The look good feel good theory
I don’t know a single person who feels great every day of their life. I don’t know anyone who enjoys getting up out of bed early on their day off. I don’t know anyone who feels like getting up at 5am, pulling the warm covers off their soon to be shivering body, puts their feet on the too-cold-for-my-liking floor and then smiles about it. I know I don’t.
So if you are like me and hate starting your day (above description sure sounds like a miserable way to start the day, eh?), then there is hope! I get up…because I have a job to go to. I love my job, and I love the facility that I work for. I do. But on theose cold mornings, I don’t want to get up out of my bed, let alone walk around the yard with the dog for 15 minutes while she picks her spot, and then have to brush off my car. But I do it, and I don’t go to work grumpy.
How is this possible? Simple. I have a theory….it’s the look good, feel good theory. You get up, and feel miserable……but if you pick out your clothes- putting a little effort into deciding what will make you look the best…..you’ll see this goes a long way. Pick out some lace to wear undreneath ladies….only you will know it’s there, but it creates a sexy feeling- that you can keep to yourself, or taunt your guy with during that lunchtime phone call. Put a lil makeup on, just enough to highlight your beauty….and then do something with your hair. Be sure to spray just a little bit of perfume on you as well. For me, that completes it.
If you put some effort into how you look- not to please anyone but you……you will find this goes a long way. You will start your day off looking good- and it does actually help you to feel good.
Now, I want to point out that I sometimes do this just to go to the store or even when I am staying home. Then if someone sees me at the store, I am looking good….and if I’m at home, and someone calls to see about going out for coffee or I feel like having someone over, I am all set.
Try it.
