How to Look Good Every Day, Even If You Are A Homebody (2 of 4)

Get Out of Those PJs

Staying in sleepwear all day can blur the boundaries between responsibility and rest. Changing into daytime attire, even casual wear, can help you shift your mental energy. This may not require wearing anything uncomfortable, restrictive, or fancy. Soft, relaxed fits can also count as getting dressed.

Think of changing clothes as a cue to yourself that it’s time to get active and engaged for your day. Comfortable doesn’t have to mean thoughtless—it can mean choosing clothing that you enjoy wearing at home but that can also quietly boost your confidence.

Begin Your Days with a Reset

How you start your morning is how you will set the tone for the duration of your day. Even if you don’t have solid plans, getting up and resetting your energy helps to signal to your brain that the day has begun. This could be as simple as washing your face, brushing your teeth, or opening a window to let in some fresh air. 

You don’t need a full routine, just enough to separate your time resting from your waking life. When you start your day with intention and purpose, it is much easier to feel present instead of disconnected.

Keep Up With Your Skincare Routine

When you aren’t planning to leave your house, it can be tempting to skimp on skincare. But this is where your daily habits kick in, when you might not have the motivation to do so. Cleansing, protecting, and moisturizing your skin can help you feel and look refreshed and make you feel cared for—regardless of your plans to stay indoors or not.

What to keep in mind is a routine that is simple and easy to stay consistent with. When skincare becomes a daily habit rather than an elaborate event, you are more likely to keep this habit intact. It also reinforces the fact that you are worthy of being taken care of every day, and not just when you are going out or being perceived by others.
