In his book Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman emphasizes the importance of empathy for healthy relationships and emotional well-being. But what we sometimes forget is that empathy can (and should) also be applied to ourselves.
- How are you treating yourself?
- Are you compassionate with your body?
- Do you speak nicely to yourself, or do you criticize yourself in front of the mirror?
And even more so… do the clothes you wear help you feel good or make you feel limited?
Women often choose clothes based on how they should look, not how they feel. Leggings that show through, tops that are too tight, clothes that force their abdomen to stay taut all day... All of these send a message to the body: "You're not okay the way you are."
And that message becomes emotional tension , internal judgment, disconnection.
At Nawmaste, we don't just make women's activewear : we make self-care tools.
✨ Garments designed with the premise of: “How would it feel if this garment could hug you?”
✨ Our soft, supportive leggings , adaptive tops without rigid seams, and outfits that move with you are designed to support you, not correct you.
✨ Because your body is already enough. It just needs clothes that respect it, listen to it, and support it.
Empathy isn't just about understanding others. It's about letting go of demanding perfection and starting to show love in the most everyday things.
