I am often asked… How can I be more elegant?

The reality is that elegance is more than how you dress or move. I created The Elegant Tone to help The Elegance Community set the tone for the day (or week) so that we can all feel and be more elegant.

This week’s elegant tone is all about developing sensitivity.

Sensitivity is a tool to help us better understand ourselves and others. Some people may see sensitivity or ‘being sensitive’ as a weakness, but actually, it’s a strength.

So how can we lean into our sensitivity this week? 

Mindset
Everything is a growth opportunity. Being sensitive and having sensitivity to others will help us understand how our actions or the actions of others impact situations. This is important information, so lean into your sensitivity.

Take a step back
When something happens ask yourself? Can I offer some sensitivity here? Can I give some space to the situation? Can I allow for me to process this so that I’m able to react in the best way possible?

Put yourself in somebody else’s shoes 
Instead of reacting instinctually- try to think of it from another point of view other than your own. This gives you the opportunity to check your behavior or see things from another side and develop your empathy and find commonality.

Have you ever been told you are too sensitive? Are you feeling better about it now? How will you use sensitivity this week to become a strength and build your empathy and relationships?

Stay Elegant,
