Always Look and Feel Your Best With These Tips.

Life is busy and demanding, and even the most accomplished woman sometimes experiences feelings of doubt, worry and fear in her personal and professional life. So how can we get back our confidence, and feel our best both in our minds and our bodies? Here are some tips from Cushy Scents that can help us get there:

Find Time for Friendships

Spending time with friends and loved ones is a wonderful way to relieve stress. When you can confide in someone and share your troubles, you’ll find that having a trusted person who listens to you, gives you advice, and lets you bounce ideas off them helps you feel more confident about yourself and your ability to face the world. But remember that nurturing friendships takes time, so make sure to leave enough space on your calendar for coffee, a jog, or a trip to the mall with your besties. Friendship should also be a two-way street, so as your close friends let you vent about your job or your kids, make sure you return the favour and give them the space to share what’s burdening them with you.

Declutter

Though it may not seem like it, the physical act of decluttering can have a profound effect on your mental health. For many people, living in a cluttered and disorganised space can be incredibly stressful. It can lead to feelings of negativity, anxiety, and depression, as well as difficulty concentrating and sleeping. Decluttering can help to reduce these symptoms by creating a calmer and more orderly environment. It can also boost your self-esteem and sense of achievement, as you accomplish the task of organising your space. In addition, decluttering can give you a sense of control over your life and your environment, which can be very empowering.

Take Care of Your Skin

Your skin is your largest organ. It both protects you from and presents you to the outside world. Because it plays such an important role in your life, it makes sense to invest in caring for it. To pamper your skin and help you look and feel your best, choose natural, handmade skincare products such as Sugar Scrub and Body Butter from Cushy Scents.

Invest in Your Career

 If you’re dealing with a difficult boss or snarky colleagues, you may go home at the end of the day feeling frustrated, stressed out, angry, or discouraged. And when your job is unsatisfying or not challenging enough, your feelings of unfulfillment can deal a blow to your self-esteem. So consider switching careers and getting into a field that will make you feel valued and appreciated. Online programs make it easier to earn a degree in a relevant field so you can boost your career prospects and your salary.     

Try a New Exercise Routine

Maybe you’re not comfortable in your post-baby body. Or you’re in the throes of menopause and dealing with night sweats and hot flashes. Wherever you are in your journey, hormonal changes, as well as environmental factors, can deplete you of energy and make you question how attractive you still are. But even if all you want to do is cosy up in bed and feel bad about yourself, trying a new fitness regimen is sure to boost your mood, increase your energy levels and maybe help you shed a pound or two, if that’s what you’re after.

Take a dance class, join a running group in your area, or sign up for yoga or Pilates sessions. If you have a busy schedule, there are still ways to get in fitness every day whether that’s walking during your lunch break or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. There are many options to choose from when it comes to fitness, so you have plenty of opportunities to try out and find what you enjoy.

Practice Mindfulness

Prayer and meditation have proven time and again that they can lead to better sleep as well as better focus and memory. These two powerful tools allow you to quiet your mind and relax your body, giving you a greater sense of peace and renewed confidence in your inner strength. So make it a habit to spend time communicating with a higher power. By acknowledging the presence of a higher being in your life, your burdens will start feeling lighter. Try journaling and writing down your thoughts and concerns as well as your successes and joys. This technique may help you gain perspective, and you’ll be more appreciative of each day you get to enjoy.

Beauty really comes from within! When you feel confident about yourself, your light shines through. So take time to find out what lifts you up, get rid of what weighs you down, and enjoy life to its fullest.
