Some people think that looking good is about being perfectly groomed, wearing the latest fashions, and looking like you’ve just stepped out of the pages of a fabulous magazine. But there are a lot of people who don’t meet any of those criteria, who can even look a bit wild, quirky, and unkempt at times and yet something about them means that they always look great.
What does it take to look good, what is the best way to look good every day?
– The top of many people’s attractive list is a ready smile and a cheerful disposition. Someone who is warm, friendly and enjoys life generates a glow and an inner glow that illuminates everything and everyone around him.
– Be someone who is willing to say yes, who is enthusiastic, joins in and is willing to give it a try. Most of the time, people who seize opportunities will look good because that mindset breeds commitment and a willingness to live life to the fullest. Attractive people often have a genuine interest in life and what it brings.
– Begin to develop good habits and maintain a positive mindset. focusing on the good things that happen every day, even the little things like a stranger’s smile, a compliment, a thoughtful gesture, the view from your window. When you begin to treasure the good things in life, the resulting happier outlook will help you to look better every day.
– Learn not to take things personally. Another person’s bad mood or an unwarranted outburst may be because they have a situation of their own that they must solve. Reflect on what happened, try to step back a bit, and decide how to respond. When you break up, you can determine how to proceed next, as well as deal with how you want to feel afterward.
– Beware. Good health is an important factor in looking good. Exercise regularly and follow a healthy regimen, with good food breaks and plenty of water. The importance of sleep is often underestimated, but respect that sleep quality is a key part of processing the day’s activities. We often feel better, we have a more positive outlook on life when we “sleep.” Many people work long hours and hope to regain sleep on weekends or holidays, but they try to introduce good habits; turn off your tech and commit to relaxing a couple of hours before bed. Relax, get a good night’s sleep, and invest in looking good every day.
– Be kind to yourself. Forgive their flaws and mistakes. Yes, there may be problems and situations that need to be resolved, things that are messy, that cause stress. Try to deal with them quickly; It is usually less stressful than you imagined. Value constructive criticism. Decide if what has been said is valid, a learning point that you could benefit from. Treat yourself with the same compassion that you would treat someone else, then give yourself credit for your gentler approach.
– Don’t underestimate the role of professional help by dealing with your ‘demons’, negative behavior patterns, or whatever problems you may have. Use a good counselor or hypnotherapist and support yourself to become stronger and more confident. Reacting poorly to stress, situations, and other people can become a habit, and sometimes we need help to change that and learn to cope better.
– Accept help. Let your friends, family, or colleagues be supportive and kind with their ideas and input. You may even need to ask for help at times, suggest things you need to make your life easier, especially if you have always been independent. But mutual support can improve relationships, spark new ideas, and forge important bonds and bonds. Communicate regularly and invest time and attention in your special relationships. Welcome the closeness and feel part of your team.
– Some people find that they are always in a hurry in the mornings. They have so much to cram in the first hour of each day that they are already exhausted and in a bad mood by the time they get to work. Going better earlier can allow you to get up earlier, in time to start your day off right. You could do some stretching, 30 minutes of yoga, maybe get off the bus a stop early and walk part of the way. Then you can take some time and have a drink, perhaps a breakfast, and start the day in a more relaxed and positive frame of mind, looking better as a result.
– Reflect on how your appearance, the impression you give, the image you portray. Many of us adopt an everyday ‘uniform’ to get dressed quickly, fit in with our colleagues, and get on with our lives. We may buy new items intermittently, but answer honestly, if you really look at yourself, would you say ‘wow, not bad’ or ‘maybe you could use a makeover’! Try to evaluate your style impartially. Maybe take a selfie. Are you a bit old-fashioned, do you need to refresh your image or modify your look to better suit your current lifestyle? Makeup can also be a factor; Many women wear the same style for years, however most department stores employ makeup consultants who are happy to give you tips on updating your image. Visit a different hairdresser or barber and benefit from being styled by a fresh pair of eyes.
– Schedule some fun. Some times of the year can seem bleaker than others. If you’re short on cash, lonely, or overwhelmed with commitments, it can seem like there are few opportunities for fun anytime soon. Plan a meeting, maybe once every few weeks, where you invite friends, neighbors, colleagues to catch up. It could be a night of card games or soccer, a dinner where everyone brings a bottle or a plate, or even a local concert or dance. Money doesn’t have to be a big part of the fun. Having people around for coffee or a walk together can help you feel more positive, sociable, and inject some sociability into your life. And having something in your journal to look forward to can really lift your spirits.
– Do things that make you feel happy. Even if you only have a little free time, try to make sure you find a corner in your day where you can read a book or indulge in a hobby or special interest. Maybe go to bed a little earlier and spend time listening to music or finding a stimulating evening class. When you find time for the things that make you happy, you will find that you look better as a result.
Looking good doesn’t just come from being clean, neat, and well-groomed. It is also important to invest time and attention in our mental and emotional well-being.
