The way that you look and feel can have a huge impact on your day. It affects your mood, your creativity, and productivity at work, as well as your relationships with colleagues, friends, and family. Of course, perfection is impossible. However, there are small steps you can take to help look and feel better every day. Sounds good, right? Read on to get all the details!
Start your day positively
Your morning is what sets up the rest of the day, so a positive routine can make a massive difference. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to get up super early, so don’t worry if you enjoy a lie-in! Quick actions such as drinking a full glass of water when you wake up, doing a five-minute meditation or breathing exercise, or listening to your favorite songs as you get dressed can put a spring in your step and help you start the day in a good mood. If you have the time, getting in a healthy breakfast or a short exercise session before heading to the office can also work wonders. For those who commute on public transport, use the time to read a good book, listen to an inspirational podcast, or do a crossword puzzle to get your brain cells in gear for the day ahead.
Take care of your health
Working on both your mental and physical health is key to looking and feeling fabulous. Exercise is one of the best ways to do so, whether you enjoy running, dance, yoga, martial arts, rock climbing, tennis, or anything in between. Try and do something active every single day, even if it’s just going for a walk around the block or doing a five-minute Pilates routine. You should also set aside time for conscious self-care, for example, by using a NuFACE Mini toning device, taking a long bath, drawing, or doing any other activities that leave you feeling calm and relaxed. Getting plenty of sleep every night is also vital if you want to feel fresh in the morning and keep your complexion bright and radiant. If this is something you struggle with, try wearing a sleep mask and avoiding caffeine and screen time late in the day. Sticking to a regular sleep schedule (even on weekends!) can also help.
Dress for confidence
The clothes you wear have a surprisingly big effect on not only how you look but how you feel. By choosing an outfit that suits you, fits well, and is appropriate for the day you have planned, you’ll automatically boost your confidence. You could also think about using color to your advantage. For example, red can make you feel more bold, yellow can be optimistic, blue can feel intellectual, and black can be glamorous and sophisticated. Of course, much of this depends on your personality, skin tone, culture, and personal preferences, so experiment a little and see how different colors and styles of the dress make you feel. Whatever you choose, quality is key. Well-made clothing that fits you perfectly will have you feeling fabulous no matter what!
