Here comes the first week’s outcome of a four-week experiment aimed to answer the questions: Would I feel different if I felt better about myself? Would others look at me and treat me differently?

Would I feel different if I felt better about myself? Would others look at me and treat me differently? I’m going to try to answer these questions by embarking on a one-month mini-experiment. For one month I will make an effort to look more “groomed” and I will report back every week for four weeks.

This week I’m choosing to be kind to myself. I’m choosing to ease off the pressure. I’m choosing to allow myself to sit down when I feel tired and slow down when I feel overwhelmed.

I have been haunted by the urge to dance. I want to learn to dance. I don’t want to become a dancing star. I don’t want to take part in concerts. I want to have fun. I want to feel the music. I want to let go.

Once upon a time I used to wear high heels effortlessly. Those days are long gone. But now I know why it’s almost impossible to get used to them again.

It’s not about looking good. It’s about feeling good. The ‘beauty’ created by hair dye, nails or whatever treatment, is skin-deep. What we need to stop and think about is what is happening underneath that skin.
