Make today your special occasion

I just finished watching a TEDx talk, Change your closet, Change your life.” (I posted it below for your viewing pleasure.)

It made me think about all the clothes I have that I have never worn. The pair of pants I bought for when I finally lost weight. The blouses I would wear once I finally went out. The shoes that I will wear for a special occasion. The good fragrances, the jewelry, and just like the speaker, my own special candle.

It made me think about the life I’ve been living. Why don’t I want to just seize the day? What is the point of accumulating stuff you will never use? I am going to challenge myself to wear or do something everyday for the next week that I have been putting off for a special day. Even it means I just wear lipstick around the house, I want to treat everyday that I wake up as a special occasion. I don’t want to keep putting off living my best life. This is going to be fun.
