The Art of Living: Blog #3

Writer: Marinda AucampMarinda Aucamp

It’s time to S T E P O U T darling! Let’s go somewhere exciting?!


Whaaaatt? No?!

Do you hate dressing up? Oh it’s just so much work and effort ugh!!


I find that most women in SA and Namibia have a natural influence in their unique mix of style personalities. They L O V E comfort and practicality SO much. They prefer not to think too much about what they are wearing. BUT,

it’s not always just a question of personality though.


Sometimes it’s the effort of taking care of yourself. You wish someone else would do it...Since you were a little girl you wished that someone would just P L E A S E take care of you...


This might be your time. To care for yourself. Your time to step out. Step out of yourself! This simply means to MENTALLY detach yourself from what you think about yourself and what you worry about. Try this: Look at it from a distance as if your negative thoughts don’t belong to you. Write them down. Draw them. Evaluate them. Why do you think like this?


Renewing your thinking really means get a new thought. Replace the same old thought with a new one. Practice. It. Try it! Write down the new one. Draw it. Take a photo linked to the new thought. Make sure the new thought is in line with God’s Word. Otherwise it won’t last long.


Look at this amazing Scripture about stepping out: Psalm 37:23 The steps of the God-pursuing ones follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord and God delights in every step they take to follow Him.

You can read verses 24 and 25 as well. This is so encouraging to me!


You may fail. And that’s okay. Try again. And again. It takes T I M E to create a new brain pattern. It took YEARS to create your way of thinking and you are quite comfortable with it. You automatically think like that now.


I encourage you to be very brave and step outside that comfort zone. The one where you think you don’t look great, you’re not worth a lot, and there’s nothing special about you. The zone where you think your life’s not worth so much. Maybe you are a mistake. That zone has become a mental, emotional and spiritual prison.


Change. Your. Negative. Thoughts.


Step out!! Break free.

PS No dress code required 😉

STYLE TIP: Your hair and shoes MAKE or BREAK your look.

A funky or chic hairstyle and interesting or trendy shoes can do wonders for your look. Just saying 😁
