Every so often I knit an item of clothing that fits, has the right yarn, and is the right color for my complexion. It’s wonderfully satisfying, especially since most wearable knitted things take a couple- few months to finish.
I donate most of the “not my look” items. One day I hope to see one in the wild!
Practicing what I call Micro Pleasantries helps me feel good about life. Can be as simple as complimenting someone on their awesome new shoes or giving up your seat on the bus (or allowing someone to merge) It makes me feel better and hopefully makes someone feel better , too.
