Look good, feel greatPaying attention to your appearance can give you a great lift in your new life after divorce. Making an effort with your appearance not only boosts your confidence but lets others know that you are a fully paid up member of the human race.![]() The importance of looking good after divorce If you’ve just been through a stressful break up, chances are you won’t be feeling that great about yourself. Your confidence may be at rock bottom and your respect for yourself has quite likely taken a hit since your divorce not only leaving you shell shocked, but looking as washed out physically as you feel emotionally. You may not see the point of making an extra effort or indeed any effort, with your appearance at this point in your life but hiding away watching soaps on the TV unshaven and unkempt is the exact opposite of what you need to be doing. Now is the time for women to pay extra attention to their makeup and hair, and for men to shave regularly and make a visit to the barber. Why? Looking good after divorce will not only make you feel good but will in turn affect the way other people react toward you making you feel more confident as your self esteem spirals upwards in a self-fulfilling cycle that should not be under estimated. Paying attention to grooming as well as how you dress really can change your life - witness the success of makeover programmes such as What Not To Wear on the Beeb and Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked. Popular magazine titles that give great advice and help on choosing and using cosmetics and grooming products, changing your hairstyle and colour - for both sexes – and generally helping you to make the most of yourself.
