I maintain my appearance not because of vanity, but because it grants me confidence.
When I look good, I feel good. When I look professional, I feel professional, and therefore give off a professional demeanor.
I style my hair on a daily basis, keep impeccable hygiene, iron my clothes before heading out the door, and maintain my weight. These are seemingly small efforts, but they make a world of a difference in the manner I present myself to others!
My spouse enjoys that I make a conscious effort to look good. While most of our friends are letting go of their appearances because they are “too busy” to care, I am turning back the clock with each day that passes. The attraction and passion in our relationship continues to increase, in part, because of my efforts toward my appearance.
Each morning I look sharp and confident in myself as I walk into my office. I am certain that my managers take notice, as do the clients. My polished appearance and confidence are sure to benefit my career come promotion time!
I ooze confidence. When you look this good, confidence is impossible to hide.
Today, I look into the mirror and smile at my reflection. I maintain my appearance because it gives me a boost of confidence in all of the right moments.
