How To Use Intentional Design To Become And Be Slim!
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Kathleen Tumpane, ASID. Kathleen is a successful designer, author, coach, speaker and feng shui consultant. As a nutritional consultant and anti-aging specialist, I was fascinated with her approach to being slim as outlined in her book “Slim House Slim Body—How to use intentional design to become and be slim”. I would like to share some excerpts from one of the chapters in her book that I felt would be of value to most of us.
Kathleen says, “Your closet can block your weight and fitness goals. Many of us who have fluctuated between a range of sizes in the past, have a closet filled with clothes that do not fit, now.
What belongs in your closet are clothes you wear, which are ideally clothes that look and feel good. Anything else hurts you.”
Kathleen invites you to look into your closet, consider the following, and begin cleaning it out:
- Clothes in larger sizes make it ok to gain weight.
- Clothes in smaller sizes nag you.
- Only keep clothes you truly desire to wear again.
- Garments that you wore in a “former” life hold you to that former life.
- When your closet honors you, as you are now, you accept and love yourself more.”
“Slimming opportunities abound when your closet supports your slim and fit desires. Your closet may feel pretty empty when you are done. That’s okay. Afterall, the clothes that are left are the ones you actually wear. Even better, though, a slim closet support your slim intentions and makes way for a new slim wardrobe!”
In a future blog, I will be reviewing another chapter in Kathleen’s book, “Slim Refrigerator”. To learn more about Kathleen or to order her book, visit her online at www.slimhouseslimbody.blogspot.com.
