Harvey Specter, from Suits, is pretty much a symbol of class and confidence for fans of the show. Girls love him. Guys admire him.
And all wonder: Where the fuck does all this confidence come from?
Well, as Harvey mentions countless times, and as the title of the show hints, Harvey values the way he and other people dress.
In his own words: "People respond to the way we dress."
No doubt, wearing a badass outfit makes for great first impressions. And as Harvey teaches us: "First impressions last."
👉But actually, it's really not only about the way you look.
See, if you're reading this, you might not feel like you're living up to your fullest potential. At times, you probably even wish to reinvent yourself. But don't know where to start.
Your clothes can help you bridge that gap.
Ever heard of the term totem?
It's basically a material object that allows you to shift into another mindset, to perform better than usual. Regardless of the way you feel right now.
The reason why clothes are so powerful as totems, is that we already associate them with a particular set of beliefs and personality traits.Â
Clothes can make you look like a completely different person. But more than that, they can sometimes make you feel like you're high on coke.
Give Meaning
A powerful and more productive way of using clothes as totems is to visualize your future self kicking ass!
What would that person be wearing?
How would they be acting, knowing they had full confidence in their ability to reach those goals?
You don't need to feel that confidence right now in your life, though. You just need to show up the way they would. And that's really all there is to it.
Going back to clothes
Can you remember the way you felt as a kid when you put on your batman, superman, or Wonderwoman costume?
Yeah, you probably felt invincible! And this psychological effect is scientifically demonstrated.
So from now on, before choosing which clothes to wear,
Imagine your future self as your own superhero,
Be conscientious about the way they dress.
Visualize your future self crushing it.
Embrace every goddamn part of your superhero self.
And Kick Ass! 😜
