We can all agree that 2020 was a difficult year due to the coronavirus restrictions, the massive changes we had to go through, including working remotely, staying inside, and avoiding all social interaction. Many people are making the transition to work now that the majority of these restrictions have been lifted for those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Many people reported that they had let themselves down physically during the lockdown. This was due to a lack of social interaction and a lack of motivation to get dressed for the day. Some of us still have work to do in order to look our best and be ready to return to work. Fortunately, this is not the end of the world and there are plenty of things from new clothes to a visit to your favorite cosmetic dermatologist that can be done to help motivate you to be your best self, as well as boost your confidence and feel better about heading back to the office. Here are some things you can do to make your first day back at work a memorable one.
Story Stages
1. Upgrading Your Wardrobe
Over a year has passed since your business clothes were last seen in your closet. First, organize your closet and decide which clothes you want to keep and which you want to toss. You will have more space to buy new outfits for the office and maybe even a few extra articles of clothing for fun nights out, now that you can finally leave the house again. A shopping trip to buy a few new clothes is a great way to boost your confidence before you return to work. This doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. Having had to stay in for a year without being able to go to your favorite store to buy new clothes has left you with a great opportunity to save a lot of money on your shopping. Now, you don’t have to feel guilty about spending a little extra and spoiling yourself, since it’s probably been a while since your last shopping trip. There are many stores that offer great business attire at a low price, so you can save money. You deserve to feel confident and stylish.
2. Get Your Hair Done
You’re a hero if you have already taken this step and kept your hair healthy. Many of us haven’t been to a hairdresser in a while and need to get a haircut, a root touch-up, or a beard trim. To refresh your look, find your favorite hairdresser. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask them to give you a whole new style and color and see what you get. They know what they’re doing, so you may end up with a brand new look that you love. By doing this, or just getting a little touch up and cut, you will feel more confident in no time.
3. Spa Day
Treat yourself to a day of spa before you return to work. To feel relaxed and comfortable, get a massage and a facial. Some things can help boost self-confidence, such as hygiene. Sometimes, it can be all too easy to spend all your time at home. Take this time to do all the things that you can’t do at home before you go back to work, because before you know it, you’ll be busy running back and forth from home to the office, with limited time to take care of yourself and relax. Facials, steam rooms, and massages will do wonders to reduce the anxiety that comes with returning to work.
4. Hit Your Local Medi Spa
Many medical spas closed during the pandemic, which means that it is time to get some touch ups on your cosmetic work. Although cosmetic treatments may not be for everyone, Botox injections can give you a boost of confidence with only a tiny amount. It will not only eliminate wrinkles and lines that are inevitable with heavy work and stress, but it will also prevent them from developing. Botox is not the only cosmetic treatment that can brighten your skin. There are many other minimally invasive treatments, such as Secret RF and Fraxel, that can tighten and firm your skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, smoothen your skin and improve your complexion. To make your face look plumper and younger, you can get dermal fillers such as Juvederm. Juvederm is one of the most popular facial fillers composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide, that can be used to provide more definition for your face. This article provides more information about Juvederm applications for under-eye corrections and other minimally invasive medical treatment options. You can always schedule a consultation to see what they recommend for you to make you feel more confident and freshen up your appearance. You don’t need plastic surgery to feel better about yourself, you can get away with the most minimal treatments for amazing and rejuvenating results.
5. Hit The Gym
Many people claimed that they gained “quarantine” weight during the coronavirus lockdown. This can affect your mood and confidence, as well as your sleep quality. This can be overcome by joining a gym or starting a simple workout program. This will not only make you more confident but will also improve your sleep quality, concentration, and work performance.
6. Meditate
Meditation is a great addition to your daily routine. It can also improve your focus, quality of sleep, and work performance. It can be done at any hour of the day. This makes it a great stress reliever for when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed by your work.
There are many things you can do that will make you feel more confident and happy when you return to work. You can do things like your nails and hair, as well as physical activities that reduce stress and improve your mood. It can be stressful to have to return to work, but it is not all bad. You will be able to reconnect with coworkers and get back to a routine. A daily routine can help you live a better life. It allows you to keep your work and personal lives separate by having two places that are designated for each.
