Changing colours
Instinctively, even as small children, we have a tendency to be drawn to certain colours which correspond to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state.
Certain colours stay with us as favourites for many years and tend to be reflected in the colour we decorate our homes, of the cars we drive, our hair colour, clothes and even make up we wear.
But what do these colours tell the outside world about us.
So, what colour do you like the most?
What colour do you like the least?
Now ask yourself why those colours?
Come on, dig deeper how long have you liked or disliked these colours? And what was happening in your life at that time?
Now we’re getting somewhere. Is that colour working for you, does it make you look “washed out” “old” or stop you making the impact you want to make?
Has that issue now been resolved and if so why do you still have that colour palette predominantly in your life?
Why are you still wearing the same colours in your make-up, clothes and hairstyle and length at 40 as you did in your 20’s? Is it appropriate now and what message are you giving to the world, particularly if you are interfacing on a professional level with others. Does it give the impression of someone who is inflexible, lacking maturity and confidence?
Change can be uncomfortable, and for some, a difficult thing to embrace. It takes a great deal of effort to sustain, even when we want to make those changes that are necessary for our development so that we can achieve our potential.
Take time to examine how you project yourself in your stance, clothes, make up, hairstyle and now ask yourself is that the image you want to give? Is that the real you, now?
Look at your skin, is it in good condition? Are you cleansing, moisturising or over-exposing your skin to sun damage. Is your make-up suitable for your skin tone, complexion, age, environment etc., and how relevant and suitable are the colours you’re using?
Never forget the power and influence you have as a walking, living, breathing advertisement of your business, your organisation, department, role and you as an individual.
In the words of the remarkable and amazing Nelson Mandela
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure,
It is our LIGHT, not our darkness, that most frightens us,
We ask ourselves, who am I to be this brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world,
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you,
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us,
It’s not just in some of us: it’s in everyone,
And as we let our LIGHT shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Be who you want to be, deserve to be, Be Fabulous.
