HOW POISED ARE YOU?

Poise is the fruit of elegance, it’s the ability to stay confident and composed at all times in every situations. So…, how poised are you?

                                                     

It’s really not about having a trending hair-do or perfecting the lines of your make-up. As a matter of fact, you could have your natural hair plaited with zero or mild make-up and still be poised. In other words, being poised is all about the way and manner you carry yourself, how you take care of your body, wardrobe and immediate surroundings.

To be poised some certain things about us need to be checked and balanced

1.       Composure

§  Learn how to comport yourself at all times.

§  Carry yourself in a calm and gentle manner, yet strong and purposeful.

§  Learn to be peaceful, to study people, to listen and have a clear understanding before you talk; if you have tendencies to be stressed and hurry all the time, learn to be calm.

§  Read; you don’t necessarily need to read ambiguous books, magazines, short novels, articles on blogs even religious books would help. Studies have shown that readers are more respected in the society, because they know more.

§  Imbibe few etiquettes like greetings which is very important in any corporate or social gathering, politeness, respect…

§  Be stylish; the way you walk, talk, eat, laugh, etc.

2.       Always keep your mind light and happy. Good mood is important to maintain a poised appearance. Yes! I know some situations might cause your mood to flutter, if you are faced with such situations, you can try this techniques which usually works for me;

§  Listen to good music.

§  Sing along and if possible dance to the music.

§  Smile your way out of the situation.

3.       Invest in your body.

§  Take supplement regularly; vitamin C & E. I am not a doctor but believe me it’s helpful.

§  Get good skin product (facial cleansers & moisturizers).

§  Wear clean inner-wears.

§  Take good care of your hair and nails.

§  Smell nice and radiant always; regular bath and a good body spray will achieve that.

4.       Dress with style.

 

§  Always wear clothes that suits your skin colour, size, season, occasion and personality.

§  If you want to copy a trend, make sure it suits you.

§  Create your own personal style and follow less trends.

§  Be confident always.
