Carrying Yourself with Class, Elegance and Sophistication
How to Carry Yourself with Class
Have you ever been in any of the following situations?
1. Where you saw someone facing a daunting or awkward situation or a particularly difficult person — and handled the situation in such sophisticated, elegant refine, suave and polished way to make you feel totally awed and wowed.
2. Or you have seen someone commit a mistake– yet came out of that blunder in flying colors — by maintaining perfect calm, cool and dignity
3. Or in some embarrassing situation /faux-pas — and this person was able to handle it so diplomatically, so as to not only impress you but also earn the admiration of others
I have been through many-many such situations — few forced upon me by the circumstances or other people + BUT + most brought on me by my own insecurities, anxieties and stressors.
And Having failed in most of these settings — and — in hindsight while reflecting, I could discover many better ways I could have handled the situations and persons, more effectively.
That is why, Whenever I come across someone handling an uncomfortable, unknown, uncertain scenarios — effectively and positively — I always wonder how the hell they have learned this art of remaining calm and composed.
All of these people exude class, style, elegance, sophistication, polished etiquette, grace and finesse.
Over a large period — I have also realized — that being elegant, is more about your internal hardware, software and the pulses than on any external tricks.
That is why finding the sustainable solution — too lies in working on your own thought-process, beliefs, attitudes, reaction vs response practices, learning to handle stress better and creating a mind-map to deal with the uncertainties in better, more positive and meaningful ways.
Unfortunately, many people fall upon the external elements to show elegance by blowing tons of cash in expensive apparels and accessories and or working on building a perfect hourglass figure or chiseled physique or have all the luxuries in the world to look classy.
Then there are those people who learn — the feel-good tricks. But these tricks vanish — the moment a hard nudge knocks them.
Classiness is about being refined, about carrying yourself with grace and doing things with panache.
It is about how you present Yourself, Your social etiquettes, Your values, Your Hobbies and Habits, Your Passions, Your Caring nature, Your Helping attitude, Your accomplishments.
All these go on to add to Your Swish & Your Swag.
Understand that Elegance is a state of mind, period.
