Who are you?

Many of you know that we are posting the "Secrets of Mastering Personal Style" on our member site. As each segment is completed, we are giving our members the unique opportunity to go through the segment, review it and tell us their stories. In order to get the segments out there in a timely manner, I have started dedicating one day a week to do nothing but write.

Yesterday, as I was working on the segment, "Know Thyself", I really had the chance to reflect on the evolution of women. In today's society, more than ever before, women are wearing numerous hats. Many of us have roles that number in the teens and twenties. We are daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, friends, employees, caregivers, coaches, parishoners, teammates...the list goes on and on. So, does that give you any idea as to why women are feeling confused about their personal style?

It's natural for someone to feel that they are one person one minute and another person ten minutes later when that really is the case. Imagine if you work in a corporate atmosphere. Maybe you wear a conservative suit to the office. At 5:30 you find yourself dashing to your child's school to coach their soccer team. By 7:00 you are whipping up a healthy meal for you family. And, finally by 9:00 you are sitting down with you husband to hear about his day and try and connect. You have your corporate conservative style, your sporty, soccer mom style (which luckily works in the kitchen too) and finally you have a sexier, softer style for connecting with you husband. Well, in theory that's how this works.

In reality, you are dressing down at work so that you can just slip your jacket off and walk onto the soccer field. And, odds are at 9:00 you are wearing one of your husband's big, old tshirts. How does that affect your life? You may not think that it does, but research shows that there is a tremendous impact to your psychi which impacts your life.

That's why it is important to us to share the research with you and to show you what a difference your appearance can make in your life. Something as simple as knowing what makes you feel your absolute best can increase your confidence and productivity.

If you are a member and are going through the "Secrets of Mastering Personal Style" program, we are anxious to hear about your personal challenges and how you have been able to improve the way you feel by applying our principles.
