m- One of the best tools to hack your motivation that isn't talked about enough...
I am a big fan of using outside influences to influence your mental state, whether its exercise to regulate emotions, changing your style to make you look and feel the part, or even something like "stories" that help show the power of resilience and life's ups and downs.
I am going to elaborate on : Changing your style to make you look and feel the part. I read this blog post and also have known many people in my workplace (S&P 100) that have gotten consultancy on creating their own personal brand (which includes their style) to reach senior positions.
**The key message is : Look the part and have your personal style reflect what you want to be perceived as/goals you want to reach. It will change how you feel and act. It will change the way people perceive you and respond to you.**
Studies show that first impressions are formed in just 33 to 100 milliseconds, making professional attire crucial in the workplace. The revelation that Steve Jobs had, that despite being one of the richest men, he wore the same outfit everyday. A black turtleneck, jeans and New Balance sneakers.
There is a concept called “Enclothed Cognition’ which says that the wearing certain clothes has a tangible affect on the wearer’'s psycology and performance. E.g. a study from Northwestern university shows that wearing a lab coat can improve performance vs not wearing one.
Depending on which industry you work in, you want to be conscious on how you are percieved and keep elevating your “look“ to match your desired role/career within your industry.
For example, let’s take a general corporate environment :
If you working in e.g. edia, marketing, communications or even business development, it can be helpful to be perceived as approachable by usin a softer color palette, with flowing lines.
If you are working in a corporate environment that is primarily make dominated and extremely formal, you may want to incorporate bold colors/statement dresses into whatever your style is. Blending in completely may not be the best option here as it stops you from creating your personal brand in a place where this is already difficult.
The key here is to create a personal brand people start to associate with you and keep evolving it in subtle ways!
This is why you need to plan and shop your wardrobe rather than buying one-off pieces or worse, not putting in any effort at all.
Hope this helps someone! DM me if you have more questions.
