The Ritual of Readiness: Why “Getting Dressed” Still Matters (Even When No One’s Watching)

You’re Not in Dress Rehearsal Anymore

We’ve built entire careers from our phones.
We launch programs from bed, hold client calls with top knots and ring lights, and juggle leadership with laundry. No commute. No cubicle. No one to impress.

So… what’s the point of getting dressed?

Here’s the truth I resisted for a long time:

When I don’t get dressed, I feel like I’m on standby.
Like my day hasn’t fully begun.
Like I’m playing at life instead of leading it.

I used to think it was just a productivity hack from my FlyLady days—put on shoes to tell your body it’s “go time.” But now I see it for what it really is:

✨ It’s a reclamation of identity.

As a Sigma woman, your energy is always running deep.
Your mind? Always processing.
And because your world rarely stops spinning, your needs tend to hover in the background—mute, minimized, waiting for “later.”

Getting dressed isn’t about impressing anyone.
It’s about activating yourself.

It’s energetic. Ritualistic.
It’s you sending a clear message to your nervous system:
“I’m here. I matter. Let’s begin.”

It shifts your posture. Sharpens your voice.
You move differently when you feel held by your own presence.

And no—this doesn’t mean contour and curls every morning.
This isn’t about performative glam.
This is about alignment.

You show up differently when your outside matches the version of you you know lives inside.

So yes—put on the earrings.
Spray the perfume you were saving.
Wear the lipstick just for you.

Because you’re not in dress rehearsal anymore.

Now, maybe you’re thinking:
“But what if I’m not going anywhere?”
“What if I just wanna sit in my Sneetch pajamas and sip Diet Vanilla Coke while checking email?”

And you can do that.
Of course you can.
But I want to ask you:

What if your body is waiting for a signal?
What if your higher self is watching you dress rehearsal your life—
Always waiting for the real moment to arrive?

I used to get so excited to shop for the cutest clothes.
I’d hunt down the perfect outfit, score the best deals, and then…
just let them sit in my closet.
Tags still on.
Waiting for “the right occasion.”
Waiting for a life that felt worth dressing up for.

But what if the occasion is you?

What if the reason to wear the nice thing, to do your hair, to slip on real shoes…
isn’t because anyone is watching—but because you are here?

This is what it means to live turned on. Activated.
Alive in your presence.

For the Sigma woman, it’s not about “looking the part”—
It’s about embodying the frequency.
