In People Magazine this week, there is a brief article describing the transformation of Michelle Obama's hairstyle to give her more height and the appearance of wearing a crown.
I found this a strange coincidence because a colleague of mine, Sue Henry, is seeking out individuals for a study on the "Tiara" Experiment. Her basic premise is finding women to journal about their experiences imagining they go about their daily activities wearing a tiara. How would you feel about yourself? Would you feel more confident, powerful and self-assured in your decisions? Absolutely. You can read the full post on her blog: http://suehenryblog.typepad.com/ if you would like to join the experiment, there is a link on her site.
So, I thought I would give it a try myself. I figured it couldn't hurt. Singing at my church (I share lead singing with a male vocalist) this weekend, I envisioned myself wearing a tiara, and low and behold, I stood taller, more relaxed, calmer, more confident. I felt comfortable looking out at people during the songs (rather than "blocking them out"). And I felt my performance was improved significantly.
If only, we were still four years old, like my daughter and her friends, we might actually wear real tiaras and princess dresses around. This could really create change and more enjoyment for our inner spirit.
To be continued....
