Psychologist Alla Rozhkova and stylist Daria Kanisheva held a workshop “Start Now: the first step towards a personal BREAKTHROUGH”. All details are in our material.
The first part of the workshop was devoted to the topic of self-confidence. Psychologist Alla Rozhkova told what influences confidence and how to increase your own self-esteem. How to rely on your own resource, and not on the opinions of others.
I wrote down the messages of Alla, which are worth paying attention to:
- Self-confidence is a skill.
- You need to write down 5 of your achievements per day (namely 5, because such a number gives us self-confidence).
- Write letters to yourself – re-read when it’s difficult or tired.
- Be in the moment and focus.
- Plan your life.
- Allow yourself to be wrong.
- Concentrate on solving the problem.
- Give the right to “no”.
- Correctly form your environment that will support you.
I also learned that there are physical, verbal, and non-verbal strokes:
- Physical stroking: simple touch, hugging, kissing, petting, holding hands, stroking/massaging.
- Verbal strokes: may refer to the person’s clothing, mental and creative abilities, generosity, creativity, sense of taste, leadership qualities, sense of tact, or other distinguishing features of a person.
- Effective stroking is a non-verbal form of recognition, such as listening with understanding or showing sympathy or love for someone.
During the event, those present had the opportunity to work out several exercises in practice.
Stylist Daria Kanisheva drew attention to the importance of the first impression. Shared how to achieve your goals with the help of details (at meetings, negotiations, and other important events). During the workshop, we sorted out the gaps in everyday and familiar looks, SMART wardrobe, and much more. Here are the main messages from the lecture:
- There are many trends, it is important to understand what is close to you in terms of attitude.
- The easiest way to introduce a trend is to choose a trendy accessory.
- The actual styling of the trend is important.
How to learn to choose things in which you will like to live:
- Soberly assess the strengths and weaknesses of their appearance.
- Listen to yourself to understand what clothes appeal to you.
- Understand what colors your facial features become more expressive.
- Conduct a personal lifestyle analysis (so you decide on the style that will prevail in your wardrobe).
It is important to ask yourself the following questions before upgrading things:
- What style is preferred?
- What impression do I want to make?
- What message do I put in my image?
- What should change in my life after I create my own style (sport, hobby, work, family)?
These are just the highlights of the workshop. I recommend that you definitely visit the masterclasses and lectures of the Preobrazharium educational platform, in which Alla Rozhkova and Daria Kanisheva spoke.
