Dress Sensibly for Success
Ø Dressing is an extremely important part of self
grooming. A
lot of people do not understand the importance of dressing according to the
occasion and thus, often find them as totally mismatched with the crowd. The
way you dress is the first thing that gets noticed about you. Thus, dress
appropriately always. If you are in a corporate meeting, wear a formal suit. If
you are out partying, wear something that is fun and different and if you are
out partying with friends, wear something that is relaxed ansd easy. If you
dress appropriately, the first signal that you send out is that you understand
social norms and also believe in impeccable sense of style.
Ø Attractive personalities are always dressed well
and pleasant to look at. Dressing well doesn’t mean you buy expensive designer
clothes and go for a complete make-over. It means that you wear an outfit that
suits your body type, and in colours that enhance your complexion. Match it
with accessories that are neither too gaudy nor too plain (read classy). Wear a
hairstyle they flatters your face structure. Smell good and, most importantly.

Take care of
your physical fitness
Ø The shape of your body defines more than just your health status;
it defines your approach towards your self grooming. Take a healthy and a
well-balanced diet. Exercise for at least half an hour daily and take plenty of
fluids. Cut down on junk food and replace tea and coffee with green tea. You
will soon become self-confident and would have more energy want to socialize
better.

Ø self grooming is also a lot about the peace of
your mind, body and soul. Thus, one should always indulge in habits and
practices that give peace to your mind and thus, enable you to live in a way

working on innovating oneself is also an integral part of self grooming.
Ø Reading enhances your intellectual capacity and
enables you to look at things from different perspectives. It refines the way
you think, speak and act. The more you read, the better you are able to
converse with others. Read all sorts of material from classics to biographies
to magazines and newspapers to improve your mind and gain a better
understanding of life. Whatever you read, do reflect on it and form an opinion
on the matter. People respect those who voice their own opinions and can back
their views with reasoning.

to your close friends and family members for self grooming and boosting

Body Language
for self grooming
Posture, is one of the most important thing for
boosting confidence in any workplace or in any situation.
A person who bows and slouches during an
interview, immediately carries a sign of boredom and laziness.
a.
Avoid your
pockets
keep
your hands out of your pockets. We put our hands in our pockets when we’re
uncomfortable or unsure of ourselves. As an alternative, try putting your hands
on your hips, it’s a far more confident posture
b.
Don’t Fidget
Fidgeting
is a clear sign of nervousness. A man who can’t keep still, is a man who is
worried, tens and certainly not confident. Your hands can be your worst
enemies fight to keep them still and steady
c.
Keep your eyes
forward
Keeping
your eyes level might be one of the trickiest ways to show confidence in body
language.When you’re walking anywhere by yourself, it often feels natural to
lower your head slightly and watch your step, but this posture communicates to
others that you don’t want to engage in conversation or interact
d.
Stand up
straight with your shoulder back
Standing up straight is one of the most important
tip to project confidence through body language. It can be a challenge
especially if you’ve been a slouches all your life, but get over it. Standing
up straight is perhaps the most important means of communicating confidence.
e.
Take wide steps
A confident man will never be described as
dashing, creeping or sneaking, so pay attention to the way you walk. If you
want to show confidence with body language you want to take large steps. Wide
steps make you seem purposeful and suggest a personal tranquility, which
denotes confidence in a man.
f.
Proper Self
Grooming
Imagine
yourself walking into a room, maybe there are lots of beautiful women there or
maybe the room is filled with respected colleagues. Now consider your
appearance: four days' worth of scruff, bad skin, hair crispy and pointy like a
Backstreet Boy’s. The point we’re trying to make is that grooming is an
essential component of communicating confidence through body language.
You want your
hair, face and even your smell to work for you, not against you. Don’t be
afraid to experiment with new products to find the ones that work for you.
The whole idea behind self-grooming is make one
self better than what they were. It is a constant process and it is something
that never dies and end. Irrespective of how much you do, you will always find
a small hole of imperfection that you can work towards filling and making
better. Even when you feel you know everything, you can always start with
inculcating something new. Thus, self grooming is a process that never ends. If
you wish to make a mark in the society and create a niche for yourself, it is a
must that you indulge in self grooming and making yourself a better person
every day.
