Our dressing room can thus become a real ally and help us create a virtuous circle. Indeed, taking the time to get dressed, choosing clothes that we like and that flatter us, is to give ourselves attention, and thus improve our self-esteem from which we can draw charisma and confidence.
So how we use our dressing room can have a real impact on how we feel. In these times of telecommuting and successive confinements, it is important to continue to take care of our appearance and our look,first of all for yourself and to feel good.
We may be tempted to dress more casually, or to stay in our pajamas all day, but this often has a negative impact on our productivity. On the contrary, taking the time to get ready and dressed in the morning allows us to stay dynamic, as the clothing helps to give a framework, to remind us that we are at work, even from a distance, and to boost our motivation and efficiency.
When our morale is low or our self-confidence is lacking, we tend to pay less attention to our appearance. The tendency is to wear the same clothes, neglect our style and beauty routines. In her book Mind what you wear: the psychology of fashion, Karen Pine notes that the majority of women surveyed wear their favorite shoes more when they are happy. She deduces that our clothes are not just an aesthetic whim. They do have a role to play in our self-image, by reinforcing our self-confidence and our abilities.
