Do you allow yourself 7 minutes “me time” every day? Me time? I don’t have time for me time. I don’t need me time. These are a few random answers given to this question.
There is so much going on in our life’s. That we just forget to look after ourselves. All the other things in our life are so much more important. The kids, work, household, the garden, TV et cetera. Most of us are so occupied with that we just ignore ourselves. Ignore? Yes, dress without a second thought, comb ones hair and start the day. That is ignoring yourself. Did you know that ignorance can lead to unhappiness. Unhappiness can have many “side effects” like not knowing how beautiful you are, eating disorders, not wanting to look into the mirror because you don’t like what you see. Therefore “me time” even if we are so super busy is important.
Do you just throw some clothes on in the morning? Quickly brush your hair and rush to whatever you have to do? Would you like to change that? Then please keep reading.
First step. Get yourself a great haircut. Browse on the internet for inspiration. Ask your hairdresser what style would look good on you. What hairstyles do women around you have? You don’t have a hairdresser? Ask your friends or relatives which salon they go to. Once you’re at the salon tell the hairdresser (or should I say stylist) what kind of haircut you would like. Make sure you get a low maintenance haircut. A great haircut is just a start.
Second step. Now it’s time to declutter your closet. Get everything out and sort everything out. Make a pile of the clothes you would like to donate. Then sort all the skirts, trousers, jeans, t shirts, cardigans et cetera. Once this is done it is time to mix and match. For example, which skirt goes with what top(s) shirt(s). Make notes in your head or take pictures.
Third step. You already have a nice face. Yes, because everybody is beautiful in their own way! So why don’t we put on a little make-up. Make-up is a bonus to your face. First of all after your shower cleanse, tone and moisturize your face. Then apply some foundation, add some mascara and if you want to some eyeliner. Add some lipstick, lipgloss or lip balm and you are good to go. You really don’t need expensive skincare or make-up. You can buy your skincare or make-up at your local drugstore.
Fourth step. Do you always wear sneakers? Just because they are comfy and easy to wear. Why not buy a pair of nice comfy shoes. Maybe with a (little) heel or stylish flat shoes. Buy them when they are on sale and save money.
7 Minutes me time in the morning starts now:
- Hair and make-up 6 minutes
- Put on your clothes – 1 minute ( lay out your clothes the night before).
Now look in the mirror. Everybody can look pretty. Just allow yourself 7 minutes of me time!
You deserve me time, don’t you?
