Healing From The Outside In

Our mind and body go hand in hand, when we change how we think we change how we interact with the universe, drawing to ourselves positive and negative energies. This is becoming a more prevalent and sought after philosophy, given the popularity of movies and books such as The Secret, What the Bleep do We Know, Wayne Dyer’s -The Power of Intension etc…

This (not so new) wave of thought teaches us that we have the ability to change our lives from the inside out; getting us closer to the person we want to be. Changing the mind changes the body, which changes our experience with the world. I am a huge devotee to this type of thinking. However, I have found it can be difficult to get there when we aren’t happy with the person we see in the mirror.

We are visual beings, we are constantly assessing ourselves and others based on appearance. We are seen before we are heard. Although I am an advocate for healing from the inside out, I do think there is something to be said for healing from the outside in. When we can see it, we can believe it. This is especially true for those of us who are empirical thinkers.

• I’ll believe it when I see it!
  

Our image is the first step towards self betterment. I believe that we must be happy now, in order to gain happiness later. We need to be able to look in the mirror and like what we see. When we connect with a positive image of ourselves we will want to work harder for that person… we can see worth and value within, and be inspired and motivated to know that things can be better.

Clothes really do have healing powers. I would like you to remember a time when you wore something you felt absolutely horrible in - remember that feeling of wanting to hide from the world! Now remember a time when you wore something you felt amazing in - remember that confidence. What a difference, right?

Here is my hieratical diagram of growth through appearance

• APPEARANCE
  How we feel about our appearance will effect how we feel about ourselves

• MIND
  How we feel about ourselves will influence our belief in our potential for greatness and affect our body language

• BODY
  Our body language will emit energy which others will observe and react to

• YOU
  The energy we project will draw to us what it is we are resonating with
  

If you are looking to bring about change in your life, begin by constructing your appearance in the image of who you want to be… fake it till you make it! When you dress the part, you will become the part.
