Post-it Note #18

(This post-it note is part of a series on how to lead a simple life even more simply –  with pictures for those easily distracted by words.)

Today, I will wear my favorite shirt.

Nothing says CELEBRATE like when you look in the mirror see your bright face and say “I’m HOT!”

I own it.

So why then do we put the shirt back in the closet and save it for a different day?

A day when your hair looks better, your stomach’s flatter, your purse isn’t at the dry cleaners.

A day when you feel 100%.

How many days do you allow yourself to feel 100%?   Do you throw on a shirt, any old shirt, instead and just go with it?  Screw that.  Here’s a simple rule: “If the shirt ain’t a 10, throw it in the bin.”  Give it away.   Someone will rock it out.  You want to wear the shirt, not the shirt wear you.

Everyone’s seen the I heart NYC or I heart black guys or I heart soccer moms T-shirts.   Maybe you have one.   Return it.

Buy the one that says I heart ME.

The ME in big, fat, bold letters.

Don’t just put it on.  Rock it out.   Iron it if you must.

Style it to YOU.

Don’t think because you’re already at work it’s too late.

Take an early lunch break.   Leave.

If you’re boss says, “Where you going?”  Say:

“I’M GOING HOME TO PUT ON MY FAVORITE SHIRT.”

And keep walking.

You got business to do.

Today, celebrate YOURSELF.
