Some days I need to trick myself into feeling confident . I
call these hormonal confusion days . Here’s what gets me through those days:
Fancy smancy underwear – I’m not a lacy girl but I do feel
rebellious when I wear fluorescent and bright colours especially under a dark
suit
Smelling like a boudoir – perfume makes me happy so I don’t
apologise to those who have to get in a lift with me, suck it up!
Very very high shoes – it’s hard to feel confident when
everyone is looking down at you including your 13yo
Going Italian – for me this is a reminder to slow down and take
my time. Italians do not rush or get flustered they saunter usually with a
coffee in hand and their civilisation has not crumbled.
Chocolate for Breakfast – if you can’t make it to the gym and
exercise the endorphins into action eat the chocolate now go the gym later,
it’s called balance people.
I realise some of you are probably reeling from the idea of
eating chocolate, while teetering into work late smelling like a perfumery but
I must say it helps me no end.
I suggest that everyone make a list of the simple things
that make them feel happy and confident and keep it handy for when the evil PMT
strikes!
Better yet circulate it to the members of your household so
when they see the smoke coming out of the top of your head they can fetch them
for you instead of screaming she’s gonna blow and hiding under the couch.
