Research suggests that in an average month, British women only feel good about themselves 38 per cent of the time. Follow these tips to help make you look and feel more fabulous every day

According to psychotherapist Gael Lindenfield, spring is the best time to get that fabulous feeling. 'In January, the pressure to improve your lifestyle, whether it be through diets, detox or exercise videos, can leave a woman's self-confidence at an all-time low,' says Gael.

'Research shows that 75 per cent of British women feel they'd be more able to stick with 'spring resolutions' when they feel better about themselves. From my experience in confidence and motivational coaching, March is a time when women have a more positive mental attitude and are most likely to make changes to their lifestyle.'

Get that magic feeling in 5 easy steps

1. Magnetise
Captivating others is a great way of making yourself feel fabulous, and glamour is a core strategy for increasing your 'stand-out factor'. As first impressions are formed in the first few seconds, simple confidence tricks like adopting a dramatic change to eye make-up or accessorising with a striking piece of jewellery can bring about a positive change in how others perceive you. Swap ideas (and accessories) with a friend to help get you out of your style comfort zone.

2. Activate
Exercise releases endorphins (happy hormones) and head massage stimulates blood supply to your brain to energise you, so combine the two as an easy energiser. Don't be shy, march briskly whilst singing an uplifting song at the same time to stimulate the left and right side of the brain. You'll probably cheer up those around you too, spreading the fabulousness as you go!

3. Glorify
Perception is reality! Boost your self-belief by reminding yourself aloud of the three things you like about your personality, your three best physical features and three successes of which you're truly proud.

4. Indulge
People who believe they're worthy of treats generally feel more fabulous than those who don't. Make time every day to pamper yourself. Massage your face, hands, and if possible, feet with a rich moisturiser, drink a glass of ice cold water and indulge your sense of smell by dabbing a small amount of an exotic fragrance on the back of your neck and the pulse points on the insides of your wrists. Washing your clothes with the luxurious fragrance of Lenor Crushed Silk and Jasmine is also a great way to indulge the senses.

5. Compose
Sit down comfortably with your eyes closed. As you inhale, clench your muscles and release them on the exhale. Do this three times whilst visualising yourself in a positively fabulous situation, smiling and laughing. This will have an uplifting effect on the hormonal system. By now you should begin to feel noticeably more fabulous than when you started.
