Now, let’s get started.
1. Slow Down & Take Your Time
If you are like me—someone who has so many things they want to do in life—you might say, “Mana, slow down?” Yes, slow down!
Being rushed or in a hurry is something we learned as we grew up. Nature and wild animals never rush.
Especially when you start your day, take a deep breath. If you tend to hurry to get things done, let’s slow down—even when walking, talking, writing, typing, or anything else. The more you slow down, the fewer mistakes you make, the less noise you create, and the more precise you become—all of which lead to more elegance in life.
Just by starting to believe and remember that we have plenty of time on this planet, it will lead you to a peaceful state and elegant feeling.
This is the secret behind haute couture as well. High Quality, Precision with beautiful details takes time. Every beautiful detail in a garment is the result of slowing down and taking time. —it’s a skill worth mastering! Let’s be more like a turtle.
2. Know What’s Important in Your Life
In this fast-paced, digital world, if you are not mindful, everything will grab your attention. However, just like in step 1, take time for yourself and focus only on what’s important in your life.
You can always ask yourself,
💭 What do I truly want in life?
💭 What kind of life do I dream of?
Focus only on what truly matters to you. In sewing, a design must come first—before the pattern, before the fabric. Life is the same. Know what you want and how you want to design your life. Then you can make a plan accordingly and bring your vision to life.
3. Trust That Life is Best & Perfect as It Is
Trusting yourself, the universe, God’s timing, or whatever you call it is a must-have mindset skill for an elegant life.
We all had faith when we were little, but just like rushing, we somehow learned not to trust ourselves—through school, culture, or society as we grew up. Now, it’s the perfect time to un-condition yourself and bring back your trust.
Trust you can do it, trust you can be it, trust everything that you love and desire.
An amazing example that I would love to share is that I had this design note and I realized that knowing that I will be making it one day, I made it.
When you trust life, you naturally feel at peace—and that’s true elegance.
4. Be Fully Present & Enjoy the Process
Life is about being in the present moment and enjoying the process as we make our vision into real. But how often do we truly experience it?
For example, when you eat, how often do you really connect with your meal and have deep conversations with loved ones? And of course, without touching your phone.
With digital tools, we are constantly thinking about the next thing. But always take a deep breath and just be in the present moment. Don’t dwell on the past or future—love what you are doing right now.
This is what makes life feel beautiful and elegant. Elegance is about truly savoring each moment.
For the sewing, of course, wearing the beautifully finished garment is a true pleasure but enjoying the sewing is the best feeling.
5. Practice Makes Perfect
The last step is to embrace the practice.
We all get good at anything with practice which is magical. Elegant mindset is also practice. Mastering any skill—whether it’s couturier, pâtissier, or anything else—comes with practice.
Whether it’s styling yourself, walking with poise, or speaking with elegance, everything improves with practice.
There’s beauty in dedicating yourself to something. Choose something you want to master and commit to practicing a little every day. Over time, it will become effortless.
What do you want to master in your life? Or what do you want to practice to be more beautiful and healthy? Let me know in the comments!
Bonus: Represent Your Best Self—Always
Even when you’re alone at home, dress up for yourself. Use your fine china. Wear your favorite outfit. Life is precious—it’s a one-time offer.
But elegance isn’t just about looks—it’s about how you feel. When you embody your best self, magic happens. The way you treat yourself sets the tone for everything else in life.
