Tweak: Daily Personal Grooming

Catherine — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:43:47 +0000

I have never in my life had a hair and makeup routine that stuck — 99% of the time I have worn no makeup and my hair has been wash and wear. This past weekend I took a few minutes to put on some makeup and straighten my hair (it was picture time). The difference was amazing. Why not show this face to the world every day? I have decided that making time for my makeup and hair styling every day will be my tweak this month.

Years ago during my dark times when I was depressed, I sometimes went days without even a shower. You may be in this place right now. When you’re not ready to face the world because you’ve let personal grooming go, it reinforces the isolated despair of depression.

You get to define what daily grooming means to you. Perhaps your goal when you implement this tweak is just to make sure that you hop in the shower or enjoy a bath every day. Maybe you want to take your personal presentation up a notch for personal and/or career reasons, and this means a more extensive grooming routine. You can revisit this tweak every now and then as you add something new to your grooming rituals.

When you choose the Personal Grooming tweak, you can also use the month to focus on other self-care you may have been putting off: a trip to the dentist, a new hairstyle or just a trim, for example. What about a spa treatment or, if the budget is tight, making time for some spa time at home? Treat yourself with love and care and enjoy it, because you are worth it!
