If you wanted to sell your house, would you clean it?
Would you repaint the baseboards and fix the leaky faucets?
I think you would.
You may even go as far as hiring a home stager to make your place more “sellable” and appealing to a wider group of people.
Now, would you list your 2 bedroom condo as a mansion with 8 bathrooms? NO! That would be lying.
And, THAT would be inauthentic!
It’s the same thing with your appearance. You can look your best and STILL be authentic. The two are not exclusive. You don’t have to pretend to be someone you are not!
People often confuse the two concepts.
Looking your best allows you to feel your best! … And act your best!
Something happens when we wear beautiful clothes: We stand taller, our chin goes up a bit and we smile more. We feel more confident!!
Who would not want that?
