfit, color, overall look makes you feel!
BE HONEST...If it doesn’t make you FEEL JOY… donate it. Commit to only wear what makes you feel good.
Create a Feel Good Zone and a Donate Zone while trying things on.
3rd: Look at the Feel Good stuff and find new ways of putting them together with other pieces. Go outside of your standard attire, get a little brave with playful mixing of colors and patterns. Pull out the jewelry and funk it or bling it up!
4th: Now, dressed in that Most Joyful outfit, look in that mirror and commit to only wearing what makes you FEEL GOOD from now on. And DONATE!
5th: Keep that outfit on to drop off donations...then maybe shop more OR get a coffee, groceries, Home Depot, it doesn’t matter where. Just play joyfully with your day in your new HAPPY outfit.
You could also just go shopping for new clothes, which is often fun. But that alone won’t help you to retire what isn’t bringing you joy.
You could also use my stand-by, which is to buy some Rit Dye for that ‘staple’ garment that is yet another white, or boring beige piece in your closet. I get more compliments on garments I’ve dyed (in one of my favorite colors), much more often than I do for other clothing!
HINT: If you have family or friends you trade bags of clothing with this is where dying the white or beige items really comes in handy. You like the item a lot but it’s another white blouse? Dye it!
Whatever it is, especially if putting things together in a new funky way is calling to you….go for it!
WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY – NOT WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAVE OTHERS APPROVE OF YOU, AND CERTAINLY NOT WHAT ALLOWS YOU TO HIDE ! This is BLOOM TIME.
Let Your Creative Spirit Flow!
Whether it is pulling together a ‘funky’ new style, opening up that paintbox you keep pushing to the back of the cupboard, rearranging furniture, designing a new flower garden, or starting a brand new journal with seasonal prompts and a new set of colored pens… Let your creative energy be your medicine this season. And wear that joy!
I promise… you’ll have fun with this and you may even break out of old ways of seeing yourself. Break free of those old perceptions of yourself. You can recreate your image in any way you wish!
