People use to think that certain personalities are lucky and are born with attractive personalities, while others are not.  Growing up, in the early years of our lives,  many of us encounter that the popular person is pleasant and cheerful, is thoughtful and considerate, is a good sport, interesting to talk to, has a sense of humour, has good manners , acts natural, is neat in appearance, or even good looking. Shy people might wish that they were more extroverted and spontaneous in initiating a conversation. Some hot-tempered friends we know might wish they could keep their cool in emotionally charged situations.  Image Credit: Unsplash by James Kovin Charming people exude confidence and perseverance, are articulate, with charisma, and more often hungry for new knowledge. They are also great listeners, and have cumulative qualities of ' The Image Factor '.  What is it about certain personalities that continue to inspire and attract others? As one evolves in their career, o

As we all know, Sunday is the vital day to be recharged and renew our energy for positive vibes to set the tone for the week ahead. As we are still facing the #stay-at-home mode,  staying inspired is something you have to work on a little. You can consider tuning in to a playlist during an easy Sunday afternoon, or evening to get rejuvenated and be inspired by what the world has to offer you. The music you tune in can change the way you feel, and see the world. If you need a little bit of motivation, tuning in to some of this music may help! Music is a powerful force. The right tune can make you stay focus, take action, or want to become a better version of yourself. Some songs have the power to unite people and some motivate us to see the BEAUTY in the world. -Refinement Society   1.

What about achieved and enjoyed with your family; your friends? And recently have you achieved and enjoyed something just for you? In the era of digital evolution and escalation of information overload through various social media channels, we are constantly bombarded with news, images, ideas, and opinions. Social distancing as a result of the global pandemic has heightened initiatives by media houses and brands with ongoing marketing and promotional information that our boxes are loaded with. Though most of us are working from home currently, it is not uncommon for us to often be required to multi-task as we juggle the needs of our private life, family, and work. Taking time out to relax and regroup o

  "Self Care is the main essential to manifesting anything in your LIFE..." Everything has changed. Now, things were normally taken for granted- an evening with friends, the daily commute, a plane flight home -are no longer the same. There is uncertainty about tomorrow; about the health and safety of families, friends, and loved ones; and about our ability to live the lives we love.  I think every one of us will forever remember this last quarter of 2020 as being a dark one, marked by mandatory isolation and brand new norms in the way we live, work, and play. Many had to deal with zoom frustrations and cabin fever, and the mandatory confinement made it very clear just how much we had taken things for granted until such a life catastrophe happened. We suddenly realized that we depended on being together. In view of major businesses and brands having been forced to close their transaction for more than three months, we wish to pay special homage to the Heal

You are wearing your thoughts like you wear clothes. Your thinking shows up on your face and in the way you act, in your body movement (or body language), gestures, facial expressions, and in your energy. You are projecting joy, success, confidence, and calmness or you are projecting low-esteem, low energy, failure, mental stress, poverty, and grumpy. People can see it and they can feel it in a heartbeat. They might react or they might respond, consciously and unconsciously, to the thoughts you project.  Your thinking shows up on your face and in your body language and in your energy.

What does the Image identity of the ' New Normal ' Look like? "We have normal. As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.."  -Robin Sharma   People and businesses are adapting to change. It is the 'New Normal'.  The 'New Normal' focuses on what's changed and it requires a new mindset. We have to be prepared for the surge in the emergence of the changed behavior and decorum. It has never been more important that you keep moving forward.... intentionally. Unprecedented times require change and continuous upskilling. It is essential to get reconnected with the important things in life even in greater ways.  Social Distancing has changed how we commonly interact.
