And I second the suggestion that lostforwords made in the other thread -- go buy a hot new outfit or two, that make you look in the mirror and go "I look fantastic!"

I stopped wearing my old T-shirts and worn-out jeans (I only do that if I'm doing house or yard work now) and started wearing long-sleeve shirts -- a 180 for me, I normally hate long-sleeved shirts -- and bought a couple pairs of nice pants. I also started wearing aftershave and cologne (another 180).

My wife hasn't said anything about the change in dress yet but she has noticed the aftershave.

It does wonders for your self-esteem, especially if you go out into public.
