Changed style can change your life!!! By Bannya Basu

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

Someone has rightly said this quote, we all look ourselves differently. Some of us are confident of our looks but this is not the case with all as few are less-confident and unsure of their abilities and get conscious about their looks. All of these intertwining thoughts/factors and how we view ourselves is called our self-image. This is our personal viewpoint that is our creation.

Recently I have observed that the current situation is not easy to deal with but can we do something to alter this situation? It’s just like opening Pandora's box, right there. Changing a bad situation opens up possibilities for even worse situations.

And sometimes things can get worse. As sometimes it’s always good by ending a toxic friendship which leaves you lonely.

Sometimes just by hiring a repairman to fix that long-broken light fixture leads to the discovery that your house is infested with termites.

Sometimes Change may be the only way left to improve your image, but it is undeniably scary. Nevertheless, change is what powers life and change is always good.

Just by doing small change and improve your outlook or image can build confidence, and opens new possibilities rather than, undertaking larger, more daunting changes. For instance, I truly believe that making relatively small changes can transform your self-image and attitude just by changing your appearance, body, grooming and personal style. Such a minor, alteration can have a huge impact.

If you're feeling constantly restless, dissatisfied and envious of others, change your look sometimes a small haircut or changing wardrobe can also help. Change is not acceptable sometimes, it may elicit some curious comments from friends and co-workers and may be from family members, but mostly it's a change that is entirely within your control. First step needs lot of courage to take but once first step is taken it’s a AAHA moment for you.

Sometimes people hate what they wore, but couldn't see any other options. They feel insignificant, boring, wrong, out of place. They struggle for years but there is that one moment when they realize that time has come to take that first step. My exploration as an image consultant made me more aware of such stories and when I helped them to change their image, I can always see a NEW YOU. They become thousand times happier just with a primary change that I suggested.

I'm not saying that change will happen with a blink of an eye or it's the only answer or the perfect answer. I'm not telling you that switching from heels to flats will transform you into Michelle Obama or Oprah. I'm just saying that just take that first step. A small tweaking in your external appearance can, amazingly, inspire the courage you need to make more substantive changes. That something as simple as honing your personal style or changing a look or choosing a right colour pattern can, eventually, lead to actions and choices that will alleviate those nagging feelings of restlessness, dissatisfaction and envy. Investing time and energy in creating a style that makes you feel look good, confident and entirely yourself can only lead to good, good things.

Changing your style can change your life. Take it from me and see the world changing for you.
