Grooming
can broadly defined in many aspects. Subconsciously as human beings, we are attracted
to beautiful looking things. There is a biased affinity for attractive people
in society be it in seeking for employment, choosing a potential mate and it
starts from a young age where we pick our friends. While we may not be
consciously aware, the way we dress, carry ourselves starting from our posture,
to the texture and colour of our attire all convey a message to a person who we
just meet. More attractive people are often associated with more positive
traits and connotations.
While we may not all be genetically blessed, nor have the resources to
undergo plastic surgery there are many things that we can do within our means
to look the best that we can which are affordable for the everyday person. Here
are some suggestions and rituals that you can follow to bring out the best of
yourself without having to burn a hole in your wallet.
Grooming can be deemed as an indication of
respect, both for yourself as well as for your job and the people you are
meeting. It is an indication of whether
a person has the discipline to instill certain routines to maintain good
hygiene and social manners. Simple things would include making sure you don’t
have nose hair and arm pit hair sticking out unnecessarily especially if you
are female and taking regular showers and wearing clean clothes that are
pressed and that fit your body well.
While many of you may be unaware, being
well groomed is extremely crucial especially when you are being interviewed for
a job, meeting clients and in everyday business interaction. It associated as a
form of credibility and very often you are assessed on your outlook and appearance
and impressions are immediately formed in a persons head before the other
person even has a chance to open their mouths. Human beings are largely visual
and attracted beautiful looking things. Therefore we cannot afford to be sloppy
in our outlook, appearance and behavior if you want to survive in society. Being well groomed does not require an
unreasonable amount of effort or money but it can help you go a long way and
increase your overall attractiveness.
Although these basic things may seem commonsensical
and do not require much effort or attention there are a few people who neglect
to even abide by these few basic things. However given the importance of being
groomed in todays society one should not overlook the need for these basic
routines as part of basic and essential grooming.
