Chapter 1: Understanding the Connection

The saying "Look good, feel good" resonates with many, but its significance truly hit home for me during a challenging time last year. I found myself caught in a whirlwind of stress at work, navigating a period filled with uncertainty, which left me feeling anything but good.

I neglected my appearance; it simply didn’t matter to me during that phase. However, a close friend reached out with concern, saying, “Nadan, you don’t seem like yourself; you seem disengaged.” This prompted me to reflect on how my internal struggles were manifesting externally. It became clear that I required assistance and needed to take a step back.

The toll on my physical health became evident: sleepless nights, poor eating habits, skin breakouts, painful bloating, and even hair loss. I found myself doubting my choices and feeling profoundly unhappy. The stress was overwhelming.

Since leaving that detrimental job environment, I’ve prioritized self-care and taken the time to explore what truly brings me joy. In the last couple of months, I’ve immersed myself in personal growth—enrolling in courses aligned with my passions, reading thought-provoking literature, exercising regularly, cooking nutritious meals, and investing time in my relationships through laughter and dance.

And the results? I genuinely feel good!

When friends compliment me, saying, “Nadan, you look incredible! Your eyes are radiant,” it reinforces my decision to prioritize my well-being. Their acknowledgment of my transformation reminds me that I am on the right path.

Nothing is more important than your mental and physical health. Our emotions are vital indicators, and ignoring them often leads to visible consequences until we choose to listen.
