Euthenics Unit 1 Topic 4

Power dressing refers to a style of dress that communicates authority and leadership in the workplace. It can boost confidence and help one advance their career by making a strong first impression. Power dressing breaks stereotypes by expressing individuality rather than just impressing others. It commands respect from others and influences how one feels about themselves. Maintaining good personal hygiene and grooming is also important for making positive impressions and showing respect for oneself and others.

THE POWER OF POWER DRESSING


By: ANNA VERASAI (APRIL 25, 2017)

WORKPLACE CULTURE
Power dressing is the unique style of an individual that shows their position and authority in
business or at work place. When people advice you to dress for the position you thrive for; they
say it rightly, as power dressing has a major impact on your career. Not only dressing, but your
style, confidence, your body language, and the way you carry yourself matters equally. Surely,
your clothing is not an indicator of your intelligence; but it does act as a confidence and morale
booster in the corporate world. When you have intelligence, intellectual and a leadership
capability; your dressing is the statement that puts across this message. The charm and suave that
oozes through power dressing is definite and extraordinary for people who want to make a mark
in this rat race of climbing the corporate ladder.

POWER DRESSING HAS ITS OWN POWERFUL IMPACTS


1. Breaking Stereotypes
One of the traditional adages states that you need to dress to impress. Whereas, people all over
the globe are breaking this old impression to a new one which says – Dress to Express. You
don’t need to impress anyone through clothes; intelligence is enough for that. But to express
authority and commandment; well for that power dressing is a must. It also affects how you feel
about yourself, indirectly affecting your body language. When you feel confident in your clothes;
your approach automatically becomes confident.

2. A Perfect Recipe for Respect


What is one common thing among all the celebrities, political icons, business tycoons, and iconic
influencers? Their command, their authority, and of course their dressing; and interestingly it is
an inter-linked chain. Power dressing states authority, which in turn makes you respect the
person who is in command. When it is said that sharp and crisp dressing gives you a morale
boost; it also makes others see at you with a different perspective. You can effectively cut your
way out the fierce competition simply by your strong influence.

3. Never Under-estimate the Impact of First Impression


As a matter of fact, we have no control over first impressions. We are involuntarily driven by our
sub-conscious minds to notice minute details we may not be consciously aware about. People do
tend to make self-decisions regarding a person’s personality during first meetings itself. Do you
want to come off as an influencer or as just another normal worker? It all depends upon your
style, your dressing. The way you dress and present yourself to others; also speaks volumes of
your seriousness about work. Unless, you are an artist who does not need to make an impact
physically; or you are working in a creative bubble where creativity supersedes everything else.

4. Suit Up
Gone are the days where formals and blazers were the donned by the male section of society.
Women power players make an equally powerful statement in the present corporate scenario;
with tailor-made and haute-couture suits, blazers, and formals. The corporate ladder has turned
into a runway for the female protagonists; who are giving leadership and authoritative goals, and
showing bold courage for work and career goals.

MAKE IT HEARD WITHOUT WORDS


power dressing for workplace
Your clothing elicits your personality without you having to use words for the same. When
working in the corporate world; go out confidently and come out as a strong competitor with
your actions itself. Remember to use well-fitted suits, blazers, formals, and co-ordinated
footwear (for both men and women); and also statement accessories along with subtle make-up
to increase your iconic image. But certainly don’t overdo anything; which can make you a misfit
at workplace.

PERSONAL HYGIENE
What Is the Meaning and the Importance of Personal Hygiene?
By ION DOAGA

What Is the Meaning and the Importance of Personal Hygiene?


The importance of personal hygiene is as regular car maintenance is for a car.
Without maintenance, the car breaks down faster while, without personal hygiene, the human
body worsens its appearance and weakens its health and well-being.
Are you still interested in understanding the meaning and importance of personal hygiene in our
life?
The meaning of personal hygiene
 The meaning of personal hygiene is to reduce the spread of bacteria and diseases from
one person to another.
 In simple words, each person should maintain its body clean and healthy so that to
prevent infecting other people.
 If each person would think and act as such there would be fewer contaminations from
person to person.
Unit 1: Introduction to Euthenics

The importance of personal hygiene


 Personal hygiene is a set of activities that prevent the worsening of your health or state of
mind.
 Personal hygiene doesn’t promote good health. It prevents the worsening of health.

For example:
If your body is showing signs of poor hygiene like bad teeth, for example, brushing them more
times than you used to won’t make your teeth healthier.
On the other side, having healthy teeth and brushing them two times per day would keep them
healthy for a longer time.

Hygiene vs Body Cleanliness vs Grooming 


To understand the factors that contribute to better personal hygiene, let's define their meaning. 
1. Hygiene
Personal hygiene refers to maintaining the cleanliness of the body as a whole. A hygienic body
prevents the release of your own microorganisms to others and getting them from others to you. 
2. Body cleanliness
Body cleanliness refers to all the body cleaning activities such as hand washing, showering, hair
washing, teeth brushing, etc. You need to apply these body cleaning activities, on a regular basis,
to maintain good personal hygiene.  
3. Grooming
Personal grooming activities prolong the cleanliness effect of your body.
For example:
You have better chances to maintain the cleanliness of the body if, after taking a shower, you
moisturize the skin, maintain facial hair, and wear clean clothes. That maintains the body fresh
for longer.

Hygiene conscious people believe that living in a clean and healthy environment begins with
themselves. They make an effort to maintain their body and environment clean and safe for
themselves. They don’t count on somebody who will do that for them.
Also, they understand that by neglecting personal hygiene, they make it harder for themselves to
connect with people.
This state of awareness helps them differentiate between the habits that make their life easier and
the ones that create obstacles in their life.

Hygiene conscious people are aware that it's better to:

 Maintain a clean and balanced diet instead of eating crap food.


 Shower regularly instead of doing it occasionally. 
 Go to bed before midnight instead of staying awake late nights. 
 Wear appropriate clothing according to weather conditions and etiquette.
 Keep the house clean and ventilated instead of living in a dirty and dusty place.
 Not to share personal care tools with others because that is not hygienic.
 Wash your dishes immediately after the meal instead of leaving it for later.

 Make up your bed as soon as you wake up instead of doing it after you come from
school or work. 

3 main personal hygiene prevention methods 


Disease prevention begins with good personal hygiene. This removes the obstacles that make
you feel unsatisfied by the way you look or by the way other people perceive you. 
Follow a personal hygiene checklist to improve your overall well-being. 

1. Oral care
To maintain maintain your mouth clean make the habit to follow an oral hygiene routine at least
two times per day.
This basic routine should include teeth brushing, dental flossing and tongue cleaning. 
2. Hands hygiene
Wash your hands regularly and maintain your fingernails trimmed and short. 
Your hands are the dirtiest part of your body because you touch many dirty and dusty objects. 
At the same time, unkempt fingernails and dirty hands look unpleasant which may embarrass
people when shaking hands with you. Especially, when they notice that black line of much
beneath your fingernails. 
3. Body hygiene
Take showers regularly whenever you feel that you feel smelly and not fresh. 
Showering is a great way to eliminate sweat or other body eliminations head to toe. While
showering, pay attention to your armpit as this area releases the most odors. 
Also, wash your feet thoroughly as well. 

What Is the Importance of Good Grooming?


By Staff Writer Last Updated Apr 7, 2020 3:04:36 PM ET

Good grooming and keeping oneself neat and clean shows that a person has respect for
himself or herself and the people he or she comes in contact with throughout the day. There
are many aspects of grooming and personal hygiene including hair, nails, breath, body odor and
clothing.

Regardless of whether one is running errands or going on a job interview, good grooming should
be second nature. Practicing a daily routine of personal hygiene helps a person put their best foot
forward, no matter what the situation is.

Men and women should keep their hair neat and clean. Trimming and styling it every few
months helps keep the hair from appearing shaggy and unkempt. Fingernails should always be
clean, and men's nails look best when clipped short. If women choose to wear nail polish, it
should be maintained on a regular basis. Teeth should be brushed at least once a day to help keep
breath fresh, and people should shower regularly to help combat body odor.

The style of clothing depends upon the situation or event. For example, people are expected to
wear business attire to the office, but can dress in a more casual manner on the weekends. No

matter what the situation, however, clothing should always be clean and free from stains or rips.
One's outward appearance is the first impression he or she gives when meeting someone new.
