Top Daily Lifestyle Habits And Mindset Rules That Makes A Woman Elegant

Today I'm sharing with you twelve daily habits and rituals of elegant American women.

What are the different perceptions of a Chic French woman and an Elegant American woman?

Neither one plays by the traditional rules of society and conformity.

However, each stylish pattern of behavior works for their unique culture and heritage.

Contrary to perceived notions, you don't have to live in France to know how to be elegant. Elegant women exist all around the world and in America.

'Non-French' women past and present;

Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, Jane Fonda, Angela Basset, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy Dandridge, Grace Kelly, Lucille Ball, Coco Chanel,  Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Halle Berry, Lauren Bacall, Charlene Princess of Monaco, Princess Ester Kamatari, , Iman, Sade Adu, Solange, Angela Bassett, Lisa Bonet, Thandie Newton, Viola Davis, Lupita Nyong'o, Teyonah Parris, Dakore Akande, Meghan Markle, Tamron Hall, Candace Jordan, Anita Baker, Nancy Wilson, Principal Ballerina Misty Copeland, Spa Owner Heidi Lamar, my Mother, and many, many others who demonstrates and exude a timeless elegance!

This is my list of elegant women and perhaps you have your own, I've added to this list but the list would be to long.

What stands out about an elegant American is that she knows how she will greet the morning and setting this intention has a huge impact on how she will step into the rest of her day.

Chic and elegant women are not afraid to wear colors that makes them look and feel good; monochrome is not the norm.

They move freely, boldly and confidently within the society they live.

Beginning your day with a few mindful moments helps you get up on the right side of the bed. ~ Shelly F. Harris

So many women blame how they feel, on external factors which tend to throw them off balance. When you commit to the art of living, you dictate how you want to feel on any given day.

When I made a choice to commit myself to this art as elegant women do; I no longer allowed my body and environment to dictate how I felt about myself.

Ensuring that how I felt was just as important as how I looked and presented myself in life. Having this understanding helped to improve my emotional wellbeing.

The meaning of chic and elegant:

~ chic - elegantly and stylishly fashionable, sophisticated, dressy, smart.

~ elegant - pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.

Habits are the foundation of a regular tendency or practice

If you could have daily habits that simply light you up every morning, what would it look like?

In order to age gracefully, your daily habits must follow a certain ritual that is the foundation to the way you move in the world around you.

Stylish and elegant women throughout history have all had daily habits which help them look pulled together.

How they great the day when they wake up

1- They start their day with intent -  This means that they wake up with a goal and a plan.

2- They are organized, conscious, purposeful, intent, mindful in whatever circumstances.

3- They know how to dress for any occasions even if they aren't working or are on a Zoom conference, and doesn't run errands in yoga pants.

4- They get their day started with mindful meditation to stay calm in all circumstances.

5- They know the importance of starting their daily rituals with a healthy energy packed breakfast.

6- They realize that movement, not a gym membership is an important part of aging well and gracefully.

7- They connect with people that nourish, uplift, relaxes them, and encourage them versus those who deplete them.

8- They know that relaxation is a daily habit to rejuvenate themselves when a spa is not always the answer.

9- They know that hydration before caffeine is a much better choice for their hormones since her body uses water overnight.

10- They check their schedule plan so they can be fully present at any moment with whomever.

11- They feel confident in being a chic woman that she doesn't have to diet but can enjoy life and different cuisines.

12 - They know that what makes them different is what makes them beautiful so they can empower other women!

Above all enjoying good flavorful food with taste and texture is a joy to life pleasures.

It's what the French call the "joie de vivre". Let me show you how to create daily habits so that you can commit to the art of living holistic and vibrant.

As a Culinary Nutrition and Wellness Coach, I understand food science from a dining, wine, health and travel perspective.

As a Healthy Living & Culinary Nutrition Coach, I am trained to look at someone’s wellness issues—stress issues—or weight gain issues “wholly” and organically.

Which entails both the need and benefit of viewing it from 3 separate and unique perspectives:

(1) your Genetic Health

(2) your Lifestyle Habits

(3) your Environmental Health.

By using this methodology; I’m able to see the full picture of where you are and how you want to feel.

I am almost age 50+ so my body is also a manifestation of years gone by; not of a young millennial or my former 20 or 30-year-old self. That means I have to constantly "practice what I preach"!

As a former professional Print Model and Image Stylist, I left a world where external beauty was the primary focus.

My goal now is to impart the knowledge of how to manifest the inner beauty of vibrant well-being and incorporating beneficial lifestyle changes.

Constant dieting is not part of a 'chic woman's 'A la Mode' since she's discovered how to eat with satisfying joy and moderation!

The #1 most important element in life is breathing, the 2nd is eating.

Reports show that you will have more than 70,000 meals in your lifetime.
