Update Your Image, Aha

I've been flipping magazines of late courtesy of Misha. The other day was Smitten, today's Cleo and once I'm done with this, there's Women's Weekly. hahaaa.. Bountyful tips, ideas, info for Project K I must say. If only I can remember them ALL...

One entry caught my attention enough for me to read. I'm sharing.

Page 81 of Cleo: These quick steps will toss the dreary ol' you out the window in no time.
(Editor Aishah's note: Below are snippets from the mag. It's long and awinding so I've decided to chop it up for easier nibbling/reading. The facts remain unchanged tho. Baby steps to a more postive ME)

1) Ditch any negative body language.
Maintain eye ctc when engaged in conversation.
THIS is a bit of a prob for me. I get bored easily. Waaay to easily I think. I risk being a hypocrite everytime I maintain the "i am interested" look when I'm yawning (very widely) inside.
But being fake is better than being a meanie I guess, so there.

2) Boot the need to always look PERFECT.
Embrace your natural look and step out w/o looking too polished.
I dun have this problem. In fact, I need to buck up and put more effort to not look too shabby everyday. eeks!

3) Believe in yourself
Give yourself more credit than you deserve. Don't think that every else's opinion is more impt than your own. Say what u believe in - it'll reflect on your personality and before you know it, you'll radiate with self-confidence.
I'm jotting above word-for-word. Be proud, not pathetic. Noted.

4) Smile when soneone looks at you
It'll lift your own spirits and your cheery nature is bound to rub off on you.
I'm not a smiler by nature.
But since I've been requested to smile more, I will do just that lah. :D


Hopefully, 20 years from now, I can dig this up and laf at this merapek post coz by then I'll already a very grounded, solid, sure of myself Aishah. Insya Allah.
