As we get celebrating bringing in the new year of 2008, I ask you a very important question: Do you need an image update? Do you have a vision in your mind of what you would like your ideal image to look like? If not, create that ideal image through visualization. Start by creating a picture in your mind. This will create an emotional awakening and start you thinking about taking the first step to creating the best version of yourself for the new year.

When you imagine a more stylish self, it’s refreshing how your motivation and inspiration will begin to inspire you to talk to your inner self. Your intuition will be your guide and tell you when it’s time for you to invest in making some positive changes. The image update journey can be one of the most powerful experiences to exploring your real inner self and style. I always tell my clients that image transformation is a process, not an event. It doesn’t happen in thirty minutes like on TV. People have to enjoy all the positive changes they are making and accept themselves for their own beauty. Enjoy the body you are in today, not the one you had 10 years ago. Celebrate yourself and learn to be accepting of who you have become.

Don’t allow your fears to overpower you. Fear and the busyness of your life are all obstacles that you will need to confront to create that stylish image you envision in your mind. When you achieve an updated and chic look, I know you will feel more confident, happy and be able to build stronger relationships in your personal and professional life. There is nothing more important than your personal image and self-worth!

Follow these steps to exploring if you are in need of an image upgrade in order to achieve your image vision:

1). Get very clear about your new image. Do you need a new, updated haircut, or perhaps a more stylish wardrobe that is age-appropriate? Visualize everything you want from head to toe,

2). Ask your family, friends and co-workers who support you to give you some honest, constructive feedback on your visual appearance. Be sure not to take things personally or react defensively. Listen to their advice. They are your support group, assisting you through this process.

3). Go through some magazines and cut a few photographs out that you feel best describe your new updated image. Select items and looks that you love. As they say, a photograph is worth a thousand words, and this is a way to ignite your inner self to lead you to the styles, silhouettes and the overall look you wish to achieve.

4). Everyday, try to think of one thing you would like to streamline or update in your appearance: a simplified make-up routine, an easy chic new hairstyle, or ways to add a few trends into your classic wardrobe to look more updated.

5). Seek out the experts. You don’t have to make the journey alone. Image consultants can help you identify and accentuate your attributes and work with you to develop your unique style from the inside out. Oftentimes women are very critical about their appearance. An image consultant coaches you in a positive manner to learn the tools of looking your absolute best! We can work with clients one-on-one or virtually through the computer, with telephone coaching.

Sometimes it is difficult to really know when you are ready to begin the process of developing a better you, to realize your goals and dreams in life versus remaining in your safe, unchanging environment.

It is important to follow these steps to create the image you envision, and to achieve the life goals and dreams that you deserve. Invest in yourself - you are worth it.
