Pamper Yourself to Boost Your Mood

We all have mornings when we feel tired, stressed or just plain down. On those days, consider doing a few simple things to boost your spirits and pamper yourself. This will prevent you from getting caught in a downward emotional spiral.

Wear bold colors. Red is a great choice because it exudes power and energy. Even a multi-colored pattern that makes you feel good will work. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone; in fact “stepping out” is the point.

Maybe you think bright colors don’t flatter you. Well think again. Everyone can wear every color. It’s the shade of the color that matters.

If you wear makeup, choose blush, shadow and lipstick that add a little extra flare.

If you have the time, style your hair. Even a sassy ponytail can make a statement if you place it high on your head so it swings when you walk and flips when you turn your head.

Another way to wear color is to choose bright, stylish shoes that make you smile when you look down. It puts a little spring in your step. Or get a manicure, pedicure or polish change. All of this pampering will make you feel special. Today is about you and making yourself happy.

So, on those “blah” mornings when you’d rather pull the covers over you head than get out of bed, take a little extra time to look good. You’ll feel more empowered and uplifted and be reminded that you’re wonderful and you matter.
