Unconventionality (February 5th) …
February 05 – Unconventionality: Challenge traditional “style” today by wearing something “outrageous” (e.g. color un-coordination, plaids with stripes with polka-dots, a tie with a t-shirt, etc.). Be creative and have fun. Be sure not to tell anyone that you are “dressing up”. Act – no, choose to believe – as though your outfit is completely acceptable, if not downright “stylish” … Note that this exercise is more powerful if you let your “weirdness” extend just barely beyond the line that society has drawn for “appropriate” dress.
Similar to the wisdom of February 3rd’s activity (Purpose-full nonconformity of movement), today’s task would have you actively remember how it feels to courageously challenge societal norms related to your appearance – specifically the “style” of clothes you wear.
Doing so does not demand that you “bare your Soul” (though that can be a powerful way to Love) …
… nor does it demand that you “expose your dark side” (which is always counter-productive to Peace),
… and it certainly does not encourage you to blindly ignore the very real social “norms” that surround you.
And yet, what it does calls for you to do is to let your true inclinations blossom into your appearance (and your behaviors) – to gently disregard what others wish for you, in order to gently allow your True Self to shine forth.
By regularly & consciously doing so, your brain will be steadily reprogrammed to adhere to the inclinations of your conscience over your reptile brain – to seek to give Love to others rather than to receive “love” from them.
See YOU when I see you …
… and until then, Be Now!
