10 Tips for Looking Good Each Day

Some people think that looking good is about being perfectly groomed, as if from a glossy magazine. But some people look a little wild, quirky and dishevelled and yet something about them means they always look wonderful.

Here are tips for looking good each day:

- A ready smile and cheery disposition often feature high. Someone who's warm, friendly and enjoys life will radiate an inner glow and beauty.

- Be ready to say yes, be enthusiastic, join in and be willing to have a go. Attractive people often have a genuine interest in life. Have something in your diary to look forward to.

- Maintain a positive mindset by focusing on the good things that happen each day, even the small things like a stranger's smile, a compliment, the view from your window.

- Don't take things personally. Someone else's bad mood may be about stuff that's on their mind. Protect yourself from external stress.

- Look after yourself. Your health affects how you look. Exercise regularly, with breaks for nutritious food and water. Support good quality sleep; we all feel better when we've slept on a problem. Introduce positive habits; switch off your technology, allow time to relax before bed.

- Forgive yourself your shortcomings and mistakes. Value constructive criticism when a learning point's included. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would another person.

- Engage professional help to deal with any negative patterns of behaviour or issues you may have. A good counsellor or hypnotherapist can support you in becoming stronger and more confident.

- Accept help. Let friends, family or colleagues provide support, ideas and input. It may be appropriate to ask for help sometimes. Communicate regularly and invest time and attention in your relationships.

- Consider your appearance, the impression you give. We may have an everyday 'uniform' in order to dress quickly and look acceptable. Impartially assess your style. Do you need to refresh your image, your makeup? Visit a different hairdresser or barber so you're styled by a fresh pair of eyes.

- Do things that make you happy. Read a book, enjoy a hobby or interest. Listen to music or join a stimulating evening class. Things that make you happy help you to look better.

Looking good comes not just from being clean, tidy and well-groomed. It's also important to invest time and attention in your mental and emotional wellbeing too.

3 Ways to Positively Embrace the Power of Choice

Life consists of eternal transformation. As long as we live on this earth, we are constantly transforming. Perfection will never be obtained. However, we can achieve good health in our minds, bodies, and spirits. The way we can achieve those things is by the power of choice. God is truly present and all-powerful. However, God does not force His way. He provides influences that are natural; some may say overwhelming. At the end of the day, God still needs a 'yes' and that's a choice. With this great power, comes great responsibility (yes, I know that's a famous phrase that is overly used... sorry... LOL). Here are 3 ways to positively embrace the power of choice to help achieve good health:

1. Choose your body. The fact that we have areas like medical care, fitness facilities, hair salons, spas, farm-grown foods, showers, etc., means we should make choices that involves taking better care of our bodies. It's easy to neglect the body because life gets so busy! Sure, we take a quick shower so we don't have too badly of body odor or we'll grab some fast-food so our stomachs isn't too empty while at the parent-teacher meeting. But seriously, to properly care for our bodies, we should do better at eating healthier foods, exercising, practicing better hygiene, and more. Even the best dressed, well-groomed, or most athletic can improve.
2. Choose your mind. We just mentioned how life gets busy. That means our minds are constantly racing! Thinking about everything to anything. But for a healthier mind, we should choose simple processes and/or moments to slow down. I tell my husband all the time, I just need a day to not think! Mental exhaustion is REAL! Taking time for meditation, doing a favorite hobby, playing outside, or whatever is opposite of the normal, daily grind - Do it!
3. Choose your spirit. There is a higher power that controls all. As a Christian, that higher power is God. Acknowledging God and building a deeper relationship with Him improves our spiritual life. It creates a stronger level of hope, faith, and love. It even helps put certain areas of life into proper alignment. Meaning, it's easier to recognize what really matters. We recognize to appreciate more of life's simple pleasures and all that God has allowed for us.

Know the power behind #iChoose! I've starting sharing more with others about the power of choice. Every day we are present with so many opportunities to decide. Many people feel like they don't have a lot of options. But I feel when someone thinks they're limited it's because they've built those limitations. God does not limit us in a way that is negative. He gives individuals their uniqueness but even with that uniqueness, there are many opportunities. It's time we start using our power for making the world a better place! Choose this day to make decisions that will make a positive impact now and for the future!
