Honor Yourself by Looking and Feeling Your Best!
Michele Benza
Did you vow to lose weight, exercise, eat healthy and spend less this New Year’s Eve? Perhaps you’ve already forgotten the resolutions or gotten off track.
No matter. It isn’t too late to begin again.

But first I have a question for you. When you made your resolutions, did you ask yourself if they were really what you wanted? Do you know the reason why you made these resolutions?
Remember, only you know what’s best for you.
Think of Your Resolutions as Achievable Goals
Here’s another question. Could you view your resolutions as achievable goals rather than resolutions? It’s important to be honest with yourself and set goals that are realistic and attainable. They should excite you so you’re motivated to follow through and have fun in the process of realizing them.
Or consider the message you send to those who care about you, when you’re demonstrating that you care about yourself. It’s both inspiring and comforting because they can see that you care enough about them… to take care of yourself.
How would it make you feel if you succeeded in “tweaking” facets of your appearance that you find problematic? What if you learned to love your wardrobe, your figure, your natural physical highlights, YOUR LIFE?
Consider These Goals to Help You…
Look and Feel Your Best!
Relying on my experience as a Personal Image Coach, I’ve put together a list of attainable goals/resolutions that you may want to consider. I hope that these ideas serve as an inspiration that it’s never too late to begin again. Choose 2 or 3 to incorporate into your daily living practices. And turn those burdensome New Year’s resoultions into goals that help you to look and feel your best!
1. Clean out your wardrobe and remove all the toxic elements and eyesores from your closet.
2. Remove an item from your closet each time you put a new one in it.
3. Honor your clothes and accessories by keeping them clean, in good repair, and stored properly.
4. Do not buy on impulse; instead shop with focus.
5. Buy only the best quality items you can afford.
6. Make sure your clothes fit properly, and if they don’t take them to be professionally altered.
7. Take excellent care of your skin using a cleanser, toner and moisturizer twice a day religiously.
8. Make the best of your appearance every day not only for you, but for others as well. Even when you’re having a bad hair day.
9. Schedule regular haircuts.
10. Improve your posture, walk tall and engage your abs.
The best way to stay on course is frequent self-monitoring. Print your goals, and tape the list on your bathroom mirror. Check it regularly.
Remember, you honor yourself and those you love by feeling good and looking the best you can. Appearance is not a magical gift. It is an ability that we can all learn and cultivate.
A la prochaine,
Michele
