Dress Therapy

by: Mindy Scheier

Now that we changed the clocks back, I don't know about you all but I get kinda moody when there is no daylight past 3:00! It's actually very similar to how I feel when I realize at 8:00 at night that I am still in my gym clothes and haven't showered…. DEPRESSED!

I had a good chat about this very thing with a woman who showed up at a very muddy football game absolutely dressed to kill. She looked fabu in a her skinny jeans, riding boots, darling sweater coat and great gold chains
(excellent look for the fall).

When questioned why she looked so stunning, she replied that it was because she felt so bloated and crappy. “Interesting” I muttered as I mulled over her logic. When she woke this morning and didn’t feel her best, she promptly showered, put on a cute outfit and blew out her hair to perfection! Suddenly all was well with the world and those extra 5 pounds of bloat faded away.

Ladies, similar to light-therapy during the winter months; DressTherapy can do the same to lift your mood. I dare you to try it. The next time you feel down in the dumps with bad hair and a pimple, drag yourself into the shower and start anew.

This is an especially effective technique as you are searching for a job. Even if you are just sitting at your computer, it is a proven fact that if you feel good about yourself everything else just seems to fall into place (ok- so it’s a fact that I declared proven!)

So, moral of the story? Feeling good about how you look is categorically the cheapest therapy you will ever have!
