I wish I’d known about emotional management sooner
I thought you just had thoughts and had to cope with them
I thought if you woke up anxious and fearful and upset
you just had to deal with the day like that
I had no idea you could tell your brain what to do
Maybe the grown ups don’t know either
so they didn’t tell us
Then I realised that emotional management applies in all area of our lives
especially so in our wardrobes
Track your thoughts about your clothes when you look at them
hanging there all innocently
Life is interesting when you track your thoughts
sometimes we have no idea about the script that is running in the background
So often we’re not kind to ourselves
and we don’t say anything helpful or constructive
This happens with clothes
You look at a pair of jeans
and think
They are too small
This means I am too fat
I’ve eaten too much
Will I ever lose that weight
Then you look at a dress and think
I really love that but I think my bust is too big to wear it
Such a shame it was really expensive
Can you see what I mean
It’s so ridiculous
I mean they’re just clothes
and your wardrobe is supposed to house clothes that you wear
not emotions that don’t help in any way at all
I’ve written a long blog post about this
which you can read here:
Why there are more emotions in your wardrobe than clothes
I’ve created a cheat sheet for you to easily journal about your clothes
and your relationship to them
Some people
and you may be one of them
struggle to connect their thoughts
It’s so easy to stay on auto pilot
and not examine what you are thinking
This cheat sheet will help you think your thoughts
If you want to live the life of your dreams
show up each day loving being you
be authentically you in this world where you can choose to be anyone
but where we often choose to be noone because the choice seems overwhelming
then get started today with some journaling
You may just surprise yourself
and take that fork in the road that moves you on to being the woman you are created to be
