And much of that time, note experts, is spent battling the negative voices in our heads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeauty isn\u2019t about being perfect,\u201d says Ann Kearney-Cooke, a Cincinnati-based psychologist and eating disorder expert who helped develop theToday\/AOL Ideal to Real Body Image Survey, the results of which were released on Monday. What it\u2019s about, she tells Yahoo Shine, is \u201cdoing the best with what you have and focusing on your signature strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The survey of 2,059 adults and 200 teens also found that 60 percent of women have negative thoughts about themselves weekly; adult women worry more regularly about their appearance than they do about finances, relationships, or professional success; and moms seem to be more plagued by appearance worries than women without children are, with 73 percent of mothers regularly worrying about how they look, compared with 65 percent of women who don&#8217;t have kids.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, regarding the near-hour a day spent on getting ready, 78 percent of women said they do it to \u201cfeel better about themselves.\u201d Additionally, 62 percent of people ages 16 to 34 worry that people are judging their appearance.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s hard to say exactly how many mirror-focused minutes is healthy or unhealthy for each individual, Kearney-Cooke says that one way to figure out if you\u2019re spending too much time on your looks is if you\u2019re getting \u201ctoo perfectionistic\u201d in the process \u2014 &#8220;if you&#8217;re trying on clothes over and over, redoing your hair, redoing your eyeliner,&#8221; for example.<\/p>\n<p>She warns that getting mired in a beauty routine that\u2019s fueled by negativity (\u201cI look fat, I look old\u201d) can even go so far as to rewire your brain. \u201cAnd it really takes too much of your time and affects your mood [each morning], and then you head out into the world,&#8221; says Kearney-Cooke. \u201cIt\u2019s a very destructive ritual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: Yahoo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women spend an average of 55 minutes getting ready every morning \u2014 frittering away the equivalent of 6.4 hours a week, or 335 hours a year, on looks alone, a new survey finds.
