Your Appearance Matters

If you are wondering if how you look really matters; the short answer is, yes it does! Your appearance matters- probably much more than you realize. People judge you by how you look, and truth be told, you also judge yourself by your appearance.

One look in the mirror in the morning can affect how you feel for the rest of the day. You were created to embrace your womanhood and this includes among other things taking care of your beauty, both inward and outward. By enhancing your femininity, you reflect confidence and joy!

You Are Not Being Selfish!

Many moms feel like they are being selfish any time they put their interests ahead of others. The first thing you need to realize is that taking care of yourself is never selfish. A mom who eats healthy, gets plenty of exercise, and gets enough rest is equipping herself to be a great mother.

Everyone knows that lack of sleep will leave you frazzled and agitated. Trying to take care of your children when you are feeling tired is a recipe for disaster. There is a close association between your child’s wellbeing and how you take care of yourself. As the saying goes “when momma isn’t happy, nobody’s happy”!

You Can Make The Time!

One of the most common excuses that moms the world over make is that they don’t have the time to take care of themselves. You might feel like every waking moment is spent taking care of the kids. The fact is that if you understand how important it is, you will make the time!

You probably think that you don’t have time to exercise with several kids in the home. Taking care of yourself both physically and mentally will make a huge difference in your parenting. Having a positive attitude to health and exercise will instill the same foundation into your kids.

You Are Setting An Example

The moment you become a mom, you need to realize that you have people looking up to you. Your children will learn first from you before anyone else and what you do will remain with them for a long time.

When you know your children are watching, the least you can do is set a good example. It is important for your kids to see a mom who looks good! Your children want to be like you and this means that you need to be the best you that you can be. The best way you can teach your children is by being a good example.

You Get More Opportunities

If you are still looking for a good reason to take care of your appearance, you need to know that your appearance will bring you opportunities. How you look will determine how approachable you appear. As a mom, you want to know that you can get what you need for yourself and your family.

Any time you go out alone or with the family, your appearance can be the door that opens opportunities. Caring for your body will help you to expand your influence. Your appearance can increase your impact!

Taking care of your appearance requires making intentional choices. This might mean stepping outside of your comfort zone by putting your needs first. Keep your eye on the prize and remember that you can look great, feel healthy, and live a joyful life, all while being a great mom!
