Their buoyant natures radiate a light, youthful energy—wherever they go, no matter their age.

That’s why a Dressing Your Truth makeover differs from a normal fashion makeover. At Dressing Your Truth, we’re dedicated to bringing your true inner beauty to the surface.

Look at this week’s fun before and after. Can’t you see that beautiful sunshine that’s just unlocked in her makeover? Her look changes from okay to amazing… and I think she looks so light and fun in her After picture.

I give her the ultimate Type 1 compliment when I say this: she’s so cute!

What do you think of her makeover? Can’t you just see the sunshine?

Does your true inner self shine through in your outer appearance?

If it doesn’t yet, you can change that. The process is simple and so much fun!

A Dressing Your Truth makeover doesn’t just give you fashion skills. It first helps you get in touch with inner strengths and challenges you didn’t realize you had!

Once you know your Type of beauty, our easy-to-use online training system teaches you all the tools you need to make the connection between your inner and outer beauty. Bring out that inner sunshine with Dressing Your Truth!

You’re probably judging your natural tendencies as weaknesses!

Why Your Weaknesses Are Actually Strengths

All 4 Types in my Beauty Profiling system express a natural movement in their personality and behavior. If you honor those tendencies, they will become strengths. If you mismanage them, you might think of them as weaknesses.

I’ve invited the amazing women on my 4 Types Beauty Panel to share some great examples.

In this video, each woman on my panel talks about their own natural tendencies (that they once saw as weaknesses!)—and how they honored them as gifts and talents.

I bet you’ll relate to some of their challenges!

Marcy’s ideas will help you prioritize. Anne’s tip will help detail-oriented people get unstuck. Sarah’s advice adds some important perspective. And Sheryl’s perfect insight will help people who are precise. (Plus, you’ll love Marcy’s extra tip for anyone with a Type 3 spouse.)

Watch the video to see why your weaknesses might actually be your greatest strengths:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp-HC_HMN7Q

Thanks for watching!

Which tendencies are you learning to manage? Share a comment. (And before you do, make sure to watch the last minute of the video—we want every comment to be supportive!)

The women on my 4 Types Beauty Panel inspire me. They just don’t let their tendencies get the best of them anymore. I hope that you’ll aim for that same confidence and inner peace!

Start by saying this with me: I am a gift.

If you don’t know your Type yet, it’s easy to find out.

The more you know about your true nature and the nature of others, the more your understand yourself and forgo unnecessary judgment. Turn your weaknesses into strengths by discovering your Beauty Profile! Start here.

It is REALLY important to your wife that you’re truly listening and paying attention to her when you say you are.

Sounds easy enough, right? But there’s a catch:

Your wife knows when you are really paying attention and when you are not.

You might look like you’re listening. You might act like you’re listening. But your wife intuitively knows if you’re tuning her out!

So what do you do?

A man who is operating from his masculine core has a stronger tendency to only be able to tune into one thing at a time.

So when your wife wants to talk with you, you must decide if now is the best time to tune in to her. Ask yourself, “Can I give my wife 100% of my attention right now?”

If the answer is no, don’t just tune her out or tell her no! Lovingly tell your wife you want to give her all your attention—and determine a time (that same day!) that you will be available to do that.

For example, she might try to talk to you while you are watching a football game, working on a project, or reading the newspaper. If you are already involved in an activity that has your attention, lovingly tell her you want to give her 100% of your attention and decide together when that time will be.

This will make your wife happier than you know

When you have chosen to listen to your wife, give her ABSOLUTELY 100% OF YOUR ATTENTION.

Do nothing else but look at her and listen, really hearing what she is saying. You will be amazed by how much more quickly she wraps it up when you do this, because she knows she is being heard.

It is only when your attention is divided that your wife intuitively knows you are not hearing her, and she will demand more time to express herself. Try it out and see if you make your wife happy today.

May you and your wife hear and honor one another’s needs—and be happy together!

God Bless You,
Carol Tuttle

PS. Last week, I gave some advice to wives about how to help your husbands hear you. If you missed it, read it here: 3 Surprising Reasons Your Husband Doesn’t Listen to You.

PPS. If you want to better understand the nature of masculine and feminine energy in marriage, listen to my audio recording on Marital Bliss.

Here’s the story: Heather’s created a lot of really great things in her life, both personally and professionally. But…

…she’s a little scared that the good times won’t last. Do you ever worry about that?

Let the Good Times Last

You only sabotage yourself because of inner beliefs that don’t serve you.

In Heather’s case, things are going so well that they seem unbelievable to her. The fact that she can’t believe them tells me she’s buying into a core belief that might sabotage her success.

Watch the video to find out what that belief is—and see how Heather takes charge of it. Do the mini-healing exercise with us. And make your good times last!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK265fU69SQ

Now that you’ve watched that quick session, do you recognize places in your life where you sabotage yourself? You don’t have to anymore.

Like I said in the video, we love to be challenged, but we don’t need to struggle!

Stop Struggling and Start Thriving

Attract good things to your life! Here are a few affirmations to help you out. Come back to the affirmations in the video if you need more:

• Even though this feels unbelievable, I’m changing that and I’m believing it’s possible.
• Even though I haven’t believed I deserve this, I now choose that I do.
• I’m noticing any of my tendencies that might sabotage this. I can take care of them.

Here’s the big one to remember…

• It is so believable what’s happening to me!

Leave a comment with your own affirmation.

I hope you will stop any self sabotage in your life—and create an experience you enjoy!

Because I have a bunch of fun baby surprises to share with you today!

As you may know, my daughter, Anne, is expecting her first baby – my 3rd grandchild.

Her pregnancy so far has been fabulous. And like every pregnancy, it’s brought with it some exciting news. I can’t wait to share it with you here!

I’ll let Anne deliver the exciting news about her baby… AND someone else’s. Can you guess whose?

Plus, we’ll talk about which Energy Type Anne thinks her baby might be (true to her Type 2 nature, she’s thought about it a lot). And I’ll tell you something I’ve noticed something about Anne’s maternity clothes. Doesn’t she look great?
