Depressed and Ugly Remedies - by: Jane Kifer

There is a great remedy for feeling depressed and ugly. Maybe you are just feeling depressed, or maybe just ugly, or maybe a little of both or a lot of both. And if you think the remedy is too much, that means you really need it and need to do it even longer. If you are depressed and down and sad and feeling blue. Go buy flowers! Every Day for 27 days , go buy flowers. Put them in a new area of your home each day. Throw away the old ones as they start to wilt. First sign of gravitational sad decent in the flower, it's outta there! Get a new type of flower each day! Try and go to a new location to get them each day. If that feels overwhelming to do it for 27 days? Do it for 36! If that is beyond anything you could imagine, go for 108 days! It works! Get up, get out, get dressed - Go buy Flowers! I recently ordered dresses, many many dresses. Some fit nicely, some were questionable and some were downright awful and my son asked me what was wrong and why I was wearing a table cloth! But in trying on all these dresses, styles and colors, I wouldn't normally reach for, I realized I felt pretty and girlie. Jeans fit me differently in my aging body, and while that was my staple and garment of choice, I realized and admired my friend who wears dresses so easily, comfortably and beautifully. It sort of makes you feel pretty without even trying. it's like eating a Brie grilled cheese sandwich and drinking wine at noon in your kitchen, its the decadent beauty of the French they seem to embody in the every day. While we are at it, how about wearing red lipstick for 18 days. Talk about adding a little sex appeal to your essence! Italy here we come! This is an energetic shift, Wearing the dress or lipstick doesn't make you prettier, it's setting up rituals that reprogram your subconscious and makes you feel prettier or with the flowers, happier. 27 days, 36 days, 72 days, 108 days! Do it, watch it shift! See the results. While we are at it, if you would like more respect at work or to be in a more commanding position in your job because you are the boss but feel less credible, How's your outfit? Where's your desk? Let's start reprogramming in healthy, positive ways!
