 Hi, I’mWeston After providing over 15,000 hours in session and speaking, I recognize that… “You’re much stronger and more empowered than you think you are…” My Story Putting My Face On Why do we present, and wear, so many different faces when we only have one?

Putting my face on. If you’re a woman, you know exactly what this means. However, if you’re a man, you might not realize that “putting my face on” refers to applying makeup. Isn’t it fascinating that putting on a face is something we all do? Not necessarily makeup, but a face. Everyone wants to put their best face forward. The young want to appear mature; the old want to look young. We are obsessed with looking good. It’s obvious, but you might be too close to the situation to notice. Let me illustrate. Imagine you’re on vacation, out to dinner with family or friends. I’m your waiter, and someone hands me a phone, asking if I’ll take your picture. I gather everyone, compose the shot with attention to lighting and background, making sure everyone looks their best, and take the photo. Then I say, “I’ve got it,” and hand the camera back. What’s the first thing you do? You can’t help yourself. [02:24] Saving Face At The Car Wash You’re staring at yourself, checking if your eyes are open or closed, if there’s spinach stuck in your teeth, or if you look silly. Maybe you’re worried your neck looks like a turkey. The list goes on. It can be hard to see your inner uniqueness if you’re used to putting on a face. Let me share a personal story. Last Sunday, I asked my wife if I could take her car to get it washed. I thought it was a nice gesture, though I admit I’m obsessed with her car being clean. I took her car to the car wash—she has a membership—so I went into the “members only” lane. There were only a couple of cars ahead, and some behind. I’m familiar with her car, which has an automatic windshield wiper feature: when the windshield gets wet, the wipers come on automatically. [03:46] When Putting Your Face On Goes Bad I knew this, but I felt a bit nervous as I waited my turn as the next car to enter the car wash. I couldn’t quite remember how to turn off the automatic windshield wipers. The car wash attendant, clearly familiar with this feature, sprayed my windshield first. As soon as he did, my wipers, as I feared, automatically engaged. Instinctively, I put my foot on the brake —remember, we’re on a moving track— as I tried twisting and turning the right-hand knob to turn off the automatic wipers. The attendant kept spraying the windshield while I desperately fiddled with the controls, trying to stop the wipers. I felt stressed and anxious, but nothing worked. With no other option, the attendant pressed a red button to stop the car wash, setting off a loud buzzer that alerted everyone in the area that the car wash was down. [05:08] What’s the Real Problem? It was my fault. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a long line of cars behind me. I tried even harder to turn off the wipers, but with no luck. Finally, as I was about to enter the car wash, another attendant motioned for me to roll down my window and said, “Turn off your automatic windshield wipers.” I won’t repeat what I was thinking in that moment. I replied, “I’m trying, but I don’t know how!” as he continued spraying the windshield and the wipers kept going. Then he suggested I lift the lever up a notch. I did, and the problem was solved. Looking in the mirror, I saw the line was even longer. I was nervous but relieved the issue was fixed. The car wash alarm sounded again, letting everyone know the wash was about to start. [06:36] Trying to Save Face After the Incident As my car was pulled into the first stage of the car wash, I couldn’t believe how anxious I felt about causing such a commotion. I glanced in the rearview mirror again to see how many people were behind me, telling myself it didn’t matter what others thought. Hidden in the car wash, I was overwhelmed with embarrassment. When I reached the end, hearing the air blow-drying the car, I felt some relief and reminded myself ...
