Does Your Appearance Make a Difference?
Nov 18th
“It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearance.”
~Oscar Wilde
I was raised believing “smile, keep your up high and always put you best face on”. We are flooded with products to lose weight look younger and the new age of plastic surgery. It is constantly trying to improve what we think we are not, The other side is not caring, eating what you want and believing substance is the only thing that is important.
What if we take the middle and say yes the way we look is important but not everything. Neatness, healthy teeth, dressing well and paying attention to details absolutely make a difference. If you go into a corporation and you’re wearing jeans instead of a professional look it will make a difference. I believe when you are on the phone or working on your blog we have a different attitude when we feel and look attractive. We know we come across better when we are in the mood of lightness rather then in the mood of anger. Appearance is the non-verbal message that one sees first even through we may be writing or on the phone.
If you were selling your car or your home would you have it look the best it could so it would be attractive and appealing? Appearance is important as long as it isn’t your obsession but your tool to present yourself in the best of light. What does your appearance say about you? How do you want people to see you?
I suggest you begin to pay attention to the image you want to project. It’s okay to be conscious of your appearance and put your best foot forward. Ask yourself the question “How do I want to show up” What do I want my appearance to say about me? How do I feel when I look in the mirror and I love what I’m seeing? You can do that everyday just by paying attention to your appearance. It is the small details that make the difference.
Build Confidence And Positive Thinking
Oct 11th
Your state of mind is the key of thinking. Your confidence level becomes low by thinking negative thoughts or feelings. Utilize the power of positive thinking if you want to enjoy more self-confidence. To believe that you’re worthy of being confident is the most important step to being confident. Means, you should think positive. For this purpose, you require an entire change in your mindset until you’re truly happy with the person you’ve become. However, it’s well worth the effort, otherwise, it might not be easy, and it might not be a quick change.
Self-talk
Building confidence through positive thinking, self-talk is the best method for it. Lead to better self-image positive affirmations can replace negative thoughts in your mind. Whenever you do well at something, you must get in the habit of praising yourself, for trying something new or for any other behavior that you would like to encourage. You need to focus on self-talk until thinking positively about yourself becomes a habit.
To make a written list of your good qualities; it is a more visual form of positive self-talk. Take your time and write down every single positive thing about yourself consciously, from the aspects of your appearance you feel proudest of, to the activities you do excellent. After finishing your list, store it somewhere safe but easy to find. Whenever you feel down and defeated, simply pull out your list and replace the negative thoughts with your list of great qualities.
Creative visualization
Helping people to achieve their goals, creative visualization is a popular technique. In this idea, you repeatedly envision a desired outcome. It’s a form of focused daydreaming. You would want to see in your mind’s eye some action that exemplifies confidence for you, if you’re working to improve your self confidence. It would be giving a speech or being a butterfly at a social event. When you are visualizing, you should make some small movement, like touching two fingers together, in order to imprint the feeling that comes along with the vision. Later you can bring the desired feeling to the forefront by repeating the movement. It is the practice for the outcome you would like to see.
