Do you ever wake up & just not have the tenacity to deal with anyone or anything? You find yourself laying in bed, lacking energy & motivation but have a huge day ahead of you. Not even your coffee maker going off is getting you out of bed.
Honestly, it happens to all of us. We are only human after all!
The questions you should ask yourself when this mood creeps up on you are, "How am I going to handle this? Am I going to stay in bed, sleep a while longer, and take a day to recharge? (Which definitely needs to happen sometimes!) OR Am I going to get my shit together & deal with today because I need to?"
If your answer is the second, we have some tips for you on how to use your closet to take this drab morning & turn it into a fab day!
THROW ON THE OUTFIT THAT YOU ARE TOO AFRAID TO WEAR
Getting out of our comfort zones can be the healthiest thing for us to do. Like ever. Putting on a piece of clothing or an outfit that you love but aren't sure how others will react to can instantly boost your confidence. Throw on this outfit or piece, look yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself that you FEEL amazing, that LOOK amazing, and that today WILL BE amazing. Starting off any day like this will surely boost your confidence making your day better from the beginning.
WASH YOUR FACE & PUT ON YOUR VERSION OF A FULL FACE OF MAKEUP
Washing your face is probably the quickest way to feel fresh. It will wake you up & you can start your day with a fresh canvas & a fresh mind. When you're feeling down inside, putting your external self together can be just the fix. Feeling good on the outside can translate to our inner selves quicker than we think.
BREAK IN A NEW PAIR OF SHOES
Give yourself something else to think about. Like breaking in a new pair of shoes. It's never easy breaking in a new pair of shoes. There may be discomfort but it is rewarding & it is almost guaranteed to be less stressful than other parts of your day. Instead of stressing about what's coming up next during the day, you'll be ready to conquer it because you've already conquered breaking in your new shoes.
TRY ON YOUR ENTIRE CLOSET UNTIL YOU FEEL FABULOUS
Taking your mind off of your worries for a period of time can almost always help you. Taking an extra few minutes to find that perfect outfit can be the distraction that saves your day! (even if you do end up a few minutes late to work lol) Make sure you feel great and the rest of the day will be great.
Creating that healthy & positive outlook on a crummy day is all about balancing your inner self with your outer self. The two collaborate to create your beautiful self meaning you must take care of your person as a whole in order for everything to run like a well oiled machine.
So get out there, wear your confidence & get those compliments!
