Make An Effort To Look Nice

I am really making an effort with this but i have to get up early and sometimes when im runing late i just cant be bothered but if i have alot of time i can be bothered and i will use effort but its really hard to do!

So far this goal is going pretty well.
Slowly but surely. I’m still having troubles getting dressed before noon, but when I do, I’m actually putting some effort in.

I figured out that I need to convince myself that spending 30 to 60 minutes in front of the mirror is not a waste of time, so I’ve come up with a few personal positives. (I can’t just focus on how other people see me because that will make me crazy.)

1. It is an opportunity to be playful and creative.

2. When I really don’t want to do it, it is still an opportunity to practice concentration and disipline.

3. I am becoming more familiar with my own face and body which is strengthening my sense of identity.

When I focus on these things, the goal seems more worth it.

So now that I am getting a handle on how to deal with this day-to-day, it’s time to think of the next step. Like getting regular haircuts.

So I got all dresed up today and I did my hair! Yeah! But the bad news is that I braided my hair and it fell out, so I had to put it in a bun! It didn’t turn out as well as I wanted it too.

I even did my hair and put on make up.

Seriously.
Or comb my hair or something.
Maybe I’ll go do that right now.

Today was my first day at trying to look nice. I thought I looked pretty nice today. I got a few compliments! Yeah! First day done, now for tommrow.

I so want to do this! I really want to try to look nice. I don’t exceptially try this and to do it I am going to have to get a new wardrobe, which is going to take a little bit.

Right now I have a big obstacle to overcome in meeting this goal: Sleep. I love it. I think that sleeping probably rates in my top 3 favorite things to do. I especially like sleeping in the morning, when it’s cold. I’m often late to classes because I make the choice to stay under the covers for ten minutes more…anyway!

Obviously, when faced with the choice, “wake up now, in order to have time to do my hair etc etc…” or “sleep! warm blankets! soft pillows!” I choose the latter.

It’s a matter of willpower. I set a million alarms to wake up in the morning, now I only need to stop ignoring them.

god this is actually hard word! sometimes i just cannot be bothered. when im going out im trying put that bit more effort in!

sick of looking like a scruffbag!! since i started seeing my man ive let myself go down hill!! i feel a constant struggle to “make myself up”.
