It\'s OK if you\'re a bit of a wimp. So are some idiva editors. <a href="http://www.lover-beauty.com/Sexy-clubwear/">Sexy Clubwear</a> Prachi Gangwani 27 Nov 2016 facebook twitter reddit twitter 395SHARES In cognitive psychology, there is a theory that our thoughts, feelings and behaviour are interconnected, and that one affects the others. It\'s a cycle. So, if we are feeling awful, it will reflect in our behaviour and thoughts. The beautiful thing about this, though, is that we can reverse this by working on our behaviour. This means that if we indulge in positive behaviours when we are feeling shitty, it can impact how we feel.

How  we dress up is also related to behaviour. On days that we don\'t feel great, we are usually not that motivated to dress well. We just want to throw on the first thing that we can grab, and get on with our day. Or, if we have the luxury, we can slip into our pyjamas with our hair all over the place, and stay in bed. Sounds familiar? Yes, there are days when it is important to just give in to this desire to be sloppy. But, resisting it might actually be more beneficial.

The act of grooming oneself, fdgfhfjhhhgj and then looking at the result, can be empowering. Looking good, can make us feel good. Dressing the part can not only help us feel more confident, but also reinforce our own resilience and will to carry on, no matter what is going on.

How others perceive us, also has a bearing on how we feel about ourselves. People tend to be more receptive toward those who are well-dressed. We are instinctively drawn to those who seem like they take care of themselves, and are in control. It makes us feel safe. So, on days when you feel out of sorts, dressing up like you are in charge can elicit others to act like you are, indeed, in control.

But forget everything else. Dress well when you feel like shit, simply because, like Carrie Bradshaw says, running into your ex looking like shit is the worst thing that can happen to you! Now, you wouldn\'t want your day to go from bad to worse, would you?
