Confidence and Self Esteem
Confidence & Self Esteem
Aren’t Economic Terms
I hear about the economy every day from folks receiving beauty treatments. It is interesting to hear the motives of the folks getting the treatments. They all have one common thread- Confidence and Self Esteem. I am really inspired to hear how each of them in different ways, have made adjustments. Yet, to a person, they all realize that the economy is temporary, and they can choose to participate or they can choose to look for the pleasure and blessings all around us. The financial status of my patients varies widely, like in any office, but the similarities are striking when it comes to who purchases what and why. I have found that people will not miss a mortgage payment to obtain their Botox or laser treatment, but they will skip going to restaurants so often in order to do it. The reason? As one patient put it: “Things are bad enough out there. If I don’t get this done (lips, eyes, you name it), then things are bad in the mirror too. It makes me feel better.”
Feeling Fabulous Is The Key
Have you ever had a real bad hair day and all you wanted to do was get back home before too many people saw you? With cosmetic treatments, it’s not that different. When you know you look fabulous, or at least rested and refreshed, you feel fabulous and have much more confidence about pretty much everything. Confidence in one area tends to spread to others. People look at you differently, you look at them differently, and think about this…they respond to you differently. Finding a new job, or even getting a promotion today is much more difficult than it was a few years ago. Of course you are going to wear your best business attire and be appropriately groomed. You are going to be aware of the company and have done your homework (if it is a new venture). However, the “edge” that you need might just be from the confidence that you have attained from erasing the years and looking better than ever. With that kind of attitude, you can’t lose!
From Dr. Bonnie: When first meeting, my patients tell me they want to look younger, and we talk about their concerns. For most its a sense of not looking as “fresh” as they used to. As we continue to talk, I find many are under incredible stress, and it’s aging them beyond their real years. They’re aware of the pressure, and maybe even of the toll it’s taking. Unfortunately, its not easy to figure out how to get off this energy draining treadmill that’s sabotaging their chance to look great. I ‘ve discovered three common problems that almost all of these patients share, and even went so far as to prepare three separate videos, which have become my “prescriptions”. Each deals with a different problem and shows step-by-step how to eliminate them from your life. I would love to share them with you, and there is no charge. The first is titled “The Dirty Little Secret of Multi-Tasking” and as the title may hint, Multi-Tasking is not helping us save time nor get things done faster. You will also begin receiving My Beauty Tip of The Week every Friday. In it I discuss things just like in the article above and can answer your questions, should you want to ask. It’s also free and you can unsubscribe at any time. I look forward to hearing from you. Dr. Bonnie
