Fun Outfit

It’s the end of the week and what are you going to wear

No

Not that again

Don’t wear that

You’re only wearing it because it’s easy

Find something that you love

Something that’s fun

Wear fun clothes

Fun shouldn’t stop when we grow up

Find something that you love

And wear it

A tulle skirt with a jumper and boots

A long skirt with a tee shirt

Trousers with a dress

But it doesn’t have to be unusual combinations

It can just be something that you love

A gorgeous shirt

A fantastic dress

Sometimes it’s easier to start with accessories

Wear those earrings

You know the ones that you love but think might be too big

Just wear them

Enjoy them

Enjoy being you

That’s all

How journaling stops negative self talk

Negative self talk acts like ‘scripts’ in our brain that we run through repeatedly. It’s a bit like rehearsing for a play: You have your script and you go over it again and again, learning the lines, assuming the character, working out how to play the part. All the while your negative self talk embeds itself in your brain as the truth.

The problem is that these are negative scripts made up of thoughts and they are not necessarily true. However you might think they are true because you’ve practiced them so many times that you have now assumed the character portrayed in the script.

The benefits of journaling for self care

Journaling for self care will help you reveal your thoughts, stop hiding from yourself, identify unconscious beliefs that stop you from dressing better than you do, and challenge your brain’s acceptance of your life status quo.

If you are not looking your best every day and hiding from yourself, if you know you could look and feel much better than you do, but feel stuck, or overwhelmed, I really recommend you develop a journaling practice and learn the benefits of journaling for self care.

Specifically I recommend, wardrobe journaling, a journaling practice which focuses on your clothes: what you wear, what you think about what you wear; what you might like to change.

Rather than rushing into buying clothes you don’t need or want in an effort to stop feeling like you do I recommend that you stop.

Stop, sit down, get yourself a drink a notebook and a pen.

And start to write.
