252 I explain from the point of view of psychology.
One of my teachers always gave the impression of a stately and well-groomed woman. Long black hair with noble gray hair is arranged in a neat hairstyle, an ironed shirt, a long pencil skirt and elegant heels. She was never in a hurry, never raised her voice, had beautiful handwriting and the ideal posture of a real lady, informs Ukr.Media.
Once, I and other students came to the teacher without an invitation, with a surprise. We were amazed, but she looked no less elegant in her home clothes. No, it wasn't heels with a black jacket, but the clothes were neat and clean.
To be honest, I don't understand the habit of walking around the house in clothes that have been ripped from the main wardrobe, for example, a stained T-shirt, worn pants, stretched pajamas, old clothes of distant relatives. We spend even more time at home than at work. Are we not worthy of beautiful and comfortable things, specially bought for the home atmosphere of warmth and comfort?
As a child, I often carried things for my brothers and distant relatives, we did not live long. Some things were sewn endlessly, even socks! Many took it "for growth" and wore it for years. If the thing was completely unsuitable both for going out and for home, it was used in the garden.
According to feng shui, torn, old and dirty things attract bad luck. Such clothes are saturated with the energy of destruction, and therefore will not bring peace of mind to its owner. It is believed that such things become "energy" financial holes, where family well-being goes. But these are just superstitions.
From a psychological point of view, a person who wears torn or stitched clothes, even at home, may feel uncomfortable and insecure. These negative emotions have a destructive effect on us in a hidden mode, in the long run they can lead to apathy and even depression. We subconsciously look at ourselves in the mirror every time we pass by and evaluate whether we have changed for the better or for the worse today. Can you imagine if you always walk past the mirror in shapeless shorts and a T-shirt with stains? Well, psychological problems, accordingly, always lead to financial difficulties. The conclusion is absolutely clear: even home pajamas should be neat, clean and comfortable, replaced in a timely manner if the fabric has lost its former comfort.
It wasn't until recently that I began to change my thinking. I work from home, so I have some rituals in order to feel charged with positivity and energy for achievements. I know that it is quite a common tradition to walk around the house in a robe with a "nest" on the head, but this appearance makes people lazy. I definitely wash, do a short workout, comb my hair, put on clean, comfortable clothes for the home.
But it was not always like that. I, like many, wore faded t-shirts and robes bought 10 years ago, worn out house slippers of an indistinct color, stretched things. And what, no one sees anyway! My arguments were phrases: What if I spoil a good thing? I will regret the money spent and scold myself!
But one morning I woke up and said to myself: Why do I have to walk every day in such clothes for fear of spoiling something? These are just things. Why should I love things more than myself? Just some disrespect!
At such moments, you remember the parents who for decades kept a beautiful service behind the glass instead of drinking tea from it. Yes, no one sees us during home hours, but we always see ourselves. And imperceptibly for ourselves - we constantly evaluate.
And you know, a lot has changed! He noticed that he began to feel completely different, even to walk differently. Probably, I began to appreciate and love myself even more! I read in one book that inspiration does not come to untidy creators - and it is true here.
Not only my feeling of well-being has changed, but also my movements have become smooth and neat, I stopped snacking outside the kitchen, I maintain a graceful posture, I stopped working in bed with a laptop.
And the spots? These are just excuses to continue living untidy. Now I have an apron in the kitchen, and for dirty work, for example, cleaning or creating, I change into a set of clothes that I don't mind throwing away. But 90% of the time I spend in nice, comfortable clothes and in complete harmony with myself.
