What is expressing yourself?

Expressing yourself is defined as showing one's thoughts and feelings. However, it means much more than what it's defined as. Being able to fully express ourselves improves our mental health by allowing us to connect with our true selves, allowing us to become more balanced and happy on the inside. We can explore what sentiments and emotions lie within us rather than our outward self that we may be showing to the world when we actually express ourselves. Four general ways you can express yourself is acknowledging your emotions, writing about your feelings, verbalizing your feelings in a beneficial way and expressing yourself creatively.

In today's society a lot of the time it's hard to express yourself because of judgement and just being depicted differently. Society's depictions of what is and isn't right have influenced everyone in some way, shape, or form. It has the ability to either bring you down or raise you up. People strive to appear "beautiful" in the eyes of society, when true beauty is found within. Many people have poor self-esteem and negative self-images when they could be positive and confident because of society's perception of what is and isn't beautiful.

A lot of the time people express themselves through fashion because fashion has the ability to make us feel more empowered and in touch with our inner selves. If the things we wear and the way we show ourselves match our personality, identity, and mood, we can feel more confident. However, the majority of the time these fashion companies don’t provide an option for modest attire, plus size, diversity and so much more. This results in not being able to express yourself entirely.

This is why ModestGal Incorporated emphasizes expressing yourself. We want others to feel comfortable in their own skin and be able to express themselves entirely. We do this by offering modest clothing for all backgrounds and shapes. In addition, offering an option of diversity, plus size, and beyond much more. Not only do we offer these options but through an eco-friendly manner. We endeavor for young women to express themselves from within and not what society expresses.
