Top 3 Tips for Looking and Feeling Your Best
When it comes to looking your best, you may be under the impression that you have to splurge on salon services, gym fees and top-dollar beauty products. The truth is, to look your best, you must feel your best, including how you dress. While this might sound like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, it’s true. According to one study cited by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, people with high self-esteem were perceived as confident in their dating profiles. This, in turn, increased their overall romantic attractiveness.
Regardless of your reasons for wanting to look your best, the bottom line is that attractiveness comes from within. So, how can you boost your inner appeal so that it shines through to others? Here are three powerful suggestions from Taza Leather.
Get Moving
You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again—exercise is one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental health and overall well-being. In terms of your physical appearance, exercise can help you lose weight, tone your muscles and improve the appearance of your skin.
In terms of mental health, working out can help boost your mood, manage stress and reduce your risk of depression and anxiety. This is due to the release of endorphins during a workout. Exercise can also improve sleep quality, which is good for your mental health and your complexion, sharpen your thinking, learning and judgment skills and improve your libido.
Be Mindful of What You Eat
You probably know by now that food affects your body, but are you aware of to what extent? Not only can the food you eat influence your physical appearance, right down to your skin complexion, but also, it can affect your mood. Though the results are still out on the subject, as the connection between mood and food is relatively new, findings suggest that the foods you consume can affect your attention span, concentration, decision-making and reaction times.
Several studies also prove that whole and natural foods can provide you with sustained energy, while processed foods rob you of energy. Finally, a poor diet may not only aggravate but actually cause stress and depression. Sugar and processed foods cause inflammation in the body and brain, which can result in mood disorders, including stress, depression and anxiety.
The bottom line is if you want to feel better and look better, eat for success. Spoon University provides an overview of what a healthy diet looks like, which you can use for guidance.
Do Something for You
If you’re like many people, the number of hours you set aside for “me time” each week is dismal, if it even exists at all. Yet, even if you struggle to find time to comb your hair let alone do something you enjoy, it’s imperative that you work to do so. Self-care—whether it comes in the form of meditating, reading a book or quite literally stopping to smell the roses—can reduce or eliminate anxiety and stress and increase overall happiness.
One method of self-care that can immediately change the way you feel about yourself is by changing your look with new clothes and accessories. Take an opportunity to treat yourself to new blouses, a comfortable dress, stylish trousers, or even a chic alligator wallet from Taza Leather. Everyone feels better when they are debuting a new personal style.
Looking and feeling your best doesn’t require a lot of effort or money. It simply requires a few shifts in your day-to-day routine and a bit of willpower. Use these three guidelines to begin or renew your journey today.
