What is the belief you personally go to during times of change?
How bad can it be? Recognizing that I could deal with even the worst-case scenario makes the great unknown more manageable.The best thing about change is…
It reminds you you're alive.What is the best change you have ever made?
Getting married, which felt so natural, it didn't feel big and scary at all.Advice on Change
1. Gather inspiration--from magazines, from friends, from your favorite fantasy stores, from the Internet, or from plain old people-watching. Ideas are everywhere!
2. When it's time to go for that first shopping spree or trip to the salon, bring along someone you trust, and whose taste you admire. She can help you navigate your new look.
3. Before you do anything irreversible (like plastic surgery) or really expensive, sleep on it...for a week!
4. DON'T FALL VICTIM TO TRENDS! "New" doesn't have to mean super-trendy, especially if it doesn't suit you, your life, your body. If you do want to test out a trend, try an inexpensive, “disposable” version: a piece that’s going to last about one season, just like the trend.
5. Above all, remember who you are, and what makes you feel comfortable. Picture yourself in three situations you find yourself in each week. If you can’t imagine wearing your new look in at least two of them, it probably isn’t for you.
