Dear Gen Zs,
Sometimes, I sit and maybe stand and stare at myself in the mirror, and the comparisons begin. Why am I not similar to this person? Why don’t I act this way? Why this? Why that? The idea of perfection
It’s strange. Meanwhile, someone somewhere is comparing themselves to me and saying, Wow! Another person somewhere is comparing my humble self to another third party, wondering why we are not alike, and hailing our similarities.
This brings me to my great theory of why this is. The theory of being well put together
It is simply being organised, methodical, and precise while being unique to yourself. It’s self-respect. Your poise, charisma, carriage, and how you present yourself basically. It is something I strive for. A thought on what life should be in ideal conditions.
So, why is being well put together important?
First Impressions: Being well put together can make a big difference in personal and professional relationships.
Confidence: When you feel put together, you tend to be more confident. Confidence can take you a long way in various aspects of life.
Professional Success: In your career, appearing organized and put together can help you stand out, especially in competitive industries. It can give the impression that you're reliable and capable.
So, how do you achieve this "well-put togetherness" in different aspects of life?
Personal Appearance: Dressing neatly and appropriately for different occasions is a great start. Find a style that suits you and makes you feel confident. Good grooming and hygiene are also essential.
Diet: Maintain a balanced diet that suits your health needs. It's not about being super strict, but about making sure you're nourishing your body properly.
Work and Career: In your professional life, being organized, meeting deadlines, and communicating effectively are crucial. It's also about having a clear vision of your goals and a plan to achieve them.
Life Balance: Balance is key. Take time for self-care, maintain good mental and physical health, and ensure you have a healthy work-life balance.
Authenticity: Remember that "well put togetherness" doesn't mean you have to fit a mould. It's about being the best version of yourself. Stay true to your values and beliefs while striving for personal growth and improvement.
In essence, it's about embracing your uniqueness, being respectful of yourself, and presenting yourself in a way that aligns with your values and goals. It's a journey of self-discovery and continuous improvement, and as Gen Z, you have the resources and mindset to make it happen.
It's not about being perfect or telling everyone to chill and not strive for excellence. It's more like understanding that we're all on different paths, and that's what makes life interesting.
So, don't be too hard on yourself. You're probably someone's inspiration, just as others inspire you in their own way. Embrace your uniqueness and keep doing your thing, because it's the diversity of our experiences that makes this world so intriguing.
