This ditty comes from my sister. After Connor's birth, I had a bit of difficulty getting my groove back. So she sent me a book, which basically said "start putting yourself back together - and start with your clothes because that's an easy place to start". It would take me a while to admit this, but about 2 years ago, I finally implemented a "no sweat pants" rule for myself - with the only exceptions being around the house late at night and while working in the garden.
I don't think any further explanation is needed on this one.

Building a worldview:
Day 1: Surround Yourself With Brilliant People
(though my friend Susan makes a good point that clever is pretty
good, too).
Day 2: Whatever, it works.
Day 3: Surround Yourself With Beauty
Day 4: When You Go Through Something New - Drag Someone With You
I thought clothes was the hardest place to start. I didn't want to start buying new clothes before I got rid of the baby weight. That said, it's probably the easiest way to brighten up an outlook.
ReplyDeleteI used to change and take my make-up right after coming back home and putting sweat pants/t-shirt. poor hobby... I stopped doing that.

I struggle with this. I love to be comfortable in my home. The first thing I do is change into sweatpants and take off my bra. Hmmmm - you have made me think.
