As you head into September, you may find yourself swapping out your shorts for jeans and pants, trading your flip-flops for booties or flats, and embracing the season and all the cozy outfits.
As fall arrives, the season change is the perfect time to assess what’s working and what’s not, reflect, AND start your transformation. Do you usually wait until January to set your new goals? Why wait? Imagine how far along you would be if you took your first steps towards your transformation now instead of holding off for a fresh start in the new year. Imagine all your progress.
Visualize Your Progress
Take a moment, close your eyes, and imagine yourself celebrating all your wins in January. Where will you be, what will it look like, what clothes are you wearing, and what have you changed? Now, take a leap of faith. Instead of just visualizing, start making small changes today and track how much progress you make by the time the New Year rolls around. Imagine how much further along you would be, so much closer to your goals. Imagine stepping into 2025 with a list of changes you have already made and having a sense of accomplishment and momentum. You can embrace the season of change and start your transformation.
What Would Your Life Look Like?
What would your life look like next year if you began this journey now? Do you want to earn more money? Are you going for a promotion, yearning for more confidence, or want to feel more accomplished or more aligned with the vision you have for yourself? Consider your wardrobe and what you’re wearing as you imagine and envision a new, more confident version of yourself. Do the clothes you put on give you an edge, make you stand out or feel powerful? Are you memorable and do you have brand awareness? Start your transformation by letting go of what’s not working for you. Embrace the season and add a few new pieces that give you confidence.
The Power of a First Step
Taking that first step can be daunting, but the cost of staying stuck can be incredibly high. Assess your wardrobe and decide what feels authentic to who you are right now. Try things on and see how they “feel” to you. Do you feel confident and genuine in the pieces you have in your closet, or is it time to move on to something new? When you wear pieces that are authentic, on brand, and give you confidence it will impact your productivity, sales, leadership, collaboration and more. Imagine if you started now and gave yourself a head start. You are worth it. Start by embracing the season change, take small steps and make intentional choices that will move you closer to your goals.
Your Wardrobe as a Tool for Transformation
The clothes you choose to wear have power. They can give you that extra boost of confidence you’re looking for, help you stand taller, embrace your fears, and step out of your comfort zone. As you swap out your summer wardrobe for fall, consider the power you can wield with your clothing and how making small changes in what you wear will reflect the changes you want to make in your life. Instead of wearing the same old, same old, fill your closet with pieces that make you feel empowered, reflect your authentic self, and support the person you want to become.
Take a Leap of Faith
So, what are you waiting for? As the season changes, take a moment and imagine what your life could look like next year if you start making small changes now. Take a leap of faith and start today instead of waiting until January. Your future self will thank you.
