Did you know that your clothes have a way of communication before you initiate conversation with anyone? The first impression that lasts for a very long time is about your personality, solidity, trustworthiness, reliability, confidence, dependability, integrity, character and credibility, and they are formed in a few milliseconds through your dressing, grooming, admonishment and body language, amenities and etiquette. The question is, ‘can you convey power through your overall presence and how you will convey it’. If you don’t pay attention to the way you dress, groom, or carry yourself and look less presentable, then others can read you as a careless or underconfident individual. While, mindful dressing, grooming and overall presence can help you create power, credibility and command. If you ask, what does it mean to convey power? To convey power is to command the room (or place where you visit like say Mandir) with your presence, establish your credibility and authority, and connect with others and inspire them. As you always say the college going girls like you and your dress including your dressing sense and talk to you regularly in Mandir premises. All of this can happen in mind of others within a few seconds as first impressions, followed by ‘lasting perception’ through consistent, professional dressing, grooming, body language, and etiquette! To create an impeccable presence that leaves its impact wherever you go, that will help you demonstrate the power.  Always opt for a tailored fit. Purchasing clothes like we do of the rake or buying ready-made garments, may be easy and less time consuming, but they are not made to fit the size and shape of your body (as your shoulders are slightly broad). They are made on standard scales and sizes which may not flatter your body. Instead, choose to get your clothes tailored to your size and body shape. It is appreciable that your  mom is your tailor who can alter your clothes according to your body size, shape. Good quality fabric and inner lining add to your power. 

Colours They play vital role in sending messages! They create subconscious effect on the viewer. Ever wondered, why bankers always wear blues? Because blue is the colour of trust! Different colours convey different significance. For example, I generally wear navy blue Color as it is the colour of trust and integrity – You can choose to wear a navy blue suits or powerful blue shirts under your dark colour suits. Charcoal, grey is the colour of strength, character collector and efficiency – This is a good option for team vision meetings, conveying difficult messages and even every day officewear. The rule of tops for ladies in any professional setting is to wear pastel shades, such as soft pink( which you always like, prefer and regularly wear) powder blue, lemon yellow ( your most favourite color) and the like because the lighter the colour( as I always say you, you look very pretty, extraordinary beautiful in light colours) the more formal it becomes! 

Accessorise professionally

The formal wear rule is to opt for dark coloured suits such as navy blue, charcoal grey. All dark colours can make your outfit a little boring. Hence, in order to enhance the overall look, you can add an attractive element or we call it the statement piece. The statement piece for you can be a coloured printed scarf matching your outfit or go contrast. A solid structured bag can also add to your well built and beautiful look. Matching shoes in colour and texture will make you more attractive, smart, sexy and beautiful. 

Self-awareness, 

You may wear a power suit and still not be able to convey power! This is because power is the function of the mind, if you don’t feel it you cannot demonstrate it. Hence, it is vital to seek help or create awareness of the ways you can feel powerful. Manage your body language.

Take your space, stand in a straight posture as you have broad shoulders, distribute equal weight on both your feet and keep the chin parallel to the ground and your hands by your side. Gentle eye contact with everyone you interact which is a game changer to building connection and influence. (You talking to college girls calling you Didi in Mandir). While you want to convey power, smiling( as you are conveying nowadays) a little with those college girls can also provide comfort and create space for those around you. 

Professional etiquette. Good manners and etiquette are the signs of a kind heart (which you have). They are the way to convey and receive respect. This is a reminder to use the three magical words, sorry, thank you and please, appreciate others through verbal communication.

 When you replace ‘lose’ with ‘learn’ the thought of failure becomes less daunting & lets you focus on growth. Let the failures in your life be your learning experiences. Avoid failures by analysing your perspective of such earlier occurrences. Further, make your experiences available to others so that alround failures can be minimised. A very important part of our lives is touching, heart warming each one we meet with our love and best wishes at every step. We all know what a good natured, complaisant, cheerful person is and that we should be one and give happiness, contentment, pleasure to everyone. We all also know that people all over the world, who are nice natured, benevolent, amiable, friendly, differ from the rest of the world & stand above everyone else. They are respected more and also they get the blessings, commendation grace of everyone much more. How often do we say, such a person is extremely kind hearted, is always giving care and support to all those whom h...

 When you exist in the beautiful state of gratitude, you become a person who only wants to gift. You become so grateful that it takes over your life, and you can’t find enough opportunities in a day to give. You give joy, you give happiness, you give money, you give appreciation, you give compliments, you give kindness, and the most important you give love. You give the best of yourself to your most loving lovable partner in your relationship. You will know when you have really found true gratitude, because you will become a giver. One who is truly grateful cannot be anything else. If you feel tense when you think of what you want, it is time to relax, relax, relax. Let your body relax your mind by allowing your body to floppy and as fluid as water. Every time you feel yourself starting to tense up, relax your body until you feel floppy again. The positive mind is always in harmony with itself, while the negative mind is always out of harmony, and thereby loses the greater part of ...
