Changing the look of ourselves

Do you look in the mirror or do you avoid?

I used to a lot and I hated fitting rooms in shops and this would make me get so upset that I would feel totally ugly. 

How many of you can identify with that?

I would love your answers if you do this and how you deal with them (coment below).

Making small changes can make all the difference or just one thing. I don't wear make up all of the time, but when I see hair above my lip it can make feel so alien, yet I know other women feel like this too. Polystictive Ovaries can cause this and so it can really destroy you in the heart, and I know people say "Well you've got all you limbs so you should feel lucky" but when you see a version of yourself that you don't recognise as you can be soul destroying. 

People would say use cream, get used to it, its not the most important thing, but being a woman having such problems, it can really drag us down and they say you shouldn't shave because it makes the grow back even longer and I used the NO NO but it didn't fix it and so I use razors and hate having to do this but I do so to make me feel better when I do, and it for me is taking control and taking actions to make me feel good. 

I don't want to be shaving my hair above my lip, but I feel the need to do so to make me feel happy with what I see in the mirror. I can understand why those who have had cancer and lose their hair due to Kimo wear a scarf to cover up the loss of hair and again I bet they wished the didn't have to/, but it makes them feel better so surely that is important? 

What I like to do is when I do feel good is take a selfie and created a photo book of these so when I have a down day about myself could look at it, I written some afirmations and journal too and I practice a lot of self care and this has been a game changer, like using a body scrub, mositerisers and nice shower gels. 

Just minimal changes can go a long way so give those a try. 

Many thanks for reading,
