You probably recognize this, you wake up, take a shower, get dressed and look in the mirror and think "I can be there anyway". But the next day after the same routine, you don't see the same woman you saw yesterday. You don't like the mirror image, and in fact you think you just don't look that nice. Here are 5 reasons why you sometimes get this feeling.
When you are in a good mood, feel good about your life, or are optimistic about something, you are full of positive energy. Then you see the good in yourself. However, when you are depressed, disappointed or lonely you are full of negative energy, and during such moments you only see your “flaws”.
When you are exposed to very cold weather, dust or the blazing sun without protective clothing, the health of the skin deteriorates. The dust covers the skin pores, cold causes cracks in the skin and prolonged exposure to the hot sun makes your body dry. Then you probably find your reflection less attractive.
If you binge drink on the weekend without drinking enough water, you won't look very good. Lack of sleep can lead to dull skin, and causes the body to release more of the stress hormone cortisol. Excessive amounts of this hormone break down skin collagen, the protein responsible for keeping your skin supple and elastic.
If you're having problems in a relationship, chances are you're sleeping little, crying, eating too much or too little, worrying, and so on. This affects your appearance and you will not like what you see in the mirror.
Being teased in childhood about things like your size, weight, or something wrong with a body part will haunt you for much of your adulthood. Sometimes you'll think it's the first thing people see when they look at you. Relax, the truth is that people hardly notice that your nose is small or your buttocks fat.
