Stay Beautiful During Stressful Times
I believe that being prepared for all the things that might come
your way really relieves stress, keeps you calm and gives you a confident
feeling. And you need that confidence to put your best foot forward (like the catwalk).
Maybe you can use some of these simple tips to be prepared and calm when you
have a stressful time coming up. Finding peace and being relaxed during busy
times are the right feelings on the path of success.
Sleep is very important to a healthy lifestyle, but what if you
have a few weeks coming up when your schedule just does not give you enough
time to rest? Most people have weeks when they are likely to get stressed out.
Are there other things you can do to take care of yourself when getting enough
sleep is not an option? My secret is to be as “Organized” as possible. Be
organized and bring the right things with you. I think when you go somewhere,
whether it is an event or a long trip, what you bring in your bag is quite
important. Nothing is as annoying as being hungry, cold, tired or stressed out,
and not having anything to take care of it right then and there. You don’t have
to bring three suitcases, but in your purse or travel bag you can bring a few
things that can come in very handy while rushing around.
Here is a checklist of items you go along with to help you stay
relaxed during crazy times:
A Bottle of
Water: Always have something to drink so as not to be dehydrated on
those stressful moments. Aside that, drinking water is still very important to
getting great looking skin. The water gives your skin a plump and fresh
appearance and, it helps your skin in regeneration, getting rid of old skin and
birthing new ones. With a bottle you can see exactly how much you drink a day.
Something
healthy and tasty to eat: Bring something healthy to eat. A handful
of nuts can be helpful in this situation. Nuts are healthy, and will stop your
hunger and make you stay away from bad foods.
Phone
charger: You always want people to be able to reach you and vice versa.
What if the people you are going to visit need to call you to get picked up,
but you have to make last minute work calls while you wait for them? This way
you can avoid the stress of seeing the bars on your phone shrinking as it
starts to run out of juice.
Gum and
freshening products: It is not fun if who is right in front of
your face or next to you smells exactly like what you ate last night. Also,
deodorant, toothpicks, toothbrush and paste, and a hair brush will help you
feel pulled together if you are running around.
Vitamins: When you
know you are going to lack some essential nutrients for a few days or weeks,
it’s helpful to take some nutritional supplements and multivitamins.
Makeup and
makeup remover: I am allergic to some
products so I try to bring my own makeup remover and my own makeup, if I need
to “fix my face” at any time. You always want to look flawless when the whole world
is watching you. Well, sometimes when I just don’t care and exhausted you may
see me with a bare face *eyes rolling*
Entertainment: Whether
you are stuck in the waiting room or have been sitting down for the long
journey, having a book or iPod (or even Smartphone these days) with you can
help ease the stress of the whole thing.
Business
cards: If you happen to meet someone new and interesting, you want him
or her to remember who you are or reach you next time.
Pen and Memo: Hey, you
never know! You may need to take an important note.
Something
warm: A sweater, big scarf or blanket.
Don’t forget a small portable umbrella for unpredictable weather.
