Express yourself...

Express yourself...

before you can't anymore.

Express yourself through clothing

One of my favorite things to do is people watch. Most times I feel like an observant witness, especially coming to another country, learning a new language, and of course, the culture in general, but I love to see how people interact and move through the world. And, of course, I love how people show their personality through their style. I have always felt that clothing is one of the biggest ways we get to express ourselves on a daily basis. It makes me smile to see all the different ways that people use clothing to 'show' who they are. Even though there is always more that meets the eye, the way a person represents themselves to the world does say many things. Since most of us are blessed with the gift of sight, many judgements are based on the way you look. (Even though I am a huge proponent of being nonjudgemental.) But before anything actually comes out of your mouth, your appearance does speak volumes to the people who see you. So why not make sure that you are always representing your best self to the world? The God|dess Collection can make you feel confident everyday by helping you just be yourself and transform your clothing into how you feel, based on who you're with, and where you are. Taking you from day to night or on a flight. What are you saying through your clothes today?

Express yourself through communication

Did you know that 70% of communication is misunderstood? Even when you think you are clear about something, we are also projecting and reflecting onto others. Every relationship provides a mirror for us to learn about ourselves, grow, and hopefully, heal. But how do we do this when most of our conversations are being miscommunicated or misinterpreted? Why is it that we have such a hard time talking about feelings?! Well, for starters, many of us were not taught. We were told to suppress our feelings, to not express them, therefore, this is another practice. We can practice communicating in a safe space, where we can all be seen and heard. This is also a reason that people who are even sitting next to one another end up yelling, because they do not feel heard by the other party. If you or someone you know is struggling with communicating your feelings, please consider working with me long term. For those who have families, consider investing in the Family Plan, where I commit a year of service to you and your family, where you can rotate sessions based on who needs it, or even come together to share and learn together. Communication is the key in any relationship. And we often find ourselves in situations because we could not just have a simple conversation about it. Now is the time to realize that you can express yourself completely, authentically, and without fear of judgement or shame. Speaking your truth allows others to do the same...

Intimate Conversations with Lady Kendra

Join me every Monday at 21 CET on Instagram Live as I talk about life and such. This is my way to have a conversation with the world about some subjects that may be taboo or touchy. For me, there is no such thing. Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. This week I talked about expression and next week I will discuss moments. Be a part of the conversation in person from 19-21 at The Art of Style and follow the journey @kendraleonard... Indulge in yourself.

Mindfulness & Movement

I also invite you to join me every Wednesday morning from 10-11 am as I share my mediation and yoga practice with the community. This is a safe space where all are welcome. No experience is required. For March, the focus is on the solar plexus, which is directly linked to your sense of self. This energy center is associated with your self-esteem, sense of purpose, personal identity, individual will, digestion, and metabolism. This chakra acts as the body’s energy powerhouse. When spinning properly, the solar plexus chakra allows energy to flow, but if it becomes blocked or clogged, you may find yourself feeling powerless, stagnant, or quick to anger. When it is out of alignment, digestive issues can arise. But when the solar plexus chakra is in healthy alignment, you will be comfortable with your own inherent power and become more empowered. You will have a sense of who you are and why you are here. When you connect with your purpose, you gain a deeper understanding of how you as an individual can contribute to the collective in a beneficial way. This is the Age of Aquarius after all -be an authentic individual, and show up for your community. You will let go of the things—whether it’s your job or bank account balance—that you depend on to define who you are. Those things may have value, but overvaluing anything that subject to change is a quick road to suffering. You have inherent value; take the time through practice to investigate it, and you will be less dependent on external sources of happiness. Come with an open heart and mind, and feel your body unwind. Love yourself.
