The quick impression we leave behind, intentionally or unintentionally, helps those around us form an opinion. Perhaps they only get the glimmer of us when they meet us, a shell of who we are, but it is life. We're such animals sometimes, aren't we? So why not have a hand in creating the illusion yourself?
Not that one has to put themselves out there with all the vengeance of a Hallow’s Eve reveler - though that IS a way people DO create illusion once a year - but we all can be a little more conscious of the subtleties we project to the world each day.
1| Use those eyes.
Make eye contact even if all you’re doing is getting directions.
2| Find yourself complaining about a “tragic waistline” or “shapeless arms?”
Play up the other parts of you that are the treasures. Those amazing hands? Get a manicure. Long neck? Statement necklace or a long strand of pearls.
3| Dress as if you are going somewhere.
No old bras. No socks with holes. Doesn’t matter if no one will see that item or whether you’re just running to the store (which is as much somewhere as anywhere), you are just trudging along. You are vibrant and alive. You are, aren't you? Energetically, think of it this way... no one gets on the train that's just sitting in the station but the one that's roaring and warming up.
