Watching this, I realize I might relate to more down words than I thought 😮

Very clarifying. I have been wondering about how up I need to be up. Living in small hippie village in the Swedish countryside I dont need to add a lot of effort to stand out. If I lived in a city my style would probably be a lot amped up. Thank you Rita!❤

I’m loving these shorter videos. Re-enforcing what we already know. It’s good to get a gentle reminder. 🙏🏻💖

Thank you so much! Just as with the Right/Left Essence Keywords this is an immensely helpful video. I thought up/down referred more to a vibe and a strategy rather than an essence, so that's interesting! I realized that as a sweetheart I use ease as a parameter all the time. If its not comfortable it needs to go. I feel often that tops restrict me and that pants pull me down. Its a delicate balance of clothing sitting just right. So much food for thought with the other keywords, thank you again!

Omg u just introduced me to a whole new world. This is brilliant thank u

Love the short video and the concept really hit home! Super useful! ❤

This video helps a lot! I saw a clear difference

Thank you for this!! 😄🥰 I think I've finally figured out whether I'm LU or LD: LD, wildflower leaning seductress and even a bit of outsider. I had thought I was more lady heretic but now I don't think that is true. I don't have enough LU qualities to be in the Amethyst quadrant. Zero drama, too much effort looks overdone on me, and I'm zero intimidation vibe-wise. I wish I could do the persona thing but not sure how because I really want to be authentic. The upper part of the LU quadrant leaning into LU works best because I disappear if things are too minimal, do better with a bit of glamour, yet can't carry too much LU extravagance or it looks off, like I am really overdoing it. It's a fine balance! Many of my girlfriends have waaaay more 'UP' qualities than me. can't really relate to that one. Often, I wish I seemed intimidating like my 'dragon lady' 😂LU friends. But I am approachable enough, even strangers just come boundary crashing in, and have my whole life. And that feels very unsafe. I'm otherwise a brave person but it is very stressy to have people come tromping over one's boundaries! This is part of why I dislike feeling seen, which is a heck of a dilemma for a musician! 😅 Anyway, thank you Rita! You're awesome. :)

Oh my, I finally catched up with this mini series. I have so much keywords in the up part I'm dying 😂

Brilliant!

Thank you

This is so helpful in understanding more about the keywords! Can multiple keywords within a quadrant apply to one individual?

This confirms that I'm LD😊

hmm, i was extremely relating to down with the first couple words, but “approachable” is one i struggle with. i don’t particularly enjoy coming off as approachable or easily accessible at all, and i feel like i do very much use clothing as a shield of sorts (for example, wearing mostly oversized clothing and dark colors, never anything eye-catching or too unique) and i like to think that i strive for a bit of a mysterious vibe. but maybe i’m kidding myself and my mostly casual, laidback style of dressing makes me seem approachable whether i like it or not? 😅 i mean, i know i definitely don’t seem too intimidating to most people (based on their reactions) but i’m not sure if there’s a sense of approachability about me either? although in high school i once overheard a couple girls talking about me and one suspected that i had “attitude issues.” i did not actually have attitude issues in the slightest, i was actually just very shy and nervous (had severe social anxiety) but my resting face combined with me not being at all talkative i guess, came off in a somewhat negative way. at the same time, often random people would come up to me and try to start a conversation. so maybe i have both approachability and intimidation to a certain degree? 🤔 just rambling lol. overall i probably belong in the down category as extravagance, drama, high effort etc are absolutely not something incorporated into my looks at all and i do feel very clownish and overdone if i do too much, i especially related to the jewelry and makeup thing- whenever i’ve experimented with makeup or heavy jewelry i end up taking it off very quick because it just feels odd and incongruent and like i just don’t “need” it. anyways, much to think about. thanks for the informative video!

I think I have up essence but I have been trained or chosen to wear down so that people like me and I don't feel lonely.

Is it possible to be just down and not necessarily left or right? Im new to this so it may be a daft question. I definitely put my wardrobe together in a left.down way (I think) it's all from emotion,whether i want to use my clothes to stand out or hide away for example. But the right down key words from one of the original videos really stood out to me. I seem to have elements of left and right down in my whole essence

❤👏👏👏👏

I think I lean down. As much as I like the dramatic and edgy styles in theory, I often end up going for something softer and lighter, since I prefer to feel approachable over mysterious. I do have a more extravagant "what are you doing and why?" side, since the aesthetics I'm drawn to are not a common sight where I live, but in the end, the fact is my preference is heavily based on how I just can't stand denim fabric sometimes 😂

love that lippy on you
