Why not live with your best self? The one who takes care of mind and body and values life. So, taking care of how you look is going to help you through each day of isolation, particularly if you are only living with yourself. Well there is one thing to wake up for, you’re still alive and well, you still have a day to go through and people to connect with, even if it only on a video call. No-one feels like doing anything when you have not made an effort and staying in your pyjamas and not bothering with grooming is just another way of telling yourself there’s nothing to wake up for. Even if you are not working, doing the same will ultimately make you feel better anyway. Getting ready for work in the same way that you would do if you were going to the office is a way of getting mentally prepared for the day and increases your alertness and productivity. Psychologists argue that getting dressed and ready for the day as if you are going somewhere is part of a steady routine which helps to avoid the detrimental effects of poor mental health brought about by isolation. Many believe fashion is more important now than ever before. But does not getting dressed and wearing makeup really have an effect on how you are feeling. Ultimately, how you feel will affect your body, so how healthy you are will determine how equipped you are with dealing with the changes brought about by the lockdown. But how is that having an effect on your mental health. Makeup? What makeup? Why bother when no one but the people living with you will see you. You might decide after a few hours that you want to go for a walk so you go from your pyjamas to your joggers. It feels like the ideal world in which you wake up to the morning’s work still in your pyjamas. Working from home right now, you might put thoughts about fashion on the bottom of a rotted pile of priorities. Why self-care is even more important right now.
