Enhance Your Non-Verbal Communication
There are many ways to express yourself: tattoos, piercings, accessories, and the clothing we wear.
Clothing is the ultimate way to express your feeling. If you wear big baggy clothes, people will assume you are not in the best of moods or don’t like your body very much. If you wear clothing draws attention or focuses on a specific body part people see that you want to draw attention to yourself.
Many of us have clothes that we pull out when we feel fat, sad, happy. We also have clothing that we have for specific occasions that we force ourselves into when we absolutely have to.
Here’s A Thought
What if we only owned clothing that flattered our body shape and that made us feel good? If we didn’t have fat clothes, would we feel fat? Sure we may feel fat, however if we don’t have fat clothes to wear we can help ourselves overcome that feeling by wearing clothing we own that we like and that makes us look good. This is practical application of “Fake it ‘til you make it” and The Secret ![]()
When I tried to get rid of my fat clothes the first time, it was very very hard… I didn’t realize how much emotional baggage existed. I tried to give them away and physically could not part with them. It took some time to be able to remove them from the house. I started by removing them from the closet, and that’s a whole other article.
Clothing Personalities
In the coming weeks I will explore the prominent clothing styles that I regularly see:
- Actress
- Artist
- Classic
- Rebel
- Sporty
- Social
This list does not cover all the clothing personalities - mixing and matching them creates unique looks and new clothing personalities.
We, by what we wear, give others cues about how to interact with us. Our clothing gives us the ability to enhance our non-verbal cues and help others interpret us. Most importantly allowing our personality and creativity shine through what we wear makes us feel good.
