What does the way you are showing up in this world say about you? It may be more than you realize.
Humans have a primitive instinct to make judgments and assumptions based on other’s appearance and actions. Are they friend or foe? Are they confident or cowardly? Are they leading or following?
These are just a few of the ways our brain subconsciously works to categorize people. This is happening on a subconscious level, out of our control. Once we acknowledge that we are doing this to others, we need to understand that these judgments are also being made about us.
So I would invite you to evaluate how you are showing up in this world.
Are you showing up as the confident, warm, and capable person that you are? Or does your appearance, speech, and body language say less about you?
What are some ways that you can elevate your physical appearance? Speak more clearly? Act with intention in every interaction?
By doing these things and ensuring that your presence is actively portraying your inner world (aka the amazing person that you are) you are opening the window of opportunity for better things to come your way. Better job opportunities. Better relationships. Better quality of life. You are actively showing up for the life that you want to live, and not just for now, but also in the future.
Just as your physical appearance and presence can say a lot to the people around you, so can your outer world, such as your house, desk, office, car, etc. How tidy are those areas? How organized?
This can be a great indication of what is happening in your inner world, and also create stress and anxiety. When you’re constantly surrounded by mess and clutter, it is taking up space in your brain. Space that could be used to accomplish a goal, create something new, or invite a new positive relationship in your life. Essentially, it is clouding the ability for these opportunities to come your way.
Try creating some sort of cleaning schedule, whether it is daily or weekly to keep your area and surrounding clean and clutter free. This will help create clarity in your mind and make you much more efficient and open to other areas in your life.
