It affects many of us once a month and there is nothing we can do about it but surrender to the power of hormones. This is the premenstrual phase, a period in which we tend to be more nervous, susceptible, melancholic and await resigned cramps, which announce the indispensable monthly appointment.
In addition to this, there is often the feeling of being ugly, inadequate, clumsy ...

You look in the mirror and find your hair in revolt, which does not find fold and peace, and an asphyxiated skin that is even refractory to make-up.
In front of us, an endless expanse of clothes, we have already tried five outfits that were enchanting, but nothing, our head is fixed on the swelling, which actually is there, but it is not so visible.

Know that the bad perception related to your body is greatly influenced by menstrual hormones.
Not only, “in those days”, we tend to see ourselves in a distorted way, amplifying every imperfection, but in fact more physiological mechanisms contribute to determining a slight (momentary) weight gain, estimated between one and two kilos.

A tragedy? But no, come on ... By facing the phase that precedes the arrival of the period in the right way, we will not only be able to limit the negative thoughts directed towards ourselves and our appearance, but take advantage of them to develop a bit of healthy self-esteem, which will serve us always, not just in "those days".
Let's see some tips to achieve this goal!

1. Don't be severe and judgmental with yourself

Be yourself - always - and be proud of who you are. Self-esteem also depends on the thoughts we make about ourselves. If we always and continuously think about it negatively, over time we will convince ourselves that we really are like this.

Avoiding harsh judgments means learning to talk to yourself with more affection, limiting that state of mind to a specific event. It is important to improve your self-image, your self-esteem, showing ourselves that we love each other.

It is a process that must be learned, it takes patience, attention and training: we have to change a part of our way of thinking about it, we have to change a habit.

2. Don't isolate yourself and smile

Try to carve out moments to spend in company, in the midst of people, and smile! Believe it or not, smiling or not smiling is key to what most people find "attractive". Our brains are programmed to be attracted to smiles since we are babies, and they can work wonders by giving that "something special" to even a simple face.

3. Look in the mirror with different eyes

The mirror always lies, beware! The image is mirrored and already at a distance of only 30/50 cm the perceived proportions are different from the real ones and, above all, from how others actually see us. So looking in the mirror is fine, but not too much. and above all we learn to observe ourselves with the right gaze.

The first thing we should look at are our strengths. Start with what you like about yourself and learn to emphasize and value it. A nice décolleté, flowing hair, tapered hands or nice arms; we all have at least one thing we like about us. We always avoid focusing only on what we don't like: that cursed pimple, the too big nose, the pronounced hips ...

4. Do not sabotage yourself and do not make comparisons

Another step to stop feeling ugly is to avoid self-sabotaging. Don't always tell yourself that you are not beautiful enough, charming enough or smart enough to do something, because you are not! And also stop always comparing yourself to others: even those who apparently look beautiful and happy are not perfect.

When women look at a beautiful woman, they confront each other and almost always come out losers, because they only compare critical areas. On the contrary, men, when confronted, are more inclined to notice any similarities ("I too have my back like this") or to remember their "strengths" and therefore come out comforted and less dissatisfied. !

5. Love yourselves outside and inside too!

Helping yourself with something that can, from the inside, support this path in "relieving the symptoms of the premenstrual phase - pessimistic thoughts included - can be a" great idea.
Because, if it is true that a lot depends on our head, it is also true that the organism, by sending certain signals rather than others, can contribute especially in moments of hormonal changes such as the pre-cycle, to send our thoughts into a tailspin.

An excellent help comes from Buscofen Premenstrual Food Supplement, to be taken once a day in the 10 days preceding the arrival of the menstrual flow.
